ZIONIST COUNCIL OF WINNIPEG
That the Zionist Council in Winnipeg has been quite active is apparent from the following facts:
During the period from January 1st, 1924, to August 20th the National Fund Committee of the Zionist Council of Winnipeg has collected the amount of $1,978.68 for National Fund as compared with the amount of $589.41 for the same period last year.
The amount collected by the National Fund Committee with the assistance of the Winnipeg and Ezra Chapters of Hadassah have collected during the Herzl Memorial Campaign, which lasted about two weeks, the sum of $633.25, the highest amount raised in Canada for the Herzl Forest.
In recognition of its achievements the Fund Committee in Winnipeg have been awarded the first prize and their name will be inscribed in the Golden Book of the Jewish National Fund.
The National Fund Committee also made a drive for selling shares in the Jewish Colonial Trust Bank, and nearly 700 shares were sold. A large number of shares have been sold on the instalment plan and the moneys are being collected weekly from the subscribers. In the period intervening between August 23, 1923, and August 25, 1924, about 1,200 shares were sold and in many cases shares have been sold to each member in the family. Families bought 8 and 10 shares. The Council in Winnipeg through its committees succeeded in establishing a source of yearly revenue amounting to about $6,000 for the Jewish Colonial Trust Bank.
The Committee in Winnipeg will try to sell two thousand shaves each year.
The Zionist Council in Winnipeg are organizing the Jewish Agency.
The National Fund Committee in W'innipeg have also a sub-committee, which is called The Social Functions Committee, whose duties are to attend all weddings, parties and other entertainments for the purpose of soliciting contributions to the National Fund, until now chiefly for the Herzl Forest.

Off Strange Goyirta in Ford Goopc Forever, He Sagely Conclude*
Labour Day found Isadore Henzel bored to distraction. Ennui was overpowering him and he sought diversion. Here it was the day before the heart-rending opening of school and the last day of the reprieve should be spent in an entertaining manner, he decided. What to do, what to do, asked the Buffalo Express?
Armed with his bathing suit, young Isadore left his home at No. 449 Jefferson Avenue and sought his bosom friend Jake, of Hickory Street. Jake's surname bears a close resemblance to FalstafT, but Jake himself is the antithesis of that noted character. But Idadore never met his pal Jake on Labour Day. This is the tale he tells:
At Hickory and William Streets he was accosted by an affable man driving a Ford coupe. A kindly man he was, too, for after asking the lad the direction to the Broadway Theatre, he invited twelve-year-old Izzie into his car.
"Well," thought the lad, "if this isn't luck, I'm no member of the Jewish Community Demons. Jake can wait!"
Isadore's destination was Erie Beach , he told the stranger, and to Erie Beach he must go.
"And that's why I got my bathing suit with me," he confided.
"Sure," his new friend told him. "Sure, we'll go to Erie Beach. Believe me, Isadore, I'll show you a swell time."
That's what Isadore says the stranger said. In telling the story later at home young Mr. Henzel showed a surprising knowledge of the city's streets. They drove up Broadway to Main Street, and then to Ferry Street. There they took the ferry and came to Erie Beach.' According to Izzie's story he and his host remained at the Canadian resort throughout the night, riding around the countryside for miles.
"Early in the morning," continued the youthful wanderer, "the man started back for Buffalo. I told him to hurry, because I knew my mother would be worrying. But he told me to shut up. He drove over the ferry again and rode away out Broadway. I kept asking him to let me out, but he wouldn't. He stopped on the road once to buy a hot dog for me. When I told him I didn't want it, and that I wanted to go home, he made me eat it anyhow. I tried to get out of the car, but he always stopped me."
Lancaster, however, provied the undoing of Isadore's captor. The auto- � mobile was caught in a traffic jam and the lad took the opportunity to open the door and fall gracefully to the street. He bruised himself "something terrible," he informed his family.
Fate intervened for young Sinbad in Mr. and Mrs. John Smith, of Akron, who picked up the lad and drove him in their car to the police station in Lancaster. There he related his tale to the chief.
"And I'll betcha my mother don't know where I ami" he wailed.
As is the case of all mothers, Mrs, Henzel had allowed herself to become aggrieved over the apparent loss of her son, oldest in years and the one who must go to synagogue every day to recite the Kaddish�memorial prayers� for his father, who was killed at the Sheldon Avenue crossing in Lancaster by a Lehigh train on June 28th. Strange to the1 ways of this country, Mrs. HenzeJ did not report her son's disappearance to the police.
In the afternoon Isadore returned to his mother. Mr. Smith played the Good Samaritan by giving the Lad carfare and placed him on the trolley. Last night he recited the Kaddish and to his friends the epic tale of his ail-night ride.
"Forever," says Izzie, "I'm off them goyims in Ford coops."
