Despite the holiday season, the Carnival Execu- tive the Carnival office the different sub-committees
'
'
.and branches are working at full pressure in vanous directions. The work of organising the large number of activities is progressing very satisfactorily. As has been announced earlier, the Carnival Executive has been fortunate in securing the co-operation of Mrs. Joe Cohen who has joined the Executive. With her cus- tomary energy and zeal, she is rendering very valuable assistance and has already succeeded in securing some valuable donations in the form of objects of art which will no doubt contribute very appreciably to the success of the effort as a whole.
Repeat Performance of Mock Congress.
The Alhambra Theatre, Doornfontein, was well filled on Sunday evening, when the S.A. Zeire Zion staged a repeat perfo1rnance of the Mock Zionist Con- oTess. The function was every bit as successful as the first performance held a fortnight previously at the Jewjsh Guild. The various speeches were greeted with loud applause, and much merriment was occasioned as speakers made particularly good '' hits.'' A gratifying feature was the efficient running of the '' Congress"
to time some of the longer speeches having been shor- tened. ' 1 he "make-up " of the leading personalities -notably those of Dr. Weizmann, Mr. Nahum Soko- 1o\V, Dr. l\lossin ohn, ~fr. JalJotinsky and Dr. l\fagn s - wcre polished and trne to Ii

The Golden Chain.
This effort which was undertaken by the Johan- nesburg Zionist Association, is making steady progress and the response by the human links is most gratify- ing. Even at this initial stage, the chain has already covered a very extensive field, and there is every indi- cation that by the time it is finished it will have covered a very wide area.

National Youth Association For the Advancement of Jewish ulture.
The above Association held its introductory meeting· on Wednesday evening, the 8th inst., at the Hebl'ew High School, Johannesburg. Mr. Morris Sewitz was in the hair.
The Chairman explained that the object of the Association was to impart to the Jewish youth a general knowledge of ev iy phase of Jewish life and thought, pa. t and present. HP c1·iticised the Young Israel Movement for it:s inertia in th direction of spreading a knowledge of Jewish culture among its membe1·s.
Mr. I. Goss, the Secretary, empha. i. e<l that the problem. confronting the Jewish youth can and mu. t be oh· d b thf' youth itself.
l li.. I. Weyburne referred to ineffici nt and c:nnty Jewi. h ducation which the averag-e South African J wi. h child re ceived. The latter acquired a knowledge of ba1 e fact in icy- cold sunoundings; he was debaned from appreciating to tlw fullest extent the beauty of the Hebrew and Yidclish literatures, and had to rely on their English translation for his knowledge of Jewish culture. The new Association woulrl endeavour to acquaint the Jewish youth with its literature from original sources. It would endeavour to inF:til the true !>.pirit of Judaism and Zioni, m.
Mr. S. Katz claimed that by acquainting one youth with the Hebrew lan uage and literature and and J wi8h hif'torr, assimilation can be le ·c;ened.
A lively discussion followed, in which Me. srs. Rlankneld, Drntman and Kagan participated.
