Dear Boys and Girls:
A Happy New Year to you all!
We have experienced a very sad year in the life of all peoples
and especially the Jewish people, and we shall all be praying
during the Holy Days which commence this Friday night for a
year of peace and of freedom.
As we usher in Rosh Hashanah, we must all remember the
sad past, and we must think in terms of hope and courage of the
future. I am thinking of the following lines by the great Hebrew
poet. Jetiuda Halevi, who wrote nearly 800 years ago:
Happy is he that watches, drawing near,
Until he sees Thy glorious lights arise,
And over whom Thy dawn breaks full and clear
Set in the Orient skies.
But happiest he, who, with exultant eyes,
The bliss of Thy redeemed ones shall behold
And see Thy youth renewed as in the days of old.
This is the true spirit of our peonle—never to give up hope
awl always to look forward to a better future; to trust in God
and to retain a youthful outlook on life.
On the occasion of the New Year, this column is longer than
usual, and you will have more to read during the two days of
Rosh Hashanah.
I repeat my good wishes to You on the New Year and I. pray
&ma hope that of you and your families will be blessed with
health and happiness and that we shall all welcome a victorious
peace during the months to come.
UNCLE DANIEL.

sounds of the trumpet than that

As time passed "the turning

leaf and the falling foliage
awakened serious thoughts in
man, and the solemn tone of
the Shofar addressed itself to
him in the words: "Awake, ye
man, from slumber, arouse from
lethargy, search your ways, re-'

to the path of duty!"

ment, when the Ruler of Life
sits on the world's throne to in-
vestigate the doings of man, and
allot to each, as it were, his
destiny for the coming year,
whether for life or for death,
for happiness or for woe.
There are three lessons to be
drawn from the observance of
the New Year's Day. The first
one tells us to look back upon
the past year with its exper-
iences of joy and sorrow, with
gratitude to God, the Ruler of
our Destiny, and renew our
trust in Him. The second teach-
ing tells us to look back upon
our doings and misdoings during
the year, recognizing that God,
the stern Judge of the world,
searches our hearts and reads
every thought therein, and de-
termine to begin the new life
with better resolves and higher
purposes. The third lesson tells
us to look upon the life of man-
kind and especially upon the
history of Israel in the light of
God's Revelations on Mount
Moriah, Mount Sinai and Mount
Zion.

Many More Signatures Ex-
pected for Petition Against
Against Nazi Atrocities
NEW YORK (JPS)—More than
100,000 signatures already have
been obtained for a petition ad-
dressed to President RooseVelt on
behalf of the Jewish victims of
Nazi atrocities, the Jewish Labor
Committee, which is gathering
the signatures, has announced.
The campaign to obtain support
for the petition ends September
15. Originally designed as an ap-
peal to the President to speak out --
in warning to the Nazis against
their continued massacre of Jews,
the petition is now a token of ap-
preciation to the President for his
message to the recent Madison
Rear Admiral H. E. Yarnell
