nan, .:\Ir. J. Dwolatzk and l\fr. A. :M. ::\folamet c sed a meeting of the Paarl Hebrew Co)1-

< ation in the Talmud Torah Hall. l\fr. B.

ti k · presided.

1 njor Derman discussed the position of the ex- i ·eman in relation to the community. He h:isised that financial assistance was not a plete discha1ge of the community's obligation"' the ex-volunteer. Money alone could never 1mpense the returned c;;er~iceman for the sacri-

he had made, for th y ars and opportuniti s ad missed. If ex-servicemen's grievances were to become so ma sive as to threaten social and tical stability, the ex-serviceman must be made eel that his efforts ·were appreciated and that was welcome back. He should not l:ie allowed

rel that he had been a "sucker."

Ir. Dwolatzky dealt in detail with the work

11 by the War Appeal and the Board. He gave .i1ples of the kind of assistance that it has i possible to send from South Africa to Enro- n Jewry and described the position in regard

inunigration aud naturalisation of "enemy n · " He gave details and statistic with regar<l he number of discharged soldiers who had been

wd to become rehabilitated.

r. Melamet analysed the forces whi ·h bring ut economic and social change and ·howed how e are reflected in political reorientations and :ignments. In the long run the economic factor of primary importance. In the immediate

ll'P, however, the st:ruggle would be on a. purely

itical level and the victory would go to superior nisation and propaganda. Every individual t be made to feel his re pon ·ibility.

The Rev. B. Melamed welcomed the speak r:

J expressed his confidence that the Board wa$

hing closely dfl elopments in Pal stine.

11 calling upo1~ Mr. 8. Myers to propose a vot(·

thanks to the speakers, )fr. Volks said that heroism of J wish youth in Pale tine was a issance of that spirit of st'lf-seerifice which nifested itself i11 Biblical times. .Tews wen' oundly dissatisfied with the British Govern- t's at~itud , but 1etained their faith that .:mately British public opinion would see that

ice was done.

Ir. Myers assured the speakers of the readines he Paarl J wish Community to ro-operai;e with

Wynberg Hebl'ew Congregation.

The Annual G neral ~t ting of th Wyuberg Hebrew Congregation took pla('O on Suuday, 25th November. A largo gathering was present. The outgoing 'hairman, .Mr. A . .M. ::\latz and the Vice-Chairman and Tr asurer, Mr. S.

l\l.

^Kapla1.1,

gave a comprehensive ieport of the year's aetivi- ties. An animat d discussion followed on some items on 'the ager<la and general comrnuual matters, '"her in a great number of members pr sent participated.

One of the far-sighted an<l outstanding re ·olu- tions adopted 1111a11imou.·ly by the me •ting wa · the '' Recommendation by 1 he Hebrew 'chool Com- mittee that a minimum standard of Hebrew know- ledge, b sides the '~iaftir,' as required by the Jewish Board of Educat1011, or a minimum regular at'tendance of four years at the local Hebrew School, b imperative in ord0r to get authorisation to havo the Barmitzvah ceremony celcbrate<l at the Synagogue.''

This recommendation and resolution had tho enthusiastic and full support of the principal and t ach rs of th local Hehr •w School and is to become effective in two years' time from the date of officia 1 notification to mem b rs of th com- munity by the local Hebr~w School Committee.

As the object of the r<'. olution i: to raise the standard of Hebrew education and to remove the farcical practice of Jewish confirmations by mer ly reading ")faftir" or a Portion of the Law parrot- like and in total ignorn11ce of matters Jewish, the Wynborg H brew Congregation appeal and r qn 'st all other si t 'r congr ga tions and the .Jewish Board of Education to mak ^CV' ry n<leavour, with a view to having similar re olutions adopt

u.

so that the scheme, which is of national significarn·P, beeomes effective and bPneficial to all; otherwi. e it will remain an isohttPd mo\·e in th · right <lirec·- tion.

The outgoing Chairn1an aud \ i ·o-( hainnan thanked ~h' 'ommit..tl'I' and official, for their devoted s •rvices during tlm . '('HI'. 1 peC'ial trilrntP was paid to the ^llll1lllber, of the 'hevrah Kacldishn for the noble 11en·ices thPY have rt.'uderecl.

~Iis C. Lampen on "The Woman in the l\Iod ru H brew Literature"' was given at the Zionist Hall on Monday uig11t. l\Ir. Z. Avin was in th' chair.

Miss Lampen dealt with the work of Dvorah Baron, a writer who e portrayal of village life has placed her iu the front rank of women writers, Although an invalid herself and incapable of physi- cal activity, she yet describes the life of the people in the village with deep incerity and psychologi- cal insight. 'he has produced a whole gallery of portraits and her stories show how deeply rooted she is in tlie Tishuv and how profoundly slw understands aH thC' yearnings and aspirations of the people.

Miss Lampeu al. o d •alt bnefl.v with writ •rs of children's literature such as El1a Vilonsky, Sara Levy, Miriam Gordon and others, and read extracts illu trative of th ir work.
