were attended by more than 300
leaders from 35 communities.

Strengthen Education Programs
A discussion at the conference
revealed that among the larger
communities consideration was
being given to possibilities for

developing forms of Jewish edu-
cational programs for the large
numbers who are not attending
existing schools, as well as for
strengthening current programs
and integrating formal and in-
formal educational activities that
Jewish community centers and
Jewish schools are conducting
for children, youths and adults.
Louis Roseth, Jewish youth
leader and delegate to the Na-

tional Youth Institute, said that
"young Jews in the United States
must find in themselves the in-
spiration and leadership to give
strength to their own Jewish cul-
tural heritage in order to replace
the Jewish cultural foundations
which were blasted by a war
which took so many lives of our
people."
Dr. Salo W. Baron stressed
American Jews' historic duty to
build a new compound of Juda-
ism and American culture. His

address served as a background
for the discu-ssion on Jewish edu-
cation led by Mr. Butzel, Charles
Auerbach of Cleveland, and Jos-
iah E. Brill of Minneapolis.
H. L. Lurie, executive director,
pointed to the growth of the
Council during the last 13 years
from 50 to 300 communities as
evidence of the desires of corn-
munities to work together to-
wards common goals.
A strong desire for a closer
partnership between the Jewish
communities and the United
Jewish Appeal was reported by
Mr. Sobeloff.

Jacob Joslow, educational direc-
tor of the Joint Distribution Com-
mittee in Germany, who spoke at
the second general meeting of the
Junior Service Group last night
in the Social Hall of Shaarey
Zedek.
"There is a tremendous thirst
for knowledge and education
among Jewish survivors in the
camps and centers of Germany,"
Dr. Joslow declared.
"Men and women forbidden to
practice their trades and profes-
sions, young people whose educa-
tion was suddenly interrupted,
children whose only schools were
the brutalizing concentration
camps and slave labor gangs of
Nazism—all show an amazing de-
sire for learning and education,"
he stated.
To fill the "cultural vacuum"
created by Nazism for these Jews
and to help the survivors find edu-
cational opportunities, Dr. Joslow
stated, JDC has inaugurated an
extensive educational and cultur-
al program.
Dr. Joslow, who for the past 12
months has served as educational
consultant for UNRRA, returned
to the United States only last
week. He was formerly principal
of Ludlow (Mass.) High School.
His school operates under a plan
similar to the model "Springfield
Plan" to further intercultural un-
derstanding in the schools.
The December meeting of the
Junior Service Group will be a
"Palestinian Night," devoted to
a discussion of Zionism and Jew-
. ish culture in Palestine.
