CIGARETTE FUND PROVIDES FOR ADDITIONAL SHIPMENTS October 1, 1943 In order that cigarettes may reach servicemen on time for Hanukkah and Christmas, The Jewish News this week will make four more shipments, with funds contributed from our readers to The Jewish News and A.Z.A. overseas cigarette fund. Acknowledging a remittance made two weeks ago, G.C. Dawson of the export department of the Phillip Morris Co., wrote The Jewish News last week as follows: "Your order has been entered for prompt shipment and the cigarettes will be consigned to the Special Service Officer at the nearest Port of Embarkation, for trans-shipment overseas via Army transport facilities. Your very generous gift will bring delight and contentment to the boys of the Armed Forces located in far off places all over the world and will be deeply appreciated by the recipients on arrival." JUDEA REVIVED! THE HOUR — 5:30 P.M (EST) NOVEMBER 29, 1947 December 5, 1947 EDITOR'S NOTE: Authoritative leaders of Palestinian Jewry have expressed the opinion that the new Jewish state to be set up in a partitioned Palestine will again assume the Biblical name of JUDEA, which was the name of the Jewish state after the ten tribes had separated from it and formed the kingdom of Israel. It will make the re-establishment of the Jewish state after a lapse of 1877 years.

The kaddish was recited and the El Molei Rachamim was chanted in several of the synagogues.
