of the best known books on the prob-
lem our country faces in the days that
lie ahead. Mrs. Hogue is an eloquent,
well informed and dynamic speaker
and she is thoroughly acquainted with
the subject she will discuss.
This will be the last session of the
Book Forum, which is now in its 17th
year, and which has become one of the
most distinguished institutions in the
cultural life of Houston.

be due, also, to the herring and pota-
toes which are guaranteed to be in the
splendid tradition of Southern hospi-
tality and will live up fully to the rep-
utation which our Men’s Club has a-
chieved in the field. The fact that Frank
Hamovit will be in charge is your guar-
antee of excellence.
All paid up members of the Men’s
Club will be our guests on that occas-
ion and those who are not yet mem-
bers are cordially invited to come and
pay their dues so that they may join
with us on this gala occasion.
The event is open to men only, but
guests, including ladies, are cordially
welcome to come for the entertainment
at 8 p. m.

their families. Women and children
can certainly come; also those men
who are not employed by others
and whose time is their own.
An hour and a half is not too
much time to give to our people and
our faith on the most sacred day of
the week. It will bring infinite
blessings to you and to your family
if you can take that time out and
sit together in the Synagogue with
your fellow Jews worshipping the
God of Israel and of mankind.
Try it once and you will want to
do it regularly every Saturday. We
will be seeing you.
This Sabbath morning will mark
a historic departure in the tradi-
tional ritual of Beth Yeshurun.
For the first time, we shall con-
duct a Sabbath morning service
that will be truly modern in every
sense of the word; and, at the same
time, fully traditional. The service
will begin at 10:30, the reading of
the Torah will be cut to one-third
its usual length, giving more time
for a thorough explanation of what
is to be read; there will be more
Congregational singing, more read-
ings in English and some approp-
riate English hyms. It will be a ser-
vice that will be intelligible to all
of our people.
Now there will be no excuse for
not attending these services reg-
ularly and we expect that all the
members of our Congregation will
make every effort to come, and to
make coming a habit.
Conservative Judaism is not on-
ly a name or a phrase; it is a dy-
namic philosophy of Jewish life.
Its purpose is to save and to streng-
then the ancient, hallowed and in-
finitely precious traditions of our
faith. Foremost among these are
the institutions of the Sabbath and
of public worship. Those of our
Congregation who are sincere in
their belief in Conservative Juda-
ism will make it a habit to come
not only on Friday evenings but
also on Sabbath mornings with
s. o. s.
This was the international dis-
tress signal sent out by ships at
sea. It is a signal today for a des-
perate human appeal being sound-
ed in Europe. Two hundred and
fifty thousand Jewish survivors in
D. P. Camps are appealing for a
chance to live and rebuild. You can
come to their aid now through S.
O. S. collections.
They won’t give up now. They
are busy learning new trades, re-
learning old ones, working and
studying for the time when they
will, once again, be self-sustaining
with homes, jobs and families. But
to plan and build for tomorrow,
they need our help today. They
need food, and clothing; milk, fruits
meat and fish to give them strength;
shoes, sweaters, suits and coats to
protect them from the bitter win-
ter. Bring canned food and clothes
to Beth Yeshurun, Crawford and
Lamar. Also remember your cash
contributions buy milk, food and
groceries here for babies over there.
So please send them in now. For
further information call Mrs. I.
Horn, J. 2-7139 write to 2208 Pros-
pect, or bring your contribution to
Beth Yeshurun.
We want to take this opportuni-
ty to thank all those who have con-
tributed in the past and we hope
that they will continue to give in
the future.
Mrs. Sam Weiss and Mrs. Rose
Ploss, in charge of packing and
sending, would like to have some
additional help in packing. Please
call Mrs. Weiss at L. 6028, if you
would like to volunteer.
M. M. SOCIETY SPONSORS
MOTHER'S DAY PROGRAM
Of interest to members of Congrega-
tion Beth Yeshurun is the Annual

gram and all are cordially invited to
