Peretz School to Begin Fourth Year With Large Staff
With vacation season nearing its end, thoughts of sending our children back to school begin to enter our minds. The Vancouver Peretz School is beginning its lourth year with a larger staff.
We live in modern, progressive times, where great . changes, materially, culturally and socially have, and are taking place. Education and methods of education . too, are carried along in this stream of new ideas and new trends.
Too, with the background we have, and what people have a finer, or nobler, or richer background, we try to mould our educational standards to combine the old and the new. Our schiool of Jewish learning has been based on modern teaching and educational methods.
Our aim is to turn out a fine type of young Jewish n:^n and women so vitally needed in Jewish life to take an integral part in the life of the Jewish people.
Our objectives are to teach the Jewish children of our classes, the history of the Jewish people, a feeling of national pride through a knowledge of Jewish culture and tradition. Our school strives to convey to the child the treasures of Jewish culture so vast and so rich, to understand its meaning and import, and what is most vital, to preserve and perpetuate it.
We recognize that our children are Canadians and as such we recognize that children must, at an early age, be made aware of, and subsequently practise the principles of a free and democratic-land, for that is theu: natural birthright. That :is, to give our children that type of upbringing that they should understand that democracy is the cornerstone of the unity of the people. It must be preserved, carried on and enlarged upon; that all should benefit and that it must be protected and cherished against those who seek to destroy ■it. .. ■ ■ V ■
Education tends to the betterment of the world, and Jews of all countries have done their share in that direction, as a nation is judged by its deeds and contributions which have been accepted by the world.
So let us not lag behind. No obstacle was too difficult for our grandfathers and great grandfathers to overcome. Therefore, we must put our shoulder to the wheel and keep it rolling.
Watch for further School announcements.

The display consistied of citric oils and acids, also concentrated orange; lemon and grapefruit juices for use by candy-makers, soft drink manufacturers, and bakeries.

TOO MANY LAWYERS
There is little doubt that in*" a very short time British Col-imibia will have far too many practising lawyers.
The cause is obvious: an enormous increase in recient years in law students (chiefly veterans) enrolled at UBC, gaining their. legal training in an overcrowded faculty, and then being admitted to the practice of law.
reading, appear to be a rather cumbersome title, but there is nothmg ponderous or unwieldy in the organization itself, which comprises all eleven manufacturers of concentrates in Israel.
In a brief but businesslike interview. Mr. Joseph Bajarano, chairman of the association, and Mr. D. Marcus, the secretary, revealed: a most interesting fact. The 11 members not only pooled their technical and business knowledge^ but set up a research laboratory at Rehovot , jointly, for the general benefit ofrthe trade.
PLAN JOINT DELEGATION
But the revolutionary development was overshadowed by the unanimous approach now being made to world markets. No longer does Mr: A. send his agent out to Paris, in opien com-
the leading institutions, such as the Jewish agency,'- the Hebrew University, the Rehovbt Agricultural Research Station «nd the Standards Institute. Major H. G. Biggs, the acting commissioner for Commerce and Industry has accepted chairmanship of ;the board, which includes Professor Ingram of the Low Temperance Research Station at Cambridge.
The British Ministry of Food has taken a great interest in the development of the industry, and has contracted ■ for large quantities of concentrated juices for a number of years. In the past three years Palestinian concentrates have improved to such an extent that they are now in no way inferior to American manufacturers.

In their radiogram to Maurice Eisgyer,; national secretary, both Justice Frumkin and Mr. Eliash reported that the Arab attacks had scored direct hits on the home, causing considerable damage to the building and equipment. Fortunately, the

The B'nai B'rith ChUdren's Home for Maladjusted Childrsn was opened in 1943 with youngsters aged 7 to 14 years. They came from Europe as victims of Nazi persecution and required the attention of psychiatrists. They had lost their parents and families during the early war years.
Today there are about 40 children in the honue, support of which is one of the major projects of the Women's Supreme ■ Council of B'nai B'rith.
Jewish Agency Opposes ''Americans United for Israel''
NEW YORK.—(WNS)—Opposition to.the establishment of "Americans United for Israel" was. expriess-ed this week by the American section of the Jewish Agency in a letter to Abraham Feinberg, committee member of the new group and former president of "Americans for Hagsmah."
The formation of this new group was termed by the Agency "a flagrant defiance of the decison to dissolve Americans for Haganah," many of whose functions the new organization intends to absorb. "

NqtiQnd C of IJ.5. Indorses Truman's Stand on D.P/s
Endorsement of President Truman'.* announced intention of seeking Congressional action to rectify the injustices of the Wiley-Fellows Bill for Displaced Persons was expressed today (June 30) by Mrs. Joseph M. Welt of Detroit, president of the National Council of Jewish Women. ,
In a letter to the White House, Mrs. Welt approved the President's action in signing the measure with "great reluctance" because of its departure from this, country's, traditionally demo-icratic policy on immigration. She supported his signature to the bill, however, as providing at least some immediate benefit to the displaced .persons. \, "The possibility for corrective Congressional action," Mrs. Welt asserted, "offers a note of encouragement both to the thousands of :displaced persons excluded by the Wiley-Fellows Bill and to the Americans of all faiths and origins who have hoped that the United States might offer a generous haven to the victims of the war." , Mrs. Welt concurred entirely with the President's denunciation of the cruelly discriminatory measures against Catholics and Jews which, as he declared, are based upon the "abhorrent grounds of intolerance." She termed the legislation a "bill of exclusion rather than admission which represents a, triumph for the forces of bigotry in this country."
Expressing the fervent hope that the next session of Congress will correct the evils of the bill, Mrs. Welt maintained that an equitable policy for the admission of displaced persons must conform to the United States' which is based upon national traditional immigration policy, origin, rather than upon religions and skills.
"The admission of -displaced persons on an equitable basis would be in keeping )With America's role of leadership in the world today," Mrs. Welt asserted. "Only through such a policy can we, as Americans, continue to feel a justifiable pride in the fulfillment of our historic tradition as a hope arid haven for the oppressed of other lands."
Beri, Frutarom, Priman and Mit-zaron; three settlement factories —Givat Brenner, AshdotYacoov and Givat Haim—and the, Hista-druth's Yakhin plant. That is a sufficiently varied mixture to indicate that the welfare of the trade as a whole is the main interest of the manufaeturer---next' of course, to his interest in turning out first-rate products.
The organizaion came into being in 1944^ when Mr. J. W. Seymour, a British Ministry of Food representative, pointedly told leading members of the iri^-dustry that the one way to im^ prove their products was to pool their knowledge and resourcesi Realizing the soundness of thei advice, the iridustry was not at all resentful, and set about the establishment of the Association,: / So the 11 major manufactHr-ers of concentrated fruit juices met together and disclosed theit trade secrets most publicly.

That led in turn.to the decision to establish the research; laboratory in Rehovot, opened last autumn under the direction of Mr. Braverman of Jaf-Ora, The laboratory has three departments — chemicb-analytical, microbiological, and engineering.
