“I told you so” Dept.—The recent anoun
cement of the engagement of MIRIAM KANT
SIPER and- LEO CENTER. Mazaltov to the
Love Birds.
From Athens comes the following memos:
Among the new romances count the hand¬
holding and starry-eyeness of JUDY ZAL
KOW and BERYL RUBNITZ; IRVING
LEVINE and ANNETTE HARRIS (what
happened to Melvin K?); MURRAY GOR¬
DON and JINX ENG ALLS; JULIUS RUB¬
NITZ and CHARLOTTE GREENBERG.
NORTON MALAVER, however, is the liv¬
ing example of “Safety in Numbers.” On
the other hand, LEON SLOTIN to his old
love is true. O. L. being NANCY LEVING
TON, of course, Ditto BUDDY POTMAN
and PAULA EISENBERG.
His family wasn’t the only ones to miss
DAVID RABHAN coming home for the Thanks¬
giving holiday. That boy really has a following
Do hope by now he is 100% okay again after
being confined to the Infirmary at such an in¬
opportune time. The TEP’s gave with a House
Warming for their House Mother, MRS. SER
OTTA, whom we will recall as the former DORA
LEWIS of Savannah.
This year was no exception to the Thanks¬
giving affair of our J E A Women’s Club
being up to and beyond par. Par would’ve
been good enough - but with so many en¬
tering into the spirit in dbstume - it was
really sump’n to see. SAMMY SUTKER as
Groucho Marx out-Groucho-ed Mr. Marx.
REUBEN SCHNEIDER was practically in¬
cognito in his getup as a gypsy and walked
off with First Prize, as you probably al¬
ready know. . . My, my, ADELE SUTKER
hajt a pair of “Grables” herself* Didn’t know
it until she appeared in the scantiest Adagio
cosume. . . HYMIE KIRSCHNER as Daniel
Boone (?) wore his entire stock of hides,
your correspondent regrets space does not
permit honoring many others who deserve
it. . . Among those in mufi - ELOISE PAT
looked like Sweet Sixteen in that black
strapless number. IDA BUCHSBAUM never
looked better in her life. And what a Dr.
Jekyl and Mr. Hyde PETE KAMINSKY
turned into!
Seen that same night at the Sapphire Room
- MR. and MRS. SOL LESSER, MR. and MRS.
HARRY REINER, ANNETTE BERMAN and
BUDDY REINER In another party MR. and
MRS. B. I. FRIEDMAN, MR. and MRS. LARRY
KARP, MR. and MRS. JOE LESSER.
And of course, there was the usual wtnd
ing-up of the evening out at Johnny Harris’.
The Younger Set came in for their share
of the fun at an hour when their elders
could no longer “take it”.
Seldom was a bride-elect honored with such
a deluge of parties as newly wed MINNIE IT
SKOVTTZ. Among some of the out-of-towners
in attendance have been FLORENCE PERLMAN
of Green Cove Springs, Fla.; FANNIE FRIED¬
MAN BURKE of Chattanooga, Tenn., and IDA

PALESTINE
WHILE THE MORALE of Palestine Jewry
sank to a new low last week, when the Pales¬
tine Supreme Court upheld the right of the
British Government to bar enty into the Holy
Land of nearly 4000 Jew¬
Seven-Point ish immigrants, hopes for
Plan peace rose again, follow¬
ing the Government’s of¬
fer of a seven-point plan, to serve as a basis
for future discussions among Jews, Arabs and
British. The points embodied in the plan are:
continuance of the British mandate for 15 years,
with a new decision posible after that time; open¬
ing Palestine to ioO.OOO Jews within the next
18 months; federalizing of Palestine into Jew¬
ish, Arab and British sectors; halting further
Jewish settlement where Arabs constitute more
than 70 percent of the population. In addition
Jewish settlement in the Southern desert to be
permitted; esablishment of seperate Jewish and
Arab police forces jointly headed by the British;
establishment of an advisory council of 40 per¬
cent Jews, 40 percent Moslem Arabs and 20 per¬
cent Christian Arabs and other Christians.
DECISION of the Palestine Govemmet to per¬
mit 750 Cyprus deportees, selected from the
Dec.-Jan. quota to come to the Jewish Agen¬
cy’s rest camp at Hadera, has evoked ridicule
in the Tel-Aviv press because the offers come
concomittantly with the deportation of nearly
4,000 refugees of Cyprus. Keeping the 750 de¬
portees at Hadera will enable the reception
of an additional 1,000 immigrants who will
be transferred from Cyprus as soon as pos¬
sible under the December—January quota.
Can’t wait till MAX HELLER returns
from his European jaunt- Just think, he
has been accredited to the World Zionist
Congress at Basle, Switzerland. He will
be one of the representatives of the Zion
is Organization of America.
Quite an enthusiastic audience on hand of
men and women to hear the reports from the
Zionists and Hadassahians. Much credit goes
to MIKE ADILMAN and DR. MAURICE CAMIN
for their enlightening talks. Last but not least
MIRIA LEVY relayed her experiences at the
recent Hadassah Convention at Boston; and Hub¬
by Jack from the Southeastern ZOA confab in
Miami.
Among those at the Ga.-Ga. Tech Game
were FRANK BUCHSBAUM, JOE MIRSKY,
BEN ALPERT, MOSEY PORTMAN, DR.
MELVIN BLAIR, LOUIS AND BERNIE
SLOTIN, NORMAN MIRSKY. Hope they all
left Athens happy as they arrived there.
Something of an npset in the final score,
wasn’t it?
I'll be seeing you.—

so.”

KINDLE THE LIGHTS
The first candle of the eight-day obser¬
vance of Chanukah will be lit on Tuesday
evening, December 16. An a^iitional candle
is lit each night, culminating in the light¬
ing of eight candles on Tuesday evening,
December 24 at sundown.
The candle-lighting, commemorating the
victory of the brave Maccabees over the
foes of the Israelites and the subsequent
rededication of the temple in Jerusalem
following its defilement by the enemy, is
a beautiful ceremony and should be fittin¬
gly observed in every Jewish home, both
for its significance as a link with our glor¬
ious past, and for its aesthetic beauty as a
family custom.
