must reach this haven and there
regain their self respect, human
dignity and economic independ-

"The Histadruth of Palestine is

American Jewish community.

Story on Judge Mack
In. a special article on Judge
Julian W. Mack, who died in
1943, Prof, Horace M. Kallen de-
clares that the jurist "went all
out for applied democracy in
one or another field of com-
munity life, and there is hardly
a major social cause which he
did not illumine and defend."
The 50th anniversary of the
National Council of Jewish Wo-
men is marked by an article in
the Year Book by Mildred G.
Welt, of Detroit, president of the
organization. She emphasizes the
role of this oldest American Jew-
ish women's group as "an im-
portant factor in the lives of the
Jewish women of America, stim-
ulating them to a study of their
religion, history and culture and
giving them a chance' to fulfill
in action their sense of social
responsibility."

be secured as one of the mem-
bership books of the Jewish
Publication Society of America.
