A very pretty girl handed us an invitation td a party being given by .the Brooklyn College' club of A YD... The big thrill of a, very pleasant evening came^ for us, when' a group of stu¬ dents drafted one of their num¬ ber, a Negro, to lead them in a community sing...His first se¬ lection was "Zum Gall Gall", which you should recognize as a popular Palestinian folk song...

.[. G. Holland has told us:— "God give us men.  A time like
this demands ' Strong minds, great hearts,
true faith and ready hands! Men  whom  the lust of office
does  not  kill. Men whom the spoils of office
cannot buy Men who  possess opinions .and
a will. Men who love honor, /nen who
cannot lie". In the opinion of the Judges of the local B'nai B'rith Sanford I. Lakln Memorial Award, there are but .very few indeed in the Columbus Jewish community who cah measure up to the high standard set by this poet, but one of those who does is that man, Allen Gundersheimer. To know him is to admire, to re¬ spect and to love, because far above all, of his other splendid qualities there stands out that characteristic which marks him as one who loves his fellowmen and who will make every effort to serve and to help tliem—a great citizen and outstanding Jew-. ^
It is on this basis of evaluat¬ ing the man foi^ his meritorious service to the coiftmimity that
