CHILDREN'S
CORNER

Dear Boys and Girls:
The Holy Days are approach-
ing. That means the end of the
vacation, the beginning of school
days, the approach of colder
weather.
We will all welcome the Rosh
Hashanah and Yom Kippur days
with great solemnity. They will
be days of prayer for the wel-
fare of all peoples and for the
end of tragedies and wars in
the world.
'Today I am going to relate to
you a story about King Solomon
and will quote some interesting
s2yings_ from the Midrash.
I wish you all a pleasant Sab-
bath.
UNCLE DANIEL.

KING SOLOMON AND
THE BIRD
King Solomon had the reputa-
tion of understanding every lan-
guage in existence, including
that of the animal world. Once
he heard a bird talking to his
mate that was sitting on the
dome of the temple. Said the
bird: "If I were to stamp my
foot hard, the whole temple
would collapse in a moment.'
Hearing this boasting remark,
King Solomon called the male
bird and, assuming an angry
look, asked him what he meant
by such language. Trembling
with fear, the bird excused him-
self saying that he merely wish-
ed to tell his mate how strong
he was.
After being cautioned not to
be so boastful in the future, the
bird returned to his wife, who
was anxiously awaiting his re-
turn. And on her asking what
the great King wanted of him,
he answered: "King Solomon
urgently implored me not to
destroy this beautiful temple."

SAYINGS FROM THE
MIDRASH
If you want to incur contempt,
be extravagant in self-praise.
Have a good word for your
fellow-man, and the ministering
angels will plead for you before
the throne of mercy.
God lends eloquence to the
suppliant.
Slight no man. Every man
was created in God's image.
He who rebukes his fellow-
man with a sincere desire to
make him better is worthy of
entering the holy of holies.
To entice a man to sin is
tantamount to taking his life.
Mercy and goodness are the
brightest jewels in God's crown.
He that slights his parents may
be compared to a knife normally
employed for cutting food but
which cuts the owner's hand, or

of our distressed people, we stand
ready to render unstinted aid to
our brethren in their economic,
cultural and spiritual endeavors
in that country.
"But in the light of our uni-
versalistic interpretation of Jew-
ish history and destiny, we are
unable to subscribe to or sup-
port the political emphasis now
paramount in the Zionist pro-
gram. We cannot but believe
that Jewish nationalism tends to
confuse our fellowmen about our
place and function in society and
also diverts our own attention
from our historic role to live as
a religious community.
"It is therefore incumbent upon
all of us, Jews and non-Jews
alike, to stress to the utmost the
teachings of our own religion
that are all-inclusive, if we would
permanently correct the evils
that so often bring suffering to
mankind."

Another Jap Ship
Makes Fat Target
For Jewish Hero

Colin Kelly's Bombadier Is
Sure He Sank 12,000 Ton
Vessel in Coral Sea

SAN FRANCISCO (JPS) —
Sergeant Meyer Levin, the Jew-
ish boy from Brooklyn to whom
America paid tribute when, as
Captain Colin Kelly's bombar-
dier, he sank the Japanese bat-
tleship Haruna, is almost cer-
tain he sank another big Japa-
nese ship in the Coral Sea Bat-
tle.
Levin, now serving on the
flying fortress presented to the
army by the people of Seattle,
said: "I got one big ship in the
Coral Sea battle, or at least I
got a beautiful hit, though I
suppose I'll never know whether
she sank or not. She was a big,
fat, 12,000-ton passenger-cargo
ship, and we found her right in
the center of the convoy."
This was the second time that
Levin was forced to jump for his
life as a result of the disabling
of his plane in an engagement.
He had escaped from the crash
in, which Kelly was killed by
bailing out of the plane which
sank the Haruna.

Statement Issued by Rabbi Wolsey Charges Palestine Pro-
gram Confuses, Diverts Attention From
Historic Religious Role

PHILADELPHIA (J.P.S.) — A
statement ciriticizing growing na-
tionalism in American life and
pleading a return to "the teach-
ings of our own religion" has
been signed by 89 non-Zionists,
under the chairmanship of Rabbi
Louis Wolsey of this city, he an-
nounced here.
The statement, which expressed
"unwavering faith" in the prin-
ciples of democracy, and declared
that our way of life is founded
on "principles first envisaged by
the Prophets of Israel and em-
bodied in our American Bill of
Rights," regretted, however, the
"absorption of large numbers of
nationalistic endeavors and the
tendency to reduce the religious
basis of life to a place of second-
ary importance."
The declaration read in part:
"Realizing how important Pal-
estinian rehabilitation is towards

A symbol of the steady progress made by Histadrut coopera-
tive institutions in Palestine is the new TNUVA dairy plant just
opened at Haifa. Fully equipped with modern equipment, the
TNUVA dairy is turning out pure pasteurised milk and milk
products. While many private milk producers have switched to
manufacturing butter and cheese which command higher prices,
TNUVA has cooperated with the Jewish authorities to market
fluid milk to meet the health needs of the country, rather than
profiteer because of war conditions. TNUVA markets the produce
of 150 labor settlements.

Appeal Issued as Clothing
- Collection Deadline is
Set for Sept. I

The Federation of Polish Jews
is trying to contact Jewish sol-
diers, citizens of Poland, who
have been interned in German
camps. Lists of prisoners' names
have been received and an effort
will be made to send them food
and clothing. In communications
addressed to the Central Office
of the Red Cross and other agen-
cies, information is being sought
as to the feasibility of making
such contacts.
The Detroit clothing campaign
will terminate Sept. 1, after
which no clothing will be accept-
ed for shipment. Those who wish
to contribute are urged to de-
liver the packages personally.
Only when the contribution is
large will arrangements be made
to pick it up by truck. Clothing
is accepted daily, except Satur-
days, at 9124 Linwood Ave., TY-
ler 7-9650.
