COUNCIL OF JEWISH
WOMEN
The National Council of Jewish Women
had the unusual distinction recently of
having a member of its Board of Direc
tor', Mrs. Leonard B. Schloss of Wash
ington, D. C., appointed by Mrs. Herbert
Hoover to serve as a member of the Na
tional Women’s Committee of the Wel
fare and Relief Mobilization, of which
she is Honorary Chairman, and of which
Mrs. Nicholas Brady, Chairman of the
National Board of the Girl Scouts, is
Chairman.
This National Women’s Committee
will be formed of from 500 to 1,000 mem
ber', to be chosen from every section of
the country because of their leadership
in welfare work. Mr. Newton D. Baker
is Chairman of the National Committee
on Welfare and Relief Mobilization.
“No party lines or politics were con
sidered in the appiontment of this
women’s committee, only community in
terest and leadership in social service
work,' said Mrs. Hoover at the first or
ganization meeting held at the White
House.
Another appointment on this same
committee, of which the National Or
ganization is indeed proud, is that of
Mrs. Mark Lansburgh, also of Washing
ton, D. C., representing the Women’s
Joint Congressional Committee, of which
she is Secretary, and on which she repre
sents the National Council of Jewish
Women.
Also of interest is the appointment of
Mrs. Maurice L. Goldman, Chairman of
the Executive Committee of the Board
of Directors, by our National President
as our representative to the American
Jewish Committee.
Mrs. Abraham H. Arons of New York
and Mrs. Eugene Springer of Philadel
phia were also appointed by our Presi
dent, to represent us on the Advisory
Board of "Jewish Current Events,” a
Jewish Youth publication, to be issued
weekly by the Jewish Daily Bulletin, in
order to inform Jewish Youth on cur
rent Jewish problems.
And finally comes the appointment of
Mrs. Harry S. Bernton of Washington,
D. C., as our representative on the Na
tional Council for Prevention of War,
whose Annual Meeting took place in
Washington last week.
Automobile News
The Plymouth car for 1933 will be a
six-cylinder product replacing the present
four, it is announced by Walter P. Chrys
ler. He said it would be marketed at
the lowest price that has ever been placed
in a Chrysler product, and intimated
that the other lines of cars now built by
the Chrysler Corporation are to be con
tinued.
Details for public introduction of the
1 933 Plymouth line are being developed
now and the program is soon to be an-
nounced.
In a statement covering the corpora
tion’s plans, Mr. Chrysler said: "For
some weeks past it has been rumored
that the Plymouth would shortly be a
'ix-cylinder car to sell at an even lower
price. That rumor is essentially correct.
The new Plymouth will be a six-cylinder
car and it will have ‘floating power.’
“Also, it will carry the lowest price,
by far, that has ever been placed on any
Chrysler product.
“We have studied potential markets
closely during this period and have
learned much about the buying habits
and motives of the people comprising
the American market. We feel that a
basic change has taken place in the at
titude of these people toward merchan
dise. They are seeking greater value and
are insisting on more for their money
n all lines. But we also find that they
are both able and willing to buy if the
right values are offered.
“ Phe best evidence that we can give
°f this confidence and of our faith in
:he buying power of the American peo
ple is the huge investment we have nec
essarily made in the new Plymouth. The
'tal sum chargeable to this one automo-
de runs into many millions of dollars.
More than $9,000,000 alone has been ex-
ended in design and experimental en
gineering and in retooling the Plymouth
dant.
in addition our committments for raw
nd semi-finished materials, affecting
nousands of workmen in allied indus-
r * es > funs into tens of millions. Delivery
: these materials has already begun.
I he Plymouth six will be a full-sized
r-tomobile. We do not believe the trend
American motoring is toward the
n;dget’ undersized car.”
Southern Young Judaea
Once more we welcome the New Year,
5693. Once more we are dedicating our
selves to seek nobler achievements in the
new year.
But on looking about us we l»egin the
New Year with a feeling of doubt and
uncertainty, with an outlook of fear and
hesitancy. Because we have gone through
one of the most dismal years in history,
made so by the dazzling light of the
years before, we wish to cast aside all
faith and hope in an attempt to seek the
easiest way out. But the same eternal
thread that has been binding the Jew to
the fold for these thousands of years will
be the one to lift him from his present
pit of misery and despondency. That
thiead for which everything has been
sacrificed and from which all the joy of
living is derived will rekindle the spark
of hope in the hearts of our people—
the Jewish youth.
Young Judaea in the South is looking
forward this year to one of the great
est periods in its history. It promises to
brim over with numerous successful ac
tivities. The organization period is over,
and soon all of our boys and girls will
enter into their many activities with all
of the energy and enthusiasm at their
command. All sorts of literary, athletic
and social programs will soon be initi
ated, thereby occupying the leisure time
of our boys and girls with endeavors
quite worth while, and which will prove
to be of limitless value in molding their
characters.
To you boys and girls I urge you to
lift up your torch and lead the way.
Show to those doubting ones that you
are living a clean, healthy and active
life, and that you will fulfill their hopes.
To you parents, may I plead with you to
take on once again that faith and cour
age that has always been characteristic
of you. Go forward with us in our ef
forts to foster a joyful, social environ
ment, to cultivate the ancient Jewish love
of learning, to bring ourselves closer to
our dramatic history, and to serve in the
cause to rebuild our homeland Zionism.
And in belatedly wishing you a most
happy and prosperous New Year, Young
Judaea stands upright and accepts your
challenge. We will “show to the world
that we live and desire to live.”
