Leibner Tells of Sad

State of Cyprus Jews

• Julian Louis Meltzer, New
York Times correspondent 'in Is-
rael, in a cable from Tel A,viv,
states:
"Joshua j-eibner, a farmer of
the Ein Hashophet settlement
near Haifa, formerly of •Detroit,
described conditions among 12,000
Jewish refugees of the British
island of Cyprus. Mr. Leibner
had just returned from a visit-
to detention camps on behalf
of the American Jewish Joint
Distribution Committee.
"He said that the Nissen huts
and tents Were both equally un-
pleasant in the Cyprus climate."
The rations, he said, seemed to be
adequate enough on paper but
in fact were 'pretty bad.' Fresh
-food either never reached the
refugees or arrived in such poor
condition that it- could not be
used.'

Damascus Jewish Schools
Taken for Arab Hospitals

TEL AVIV, (JTA)-The Syri.L•
an Government has confiscated
Jewish schools in :Damascus and
has converted them' into hos-
pitals for Arab refugees from
Palestine, Jewish houses official•L
ly classified as . "abandoned" have
also been requisitioned by the
government, the report -added.

The National Jewish Welfare Board has published a 102-page
book, "The Jewish Holidays-A Guide to Their Origin, Significance
and Observance," by Or. iviordecal boites. From this vdiume, and a
supplementary series of JWB manuals on the observance of the
major Jewish festivals and holidays, a series of JeWish holiday
quizzes have been developed of which this one, on Rosh Hashanah,
is the first.
These quizzes can be both educational and entertaining in many
Best Wishes For The New Yea-
settings. Jewish Community Centers have used them advantageously
in a variety of programS. Simply by adapting the techniques of
some of the popular radio quiz programs the imaginative party-giver
can use the following quiz for a new and intriguing twist in party
planning.
