JUDAEAN NEWS
Saskatoon (^peclai)—With Purim just around the corner (I cim see that Hamantash now) groups all oover the West are planning programs to celebrate this happy holiday.. Its amazing the joy that can found m wisldlng a Qi-ag-ger or stamping one's feet at uie drop <4 the word •Hfeunan'. And . what joy to be dressed as Queen E^er hersielf, or to feel ias Mordecai did when he saw the widced Haman receive his just ie\^rard for oruelty towards the Jewish People. Its amazing too, the niunber of Hamans both -big and small that have passed through history, yet there has always been a Jevyidi people.
Calgary is; /planning a neshef (concert) for March that will give the diaverim a very good chance to show their mettle. The Saskatoon Tsierim (juniors) ar ealso' rehearsing several playlets about Purim which they intend presenting early in March.
Earl Milner of Vegreville, Alta. writes that their dub, consisting of seven miembers, all boys, meets regularly every Sunday morning. He explains that tltis leaves the afternoon free for sports activities such as skating and the like. I^ch meeting consists of a very brief discussion of business, a thrashing out of the current events of the past week, and then an educational program which some chaver has prepared. The chaverim have been given the excellent privilege of vising th library of Mrs. Olyan, their adviser. Thus they are able to read, give reviews, and learn from each other.
The Beinoriim <intermediates) of Saskatoon have of late, taken part in certain activities. Along the sports and social Hne, both a tobogganing and bowling- party has been held, each foUowed by a gathering at one of the homes of a chavar. Then of course there was the meeting and Oneg Shab-bath which featured our field director Alec Bern-er, along with a more recent gathering to meet the very impressive and most interesting chalutz from Eretz

Somehow or other, one of these coltunns must have'-been lost-in a Saskatchewan saovr drift, thats probably the reason it didn't appear when scheduled. However; in the future, as long as the CNR keeps; runnmg, they'll keep appearing.
