Page 12 The Southern Israelite Hard Times or No Hard Times New Year is almost here! The New Year’s Eve Gala Night at the Atlanta Biltmore will be the gayest affair of the season. Music directed by George Berkey’s Biltmore Orchestra; croon ers, musical novelties, dancing numbers a la caliente, to make use of an old Spanish custom. And there will be some music, too. Then there’s the dinner — the best the Biltmore chefs can pro duce. The carnival spirit will prevail! Things start at ten o’clock and wax furious till the wee sma’ hours. Here’s your best bet for New Year’s Eve! But, as reservations are lim ited, we urge that you make yours as early as p o s s i b 1 e. We’d hate to disap- point you.

BRANCH No. 2 1133 Euclid Ave. Foreign New Berlin.—Fearing to arouse the anti- Semitic Hitlerites to the point of at tacking Jews, the Jewish congrega tions of this city issued proclamations urging the community to refrain from carrying out the 1 ashlich ceremony this year. Tashlich is the traditional symbolic custom of casting one’s sins into the water before the high holy days. Despite these precautions a few attacks were made on Jews during the Rosh Hashanah holiday. I he attacks, however, were isolated and not of a serious nature. London.—Colonize thousands of Jews throughout the land and let them teach Arabs how to cultivate the soil is the advice contained in a letter to the Lon don Times by Sir Flinders Petrie, fa mous archeologist, who declares that Jewish agriculturists have given an in spiring example to Arabs, who have been spurred on to greater efforts. Between the two peoples, and with Jews given sufficient opportunities, Palestine can become a prosperous country, he says. Moscow.—The introduction of per manent courses in “anti-religious science” in all Jewish schools in Soviet Russia is recommended by the Oktia- bre, Jewish Communist organ in Minsk. The suggestion is made in connection with a review of the failure of the anti-religious campaign on the eve of the recent High Holidays. The Oktiabre complains that it is futile to expect any results from anti- religious propaganda when it is called into use only twice a year. The use of anti-religious measures just before the advent of the holidays is a boomerang, the Oktiabre feels. The paper points out that by conducting anti-religious campaigns only on the eve of the holi days the opposite effect is achieved and the Jews are reminded of them by the agitation against them. Buenos Aires, Argentina.—According to the report of the local Jewish im migrant aid society 4,000 Jews have entered the Argentine during the past half year. All of these came from East European countries. Warsaw.— Half famished, and clad only in underwear, the rabbi of the Russian town of Anapolie was found unconscious on the outskirts of the Polish city of Ostrog. Anapolie is a town far from the Russo-Polish border. When he was revived he told a har rowing story of his experiences in flee ing officers of the Russian secret police from whom he had escaped by fleeing across the border. \\ arsaw.— The continued existence of the Warsaw Emigration Bureau is made impossible, it was learned today, because the Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid Society (Hias) of New ^ ork has suddenly discontinued its subsidy to the Bureau. The Warsaw Emigration Bureau has for many years been serving the interests of Jewish emigrants. Its suspension will mean that hun dreds of Jewish workers who have already emigrated to Western Europe and South America will be exposed to swindlers and forgers. The council of Jewish Professional Unions of Poland has decided to make a vigorous pro test to Hias against its action. The action of Hias is probably due to the perilous financial condition in which it finds itselt. World-wide appeals have been made tc prevent this internationally known organi sation from curtailing its activities for lack of funds. Jerusalem.—Orthod j ewU . . , and the officials of - mint ? deri i Orthodox organization . rt sratl censed at the playi ball match in this , Jewish teams since t protest'^!! last May against the suspe n ion^S immigration.

The outraged ()r ; dox leaders repaired in a body to the playing field and rebuked the players for violating the Sabbath. The sponsors of the game protested that no tickets were sold, and no vehicles were permitted to approach ■ field while the playing itself was • violation of the Sabbath. Montreal.—The Quebec provincial government recently passed an order • council granting $300,000 to the local Jewish hospital. The amount was,pr"i iscd last year during the campaign to raise funds for the first Jewish hospital in Montreal which is to he built soon. Warsaw.—Indignation at the Brit ish Palestine policy has expressed it in a number of huge mass meeting and in violent demonstrations in fr nt of the British consulate here. The Jewish shopkeepers of Poland are being approached for the purpose organizing a boycott on all British goods imported into the country. Berlin.—That the former Kaiser j Wilhelm II is a generous contributor to the campaign funds of Adolf He ' anti-Semitic leader, is the charge tna • in the newspaper Acht Uhr Abendhla which declares that Prince August Wilhelm, the Kaiser’s third son. who •> a member of the National Soci party, has been acting as go-betwe in providing the money. The charge has been denied, however, by a lea^: , member of the Fascist group. . 1 also learned that the ex-Kaiser hinise. has issued a statement to the et e that neither he nor his sons have tributed to the Fascist campaign tun London—The Hebrew University ^ Jerusalem was invited by Harvard J 1 ' versity to participate in a P r 'i ut excavating on the site of San ;fia.
