Cohen At the recent Eighty-First Annual Convention of the Provincial Association of Protestant Teachers, which met at Montreal High School, the Canadian Jewish Congress Public Relations Office presented an exhibit dealing with in-tercultural relations and methods of combatting race prejudice. The exhibit was featured along with publishers' stands suggesting books for home reading, and supplementary and required school texts. Beside it, in appropriately good company, was a niche for the Christian Science Monitor, known as one of the most honest and straightforward of all daily papers. There were displays showing visual education methods and supplies, with the newest trends in that way of teaching; and mimeographing and duplicating systems were offered for inspection. There is a changing pattern in imparting the techniques of civilization to both teachers and pupils. The books offered by publishers at the convention have been overhauled in the last few years, and they are finally catching up on the cultural lag between ideas, which forge ahead, and their slow inclusion into the permanent culture of society. The history books, for instance, have finally come to the point where they depict the pageantry and. romance of the past, and forecast through it what the future should be. The comparatively new link between home and school was emphasized by the number of books of all publishers directed to the parents in cooperation with teachers, not just for the teachers alone. This was brought forward even more directly by the placards on tooth decay and how to brush teeth regularly; and the books for parents on sex education of children. Since the school child, even the youngest one, comes to school with acquired prejudices afiH"Babitir~of"'~ behaviour, the hope of eradicating prejudice from a society lies in the schools, because the school class is an organized group, easier to reach than the home of each individual child. In many cases, too, it is the teacher, rather than the parents, who is more equipped to help the child, at each age and mind level, to think rationally, to pick out and recognize what is logical, what is right, and what is wrong. The Bureau For Intercultural Education, organized for "understanding, co-operation, and unity among the cultural groups in America"; the Council Against Intolerance In America; the Common Council For American Unity; the Public Affairs Committee; and the National Conference Of Christians And Jews, all in the United States, function actively, through pamphlets, books, and speakers, to assist teachers and parents in coordinating book-learning with living. On display at the Canadian Jewish Congress exhibit were a few Jack, Harry, Moe., of Montreal; Craftsman Samuel Sailer (overseas); Sgt. Arthur Sailer (overseas); eight grandchildren, Rose and Selma Orenstein, David, Sydney, Harry, and Dorothy Medicoff, Arlene and Rosylind Sailer; and two sisters, Mrs. Hilda Aranoff and Mrs. Toba Greenberg, both of Montreal. Funeral took place from Paperraan's, Rabbi L. Syrek officiating. Burial was in Hebrew Protective cemetery. Shiva was at the home of his daughter, Mrs. H. Orenstein, 5434 Esplanade Avenue. Mrs. Sophie Crystal Mitchell, aged forty-one, died on September 25, at the Royal Victoria Hospital, after a lengthy illness. She is survived by her husband, Max Mitchell; five daughters, Rate, Jeanne, Annie, Elsie, Toba; two sons, Harry and Moees; her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Crystal; one brother, Jack Crystal; and two sisters, Mrs. Jack Title (Jeanne), and Mrs. Phil. Dankner (Anne). Funeral Uok place from Paperman's, Rabbi C. Denburg officiating. Burial was in Sbomrim Labokar cemetery. The Polish government has asked its Paris consulate to investigate the reasons why Polish Jews in Bergen-Belsen, Dachau and Bu-chenwald have declared themselves stateless and refuse to return to Poland. of their books and pamphlets; reprints of articles from other sources, too; some to suggest their inclusion in school programs, and some were to be taken home and thought over, as a present. Public Affairs Pamphlet, number eighty-five, "The Races Of Mankind", by Ruth Benedict and Gene Weltfish, formed the predominant arrangement. Presented to show that the peoples of the earth are all one family, the booklet is illustrated graphically with pictures, of which two blown-up examples were placed over the exhibit. Tied in with it was the offer of a short movie-sequence, with more of these pictures, and a running commentary, in comic-strip form to drive the point home more easily to adolescents. Lined up with this are books like "Probing Our Prejudices", by Hortense Pow-dermaker, which is to be a topic of discussion on th$ Citizens' Forum radio program this winter. There were some of the booklets put out by Warner Brothers to reiterate the message of their movie short, "It Happened In Springfield", outlining the method of the Springfield Plan, which coordinates almost all the subjects of its school curriculum with home and school, both, in the effect to direct a free, independent, thinking society. To supplement its display, there were take-home catalogues listing the publications of the Bureau For Intercultural Education; reprints on tht "Jews In Canada", from the yearbook of the Canadian Jewish Congress and of an article by Philip Wylie, in the American Mercury of January, 1945, "Memorandum On Anti-Semitism". Mr. Wylie describes himself as a "sixth-and-seventh generation Scotch - Irish - Presbyterian -American", and writes that "America's little red school house sever taught the similarities of people. It concentrated on their differences". In driving that point home, he knows that the ascendance of scapegoat mentality in a society and the rise of its pressure on minority groups is a sharp indication of social unrest and onrush-ing social disorganization. It happens every time. In countries like the United States and Canada, where the existence of a well-ordered society is absolutely dependent on maintaining the balance between racio-religious factions, understanding of group relationships has to be made a focal point of education. To accomplish this, the Bureau For Intercultural Education, and the Council Against Intolerance In America, provide books, discussions projects, and visual equipment to help teachers translate the ideas of inter-group amity and civic responsibility to their pupils. The Common Council For American Unity, which began as a Jewish syndicated news service, and then branched out to work for all minority groups, publishes quarterly "Common Ground", in an effort to develop respect for them. The Canadian Jewish Congress has arranged to place one hundred and fifty copies of "One God", by Florence Mary Fitch, a professor at Oberlin College, Ohio, showing and comparing the Protestant, Catholic and Jewish religions, in libraries of Protestant schools in Quebec, through the request of the Quebec Protestant Board of School Commissioners; in Saskatchewan, the C.C.F. government arranged to distribute the Public Affairs pamphlet "The Races Of Mankind", to teachers through that province; and at the National Convention Of Canadian Teachers, to be held shortly in Vancouver, there will be an exhibit similar to the recent one in Montreal. The practical work of the Congress in the field of race relations has shswn accomplishment. Through its work, it is helping to tear down some of the established, uninformed, sinister concepts of prejudice, and to replace them with the educated patterns of thought which have come to symbolize the unbiased contemporary community.

Complete "March Of Time Film Of Palestine Jean Pages, director-reporter, and Robert Novarra, cameraman, who spent six months in Palestine making a documentary for "March of Time" have completed their work. The 32,000 feet of film exposed in Palestine were shipped to their New York headquarters to be edited into a regular issue of "March of Time". The final version will consist of about 2,000 feet and will run 20 minutes. Mr. Pages worked independently but in close cooperation with local authorities. "My work was absolutely objective," Mr. Pages told the Palestine Post, "political bias never entered the picture. Travelling through the country, we filmed what we thought of interest. It was pretty strenuous, but we hope to present a true and impartial picture. 'The human angle was our main objective, the recording of the tremendous efforts to renew this ancient soil. I am French, though in American uniform, so you won't be surprised if, in this connection I often recalled LaFontaine's fable, the one of the dying man who told his sons that he had left them a treasure buried behind the house. They dug and dug without result. But later the barren soil bore fruit far the first time. "We started right st the beginning. We visited young pioneers 'at the edge of beyond' whose incredibly hard work has already borne fruit; we visited fertile places which, ten years ago, were malaria-infested swamps. We recorded the selfless work of Dr. Bimbaum in the Hnleh taking care of sick Jews and Arabs�and I. saw (and so- did Novarro's camera) how Arab women embraced this quiet yeong chap looking st him with worshipful eyes. "We filmed Arab and Jewish life, industries, schools, the Rut-enberg Power Stations and diamond factories; we were present at the High Commissioner's reception for the Patriarch Atexei; we photographed the Jordan, and Pnina Salzmann and Michael Taube. The most exciting event was the arrival of a refugee ship-in Haifa . . . those scenes are burnt into my memory. "Occasionally, typical scene* which we were keen to capture; did not materialize at the psychological moment. When that happened both Arabs and Jaws invariably did their best to help us out," Services Held On Train The traditional melodies of Rosh Hashana services emanated from a troop train as it was speeding from Fort Dix to California, carrying European veterans of the famous 305 Signal Corps battalion to Camp Cooke for reassignment. There were 75 Jewish men on that train whose non-Jewish buddies had vacated one of the coaches snd helped to convert it into a temporary mobile synagogue. With CapL Harry Nelson, Assistant Post Chaplain at Fort Dix officiating, the men held full-fledged Roan Hsshonah services and afterwards sat down to a JWB-supplied "Yom-tef meal complete with chicken, gefillte fish, chalah, wine and salami. The men on the train had just completed 30-day furloughs after returning from Europe. They bad to repert back to Dix for reassignment on Rosh Hashonah eve. Chaplain Nelson tried to get them an extension so as to enable them to spend the Holy Days with their families, but it would have held up the entire shipment and therefore could not to done. The boys were very, disappointed at the t*Wht of haVtn* to soend the New Tear riding on a train until Chaplain Nelson hit on the idea of organising the "speed-ing synagogue." He travelled with them to St, Louis and when he got off there left in his stead em of their men whom be had coeahed sufficiently to hold Sunday.
