. ·. )L J,evin. the gue ·t speaker, in the course most interesting .talk, pointed out the lessons n draw from the disast<>rs that overtook the h p(>ople on Tisha-be-av in four different of hi tory: (1) The de '~ruction of the 1st subsequent events revealing the inade- of Galut life. (2) The destruction _of ~he Temple a feature of which was the d1sumty

,t th~ Jews themselves. (3) The failure of Bar Kochba uprising sbowiug that the Jews always attempted to regain their freed?m against oi;·erwhelming odds. The expulsion Jews from pain, showing that even coun- whcre Jews had once flourished did not offer rmaucnt substitute for our own horn land.

as a whole. •

Mr. RiYlin in a, vNy interesting little talk :-:tress d the important role of women in promoting the iuterPst of young people in s amanship as a can•er. In Palestine all women's c·rgani ation · are keenl:Y participating in the work of the Leagu and the Cap Town branC'h of the "Cnion is count •d among ~hem not only for the f.lcholar- ship it provi<les but for its contributions and interest in the Sailors' Club. 'fhe head of several maritime companie. in Palestine are women and there are a number of girls training as members of crews on small ships.

Mr .. D. Harri: thank cl .... Ir. Rfrlin for having C'Ome and focussed the att ntion of women on this great and important Jewish rnoYement.

Bnoth Zion Association.

The monthly "At Home" was held in the Minor Zionist Hall, on the 23rd July. Mrs. M. Segal, who presided, welcomed members and workers of the Freedom Fete, whom she thanked for their fine work, particularly the chairlady, Mrs. Heneck, and her co-worker, Mrs. Philips.

l\Irs. Lieberman, on behalf of members of the Bnoth Zion, took the opportunity of congratulating Mrs. Segal on the occasion of her son's Barmitzvah and announced the inscription of his name in the Sefer Barmitzvah and the presentation of a garden of trees in the name of Mr. and Mrs.

Segal. Mrs. Sebal responded and expressed her sincere tha ks.

M s. Segal then introduced the main speaker of the afternoon, Mr. Rivlin, General Secretary of tbe Palestine Maritime League.

Mr. Rivlin declared that he always enlisted the sympathy and help of Worn n's Organisations because in introducing a maritime economy into Pal stine a psychological r volution was n essary to make Jewish people sea·minded and in enlisting man-power for this new nterprise, \Vhat better ally could be found than worn n? It was their at tit udt> which would in flu nee their men-folk.

l\Ir. Rivlin then v. ent on to point out the im·

porlance of a maritime en erprise for Palestine and World J wry. The future political lnlus of Palestine was an undecid d lssu . Europ wa crowded with horn el s. J wish r fugees and Pales·

tine was their only salvation; the more strongly Jews were entrenched in the economic life of Palestine, the greater would their influence be in deciding the nature of the future status of Pales·

tine. A maritime enterprise was a comparatively new and untouched aspect of Jewish economic life and should ha an interesting future.

The l\faritime League wished to sponsor the formation of a Mercantile 1arine to conduct sea- born trade through Jewish Palestinian Shipping

ompanies which would receive the profits of such trade and enrich the country's economic life. Mr:

Rivlin d clared that Jewish refugees who could be saved had not been helped because of lack of shipping space. Jewish shipping companies would take the deepest personal interest in saving such refugees and their efforts would be intense.

Mrs. Segal thanked Mr. Rivlin for his interesting addrei>s.

During the afternoon Mrs. Irving, accompanied by Prof. Irving, entertained the gathering with selection of delightful songs.

Rondebosch Massadah

A meeting was held at the residence of !Mr.

and Mrs. Cope on 16th July. The Chairman introduced the guest speaker, Dr. A. Jonker, and extended a h arty welcome to the :many new mem hers present. The new service was read by l\fr. F. Robinson.

Dr. Jonker discussed "Inter-marriage and the Jewish National Home." In Biblical days t:he Jew intermarried and prospered, but in modern days the as 'imilation of Jews in Germany had not solved the problem of anti-seroitism. Dr.

Jon.ker averred that the so-called Jewish problem was reaUv a Gentile problem and that only by humanita;·ianism and educat,ion could it be solved.

A very animated discussion followed, and many question·s were put, to which Dr, Jonker replied.

Dr. Y. Resnekov rounded off a most enjoyable and instruct1ve evening with a vote of thanks to tho speaker.

The next mee.ting will be held on 30th July at the home of l\1r. and Mrs. ohen, :\Ianderley, c/o A,·enue de Mi t and l\Iiln r Road, Rondebosch.
