THE JEWISH NEWS
Our
CHILDREN'S
CORNER
Dear Boys and Girls:
We are engaged in a horrible
war which we must 'din if we
are to remain free.
In this war, everybody must
help—men and women, boys and
girls. The young people should
buy War Stamps and Bonds
they should help in the salvage
campaigns, they should learn to
be helpful.
From wasnington the (mice
of War Information sends me an
interesting bit of information.
This office writes:
"Children of Belgian patriots
who resisted the Kaiser's troops
in World War I are waging an
underground war against the
Nazi forces in their country, the
Free Belgian radio at Leopold-
ville said this week.
As their fathers had already
done in the first war, the Bel-
gians of today know how to play
thousands of effective tricks on
their ephemeral conquerors, the
Belgian Congo station said."
Here we are not called upon
to do such things because we do
not have the enemy in our back
yard. But we must work to
the end that he should never
get here and that he should be
driven out of every part of the
world where people should be
helped to regain their freedom.
Therefore, we should all be
prepared to work until victory
is won.
UNCLE DANIEL.

ROCK OF THE ANTS:
A LEGEND OF PALESTINE
Close by the shore of Lake
Kinnereth, between Tiberias and
the colony Migdal, a solitary rock
rises out of the water.
Once upon a time this rock was
part, of the mainland, and a
whole colony of ants had made
their home on it. There they
lived peacefully, until one day
misfortune came upon them. A
great storm sprang up, the waves
of Kinnereth lashed at the shore,
tore away the earth from under
the rock, and so turned the rock
into an island. The frightened
ants scurried this way and that
way on the rock, and longed for
the safety of shore. Then in their
distress, they turned in prayer to
the Lord of the Universe, begging
Him to help them and put them
on dry land.
By the shore grew long reeds,
and when they heard the prayer
of the ants, they were moved to
pity, and agreed among them-
selves to help the ants. So the
tall reeds bowed down till their
heads reached the rock; and they
became bridges for the ants to
pass along to the shore.
Since then the rock is called
the "Rock of the Ants."

A recent letter to his mother,
Mrs. Harry Blackman, 9360 Gen-

enclosure:
OUR WORLD
Oh! what a world of waste and
destruction,
What a world of hate and cor-
ruption;
Is it a place a child you would
offer?
Could you give life for naught but
to suffer?
Oh! what a world, its joys and
many sorrows,
What a world where one lives
just for happier tomorrows,
Oh? what a world, my love can
you bear it?
For better or worse, with me
would you share it?
Pvt. Blackman is a graduate
of Central High School and
studied at Wayne University,
majoring in dramatics and voice.

Exonerate Jews
Of Trading In
"Black Market"
LONDON (JPS) — In only
three out of 50 cases of "Black
Market" trading which have
been brought to trial in recent
weeks were the participants
Jewish, according to a report of
the Royal Statistical Society
here. Leading Anglo-Jewish bod-
ies had engaged the Society to
compile figures of Jews and non-
Jews in such trading, in order
to still rumors gaining ground
in Britain to the effect that Jews
were participating largely.
Sixty Jewish chaplains, more
than twice the number who serv-
ed in the first World War, are
now on active duty with the
armed forces of the United
States, it was announced by
Dr. David de Sofa Pool, chair-
man of the Jewish Welfare
Board's Army and Navy Corn-
mittee on Religious Activities.
Fifty-four are in the Army, and
six in the Navy, Dr. Pool said,
adding that there is every likeli-
hood of an appreciable increase
in these figures in the near fu-
ture.

THE JEWISH CALENDAR
The Jewish calendar differs
from the secular in that the
former is based on the revolutions
of the moon around the earth
(lunar), while the latter is solar
in character. The Jewish day be-
gins and ends with sunset rather
than sunrise.
