Our CHILDREN'S CORNER Everybody Must Give to the War Chest In all schools, as well as in every home, children are now be- ing asked to become partners in a great humanitarian effort. Men, women and children—all are asked to give their share to the War Chest. Those of you who have read the tragic story of the children in France, as well as the boys and girls in Poland and other countries now ruled by the cruel Nazis, will understand what it means to provide relief for them. Also, those of us who know the meaning of a home will realize how important it is to build the Jewish National Home in Pales- tine for tens of thousands who are looking for means of escape from lands of oppression. These are among 50 Jewish causes which will be supported with funds raised by the War Chest. Therefore we must all be pre- pared to give as much as we can. Plan your gift now through your -school, and encourage your parents to be as generous as possible.
