CHILDREN'S
CORNER
Dear Boys and Girls:
This time, I really mean to
speak only to the girls—but I
want the boys to listen in.
Remember the fine photograph
of the graduates of the United
Hebrew Schools, on the first page
of last week's issue of The Jew-
ish News? Did you notice that
the girls were in the minority?
It is a fact—that there are less
girls than boys in our schools,
and it is something to regret.
I am calling this to your at-
tention, and I hope that the girls
will make amends for it next
year and will offer competition
to the boys and will try to out-
number them. Go to your par-
ents, ask them to send you to a
Hebrew school branch near your
home.
And you, boys—the reason I
am asking you to listen in is to
ask you to encourage your sis-
ters. your cousins, your friends
to go to Hebrew school.
This week I want to give you
some interesting facts regarding
Jewish religious observances and
to quote wise sayings from the
Ta !mud.

JEWISH FAST DAYS
Although the Day of Atonement
is the only fast prescribed by the
Mosaic law, a number of fasts have
been added to the Jewish calendar.
Some of the important fasts are
the Fast of Esther. the Fast of the
First-born. Day of Atonement, and
the Fast of Gedaliah.

"A BOOK FOR THE YOUTH
Rabbi Beryl D. Cohon of Bos-
ton has published a book of con-
siderable value for Jewish youth.
It is entitled "Introduction to
Judaism" and is dedicated to the
confirmation classes of his Tem-
ple. Bloch Publishing Co. of New
York published the book.
This little book deserves very
high commendation. It describes
the contents and values of the
Bible. Apocrypha and Talmud as
well as Midrashic and other
sources of Judaism.
Under the heading "Ideals of
Judaism," the second part of the
book deals with the social life
of Jews, God, Torah, etc.
The third is the longest part
of Rabbi Cohon's book. It de-
scribes the institutions of Juda-
ism—the Synagogue, the Prayer
Book. the Sabbath and all Jewish
holidays, festivals and feasts. It
describes services for special oc-
casions, customs and ceremonies.
Additional portions of value
are to be found in the appendix,
explaining the Jewish calendar
and suggesting a list of books for
further study.

WASHINGTON NOTES:
The reports of Nazi mass-ex-
ecutions of Jews in Vilna and
other occupied cities are begin-
ning to attract official attention
in Washington . . . A Jewish
delegation may soon ask the
State Department to issue a
statement expressing official
Government condemnation of the
Nazi massacres of Jews in con-
quered Eastern European terri-
tories.
Thousands of telgrams were
received by Winston Churchill
during his visit in America urg-
ing him to permit the establish-
ment of a Jewish Army in Pales-
tine . . The Committee for a
Jewish Army, in addition pub-
lishing an appeal to Churchill as
a paid advertisement in leading
American newspapers, also un-
dertook large-scale action to im-
press upon the British Prime
Minister the necessity of taking
the question of the establishment
of a Jewish Army out of the
hands of the Colonial Office and
into his own.
Thogood wishes sent by Judge
Levinthal in behalf of the Zionist
Organization of America to the
Soviet Ambassador Litvinoff on
the occasion of the anniversary
of the Nazi attack on Russia
came as a great surprise to many
. . . After the visits paid to Lit-
vinoff by Dr. Weizmann, David
Ben-Gurion, Dr. Nahum G
man, Emanuel Neumann and
other prominent Zionist leaders,
the message from Judge Levin-
thal is considered by some as
confirmation of the belief that
Zionism may no longer be tabu
in Russia when the war is over
... This is confirmed all the more
by the fact, known only to a
few, that Judge Levinthal's mes-
sage was issued to the press not
by Zionist quarters but by the
Soviet Embassy ' in Washington
who seemed especially eager to
have this message printed

Bicur Cholem
Tops Ball League
When the Jewish Center Base-
ball league opened, Morrie Ber-
esh, Bicur Cholem catcher, inti-
mated that he had been practicing
a new stance at the plate. He
never used it, however, until last
Sunday's game with the Colleg-
iates. With the score tied at three
in the sixth and runners on first
and second, Beresh shifted his
feet on the first pitch, and hit a
double to give Bicor Cholera a
5-3 victory. Bicor Cholem now is
in first place.
The Vanguards greeted Outlaw
pitcher, Al Betz, with a flurry of
base knocks, scoring eight runs
on eight hits in three innings, and
although Betz allowed only two
hits the rest of the distance, they
won, 8-4.
The Maccabees muffed their
opportunity of topping the league
by dropping a 5-2 decision to the
Trylons.
Following this week's games,
Bicur Cholem still was in first
place. Trylons, Outlaws, Colleg-
iates are tied for second place;
Maccabees are fifth, Vanguards
sixth, Bengals seventh, and Her-
mits last with no wins and six
losses.
Camp Chelsea
Although Camp Chelsea, lo-
cated at Chelsea, Mich., enter-
tains both mothers and young
children as campers, the activi-
ties of the adults and the young-
sters are widely separated.
Camp Chelsea may be reached
by Greyhound bus. The camp
opened June 28 with a family
camping week. The closing week,
Aug. 16 to 22, also will be devot-
ed to family camping.

THE CHURCHILL VISIT
When Prime Minister Winston
Churchill arrived in this country
last week, supporters of the Com-
mittee for a Jewish Army sent
him thousands of wires pleading
for the establishment of such a
Jewish army . . . And though
most of the wires were addressed
to the White House, the protocol-
wise telegraph companies deliv-
ered every last one of them to
the British Embassy . . And
after two days of an incessant
flood of these telegrams, the piles
of which mounted so high that
the embassy staff had to work as
from behind barricades, one of
the secretaries is said to have
commented: "I wish, by Jove, the
P.M. would decide to give the
Jews their army before we're
completely crowded out of our
quarters."
SZYS IN WHITE HOUSE
Some of Arthur Szyk's paint-
ings hang in the White House, he
has learned from Mrs. Roosevelt
. Szyk,. a Polish Jew who lived
in Paris until the Nazis took over,
is the world's outstanding anti-
Axis satirical cartoonist . . . You
have surely seen some of his Hit-
ler and Goering caricatures on
the covers of some of the large-
circulation magazines.
FROM THE t APITAL
Washington rumor, not always
completely reliable, has it that
Herbert Bayard Swope is slated
for a big War Department job
. . . Possibly it's based on the
fact that Swope was the origina-
tor, quite some months ago, of
the nifty which, in a number of
variations, is turning up in the
men's clothing ads nowadays:
"The best-dressed man is the
man in uniform"' . . . German
propaganda, reaching
us via
short-wave, is identifying Elmer
Davis, America's new informa-
tion chief, as a Jew . . . "Don't
let a Jew tell you what to say,"
the Goebblesites are screaming
. . . Sorry, Gabby—proud though
we'd be to claim Mr. Davis, his
ancestry precludes it.

tioned as a • likely Democratic

At "Gan Hay- eled", the chil-
