(Short Remarks)
By RABBI J. L. ZLOTNIK
Trusting In Yon The Vancouver Jewish Youth Federation started its gigantic work of organizing oiu* Youth and providing for them all the institutions that a healthy body of youth needs and desires, without having a dollar in the bank or a penny in the trea-siuy.
They printed i m e m b e r s hip cards and propaganda booklets, organized a dance and a banquet without funds. They Rabbi J. L. Zlotnik rented a gymnasium and bought equipment, they ordered books for their library from Montreal, New York and London. They are planning a hundred and one things and all because of their deep faith in the Jewish commimity.
As thehr deficit and tadebtedness grow, so grows their enthusiasm. They see that after all very much can be accomplished with comparatively small sums. And they cannot imaghie—though youth is supposed to be very imaginative—that the community should fail them in their noble endeavor.
But, my friends, citizens of the Jewish commimity, you are, I am afraid, quite a little too tardy. Don't you think that it is quite time already for you to come and assume yom: share of the burden? The group of young men and women who are at the head of the Federation are, after all, working for you and for your children. You cannot recompense them for the time, love and (Continued on Page 4)
DALAI LAMA?
■W
NAGPUR, India (NCJC) — The search for a new Dalai Lama continues unabaited. A report which recently reached India indicates that parties of monks, who are making investigations in Mongolia and elsewhere, have not yet discovered the new incarnation of the Dalai Lama who died some months ago.
Tibetans believe that when a Dalai Lama dies, it is only his body that perishes. His ego, his very self, merely transfers itself into the body of some other person. This other person is the one who is bom at the same time as the Dalai Lama dies. The problem is to find, in the first instance, what babies were bom at that moment; and secondly, which of the babies then bom Is the one into whose body the Dalai Lama has really passed.

CONCERTED MOVE TO BACK SABBATH SCHOOLS
BIRMINGHAM (N C J O— After some weeks of hesitation, the Birmingham Board of Education has granted its permission to a jomt commission of Jews, Catholics and Protestants to survey the schools with a view to coimecting all the children under the city system with the church which they indicate as theh: choice.
Birmingham is the first Southern city where this inter-faith co-operation has been attempted.
The committee doing the work is represented by D. R. Price, secretary of the Bhmingham Sunday School Council, for the Protestants; Dr. Morris Newfield, rabbi of Temple Emanu-El, for the Jews; and Father Francis Ghri, youth leader, for the Catholics.
Responding with characteristic warmth to a request tiiat he give his views on Jewish music—probably his most beloved topic—Cantor Leibel Glantz had many interesting things to say to the Bulletin reporter in an interview this week. To him the songs of the ancient Temple come to life
when the Torah is read in the Synagogue of today.
"Better than ansrthing in life, it seems to nte, I love to chant in the Synagogue," he said, '.'I feel then the prayerful spirit' of the ipeople come out to me and I catch thi&—in song." Cantorial songs were imrecorded for centuries. Cantor Glantz explained, just, as was the case with the recording of the Talmud. This fact gave, and still continues to give, the officiating cantor opportunity for "mountains of improvisation". "Emek" TypicaUy Jewish "Does this then mean that there are no rules of form to govern Jewish religious expression?" the reporter queried. The Cantor was emphatic in his explanation—every scrap of music which is truly Jewish adheres closely to a classical mode. In fact, any Jewish songs,-even many that are most popular today, which do not sing out hi the Jewish mode, cannot be termed Jewish. Among the songs of today which Cantor Glantz pointed to as not bemg of typically Jewish origin is the melody of Hatikveh.
The lovely melody of the tune which has swept Palestine today and found resotmding echoes in Jewish communities throughout the world, the
song of the "Emek", Cantor Glantz"—--—-—
points to as one of the very few mod- ancient Temple.

em Jewish songs which can be claimed as truly one of our own, both for form and spirit.
Fears for Music of Palestine What of the mass of melody which is identified with the Chalutz? Mr. Glantz has fears for the immediate music future of Palestine. He admits the value of the infiux of noted Jewish musicians into the Holy Land but believes that they will bring with them their own music, not Jewish music—of the people. "Will they catch the spirit of Palestine?" he demanded. In America, as Cantor Glantz sees it, there are distinguished Jewish musicians by the score, but there is no Jewish music.
"Folk music must spring from the table, the shop, the street," explahied Cantor Glantz, "there is the mirror

Audience Captivated
Although the extreme fog made it impossible for a great nmnber to hear Cantor Glantz at Schara Tzedek services on Friday night, the Sunday night concert drew an overflowing attendance. The Cantor agreed to perform the evening prayer services for those who had been unable to hear them, although he expressed his dislike for combining. a concert program with holy services. His large audience was enthralled with the natural beauty of his voice and the exceeding sincerity of his manner.
JERUSALEM (WMS-Palcor Agency)—^The first plane of a new air service linking Poland and Palestine in a regular transportation schedule arrived in Haifa after a flight that took two days instead of one, as scheduled. The plane, coming from Warsaw, was forced by weather conditions to halt for a day on the Island of Rhodes.
BOSTON (NCJC)—Because ^ the Jews and the Yankees have more in common; than most people imagine, and because theh: attributes are'^cli as to make them almost identical types, and because the Jews claim historical precedence over the Yankees, Hebrews may therefore lay-claim to b&ing the original "Yankees'" is the unusual thesis of an article-appearhig in the October, 1936 Issue-of "Yankee Magazine."
Written by Carl Alpert, associate editor of the "Jewish Advocate" of Boston, the turticle first points out that the popular misconception of the Yankee is of a shrewd, sharp, grasping person.-This pictture, Mr. Alpert declares, tallies with the popular notion of what constitutes a Jew. . The author then proceeds to show that the popular misconception' of the two as shrewd materialists,.their common code of morals, their common reverence and religiousity, their common esteem of Intellectual attainments, their common hospitality and Pmritanism — all these reveal an amazhig and a remarkable similarity between the Yankee and the Jew.
This week the Rev. Allen Lorimer, pastor of the Franklin Street Congregational Church of Manchester, N. H., devoted his weekly sermon to a review of the article, lising Nathan Straus as an example of a good Jew.
