YOUNGEST YALE
GRADUATE HEADS
CLASS AT 14
Merrill Kenneth Wolf, of Cleveland, Ohio, a chubby, bespectacled boy of fourteen years, received a Bachelor of Arts from Yale, thus becoming the youngest graduate in the university's history.
Merrill, who topped his class and whirled through a three-year course in a year and a half, was sensitive to the publicity that has trailed his accomplishments, which include speaking a complete sentence at the age of four months and playing the piano at twenty-two months.
He avoided reporters and newsreel photographers, -"but consented to pose for a few still pictures with his father and mother and a cousin. His parents are lawyers.

France today stands proudly among the free nations of the world. The scars of war are healing faster than seemed possible when I entered France last December to set up the J.D.C. program of aid and rehabilitation.
As was true in every country where the Germans gained power and enforced their "racial laws", the Jews were stripped of almost all their assets. To meet the ensuing destitution and to provide for other emergencies, numerous organizations were formed � so many, in fact, that they were frequently at cross purposes and with overlapping functions. This spring, however, a united co-ordinating agency, the Comit� Juif d'Action Sociale et de Reconstruction (CO* JASOR), which the J.D.C. subventions, was created.
The story of the J.D.C.'s support of French Jewry through the underground is one that will have to be told another time. Today in liberated France, however, the J.D.C. grants aid in the value of 35 million francs monthly for outright relief, child care, medical programs, retraining, loan kassas and other reconstruction activities. The J.D/C. now helps, in one form or another, nearly 36,000 war-impoverished persons, of whom some 11,000 are children, mostly orphans. Even so, those receiving aid today are only the most needy of the 170,000 Jews in France.
So great are the needs that only much larger funds will make it possible to help all those who require aid. With limited. resources, the J.D.C. is doing as much as is humanly possible. It would not be honest to tell you that we are doing all that could and should be done if sufficient funds were available.
In some directions, however, we are giving full assistance. Some

5,000 Jews deported by the Naais to German concentration camp*, who have been repatriated to France, are receiving com] support from the J.D.C. Hm of those returning are living in 12 shelters which were established for them, and others bars been sent to convalescent centers for medical attention. Still others are recovering in the country.
The J.D.C. in France, as in moat other countries, is not an operating organization. It functions rather through the COJASOR and other organizations which it subventions in whole or in part. Outstanding is the OSE medical program. TUs child-care agency together with the SERE now operates 14 clinics. In addition, it assists non-French doe* tors who are unable to practice In France. These men work in the social agencies or institutions of the OSE under the direction of a French physician.
In Paris 23 canteens are now operating and about 32,000 meals are served weekly. Six canteens operate in the provinces, serving 1,341 meals daily. As rapidly as is possible, quantities of material supplies �_ food, clothing, medicines � are' being sent to France, particularly for people who are hospitalized or those resident in eld-age homes.
In addition, J.D.C. supports an economic reconstruction program through a loan kassa which has advanced more than 500 loans for small business and professional enterprises since the first of the year. There is a vocational retraining program, including special aid for professionals and an employment agency.
The winter ahead will probably be the most critical period for the French people and particularly for the French Jews who were especially discriminated against They have survived so much � but. even the bravest of them are not able to look forward with any sense of security to the dreaded cold winter which will begin in a few weeks. The Jews of France, French and non-French, plead for as modi support and assistance as American Jews can send.

When, on November 7, 1*85, the last spike was driven Unking the rails of the Canadian Pacific Railway, developments only dreamed of that day were to follow.
Soon ships flying the red and white Canadian Pacific house flag were plying the Pacific . . . then the Atlantic There followed a chain of hotel* . . . resorts and lodges . . . coastal and inland steamships . . . express and telegraph services� the whole forming an ail-Canadian system stretching more than half way round the world.
In 1939, this vast system was dedicated to the winning of the war. Since then the Company's rail lines alone have handled more than 128 billion ton miles of freight� tod 1 1 billion passenger miles. All ocean steamships have been on active service� many have gone down fighting.
Now the Cso*^**^ Pacific faces the future. Plans
have been completed for the construction of new, improved locomotives and coaches. . . sleeping cars... parlour cars . . . diners; for the renovation of stations and hotels; and for the building of a new fleet of ocean vessels.
In a world at peace the Canadian Pacific will do its part in providing modern, esfdcnt transportation by land and
