A Social Afternoon for Women Workers
Successful Function at Langham Hotel T
HERE was a good attendance at a social afternoon for workersheld at the Langham Hotel last Tuesday aftern,oon, under the auspices of the Johannesburg Women's Zionist League. It was the last meeting of the League to be held this year, and it proved both an interesting and enjoyable function.
Mrs. A. Franks, who presided, urged all present to voice any cri- ticisms or suggestions for future work. A brisk discussion ensued, in which rep1 ese.ntatives from all branches took part, and many griev- ances and recommendations for the future conduct of the brnnches were thrashed out. l\frs. L. Joffe, the trea- surer, warned branch treasmers of the dangers of slach1ess in the keep- ing of their hooks, and h r remarks were ndors d IJoth hy th chair and by member of committ es of other branches.
Dr. D. Katzen spoke briefly on the Palestine section of the Liberty Cav- alcade, explaining its objects and urging all present to enrol them- selves as workers for it. She em- phasised, however, that no work should be done at the expense of the League, and her remarks were en- d6rsed by Mrs. Franks.
PALESTINE SECTION OF LIBERTY CAVALCADE Many Functions Planned
If careful planning and excellent organisation are any guarantee of success, the Palestine Section bids fair to be one of the outstanding achievements in the ambitious Liberty Cavalcade. Already many functions are being planned pre- liminary to the great week in May of next year, when it is hoped to be able to represent the Palestinian scene in a series of stalls and struc-
Presentations of tr es, both from the Hillbrow branch and from the Central Executive were made to Mrs. R. Melzer, Chairman of the Hillbrow branch, on the oc- casion of her departure for Cape- town. IJ:rs. Melzer expressed her thanks and appreciation.
After tea, two playlets, produced by Mrs. T. Yushlick, were given. The fir. t, a propaganda play on the cor-
r ct approach to variou tn> of wo- m n outside Zioni m, won ripples of appreciative laughter from an audi- ence only too experienced in that line of work. The second play dealt with
"A quiet day in the life of any Zionist President," and must have struck a responsive chord in the hearts of many present. Both plays were greatly enjoyed and warmly ap- plauded, and Mrs. Km;hlick was pre- sented with a small token of appreci- ation of her work.
