Americans' Responsibility

Reporting on the political ac-
tivities which he is conducting in
the United States in conjunction
with other members of the World
Zionist Executive residing in
America, and with the participa-
tion of some American Zionist
leaders, Dr. Weizmann said that
there is undoubtedly a friendly
attitude in America towards the
practical and political aims of
Zionism, but there are also some
groups which oppose Zionist as-
pirations. He urged American
Zionists to make it an integral
part of their activities "to en-
lighten public opinion in this
country on the Zionist aims and
to meet squarely hostile attacks
on the Zionist movement." .

Immediate Action Needed

Speaking on the internal de-
velopments in American Jewry,
as far as Zionist post-war aims
are concerned, Dr. Weizmann ex-
pressed the belief that 90 per
cent of American Jews believe in
the justice of the Zionist cause.
He emphasized, however, that in
his opinion the attitude of Ameri-
can Jewry must be given clear
expression, whether through a
referendum or a democratically
organized Congress of American
Jews for Palestine, which, he be-
lieves, ought to be one of the im-
mediate aims of Amer i c an
Zionism.

At Banquet Sunday

The testimonial dinner in
honor of the 50th birthday of
Dr. Shmarya Kleinman will take
place this Sunday evening at the
Workmen's Circle Center, 11529
Linwood: It is being arranged by
a group of friends and a com-
mittee which represents a cross-
section of the numerous move-
ments in which Dr. Kleinman is
active.
Born in Russia, Dr. Kleinman
received his traditional Jewish
education and studied Talmud at
the age of 10. He was educated
at the Vilno Gymnasium, the
University of Berlin medical
school, Psycho-Neurological In-
stitute of Petrograd and was
graduated from the Donskey
University medical college in
Rostov on Don.
Dr. Kleinman for a time de-
voted himself to journalistic ac-
tivities. In 1917 he was in Ros-
tov. He served as physician in
the Russian armies and later in
the Polish army. In 1922 he wrote
for newspapers in Warsaw where
he made his home before coming
to this country in 1923. He was
resident physician in the Law-
rence, Mass., hospital before corn-
ing to Detroit in 1927.
During his 15 years' residence
here he has been active in labor
and social service movements and
in behalf of ZIKO and other cul-
tural movements. He is chairman
of the civilian defense committee
of the Jewish Community Coun-
cil.
Mrs. Kleinman is a member of
the State Defense Council. Their
daughter, Dr.- Bernice Kleinman,
is now with her husband, Dr.
Irving A. Warren, a Lieutenant in
the Air Corps of the U. S. Army.
Joseph Bernstein is honorary
chairman of the dinner committee
of which James I. Ellmann is
chairman.

Dr. - Weizmann announced that
he expects to remain in the
United States until Spring, when
he plans to return to England.

farms, nurseries and social serv-
ices for working mothers. The
most recent project to receive the
whole-hearted support this year

estine, in which the Pioneer
Women's Organization of Detroit
is inscribing one room in the
name of the late Mrs. Yetta
Kanat.

WASHINGTON (JPS) — Com-

Stimson's announcement of the
formation of an Austrian bat-
talion within the framework of
the United States Army, Fulton
Lewis, Jr., well. known Washing-
ton radio commentator, strongly
commended the idea of a "Pal-
estinian battalion" and declared
that "high Army sources" with
whom he had conferred had been
"extremely receptive to the idea."
Such a Palestinian battalion,
Mr. Lewis said, would be formed
of any Palestinian Jews now in
the United States plus all "state-
less" Jews who wished to join.

The Extra Half Hour
Is What Wins!,

When James A. Garfield was working his way
through college he found himself in a friendly
scholastic competition with another boy. There
were no formal rules, no challenge, no prizes.
It just happened that two brilliant boys met in
the same classes and unconsciously began to vie
with each other for scholastic leadership. There
was not much difference in their knowledge—
not much, but just a "slight edge," as we would
say today, in favor of the other boy. Garfield
felt certain there was some little thing, some
key to the secret of why this boy could always
prove a little superior to him.
One night, after concluding his studying, as he
blew out his lamp, preparatory to going to bed,
James happened to look out his window. Across
the way he could see the house in which the
other boy lived. In that boy's room the lamp
was still burning. Garfield stood there in the
dark watching that light. For fully a half hour
more the lamp burned. James knew the secret:
his rival was putting in a half hour more than
he each night in study. Needless to say, Garfield
beat the boy by studying a half hour after the
boy blew out HIS lamp.
The extra half hour can be translated to a little
extra effort in defense work. Whether we work
in defense manufacturing or whether we do
only volunteer work we must put a "half hour"
more than the German or Jap—and remember,
he is striving desperately.
In health the "extra half hour" should mean
extra care of your body: plenty of sleep, regular
meals of nourishing food, moderation in your
habits, prompt medical attention for even seem-
ingly minor illnesses. If you are going to give
that "extra half hour" in war effort you MUST
give that "extra half hour" to body care.
In prescription compounding Sam's give the
"extra half hour" by carefully buying only the
finest ingredients, by setting rigid checking
standards, by keeping prices on a cost plus
fair profit basis.
