Council Greetings
At this critical period in world af-fiFairs women the length and breadth of Canada must be asking themselves—how can I best serve. On behalf of Vancouver Section, Council of Jewish Women I would like to add one small, but large word to the traditional New Year greeting, which would then read, "a happy and useful New Year."
There will be large new avenues of work opened up to women's organizations in the season just ahead. Council of Jewish Women will wish to take its place in these needed activities and has already made contact with the Canadian Red Cross in order to learn what assistance we may offer. The large hospital sewing group will form a nucleous, it seems most likely, for a larger pro-
ducing group.
It is also our plan, in the coming year, to found a brides group for younger members and their friends which can co-operate in the work that may be needed.
Foremost in our program remains the care and upbringing of our two German children, whose maintain-ence and welfare is both a responsibility and a privilege for our Council group. It is our earnest hope that the community at large will continue to support our efforts in this direction.
In conclusion I would like to add that Council of Jewish Women looks forward to a year of closest co-operation with all Jewish groups. This is a time when we shall need each other more than ever—a time when unity, courage and high resolve must go hand in hand.

year 5700 have in store for us? Certainly the years which have preceded it, have not been distinguished by joy in Jewry. For prejudice has arisen where formerly philosophy held sway; democracy is challenged; justice, decency and truth are maligned; and hatred is the all-too-frequent password. Cruelty and a new paganism have afTlicted our brethren abroad. In their thousands they
are being driven from pillar to post, without refuge or canctuary. It is a situation which has no parallel even in the history of our people.
Particularly should be recognize and appreciate the significance of the fact that great numbers of our people reside under the protection of the British flag, and that the Empire itself is the staunchest bulwark of all liberal principles which are so vital to us; and finally, we should place our faith in the great moral and religious resources of our people which have stood us in good stead in the past.
"Fortified by the fullest appreciation of all these factors, we, who in this Dominion present a happy contrast to our smitten brethren abroad, must unremittingly continue our efforts so that the year 5700 may see the emergence of a Jewry united, dignified, and free from the tribulations which today beset us.
"I earnestly hope that the New Year will be one of joy and happiness for all of Israel."
SAMUEL BRONFMAN, President, Canadian Jewish Congress.
