A Friend Indeed!
Jake came to his friend Moe and asked him to sign a note,
"Moe," he said, "I've been to the -bank-to borrow-some money, and they said that they would give me all I need provided you would sign this note. Isn't that fine of them?"
"Jake," cried Moe reproachfully, "aren't you ashamed of yourself? Why do you go to a bank when you need money? You and I have been friends for years; why didn't you come to me? Now, listen; you go back to the bank and tell them to sign the note, and then I'll lend you the money!"

Saltzman Wins Trophy
Percy Saltzman of the Young Judaea won the Abe Rothstein silver trophy for oratory at the final competition in the Centre on Tuesday evening. The final contestants were six and included besides the winner, Mr. David Fouks, Miss Gertie Fouks, Mr. Harold Rome, Miss Sophie Shaffer and Mr. Leon Cook. Mr. Harry Katznelson, who was also to have competed, could not be present because of his absence from the city,
Mr, David Fouks, spoke on "Zionism" and his address was fresh in idiom, intelligent and broad in conception, intellectual in appeal and mature in composition.
Miss Sophie Shaffer spoke on "Why a Jewish Anti-Fascist organization?" and was sincere in her presentation.
Mr. Harold Rome, who spoke on "Assimilation" was powerful in his appeal, reasoned and emotional in effect, yet cool and careful in his bearing and composition.
Miss Gertie Fouks took as her subject "The Wandering Jew" and was unstudiously charming in her presentation, though her address was petal-led in detail and catholic in range.
Percy Saltzman spoke on "Fascism and the Jew" and his appeal was humorous and erudite. There was life in his presentation that was lacking in the other speeches.
Leon Cook spoke on "A National Tragedy" and was very clear.
The judges were Rabbi J. Swartz, Norman Brown and Dr. W. Morris.
In the intermissions the Mozart trio rendered musical numbers that were almost orchestral in their perfection.
The evening as a whole showed a very Jewish Y'oung Judaea, informed, spirited, refined, a pride to the community, and an achievement for their officers. The members can well feel that they bear promise, and that their presence is an encouragement to Zionists of all brands.
Mrs. Aser Rothstein presided.
B. B. Auxiliary News
On Tuesday, July 3rd, in the Oval Room of the Hotel Vancouver, at a cultural meeting of the Women's Auxiliary of B'nai B'rith, the Vancouver chapter of B, B, Junior Auxiliary was formally instituted.
The group, comprising seventeen girls was presented to the audience, and initiated by Installing Officers, Mrs. Adele Fried, Mrs. Birdie Stodel and Mrs. Rose Bertram. After the initial ceremony, the executive was installed, and a charter was presented to the group. Miss Roseline Weston, the newly-elected president, was presented with the gavel by Mrs. Fried, who then wished the organization success. Miss Weston addressed the assembly with a few well-chosen words in which she expressed her thanks to the members of the Junior Auxiliary for the honour they had bestowed upon her in making her president, and, on behalf on the group, she thanked Mrs. Charles Swartz, for accepting the position of Senior Advisor.
She also echoed the wish of Mrs. Fried, namely, that the organization succeed in all its future undertak-ngs. Miss Madeline Bertram, district grand president of the Junior Auxiliary, then gave a short address in which she welcomed the chapter into the Order in behalf of the sister chapters in Canada and U.S.
A meeting was held at the home of Miss Rose Weston on Monday, July 9, at which Miss Madeline Bertram outlined the program of the Junior Auxiliary.
The next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Charles Swartz on Monday, the 16th. All members are urged to attend, as this is a very important meeting.
BRiS5
On Monday there took place at the Vancouver General Hospital the briss of the son of Mr. and Mrs. H. Freeman of Vancouver. Among out-of-town visitors who came for the event were the great-grandparents of the child, Mr. and Mrs. E. Freeman of Seattle (late of Vancouver), Mr. and Mrs. Abraham Freeman and Mrs. Pin-cus and daughter, also of Seattle. The great grandfather was sandeck at the Briss, and it is remarkable that the godmother to the child was also godmother to the father of the child.
Rev. N. Pastinsky officiated and was aided by his brother S. Pastinsky of Yorkton, Sask. The child was named Aser (Lawrence Arthur).
Nathan Rothstein
Nathan Rothstein, son of Mr. and Mrs. N. Rothstein of Vancouver, is one of the most talented young musicians in Canada, and has won honours at Musical contests against players much older than himself.
On July 20th young Rothstein will appear at the Beacon Theatre, and it is hoped that the Jewish community will turn out in force to hear him.

Congress Notes
One of the most interesting features of the work of the Canadian Jewish Congress is the economic, social and historical research they are doing. The work is under the direction of Carl Goldenberg, sessional lecturer in economics at the McGill University, L. Rosenberg of Regina, Sol Hayes of Montreal, and Martyn Cohen of Tor-, onto.
The work has proceeded for only a few months, and little has been published to date, but those who have been privileged to see any of it are astounded at its scientific nature and the reliability of the results obtained.
The Canadian Jewish Congress is establishing an exchange of the Jewish press of Canada and Belgium.
The local committee of the Canadian Jewish Congress wishes us to announce that arrangements have been completed to transfer the money held in Vancouver raised for the relief of German Jews. Quite adequate assurance has been made that none of this money is diverted to any but relief purposes, as is the unquestioned intention of the donors.
The inner executive of the Congress Committee meets every Monday night to report* its activities during the week. The whole executive meets every month.
Herzl Memory Honoured
Addressing a mass audience of Zionists in the Centre, Rabbi Jesse Schwartz, executive director of the Canadian Zionist Organization, spoke on Herzl on the 30th anniversary of his death.
Herzl was a born leader, the uncrowned King of the Jews, a king without a people. He ignored his own great pride, and descended to humiliation for his ideal. He wondered over Turkey, England, Russia and Rome, and begged Jewish millionaires to have broad vision. He achieved much and made the Jewish problem recognized for what it is. He created the Zionist Congress and established, for the first time in twenty centuries, a Jewish tribune. He taught the Jews a sense of self-respect and of their own destiny.
If Herzl were alive now he would stand on a platform of Jewish labour, of decent observance of tradition in public, but with no sense of inquisition or force in religion. He would support the Jewish National Fund, and would militate for a discipline for capital.
The speaker also paid tribute to the late poet Bialik, one of the few prophets of our history.
Dr. W. Morris and K. Katznelson were the chairmen, and Rev. N. Pastinsky uttered the memorial services.
Rabbi Schwartz gave a report on the Edmonton Conference and called it a great success. The spirit of the conference was one of full-blooded Zionism. It is to be regretted that. Vancouver did not send a delegate to the conference.
No Difference at All
Little Sammy came rushing into the grocery store.
"I want 50 spools of number one thread!" he shouted, breathless.
"You mean one spool of number fifty thread, don't you?" replied the proprietor, smiling.
Sammy thought for a moment, and then answered: "It doesn't make any difference, because it has to be charged anyway."
For those who did not see this column last week, we will just repeat the information that the Council Camp will be held at the Y.W.C.A. camp at Copper Cove, again this year, from July 24th to August 21st—the girls for the first two weeks, and the boys for the second.
The splendid committee are already working to make this year's camp the happiest one in British Columbia, and as was promised last week, we will now announce the names of the chairmen of the various coirimittees. Each committee is needed to make a smooth - running organization, and when you stop to think that each woman, instead of resting after a winter, busy with activities ana many meetings, is giving of her time and freedom to do her share in the workings of the camp, we feel sure it cannot help but be a summer holiday, long to be remembered by every lucky boy and girl. The committees are as follows: Chairman, Mrs. M. Koenigsberg, Bay. 8687. Sub-4];haii'man, Mrs. Norman Brown. Supplies and Beljy-eries: Mrs. Wm. Fisher. Registration: Mrs. Harry I. Boyaner, Bay. 6625. Examination: Mrs. Gerald Plant - Mrs. H. J. Allen. Transportation: Mrs. I. W. Chess - Mrs. H. B. Kahn. Visiting: Mrs. T, Goldbloom, Bay. 8914; Mrs. L. Weinreb, Bay. 8698. Camp Entertainment : Mrs, Wm; Steiner, Ker. 2665.
Next week we will have the names of our supervisors for you, and another article with more definite and complete information.
It is the hope of the Senior Council that all Junior groups—girls, boys, young men and young women—will feel it a pleasure and a privilege to take either an afternoon or an evening while the camp is in progress, to come over for an hour or two to visit and entertain the young campers. There are so many delightful ways of doing this—concerts, picnics, on the beach, marshmellow toasts, bpn-flres and sing-songs, an indoor party and many more of a similar nature. Just choose your type, and let the entertaining or visiting chairman help you choose your day.
Last year no child who wished to come to camp was refused. We were also able to take a few children who wanted a little holiday among their own, and who, for a modest fee. were happy to come to our camp. We trust that they will want to do so again this year.
All reservations are in the hands of Mrs. Harry Boyaner, 1655 West 14th Ave., Bay. 6625. Phone early and save disappointment.
