On being presented with the Proclamation of Faith and Thanksgiving, His Excellency said:
"It is a pleasure and a privilege to receive today Mr. Samuel Bronfman, President of the Canadian Jewish Congress, Mr. Lavy M. Becker, chairman of the National Bicentenary Committee, and the other members of the Committee. This is indeed an auspicious occasion. It is fitting that you should ask Her Majesty's Representative in Canada to associate himself with the celebration of the 200th anniversary of Jewish settlement in Canada.
"It is an anniversary worthy of note in Canada where, to quote from your Proclamation of Faith and Thanksgiving, 'the blessings of a free country have made possible a flourishing Jewish Community living in harmony with its fellow-citizens.
"I have read with the deepest interest the "Chronology of Canadian Jewish History." It is a record of which you may well be proud. I am happy to add my tribute to the record by saying that the Jewish population of Canada has always been a loyal, industrious, and law-abiding element I wish to rgpsat what I said at my
ing engineer and three of the eleven committee members knew what an atomic reactor was. In the same meeting, however, a discussion of a bicycle shed for the clerical staff costing $2,350 went on acrimoniously for a full half hour because everybody could not only visualize a bicycle shed but because the sum of $2,350 was also within everyone's comprehension.
In planning board meetings we must set a standard to which the wise and the good can repair wkh the expectancy of being useful and without fear of being bored to .death. Finally, as part-of the inspiration and motivation of board members we must nourish a desire to participate more fully in Jewish Welfare -Board Section and national conferences and committees pertaining to our work. Much of the zest in life lies in being able to feel that we are a part of something that is larger than ourselves. In this way we are able to renew and refresh ourselves at the springs from which knowledge, inspiration, and interest come. We ought never forget the wise admonition contained in Alexander Pope's immortal and often misinterpreted couplet: -�~

The 1960 Oldsmobile Line Features New Designs And Styling
New crisply-tailored styling and a new balance of design arc-teamed with further advances in economy of operation in the 17 new Oldsmobile models for 1960, it was announced by General Motors of Canada. Limited.
The 1960 Oldsmobiie features a redesigned Rocket engine in the Dynamic "88" series for use with lower cost regular grade gasoline.
In all series there are new rear axle ratios and many other engineering advancements. Design of the car is new from every view � front, side and rear. Bright chrome plated bars in groups of three give the 1960 Oldsmobile" curved grille a wide, stable look even though the car itself is no wider than 1959 models.
The lower and slightly rounded styling of the new front end increases manoeuvrability, especially in tight parking situations, from 2% to 3V4 inches. The flowing lines of the 1960 Oldsmobile are emphasized by a chrome accent strip which starts at the headlight, awpppa__hack to__the__rear

A refugee who was given up for (lead by his father for almost two decades arrived in the U.S through a special act of Congress and with the help of United Hias Service, the worldwide Jewish migration agencv. A nightmare of 19 years' duration cameto an end for Harry Levenstein when he was united with his father, Samuel, and his stepmother. The refugee started his Vflight from death at the age of ten years, when the Nazis invaded Poland. His flight over the years took him from Poland, to Russia and Siberia, back to Poland, to West Berlin, to Israel. Now in poor health, Mr. Levenstein needed special Congressional action to clear the last remaining barrier to his arrival in the United States as an immigrant.
The necessary bill was recently introduced by Congresswoman Florence B. Dwyer, of Elizabeth, N.-J., the district in which Mr. Levenstein's father lives. President Eisenhower signed the bill following its adoption. Obtaining a visa and transportation were then speedily arranged. United Hias Service reported. The older Levenstein, who migrated to the United States in 1951, is a successful building contractor in Elizabeth, N. J.
Father and son were separated in 1939, when the family was arrested in Poland by the Gestapo and sent to separate extermination camps. Samuel Levenstein's first wife and two daughters met their death in concentration camps. When liberated by American troops in 1945, the father believed the rest of his family had perished. United Hias Service helped him to arrive in Elizabeth to start a new life in 1951.
All this time, the father was totally unaware that in 1940 his son Harry managed to escape from German-occupied Poland into Russia. Harry was evacuated to Siberia two years later. He remained there in a mining outpost where he worked for 15 years. Temperatures of 60 below zero were not uncommon in that region.
Because of poor health, Harry sought and was granted repatriation to Poland. On his return to the land of his birth, he was able to obtain his father's address. His father and stepmother flew to Poland when they learned that Harry was alive. He then made his way to West Berlin and decided to wait in Isrsel during the time his application to the United States was being processed. Pro-cessing took time, first because his birth certificate was burned during the Nazi occupation of

THE CARE AND FEEDING OF COMMUNITY LEADERS
(Continued from Page Ten) committee fiat rather than by joint thinking. Minimizing the decision-making prerogatives of board membership can seriously damage board members* morale, but often the same result can come by too much absorption in the details of the administrative process. Board meetings must be used primarily to define arid develop agency philosophy and policy. Busy people will be bored by endless discussion of petty detail which properly should be handled by an effective eommittee system. We all must have had to endure meeting* where more time was devoted to such matters than to the staff of which our dreams are made.
A recent book, "Parkinson's Law", written by an English civil servant, BOW professor of history at the University of Malaya, gives tome amusing insights into the subject of boards and councils and upon their organizational foibles. In one chapter, titled "High Finance or The Point of Vanishing Interest," Professor Parkinson

After dispelling the nightmare of the past yean, Harry plans to use some of his vocational training in his father's business. For pe>rt of the wonder of this story is the fact that daring bis stay in Russia, Harry became skilled at interior decoration.
"A little knowledge is a dangerous thing
"Drink deep or taste not the Pierian Spring." The emphasis is on the word "little."
When we have asked and answered questions one and two we come to one of the more vexing and controversial of our problems, that of making room at the top.
Achieving the widest and deepest participation in our work requires mandatory turnover of board members and officers. In the fifth chapter of the Sayings of the Fathers (Pirke Aboth) we learn that it is possible for some things to have the defects of their virtues and others to have the virtues of their defects. Mandatory retirement is one of the things about which this might be said. Granting the existence of the exceptional circumstance, I would stilr stand by the fellow who first said that the only indispensable man was Adam.

The redesigned Rocket engine has a displacement of 371 cubic inches and develops 240 horsepower. It incorporates a new two-barrel carburetor recalibrated for maximum economy and power at a new compression ratio of 8.75 to 1. The Rocket engine is standard in the Dynamic "88" series.
Oldsmobile's top power plant, the Premium Rocket engine, is standard on the Super "88" and the "98". It is designed to take full advantage of the power potential in today's premium fuels. The standard rear axle ratio in,each series Oldsmobile for i960 has-been lowered. This results in reduced engine speeds, quieter engine operation, improved economy, less wear and greater durability.
Oldsmobile has added two new body styles to the 1960 lines � three-seat Fiesta station wagon.* in the Dynamic "88" and the Super "88" series. The third seat fold? flat with one motion when not ir use. A redesigned second seat ir all 1960 Fiesta station wagons ha* a four-inch wider cushion. In addition to the increased seat area, this makes entering and leaving easier by getting the edge of the cushion out closer to the door opening.
