Overcoming
Swimming
Handicaps
Weds Serviceman
Many people hesitate to go
swimming due to two factors—
that they do not know how, an
don't like being seen at anything
that they aren't proficient at; and
that different interests seem to
exclude swimming from their
everyday program.
. It is important to overcome
these objections in order to reach
a more harmonious and balanced
program in life. As a healthful
exercise, no other sport can com-
pete with swimming, in which
both young and old can partici-
pate.
To young folks; swimming is
almost as great a social "must"
as dancing. Learning to swim is
fun. The Red Cross has spent
years in compiling data on a
scientific method of teaching. The
greater or lesser degree of suc-
cess depends on the experience
and personality of the individual
instructor.
As to myself, the number of
people I have taught runs in the
thousands, and includes all ages,
backgrounds and handicaps. One
is never too old or too young to
learn to swim. On my files I've
recorded children who were :less
than three years of age, and I
have personally taught a man
who had passed his 80th birthday.
If you can't swim, don't let
that stop you, it's a lot of fun to
learn. Come down to the Center,
and learn to swim for health and
pleasure.
Palestine Mandate
Will Be Re-Examined
WASHINGTON, (JTA) — Un-
der-Secretary of State Stettinius
this week told the press that the
question of mandates is among
the unfinished business left over
from Dumbarton Oaks. He thus
indicated that Britain's mandate
over Palestine and other - man-
dates will be re-examined by the
proposed international body. Ac-
cording to informed Washington
sources, a system of "trusteeship"
under which several nations
would share the responsibility
for the dependent country is
among the plans under consider-
ation.
MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, (JTA) —The Argentine prov-
ince of Entre Rios, on the border of Brazil, where more than
10 percent of the agricultural population is Jewish, in many
aspects resembles one of the German provinces at the time
Hitler still dreamed of the conquest of the world, Jacob
Landau, managing director of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency

10 New Settlements
Launched in Palestine
NEW YORK—During the past
two weeks, ten new Jewish set-
tlements, the largest number ever
to be launched at any one time,
were started in Palestine, half of
them to absorb demobilized Jew-
ish soldiers who have served with
the British Army since 1939, ac-
cording to Dr. James G. Heller,
national chairman of the United
Palestine Appeal,„ through the
United Jewish Appeal for Refu-
gees, Overseas Needs and Pales-
tine. The UPA is the central
fund-raising agency of American
Jewry for the upbuilding Of the
Jewish homeland in Palestine.
(UJA funds are received in De-
troit through the War Chest).
With these 10 colonies under
way, there are now 300 Jewish
settlements in Palestine, Dr. Hell-
er stated.
MIDWAY FLORIST
TO, 8-1560
reported upon his arrival from
Argentina.
For months, nationalists had
been given a free hand for their
anti-Semitic propaganda, often
openly protected by the local po-
lice, who are highly sprinkled
with nationalist elements. Jew-
ish houses are still marked in big
red letters: "Jew" or "Death to
the Jews" or "Keep Out of Jew-
ish Business." A police officer is
stationed in every Jewish colony
to watch Jewish activities.
All Jewish teachers, number-
ing about 120, were dismissed
from the public schools largely
on the unfounded charges of
communism. After strong pro-
tests, consideration is being given
for reinstatement of the teachers,
each case being treated individ-
ually.
In public schools of many Jew-
ish colonies, where almost 100
percent of the students are Jew-
ish, school walls are decorated
with Catholic religious objects as
part of the state-required moral-
ity teachings. Teachers are Cath-
olics. In other schools, where
Jewish children are in the minor-
ity they are receiving Catholic
instruction.
During the recent Jewish holi-
days, Jews had great difficulties
in keeping their stores closed be-
cause of threats from local police.
Only after a successful appeal to
higher authorities were they per-
mitted to close their shops.

FOR OUR OWN - FOR OUR ALLIES'
Russia's gallant Red Armies,
fighting backward and forward
across r vast domain, have
written a glorious chapter in
world istory. The story of the
courat.: pus defense is studded
with I:rilliant victories, topped
by the epic of Stalingrad, a saga
of heroism that amazed the
world.
But Russia's victory has been
achieved at a terrific cost. The
need for help to relieve the con-
ditions is a matter of serious
concern.
Russian War Relief, a member
agency of the Community War
Chest, is endeavoring to aid the
millions of Russian war victims.
A contribution to the War Chest
will help this. great humanitarian
cause. "They'll Never Forget
That You Remembered!" Give
as generously as you can to the
War Chest, 51 W. Warren.
