Mollie Goldstick, which takes place on Sunday, October 18. Following the honeymoon the young
One of the most colorful, and enthusiastic gatherings that Vancouver has ever seen, was the First Annual CondTerence of the newly formed Vancouver Jewish Youth Federation.
Within the ranks of our local Jewish youth talent, leadership and) brilliance, was displayed in the planning, executing and proceedings of the Youth Conference.
The movement, that got its start last August, in the library of Rabbi
J. L. Zlotnik, budded last Saturday"->
and Sunday into a glowing and live organization, of 200 members.
The Conference officially opened at the Georgia Hotel, Aztec Ballroom, with the Convention Supper Dance at which some 200 young people were present.
On Simday morning, the first session of the Federation was held, opened by a Hebrew benediction by Rev. N. M. Pastinsky, and addressed by Rabbi Samuel Cass and Rabbi J. L. Zlotnik.
Mrs. Norman Brown, Editor of the Bulletin, then gave a paper on "Jews as We See Them," after which a live discussion took pl£u;e. Mr. Morris Bel-kin presided.
Devoted entirely to business, the afternoon sitting proved to be one of the highlights of the entire Conference. Close to 200 delegates filled the session room to capacity. Here, the official Constitution was gone over, voted upon and adopted, thereby incorporating the body and membership into what is now the Vancouver Jewish Youth Federation, Mr. Belkin presided.
Climaxing the afternoon's proceedings, elections of the officers of the Federation took place and Mr. David Lesser was chosen as first President of the Youth Federation. Nineteen others were selected to act on the Federation Board.
That evening the Centre was the focal point of a large gathering of Youth and their parents, assembled together in Banquet.
With Mr. Morris Belkin acting as toastmaster the banquet opened with Grace by Rev. N. M. Pastinsky.
A toast to Youth was then proposed by Mr. Norman Brown which was ably replied to by Mr. David Iiesser. Toast to the Community was given by Mr. David Freeman, responded to by Mr. Albert Koch. Miss Annette Smith then gave tribute to parents, to which Mrs. H. B. Kahn responded.
Mr. Harold Rome then gave a brief summary of the work the Federation had accomplished, and Mr. Ben Garber followed with a Summary in Yiddish.
Those gathered then heard brief addresses from Rabbi N. M. Pastinsky, Rabbi Samuel Gass, and Rabbi J. L. Zlotnik. All three pledged their unflinching support to the Youth Federation.
Mrs. Ida Seigel of Toronto, National Covmcil of Jewish Women field worker, who delivered an inspiring address on Youth, was guest of honor cf the affair.
NEW YORK (WNS)—Hailing the recent refusal of Arturo Toscanini, world-famous conductor, to permit any concerts directed by him at the Salzbiurg Festival in Austria to be broadcast to Germany, 76 members of the Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra and 900 other American musicians sent him an open letter of appreciation in the form of an engraved scroll. The leter reads as follows: "We, the imdersigned musicians, including members of aU the important musical organizations in New York, many of whom had the honor and privilege of playing under your direction, wish to thank you wholeheartedly for your recent stand against   broadcasting   your superb music to Nazi Germany as a protest against the Hitler goverrunent's bar-barious persecution of all that is genuine in art and culture. You have expressed the feelings of musicians all over the world."

_______^ ^ By Celia Freedman........
• Youngf Radio Executive
Acknowledged as one of Great Britain's rising yoimg radio executives in a field where women are not so readily accepted, Celia S. Cushion is one of the key executives of the British Broadcasting Company in England.
In 1927 she joined the staff of the radio station and soon advanced to her present job where she distributes radio time, handles publicity and billing. Her executive ability and general efficiency have become so valuable to her employers that when a special party came over to America on the Queen Mary's maiden voyage Miss Cushion was included. She has been credited with conceiving the idea of broadcasting from the Queen Mary to the United States.
Always alert for new ideas Celia Cushion found new York and its radio facilities of great interest. But slie wasn't interested in the commercial angle at all and believes that the British public would never allow such heavy commercial use of the radio.

MOUNT SCOPUS DISCUSSION GROUP PRESEiNTS PROSPECTUS
The Mount Scopus Group was formed in Vancouver two years ago by a body of yoimg Jewish men and women who felt that they were deficient in a knowledge of things Jewish. The principal aim in mind has invariably been the absorption of the Jewish perspective on topical problems of current interest, and the instilling within the minds of the members contact with, an interest in, and a love for, all forms of Jewish culture.
Our objective is attained by members taking part in discussions at meetings and by their preparation and delivery of papers at meetings.
Prospective members will be interested in learning that, included in cur membership are Rabbi Cass and Rabbi Zlotnik who have consistently maintained a fervent interest in the welfare of the group.
Present plans call for eleven meetings during the 1936-7 season, held at three-week intervals. Publicity apropos subject and date of the first meeting of the current season will appear in the next issue of the Bulletin.
All those who are interested in becoming members of the Mount Scopus group are asked to kindly contact Charlie Davis at Fair. 799-Y.
