During the third week, the whole camp participated in a song festival. Dr. Robert For man of CarbondaJe, Ill., music director, conducted the program and each cabin had its own entries under three catagories (1) Original camp song, (2) Hebrew song, and (3) Folk song in English. The third week was also JNF week and each camp planted trees in commemoration of Jew ish Arbor Day. We had a repre sentative from JNF, Arie Shoval of Israel and New York City who conducted a program of Israeli music and dances, and showed a movie about Israel The fourth and final week of the first session climaxed one of the best sessions in Blue Star’s history. Wednesday, the entire camp participated in a Macca- bead, which stressed “Friendship through Competition.” There were two teams, the Palmach and the Haganah, the white and the blue, respectively. The day was packed with sports events in which all the campers parti cipated. In the evening a song fest was held and the next morning the winners were an nounced at a lake side ceremony.

Hildegarde and com pany deserve rave notices for a splendid show. The Teen Age Villiage, after two weeks of strenuous rehears ing, presented “The Diary of Anne Frank,” a two-act play for the entire camp on Friday night. It was a moving and artistic performance, enjoyed by all attending. Saturday night each camp held its own Havdalah services, a social afterwards and a L’hit- raot or “goodby” parties. We are sorry to see our wonderful four week campers leave and will miss them. Each camp has been busy with activities of its own program. The Pioneers had an Indian council ring and saw a genuine fire danoe performed by our Indian Lore specialist, Julius Braveman of Cincinnati, Ohio. They went on trips to Lake Lure for motor boat rides and to Lake Cascade, where they water skiied and went canoe ing. The Senior girls, under the direction of Elsie Solomon of Augusta, held a Charm School one day and pretended they were training to be models. In a session with Hildegarde Ben nett they practiced posture, man ners ana social graces. The girls went on trips to Lake Cascade, and the Cherokee Indian reser vation to see the pageant, “Unto These Hills.” On TV Day, every cabin picked one TV program and dressed up like its charac ters for the entire day. That evening, the program consisted of each cabin presenting a skit about its particular program. The final program of the ses sion was a square dance with the Senior Boys and a L’hitraot party to say goodby to the four week campers. The Senior Boys, beside en gaging in camp activities, have done some special things on their own. A motherless baby lamb is being cared for by four of the boys: Donald Sussman, Barry Wassman, Myron Katz, and Louis Katz. Cabin S-13 made an ark for the Torah. Charles Rosenberg, in charge of B.CJ. ■ California Esther Bryan, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Irving Bryan of At lanta, Ga., has'been elected to the Camp Council at Brandeis Camp Institute located in Santa Susana, California. From 18 states throughout the nation and Canada, 65 young adults— aged 18 to 26—have gathered to learn more about their Jewish heritage. “To be good Americans we must be better Jews,” said Louis D. Brandeis, Supreme Court Judge, on whose principles the Institute was founded. At Bran deis the knowledge of the par ticipants varies radically. Some of them do not believe in God. Their lack of knowledge about religion and history is of great concern. Brandeis is operated to correct this situation. Just as there are some of the students with no faith in God, so are some of them deeply religious. The program includes lectures on Jewish history, the arts, Is rael, Hebrew classes, music, rec reation, and six specialized workshops which include drama, dance, music, ceramics, sculp ture, and creative writing. The camp is supported by private individuals: it is an independent organization. Every student who is selected to attend is awarded a $200 scholarship. During the four weeks of liv ing Judaism, BCI’ers have the opportunity to associate with famous instructors such as Raik- en Ben-Ari, drama director and one of the founders of Habima; Max Helfman, one of America's foremost musicalogists; Mr. and Mrs. Otto Natzler, world famous ceramists; Max Benoff, outstand ing TV writer, and Miki Benoff, distinguished Los Angeles sculp tor. Esther is a former president of Atlanta BBG No. 176, and hopes to be able to speak with some of the groups when she returns home in August. In September, Esther will begin her senior year at the Central Institute for the Deaf, in St. Louis, Missouri where she is studying to be a teacher of the speech handicapped.

A Log Book is being pre pared to record the activities of the Village, under the direction of Judy Stuzin. In addition to the Log Book each week the Village puts out the "Village Voice,” their own newspaper, under the editorship of Lynn Abrams. TAV also enjoyed trips to Cherokee and Lake Cascade. The closing program of the first session was a Havdalah service, and a L’hitraot party. Jewish Member in Dutch Cabinet Resigns THE HAGUE. (JTA)—Sydney J. van den Bergh, Minister of Defense and the only Jew in the Dutch Cabinet, sent his resignation to Queen Juliana here this week-end. The resig nation was caused by personal reasons.

While rehearsing and prepar ing for the musical this session, the campers nevertheless parti cipated in all of the regular camp activities. Almost every day, campers made trips to Lake Brantley. The boys and girls spent the day cooking lunch or supper and swimming under special supervision by the camp’s train ed waterfront staff. Each camp er has had at least one over night there. Opening with Marilyn Polia koff singing “Another Opening, Another Snow,” the Saturday night talent and variety show got off to a flying start. Supervised and arranged by Mike Katz, the show was emceed by Marvyn Cohen, Uene Bock, Albert Tuck, and Myron Mensh. Several campers put on skits and songs and in other ways ex hibited their talents. The Coun- selors-in-training — Eileen Tara toot, Jeannie Franco, Joy Ulin, Janice Trestman and Harriet Horn — presented a hilarious skit entitled “Ain’t Got the Money for the Mortgage on the Farm!” The Friday morning breakfast is a weekly event during which campers perform original skits and songs centered around a theme- this past Friday’s theme was “Living Legends.” The Old er Girls presented a take-off on the “Nutcracker Suite;” Young er Girls gave their version of “Peter and the Wolf.” The Younger Boys performed the "Sorcerer’s Apprentice,” and the Older Boys entertained with an original adaptation of “Robin Hood.’” Friday night Sabbath Services were held on the waterfront this week. Under the guidance of Howard Burnham, Richard Derman, and Fred Leffert, many campers took part in reading the service. Nan Landsman and Marcia Poliakoff began the ser vice with the blessings of the Sabbath candles. The kiddush was recited by Leon Lashner and Richard Lipton. Floating on the lake during this service was a huge, gold glittering Star of David. Amid all the singing, dancing, hammering and painting going on in preparation for “Briga doon,” 124 campers are actively participating in a varied camp program of hiking, overnight camping trips, cookouts, swims, boating (canoe, rowboat, ana motorboat), fishing, archery, riflery, and a host of other ac tivities.
