MISS ELIZABETH SIMON, the Hungarian Jewish girl who was chosen as “Miss Europe” to represent Europe at the international beauty contest in Galveston, has decided to withdraw from the contest. Miss Simon said that she was motivated in withdraw ing not only because of the letter she received from a Galveston Bishop sug gesting that the contest was an “un- aesthetic spectacle,” but she has be come tired of the demonstrations and the anti-Semitic outbursts to which she has been subjected since being chosen “Miss Europe” at the Paris contest. She also dislikes personal advertisement. JEWS CANNOT BE BARRED FROM JURY LISTS, GEORGIA SUPREME COURT RULES Reverses Decision of County Court, " hich Refused to Intervene; Brands Commissioners’ Action as Malicious and Prejudicial Atlanta, Ga. (JTO)—The Supreme Court of the State of Georgia took a vigorous stand in checking an attempt t<> infringe upon the citizenship rights of citizens of the Jewish faith in that >tate, in handing down a decision re versing the position taken by the Su perior Court of Bryan County. In handing down its ruling, the Supreme ( ourt took occasion to denounce the Bryan County Jury Commissioners for excluding Jews from the jury panels. The Supreme Court upheld the ac tion of C. J. Bashlor and others who sought a mandamus against a resolu tion adopted by the Bryan County Jury Commissioners, excluding Jews from both petit and grand jury ser vice. The complainants charged that the Commissioners acted with “hatred, malice, and religious prejudice.” The Commissioners’ resolution af fected only four Jews constituting the Jewish community in the countv. The four Jews, headed by Mr. Bashlor, in- 'tituted a suit to gain the rights of ’•'Ual citizenship, when the resolu- " n became known. They lost the j ;t in the county superior court, which refused to force the Commis sioners to revise their jury lists. The Supreme Court reversed the "Her court’s stand and critisized the . lr - v Commissioners. In the Supreme ' "urt decision, it was pointed out that a t ‘ 10U Kh the ruling affected only four ^ ,rS j )ns * n count y. one was the ’ rd largest taxpayer in the county ' ir " t * le others were also “upright, honest arid eligible.” The Southern Israelite i DR. ISAAC M. WISE The 110th anniversary of the birth of Dr. Isaac M. Wise, leader of Re form Judaism, was observed Satur day, March 30th, at 3 p. m., at Found er’s Day exercises in Hebrew Union College Chapel, at Cincinnati. This picture was taken by the late Isaac Benjamin, internationally famous photographer, and was found during a search of his files for another pic ture. The cane seen here is of olive wood and was brought from Jerusalem by one of his admirers to Dr. Wise, who traveled in the Holy Land when such journeys were infrequent. A HAPPY UNION What are human beings striving for? Liberty, Freedom. But aren’t we free? It all depends upon what we call Freedom. Haven’t we all the Lib erty we want? There is ample evi dence that mankind is not at all as free as it might be, that humans do not enjoy that Liberty to which they have a right. And this lack of com plete liberty, this want of Freedom, and this yearning of men and women from liberation of the thraldom which is still theirs, gives point to Passover, the Ancient Jewish Festival of Lib eration. Thousands of years have elapsed since the Children of Israel marched out of Egypt a free people. It was a new thought this emancipa tion of slaves and for all the succeed ing centuries and centuries. The Jew ish people, the world over, have held aloft the Torch of Freedom, have kindled from age to age the Blazing Fires of Liberty. And when the Children of Israel marched out of Egypt they baked their own unleavened bread, Matzoth they called it. It was customary for every Jew to bake his own Matzoth. But there came a time when that was im possible. A complex civilization, the many demands that constantly made upon the time and energies of man called for specialization and so there came into being the Matzoth Bak eries, the most outstanding of which is the B. Manischewitz Company, of Cincinnati, Ohio, founded in 1888. Pesach is a unique holiday. To ob serve this holiday properly, it is es sential to have the Unique Matzoth, the Manischewitz Matzoth and Mat zoth Products. There are none like them. The moral is obvious Pesach, unique. No other feast in the Jewish Calendar is like it. Manischewitz Matzoth is unique, there is no other Matzoth like it. WHAT A HAPPY UNION!
