Page 12 The Southern Israelite More Southern Children are brought up on Merita Bread than any other Bread Every woman knows that bread made with milk has a richer flavor and silkier texture and is a more wholesome and more nutritious food. No wonder more Southern children are being brought up on Merita bread than any other brand for Merita is made with milk, and, after compar ing it with other breads, more Southern mothers buy Merita than any other kind. You, too, can give your children the healthful benefits of a really better bread. Join the million women who every week express their preference for Merita. At your gro cer’s fresh every day. AMERICAN BAKERIES COMPANY YOUNG JUDAEA (Continued From Page 7) A Message From Southern Interstate! Young Judaea trains boys and girls to be better men and women. It offers them something to occupy their time outside of school. It makes them conscious of their Judaism. It gives them the oppor tunity to learn of their Golden Heritage. It affords them the chance to discuss and learn about the present-day Jewish prob lems. Above all, it trains them to be the leaders of tomorrow. Young Judaea is not a religious organi zation. It is purely a Jewish Youth Movement which is interested in any and everything pertaining to Judaism. The purpose of Young Judaea Month is to offer the chance to the city at large to witness some of their accomplish ments. On March 1st Atlanta will in augurate its Young Judaean Month. At the same time, every Young Judaean city in the South will be doing likewise. Young Judaea is managed by its own members, and is self-supporting. It has always tried to cooperate with the com munity as much as possible. Now Young Judaea is asking the community to co operate with it. No! They are not mak ing an appeal; all they ask the commu nity is to encourage Young Judaeans by giving these affairs their whole-hearted supix>rt. Make these youngsters feel that their parents really appreciate the work of Young Judaea. Young Judaean Month is not a money-making event. It is only Young Judaea’s debut to the city, and if there is a nominal admission fee to any of the affairs, it is only to cover the expenses. Be on hand to applaud the efforts of these boys and girls who have tried hard to make these affairs a success. Young Judaea Month is not for Young Judaeans; it is for you. I wish to take this opportunity of ex tending greetings to all Young Judaeans throughout the city, and to wish the Atlanta Council much success in its un dertakings.

Young Judaea Creed I will be loyal to America and devot ed to the Jewish people. I will keep a healthy mind in a healthy body. I will learn all I can about my people: its history, the Hebrew language and literature, its customs and traditions, its hopes and aspirations for the fu ture. I will always be true to the ancient idal of the study of Torah for its own sake. I firmly believe that the restoration of the Jewish homeland in Palestine, ideal that the Jewish people must ful fill. I consider it my solemn duty to Eretz Yisroel, is the highest practical learn all I can about the land and its problems, and to render the fullest measure of service towards its restora tion. I am proud of my heritage and tradi tions. I will aim to live as a Jew in the home, synagogue and street. I will serve my club, my community, my country and my nation, and I always be ready to help in all thing* Jewish.—(Taken from Young Judac.: Handbook.)
