SEASON'S GBEETINGS
This is tile one time of year when your correspondent "les affaires sport" smiles. He changes his sour puss expression temporarily for one beaming smile, slightly foolish, and looks at the world through rose colored glasses,, most of which haye been filled and refilled; Everything becomes lovey-dovey, as they are wont to say oh Delancey Street—may it continue so throughout 1940, especially for those "paragons of patience," our beloved readers.
Here's what a few of our Jewish athletes could use during the year, if 1940 will be so kindly!
HANK GREENBERG: Start swinging early this summer, Hankus Pan-kus. Those 58 homers you hit two seasons ago stamped you as the.closest thing to Babe Ruth since Babe Ruth. Regardless of where you play this season, Detroit or elsewhere, we're all pulling for you to beat that sixty mark.
MORRIE ARNOVICH: Best thing that could happen in 1940 would be a trade that would send you away from Philadelphia, preferably to Cincinnati. And may you "swing it" all simmier long, like you did during the first half of the 1939 season ... remember that .400 batting average?
MOE BERG: Boston Red Sox and Information Please wouldn't be the same without you. Stay as smart as you are and continue bringing credit to your people.
BILL BENSWANGER: Your Pittsburgh Pirates, now fortified with a "tough" manager in Frankie Prisch, should come back to life and cut a few capers in the National League. A pennant in 1940 isn't such a bad idea, eh?
HARRY GRABINER: As chief executive officer of the Chicago White Sox, what could be sweeter than a first division club, with some more of those capacity-filling night baseball games? We'll order It at once, chimi!
MILT GALATZER: There's nothing your pals would rather see than your remaining with Cincinnati throughout the season. Do you think you can arrange it?
PHIL WEINTRAUB: That heavy stick work you did for Minneapolis in the American Association entitles you to another big league crack. Here's hoping you get it.
BARNEY ROSS: Reports indicate you are burning to get back into boxing ... as a manager! Boxing can use you, so if you need a few thousand to swing that deal for Al Davis' contract, why just ring me up, pal!
DAVEY DAY: May you take that one big step from No. 1 challenger to champion this year. As No, 1 lightweight cliallenger, all you have to do is trim Lou Ambers, the champ. Well, what's holding you?
AL DAVIS and MILT ARON: As No. 5 and 8 challengers respectively, for the welterweight championship, you're both after a certain Massa Henry Armstrong. Here's hoping you both catch up with him—at the same

Notable Quotes of the Week
mssiON
"To reject eternal peace as an ab-siurdity and as something foreign to the creed or to the temperament of any people, is to proclaim one's self a barbarian and an enemy of all mankind. Physical force and terrorism cannot accomplish the high ends at which civilization aims, Intelligr ence, sound moral standards and the spirit of service can do so, always have done so and will continue to do so. It is for these that the one endr less war is to be imtiringly waged." —Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler.
WABNING
"Unavoidably war brings with it> suppression of freedom of action and of the free expression of thought, which are recovered with difficulty when peace is secured. Therefore we must not become involved in the war. We must not allow ourselves to become infected by the hatreds based on outworn prejudices that have been
The first public appearance of pupils of the Belva Plottel School of the Dance heralding the opening of the fall season took the fpnh of an informal Xmas day dance-recital and tea party in the spacious ballroom of the Quadra Club, Monday afternoon at half past two.
Prom tiny tots of two to versatile youngsters of fourteen, all demonstrated their amazing ability in various phases'of the dance. Tap-chorus, toe dance, acrobatics, comedy, interpretative songs and novelty, were a few varieties of the dance, so superbly managed by the Belva Plottel School of the Dance.
With an audience well a;pproaching two hundred, over fifty youngsters capably demonstra,ted their abilities gaily dressed in amazingly cute costumes designed by Miss Plottel.
Thie Krazy Kids Korus brought encore after encore while the Little Hawaiian Miss captured tlie hearts of every mother present. A delightful little tot, demurely dressed in an orange cellophane hula skirt she impressed everyone with her interpretative ability and stage matureness.
Much of the succ^ of the progratn can be laid to the capability of Miss Margareir Hutchcroft, pianist, and to genial ole Saint Nick who introduced each act and who cheerfully handled the weighty task of Xmas presents for each of the performers.
Thus the Belva Plottel School of the Dance in the Vancouver Community Playhouse at 627 Granville Street has another successful public appearance to Its credit.

time, just to make things interesting^.
MAXIE BERGER and MIKE KAPLAN : Two more welterweight contenders who are young and have plenty of time to woriy about cham-piojiships. May 1940 put you both in position to capitalize in 1941.
MAXIE BAER: No more comebacks, no more fights —just collect those annuities while you still have all yotu: marbles. '
MAXIE ROSENBLOOM: Hi! Scat-terbrain! Good luck!
MIKE JACOBS: No sign of help needed here; may you continue to dominate boxing as its No. 1 promoter as you have during the past 5 years.
SAM PIAN: Another Barney Ross wouldn't hurt, would it Pi (3.1416)? Maybe Zale will turn into a gale in 1940.
IRV SOHOENWALK and JACK BEGUN: The only fight promoters who run every week of the year; all your Marigold Garden needs is a few more weeks and we are taking up the matter with 1940 to see if he can't stretch matters a bit,
NATE DRUXMAN: Don't lose that firm grip on Al Hostak and 1940 will be good to you.
SID LUCKMAN: They v/ere calUng you one of the greatest quarterbacks in pro football during the past year . . . make it "The" greatest this year.
MARSHALL GOLDBERG: If 1940 will produce some big league blocking for you, you can prove that you're' still one of the greatest in the country.
"BUCKETS" GOLDENBERG: It took some people a long time to realize it, but now you're firmly entrenched as one of pro football's best guards. And here's wishing you and your Green Bay Packer mates as much luck in 1940 as they had in 1939.
BABE PATT: Cleveland cheered you to the rafters for your great play as end in pro football. May they cheer louder in 1940.
TO EVERYBODY: Happy New Year!
being wantonly destroyed by the irresponsive actions of dictators." DEVASTATION
"It's terrible to see twenty-five Catholic priests driven along the streets, forced to clean and sweep. It's terrible to see prominent rabbis with their beards half cut off. It's terrible to see little children forced to wear the arm bands describing them as Jews. It's terrible to, see 160,-000 Jews of Warsaw forced to move their quarters in the city from time to time, and to watch them being forced to drive out "the Christians to make room for their ghettoes."
—^Dr; Henryk Szoszkies, newly
appointed FoUsh consul at
Tel Aviv. WATCHWORD
"I can say without qualification that the watchword of the Jewish people is that Israel's mission is peace and that this holds true for all the scattered communities to which the Jewish people have been dispersed and are now, alas, being further dispersed with great brutality."
—^Dr. Cyrus Adler.
POSSIBILITIES
"The realization that technology and science have released possibilities hitherto imknown in human history, and that only prejudices, institutionalized, ancient habits, vested interests, inertia and complacency prevent the beginning of a new and infinitely more abundant epoch on a worldwide scale, is not isolated or the monopoly of any nation. The duty of society to recognize, with goods available, the claim of human beings on food, clothing and shelter, and their right of access to these things, is universal amongst all thoughtful people of whatever nationality."
—Dorothy Thompson, N.Y. Herald Tribune.

'twas the first time we have witnessed such a happening in all our Vancouver days and wot a revelation! Visitors to the party were Seattle's Al Kaplan, Lou Lavinthal, Morrey Shapiro, and June Shapiro (don't start gittin' any ideas now—they're jest friends and Seattle's a big place) . . .while we also noticed Frances Karasov of Spokane, dark, petite et tres f etchant a la nuite dans Paris, . . . Al Kaplan, Myrna Zivot, Dave Braverman, Betty Yotmg (Seattle's A.Z.A. Sweethearts—mmm), Max Osovsky arid S.

A! will be home shortly after New Year's. In town for the New Year festivities and fun 'The Canadian Way,' are Geo. Thai and Irf Riedman of Seattle, Stan Friedman, Bernie Brotman, Bob Hockfield. Rhoda Sussman, Les Sussman and thte Missus, all of Tacoma, while a host of parties dribbled along to the saturation pint (99%% overproof) at Myron Ablowitz's, Harry Levi's, Rita Feuerberg's and Len Korsch's. . . . While en route to one of these parties we fell in with a police prowler trailing two Swishy Scotsmen of the Kutie Kiltie Barracks who were emulating Msieu Lindberg of 1927 but jest cudn't keep out of the drink (methinks 'twas blackberry blue ocean and the third Jug at that, sich pipples!). . . . Enny-hoo we trailed said inebriates to ye doorstep of one Rita (mine Gold) Peuerberg and on peepin' thru the window we noticed the odd leg stick-in' out from under a chesterfield, the odd arm or two waving idly in the breeze (purely alcoholic) and an odd cluck hanging slightly too precariously from the old stand-by—the chandelier no less. . . .
