• Miss Sergio, who was educated
in a convent in her native Italy,
said, "In Israel, for the :first

Christianity as I learned it, is
really being followed—and that
is by brotherhood."
Unlimited in her praise for the
Israelis, "whose spirit has sur-
vived the most impossible of ob-

she was sure that in 2,000 years,
Israel will be celebrating its 2,-

there is the beginning of a

Democratic existence," Miss
Sergio continued.
She explained that there are
over 50,000 active Arab Com-
munists, and that Israel, with
its inclination toward Western
culture, is the. bulwark against
Communist domination.
"More can be done against
Communism with a 50 bed hos-

who -maintain several hospitals

large hospital on 250 dunams of

purpose by the Israeli govern-
ment.
Miss Sergio explained how the
Communists are practicing the
same murderous type of geno-
cide as the Germans, only with
a more concealed approach.

PROTECT YOURSELF

Against Imitation Butter

Your right to know—for sure—that there's BUTTER on the table—is
threatened by a move to tamper with Michigan's long-standing imita-
tion-BUTTER law. The present law is a GOOD law. It protects you—
your family—and the family table. Especially, it also protects you when

you "eat out."

Now, with

a referendum vote on this subject on the ballot NoveMber

7, it's up to you. It's your job to protect yourself against imitation-BUTTER

Against High Milk Prices

In case Michigan's present law—prohibiting substitutes colored yellow
in imitation of BUTTER—is rendered ineffective in the November gen-
eral election ... thousands of Dairy Farms will be driven out of business.

Milk will become scarcer ... higher in price ... as it has in other states
which now allow imitation-BUTTER to be sold colored yellow. It is no
accident that milk prices in cities in those states are 11/2 cents a quart
higher than milk prices in states (including Michigan) which maintain
a protective law against selling imitation-BUTTER colored yellow*.
Keep Michigan milk plentiful—reasonable in price. Vote "NO" oa
