states.

nounced.
This is the first commercial filin
organization in America creating
films to foster understanding and
promote fraternal relations be-
tween racial and national groups.
First of these films, "Of These
Our People," the story of the Jew
in America, is for release to
schools, civic and community in-
stitutions, religious groups, homes,
etc.

starvation, Jewish children in Bucharest, Romania, enjoy the
nourishing food provided for them by the J.D.C.
We MUST help these youngsters and the elders who have been
saved. -
We MUST save many of them, and we must settle them in
Palestine.
Therefore, when the call comes to you, through the Allied
Jewish Campaign, in your schools, to help the drive, be sure that
you do your bit so that these youngers may live and so that they
may be given the same chance for freedom that you possess.
A pleasant Sabbath to all.
