VANCOUVER, B.C., FRIDAY^ OCTOBER 27, 1939
CALLING ALL MEN! At a time like this, when half of Europe is under arms and on the march, and the other,half is mobilizing and deciding upon which side to jump, B'nai B'rith also issues a call to arms. We , also are calling men to the colors; we also are about to begin a major offensive, but ours shall be a peaceful purpose.
We are asking allJewish men to joia with us to carry on the ideals and purposes of B'nai B'rith. The work is great; the task is heavy; there is labor for all. We, too, are an army—an army of good; and we need new recruits to take up arms tor the common good and to join with us in waging battle against all subversive elements now at work.
Few organizations are more respected in Canada and U.S. than B'nai B'rith; few religious orders have accomplished more than B'nai B'rith; few societies have worked more ardently for the common good than B'nai B'rith—BUT TOO FEW BELONG TO B'NAI B'RITH.
: No Jew of adult age dare stand up in the face of the present emergency and give a reason why he should not become a member of this great organization. Many must flock to the standard. It will awaken the sleeping conscience of others who.have drifted away from as noble a cause as ever inspired our people.
We are in the midst of a national drive for membership. For the years 1939-40, we have been commandeered to produce an ^additional roster of 20,000; 7,000 out of District No. 4, and 69 from Vancouver.
Won't you do your share by adding to the membership roll at least one other pledge. Strength the bulwarks of B'nai B'rith so that it may go on in the critical year i^o :c6me and continue to accomplish the great work for which it is noted. -
BIASED UTTERANCES
Probably the most widely discussed subject relatin|r to the present World Crisis, was the unfortimate speech delivered by Col. Lindbergh. We say unfortunate, because it did not do any good, and on the other hand, it was the cause of much bitter ieel-ingj directed against the. speaker, personally. In some cases, the United States was also assailed. Speeches of this kind are detrimental to good relations between Democratic nations. These same nations are directing all their energies and facilities towards one undertaking—?EACE OVER ALL THE WORLD.
, Canada is.not influencing the United States to come into the conflict. The people of the United States are the only ones who have the right to say whether their country shall be at war. It is their privilege and theirs alone to make decisions which will '.p]iit4heir»men^n!^the^^ba^^fi®^4> No outdder^tiBis, anykj^ht^to^^ meddle with the tJnited States in this matter, and so far, nol)0(' lias:;done^so.;^ . ,..
We dislike to think that Col. Lindbergh has pro tendencies, but he is creating tha.t impression all over the world.
It would be well, before aiiydne made utterance of this type, to examine Canada's cause for entry into the war.
Canada, though not fighting for United States, is fighting United States' enemies. Canadians of every denomination, Protestant, Catholic, Jew—are fighting side by side, against the common enemy for the preservation of democracy, which of course means—^freedom of the people in everything, free speech, free press, religious liberty, and everything that is good and wholesome in life.
We know that the large majority of the people of the United States are behind us, and realize that, if the Allies were to go under, the Nazis would be out to conquer the world by every conceivable means in their power—and the United States alone, would be unable to stop them.

Gertrude Che$s Be(X)mes 3nae Of Irwin Mesier ati Beautiful Ceremony
Bridal pageantry of breath-taking beauty slowly trod the flbwer-marlced alsleway to the.wUte satjn canopied embrasure lU/tl^e/^^^ and IMrs. I. W; Chess's home, Saturday evening, when their eldest daughter, Gertrude, spoke her marriage vows with Mr. Irwin Mesher, son of Mrs. Mesherand the late Alex B; Mesher of Seattle. .
As clear and lovely as the opalescent glow of moonstones was tlie sheath' of liquid white satin creatliig'the wedding gown, the sculptured :bodice continuing in moulded lines over the hips with the fullness gathered at thebacX. in two-tiered bustle hows. The dairl^ fragile loveliness of the diminutive bride was further enhanced by the misty folds of her veil cascading from a stiffened halo of satin, and worn over her face dining the ceremony* Continuing the pristine white theme which also marked the floral decor throughout the house, was her exquisite bouquet of orchids and valley limes.
Mantilla Pink
A perfect foil for her brunette coP oring was the bridesmaid. Miss Lucille Joy Chess's mantilla pink velvet gown, the full skirt caught to the long bodice with the same shirring effect which marked the bracelet length sleeves. Massed ribbon bows formed a flower petal hat for the bridesmaid, who carried Johanna. Hill roses; cat-r tleya orchids and white > carnations as a striking contrast.
Rabbi Samuel Cass performed the wedding rites, and Mr. M. B. Mesher of Portland, was best man for his brother.
Both the bride and groom attended the University of Washington where she became affiliated with Alpha Ep-silon Phi. Saturday's bride received her preliminary education at York House School in Vancouver and the Annie Wright seminary in Tacoma.^ Black Velvet The svelte smartness of black velvet with the fashionable back interest was the choice of Mrs. Chess for her daughter's wedding, while Mrs. Mesher was a striking figure in black crepe with silver lame top. Both wore corsages of orchids; ; n ?
For the reception, Mrs. S. W. Chess, Mrs. M. B. Reifei, Marjorie Daven-r port and Betty Gosse and Mrs. Frazik Bernard had been asked to assist, .r Mr. Sam W. Chess proposed the toast to his neice.
—ll..H.,Marlow. MRS. IRWIN MESHER
Just a? slight militiary flair to/the cut of her Yukon gold velveteen itock-wom when leaving on her honeymoon was further emphasized by shining gold buttons marking the front of the bodice. The bride topped" her smart dress, worn with a-Milgrim draped model of. chocolate brown, and access-, ories of alligator and suede, with a matching gold-toned boat collared in lynx to which was pinned orchids
