PHILADELPHIA ENROLLS
3,000 ZIONIST MEMBERS

PHILADELPHIA, PA., — The
enrollment of 3,000 members,
more than double the member-
ship of last year, was announced
by Rabbi Simon Greenberg,
president of the Philadelphia
branch of the Zionist Organiza-
tion of America. This unprece-
dented increase in the numerical
strength of the organization in
this city is the result of an in-
tensive campaign, climaxed by
a victory dinner at which Dr.
Chaim Weizmann was the guest
speaker.
Sponsoring four consecutive
daily campaign dinners, the
membership committee, headed
by Lawrence Horowitz, William
Sylk and Dr. Jacob Rose, suc-
ceeded in enlisting, during that
short period, close to 1700 ad-
tional members. The main
speakers at these functions were
Judge Louis E. Levinthal, presi-
dent of the Zionist Organization
of America, Rabbi Simon Green-
berg and Simon Shetzer, execu-
tive director of the Z. 0. A.

THE TWO-WAY VICTORY
"Hamabit," columnist of the
South African Zionist Record,
tells the following amusing in-
cident about General Sikorsky,
the Polish Commander-in-Chief,
who was introduced to a famous
Polish Rabbi in Palestine at the
time he was visiting in Eretz
Israel.
The General asked the Rabbi
what he thought would be the
outcome of the war.
The Rabbi replied: "We shall
win the war in one of two ways,
either by natural mears, or
through a miracle."
Sikorski: "What do you under-
stand by natural means?"
The Rabbi: "Since we are
fighting a just war it it natural
to expect Divine Intervention."
Surprised, Sikorski asked:
"What, then, would be a mir-
acle?"
The Rabbi replied: "If we won
without Divine Intervention."

A MOTHER'S WARNING
"Hamabit" also relates this
story:
Little Aby Mitzkolowitz was
being taken to a new school by
his mother. This is what she told
the principal: "My Aby has been
brought up very delicate indeed.
He has had the best of every-
thing. Please arrange for the
teacher not to slap him if he 'Is
naughty. If anyone has to be
punished, let her slap the boy
next to Aby, and this will give
him a big enough fright!"

OSCAR LEVANT STORY
The Des Moines Register is
authority for the following story:
Oscar Levant, the musical an-
swer man, in his younger days
often played hookey from his
piano lessons. At one time, when
he had skipped several lessons,
his mother thought it high time
to give him a good talking to.'
"Don't worry, mom," said Os-
car, at that time a quiz kid with-
out a program, "music runs in
our family."
"I know that," replied Mrs. Le-
vant, "but the way you're prac-
ticing it's likely to run out
again." ,

Plans for a communal Yiddish
theater have been postponed in-
definitely, it has been announced
by the Jewish Theater Guild' of
Detroit. In explanation of this
decision, the Guild issued - the
following statement: , -
"The Hebrew Actors' Union of
New York City, which had- voiced
its approval of the Detroit proj-
ect and expressed its desire to
co-operate, adopted such attitude
that negotiations are now at a
deadlock.
"The Jewish Theater Guild ac-
ceded to all the demands made
by the Hebrew Actors' Union,
especially on the matter of guar-
anteed wages. The Union, on the
other hand, refused to recognize
two points which the Guild rec-
ognizes as its prerogative:
"1. To engage as its art di-
rector, Zygmunt Turkov, re-
nowned producer of the Warsaw
Jewish Art Theater;
"2. To engage non-union as
well as union members in the
event that the union would not
be able to supply either the
quality of high-calibre artists de-
sired by the Jewish Theater
Guild.
"The Jewish Theater Guild
proposed that an impartial com-
mitee of five experts be called
upon to make the decision whe-
ther the union artists should -be
joined by non-union artists, it
being understood that at all times
the number of union artists would
be in the majority. The proposed
committee was to consist of the
H. Leivick, Yiddish poet and
playwright; David Pinski, Yid-
disk writer and playwright, and
president • of the Jewish National
Workers' Alliance; S. Niger, a
leader in ZICO (Central Jewish
Cultural Organization) ; Joel En-
teen, Yiddish Theater critic, and
associate editor of the' Kaempfer;
M. Elkin, director of the Depart-
ment of Theater Anthology and
Central Library Board of YeVo
"The Hebrew Actors' Union
has refused these points. In view
of this stand and its desire not
to compromise the standards to
which it is dedicated, the execu-
tive committee of the Jewish

Dear Boys and Girls:
In two weeks, we shall gather
in our synagogues to pray for
peace—and for victory.
Peace alone wilt not be enough
—if it is to mean being slaves
to the Nazis.
We shall pray also for ever-
lasting peace, and that we never
again shall suffer the oppressions
which were heaped upon man-
kind by the brutal governments
of Europe and Asia.
Let us all hope that the ideals
of our sages and prophets will
be realized and that we shall
have peace and justice on earth.
Today I am quoting for you
a few of the wise sayings of our
great rabbis.
• UNCLE DANIEL

• •

WISE SAYINGS OF THE
RABBIS IN ISRAEL
Be of the disciples of Aaron,
loving peace and pursuing peace,
loving mankind and drawing
them nigh to the Torah.
He who does not increase (his
knowledge) decreases (it). If I
am not for myself, who will be
for me? But if I care for myself
only, what am I? And if not now,
.:hen?
Set a fixed time for thy (study
of) Torah.
Say little and do much.
Receive all men with a cheer-
ful countenance.
• • •
By three things is the world
preserved: By truth, by judg-
ment, and by peace.
Do not say, "When I have

leisure I will study;" perchan
thou wilt have no leisure.
Not learning but doing is
chief thing.
Do His will as if it were
will, that He may do thy wi
as if it were His will.
Separate not thyself from
congregation.
Judge not thy neighbor unt
thou are come into his place.
• • •

The more Torah, the mo
life; the more schooling,
more wisdom; the more cou
the more understanding; t
more charity, the more peace.
Let thy friend's honor be
dear to thee as thine own.
Be not easily excited to ange
Let the property of thy frie
be as dear to thee as thine o
Pray for the welfare of t
government.
Be submissive to a superi
affable to the young, and recei
all men with cheerfulness.
• • •
Who is wise? He who lear
from all men.
Who is mighty? He who co
trols his passions.
There are three crowns:
crown of Torah, the crown
priesthood, and the crown
royalty; but the crown of a g
name excels them all.
Who is rich? He who rejoi
in his portion.
