SPEEDING THE WORK
Enetgetlc^^^ m of the Jewish
Women's Red Gross Unit have raised enough money to buy two sewing machines to speed up their war work. They had two borrowed machines, but the amoimt of work to be done exceeded what they coiild manage on those, so the women went right after what they needed. They continue to bring lunch and spend theur Tuesdays at the Jewish Community Centre where work consists of everything from rolling bandages and making other Red Cross hospital supplies to knitting and home nursing classes.
The first course in home nursing started by the Jewish women last autumn has only four sessions to run, but a second course is already imder way. In addition, to bandaging, and hospital sewing, the members of the unit have knit theh-; way through some 25. pairs of socks and about 20 &weaters.
The Meriboias wound up their second series up at La Salle last Thursday morning with Pear! Herman's fast stepping maplecrashers finishing out in front by three full games over their nearest rivals the Le Foisn ag-^ gregation,whMiers of the first series.
Sue Iiechtzier turned in the outstanding individual performance of the season with her record-l?reakhig series of 700 and single game of 323, the former mark replacing that of 657 held by Pearl Herman, and - the latter bettering her own former mark of 280.
The following are the Individual averages, records and team standing tv date:

IDEALS
' /'Religion and democracy are based on the same ideaJs.:W religion -is threatened, democracy is doomed. Where democracy is destroyed, religion must die. That is history.
"There is no difference in the brand of dictators^NazI, Fascist or Communist. Air stand for regimentation of the people. All stand for hatred and intolerance and the setting up in the place of religion the reiflcation of persons and the furtherance of pag^anlsm.

A.ZJV. lost and regained the league leadership in the YMJElL "mxsA Pive-Pln League dviring the past fortnight, with foiu: weeks of tlie third series already terminated. Braver-man and Cohen are deadlocked in second position, just one game behind the leaders, and Lubin and Berman are tied in the third slot.
The outstanding feature Of the past two weeks was the sensational trundling of Sally Barret when she himg up two season records with a brilliant series of 664 which included a snappy 316 coimt. These marks replace those established earlier in the season by Betty Jampolsky of 641 and 283 respectively.
Other scores worthy of note were Al Mackoff 647 (251, 229); Percy Berkson; 647 (208, 217, 222); and Harry Levinson, 645 (240, 286). The following week, Morrie Rothstein, 677 (212, 214, 232); Al Miller, 631 (229, 239); Henry Feldman, 601 (237); Har^ jy Levhison (278); Dave Levi (232). For the ladies,-Cookie Kalensky was high wilh 500 (201).

Council of Jewish Juniors
Hello, again, members and would-be members, Jiere we, are with another issue of the Bulletin.
OnTuesday, Januaiy 23rd, a number of Jr. CoimcU members, viz., the Study Group, spent an exceedingly educational evening at Zara Goldberg's home. FoUowhig Bible Study and the reading of an interest hig extract from Louis Gelding's ^'The Jewish Problem," the discussion became general and took in many of the latest boos and current events. The next Study Group is to be at Lottie Levinson's new home—1720 Charles St., Wednesday, February 7th. Girls, you really should get in this Group. We get through a great deal of interesting material every time we meet!
Monday night, January 29th, the Red Cross Group met to continue its worthy work. Miss Nancy Brail has work for all and it is work that is necessary, so turn put girls. This Group meets alternate "Tuesdays, usually, to that of the Study Group.
Tuesday evening was our first general meeting of the New Year and we were happy to welcome several new members. But possibly that grand membership party we had about three weeks ago was the reason. That was a real-spaghetti dinner, Mre. Brown!
We were delighted to have with us Mr. Nicholson of the John Howard Society. Mrs. Nicholson told us of the great work done by this Society Id finding homes and employment for hose unfortunates who leave prison co start their life anew.
The Dramatic Group presented a play under the able direction of Miss Vetta Homstein entitled "Salvage" the competent cast consisting of the Misses Marion Arenson, Joey Baiun-jart and little Helen Hammer.
Come ori girls; join in and who knows, maybe we have a Duse or; a Bernhardt in our midst and this may oe your opportuiiity to blossom forQi.
Following adjournment of the meeting, the social hoiu" was spent dlis-cussing the exciting business of oiu-coming Valentine Dance, on Februajry i4th, Valentine INght at the White Rose Ballroom and we are all going to be there—are you?

VALUABLE
"I think that anything which will teach people to think and listen to what other persons say, and do it in an open-minded way, is valuable in a democracy." . . ,- ' '—Mrs. Sileanor Boosevelt.
NO SURRENDER
"At the present time the does not seem to be safe for small peoples, and weakness itself is regarded as a crime punishable by death. Yet we as Jews and as hii-man beings cannot and will not accept the status of outcasts or of miserable wanderers to be herded into barbed-wire encampments or driven into the fringes of life in No^ Man's-Land. It is not enough that those bx'ave and nameless thousands of Jews in the distress areas are grimly struggling to preserve their faith. We, here, must yield to thg fatal admission that the Jew wears only the badge of a refugee, for in that negative defeatest .outlook lies the triumph of our oppressors and the disintegration of our entire existence as a people."
. —:Dr.. Chaiui "^Weizman,' DISCUSSIONS \ "What we ought to do more and more is to assemble non-like-minded people in discussion groups and let them try their opinions in the purifying furnace of open and vigorous debate.   A great force for good isf growing up all through the country and Town Hall and organizations like it have the chance of a life-f time in helping citizens everywher^ to inform themselves to the point: where we can keep our ship of state on an even keel." —George V.

YOUNG ISRAEL
The Young Israel will close its Membership Campaign at the next meeting' of the group; to be held at the Centre on February 11 at 6:15 pm.' This is definitely the last call to prospective members!
The last meeting of the group was very interesting. Mr. Schreiner, our Advisor, gave a brief talk on the life and works of Rashi, the noted Bible Commentator of the eleventh centuiy, whose 900th anniversary will be celebrated by Jews the world over this year. The details concerning his life and works will be presented at our next meeting.
We believe that our group offers a varied and all-embracing program (social, educational and recreational) which will appeal to all young men between 14 and 17. Our work does not conflict with any youth organization in tov/n, and offers a pro-g:ram different from other groups. We welcome young men who are not affiliated with any Jewish youth group and also those who are.
We wish to thank the Talmud Tor-ah Ladies' Aindliiary for the Kiddish which is served by them every Sabbath following the services in the Talmud Torah Hall, Heatley and Pender. Mrs. Weinstein is Chair-lady of the Kiddush Committee.
Don't forget next meeting at Centre, Feb. 11 at 6:15. We expect a big turnout.
render of private judgment; there is no suppression of outside contacts,' and.'there v is no sinister coercion by secret police, and admittedly that increases the difficulty of any goyernment in the time of preparation and planning. But when trouble comes the fact that the peo-pliB know and the people have approved invests the decision reached with the overwhelming force of free judgment and united will. And it is just that unity of moral purpose which Herr Hitler rates so low which will be, if I mistake not, the principal cause of his defeat." ; . —British Foreign Secretary Viscount Halifax.
SUBVERSIVE
•''ThjB common challenges of our day have shown that all both religious fellowships hold dear is in dkhger. The-Jew and the Christian seek to internationalize tolerance, humanity and sound learning. The dictatorships seek to internationalize intolerance, inhumanity -and tendentious propaganda. In their mad course they have proved that the .attack upon the Jews is followed by an attack upon Christians.
"Curiously enough, recent, developments in America have demonstrated that those who are willing to stoop to the slimy grutters ;of an-^ ti-Somitism are likewise determined to destroy a government which has upheld the doctrine of man's liberty

Vancouver Jewry will miss a familiar figure who has been active in a quiet, way in Ccmmimity affairs in the person of Mr. O. Klehifeld who left recently to make iiis home with members of his family in Chicago. Mr. Kleinfeld devoted much of- his time to Beth Israel Synagogue, especially in helptag to prepare for the services. He was a man of very fine character, a refined cultural gentleman of the old school. During his' years in Vahcouver, he made many friends, and on his departure was the recipient of numerous gifts which def noted the esteem and affection he was held by those whom he had come in contact with.
_ Mr. Kleinfeld will spend some time hi San Francisco with his son-to-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Levin, before proceeding to Chicago, where he will make his permanent home.
