Edna May Oliver in "We're Kich Again"
Despite the fact that last week's weather left much to be desired, the girls one and all enjoyed their holiday thoroughly.
By the time this week's Bulletin reaches you, fifty-seven boys will have taken their place. We trust the weather man will be kinder to them.
The big red-letter day for the girls took place .on Sunday last, when the Counicil had '^Open Day" at Copper Gove for parents. Council members and friends.
Though a downpour did mar the festivities a little the rain was kind enough to wait until late afternoon, so that the special unusual and delightful programme arranged by Miss Herbert and her assistants were able to be preented in all its excellence.
Using the tennis court for an improvised theatre, a musical extravaganza (with screen and all) entitled "Story Book Ball" was presented by the young girls, in cleverly designed costumes by a chorus of eight older girls. Many nursery-book rhymes were thus displayed, 'each being represented by a solo dance, with the chorus singing the verse illustrating the character portrayed.
Great, praise is due to Miss Herbert, and to the young artists, for accomplishing so much with so little in the way of properties. The audience waj most enthusiastic.
Odd, amusing and novel games followed. Did yoii ever try to feed a bowl, full of bread and milk, when blindfolded, to a partner seated opposite you? Did you ever try to make speed in chewing a prune off a string or eat crackers with your hands tied behind your back? All these, and many more equally comical ones were tried and the winning group (for all games are played in that manner) was presented with bags of Karmel-Krisp, which, they, like good sports shared with the others.
Handicraft work was on display, and all visitors were amazed at the lovely, fringed, gaily colored shopping bags, the clever scrap-books, the bright chintz pot holders and other novelties that the girls had been taught to make.
A special supper, consisting of weiners, salads, watermelon and cake was the gift of the Council, and many mothers very thoughtfully surprised the young campers by bringing fruit, cookies, baigel, kiohlach, and homemade goodies also.
One and all voted the Council visiting day a huge success 1
Next week we will tell you about the boys.
They, too, will have a Friday night service and visits from the young men's group.
We know you will be Interested in their doings also, and we wish for them, warm sunny weather the whole two weeks III

An Old Synagogue
To Hitler, Jews in Germany may be newcomers and strangers, but to those who have read or studied, Jews are as old residents in Germany as the present Germans.
In Worms there is a synagogue built 900 years ago, and there is evidence to show that Jews lived there 1400 years ago.
The Worms synagogue has many interesting legends and customs associated with it.
One of the streets about the Synagogue is called the Street of Reb Yehudah Hochossid. The story goes that the mother of the famous Reb Yehudah was once going along that very narrow street when suddenly a rapidly driven carriage was about to run over her. But she was bearing within her the son who she knew was later to become a light in Israel. She despairingly called on God to save her child, and a miracle occurred. The wall of the synagogue suddenly bent inward and made room for her to escape the carriage. The street is therefore called after the famous scholar.
Another very interesting story in the Synagogue deals with the so-called "Eternal Light of tlie Two Guests." Hundreds of years ago a Christian religious procession was making its way through the Ghetto when someone raised the cry that a Jew had desecrated the Holy image.
The Christian authorities gave the Jewish community till after Passover to give up the guilty persons. One can easily imagine the kind of Passover that the Worms Jews spent that year. No one knew who desecrated the images, or even whether anyone had done it or not. Yet, unless someone was turned over to the authorities, great persecution would come upon the community.
On the last day of Passover two strange Jews entered the ghetto but were advised to leave, lest they, too, share in the horrors that would come upon the ghetto. The strangers not only refused to flee, but said that they came for that very reason. They were the ones who desecrated the images. They went out and surrendered to the Christian authorities and were promptly executed.
In memory of these martyrs the Jews of Worms keep two lights burning all the time in the synagogue and on the last day of Passover they say the prayers for the dead in their honor.

THE SEFER TORAH
Another interesting object in the synagogue is the Sefer Torah (the scroll) from Rothenburg. The story goes that the famous rabbi of Rothen-
Bialik Memorial
Preparations are still being made for the Bialik Memorial by the Zionist Council. The return of Rabbi Cass probably ensures his participation in
the grandiose event, and ensures a more successful affair than most cities have been able to organize.
Two thousand Polish Jews are going to settle In Palestine, before the High Holidays.
burg wanted to send the Congregation of Worms a gift of a scroll. He put it in a boat that reached Worms without human guidance, and that \voctId not be stopped by Gentile boatmen, but only by Jews.
The cook-and-mistress joke humanized :
Mistress: "Kate, if a woman more intelligent and better looking than you should attract your husband away, what would you do?"
Kate: "Well, she might be more intelligent, but she wouldn't be better lookin' when I got through with her."
