BtTO JACOB 9OOAL
The most successful affair in, the annals of the club was its third annual banquet, held on the evening of May 6V The members and out of town guests had been anticipating this event for some time, every, available teat having been reserved. Their expectations were exceeded, due to the untiring efforts of the members of the banquet committee and their able helpers.
Yellow and mauve formed the color scheme, which proved a happy choice, as the decorations .were both beautiful and effective and transformed the club rooms into a. bower of beauty. Tall vases of daffodils and mauve sweet peas adorned the long tables, as also did pretty yellow candles which spread a soft and enchanting glow over the happy diners. The windows were hung with yellow and mauve curtains and similar colored streamers were suspended from the beams and electrolliers. A dainty repast was served arid too much praise cannot be given to Mrs. B, Laing, Mrs. D. Kan ff main, Miss A. Robinson and Miss Hilda Goldblatt for their efforts in providing thjs important part of the banquet. Yells ano! songs kept the ball rolling and during the course of thq evening an amusing surprise, "B.J.P,S.". was presented, by Messrs. KaurTman, Robinson,Sutton and Scholes. Mr, Ab. Walters, tho genial president, enacted the role of toast master.. The toasts and responses Were eloquently given .-by-.Misses.. Jessie Levin, Nina Zola, Bessie Schnebcr, Mrs. D. Kauff-mati and Messrs. I). Davidovitz, Sam Pollock, Have Robinson, D. Kauffman,
Morley Goldblatt, Joe Laing, Merman Scholes and Edward Goodman!
The members of the committee who planned the banquet were: Misses Doris Cohen, Thelma Bercovitz, Etta Levin,
Matilda Davidovitz, 'and Messrs, Ab. Walters, Dave Davidovit^j j. Sherman, and Joe Laing, convener.
Jerusa'em �(J. T. A.):�Emir Abdullah, ruKr of Tiansjordania, has been asked by.ret r'jsentatiyes of the palestine Arabs to-'"defer- Ins plans for the establishment of an Advisory Council for Transjprdaiiia pending settlement of the whole Arab question. These representations were made by Mussa Ka^im Pasha chairman, and a few of the members of the.. Arab delegation, who visited Abdullah at Ammon. The Palestine representatives pointed but there is likelihood of action being taken conforming to the wishes of the Palestine Arabs, and that the Transjordanian ruler could aid enormously in this work by falling in with their plans.
New York, (J. C, D.)�The total expended in PatestkM by the Jewish National Fund during the year 1922 reached �159,1164 or approximately $794,320, it is learned.
This amount compares very favourably with that spent in 19& when the investments of the National Fund totalled the highest figure for any one year since its foundation, namely, �161,300. The present sum was expended as follows:                              --
For land purchases �100,4$3t�63; for land improvement, �34,901,434; afforestation and planting, �7,254.242; buildings, �5,295,952; bans, �6,957r 146. Total, �154,892.327.
The sums spent on purchasing and improving land are thus 87% of the total as compared with 84% in 1924 and 37% in 1920. This is in accordance with the policy of the National Jewish Fund to concentrate more and more on land acquisition and its preparation for immediate colonization. �40,000 was paid on account of the land purchases in the Valley of Jazreel where most of the improvement works 'were carried out. At a time when other funds had run low and the condition of the settlers was critical, the National Fund was able to employ hundreds oL workmen on its drainage schemes and water installation works. Had these essential works not been carried but, the Emek colonies could never had recorded their present progress, it is stated "''��' � ---' . � �
The Head Office of the. Jewish National Fund, it is learned, views the future with some concern as it is, now spending.its reserve resources and its present income is not adequate to enable it to continue to discharge its great responsibilities. A serious effort must be made, in the opinion of the directors, to augment the revenue of the Jewish National Fund.             -
