OFFICERS OF ZION LODGE ARE LAUDED FOR THEIR SPLENDID EFFORTS
"A   most   consummate   success"   was the concensus of opinion in re the I. O. B. B. Minstrel Show presented to a ca- | pacity house last Tuesday evening, May i 0, at the K. of C Hall, filh and  State I Streets.     . ' i
The enthusiastic approval of every'' member of the large and representative \ audience was eminently well-deserved,, for every song, dance, monologue, dia-, loguc and sketch was "put across big."
The entire cast created thc impression that it had liack of it real genuine Jialent, young men who would make a "big hit" even as professionals. There is no ques¬ tion, but that this show was the biggest and best performance ever "put over" by any Jewish body in Central Olito. \

Efforts of S. W. Reilly ¦ Much credit for the successful con- sutnmation of the performance is due to the indefatigable efforts and remarkable ingenuity of 'the General Director and Coach, Mr. S. W. Reilly. From the very first night he got every one together for rehearsing, he inspired Ihe cast with-con¬ fidence and enthusiasm.' He left no stone unturned, working faithfully and untiringly until thc entire thing was ¦over Tuesday evening at 10:4.". Of course Mr. Reilly was extremely fortu¬ nate to have such, wonderful talent to work with as Dr. Louis J. Roth, Ben DeGroote, Abe Weinfeld and David P. Sheinbart, Abe Berliner and Henry H. Hersch.
Every one of these End Men did his individual part in a most delig(htful way. That the audience was highly pleaseil was evidenced by thc many spontaneous outbursts of applause and the many in- sistant demands for encores. Doc Roth's work received special adulation. He per¬ formed like a genuine artist—a real pro¬ fessional. His way of ,"putting things across" was absolutely irresistible.
Extraordinary Energy
Ben DeGroote's work was marked by extraordinary energy, vim and pep. In every word and gesture was the spirit of a star comedian.
David P. Sheinbart also came in for lots of uproarious outbursts of satisfac¬ tion. He sang "California, Here I Come" with the klash and vigor of Al Jolson himself, •
Abe Weinfeld won his auditors' atten¬ tion and good will from the moment his voice was heard. In his dialogues with Dave Sheinbart, his work was very grat¬ ifying. His rendition of "Sweet Henry" could not have been done better by a professional.
Abe Berliner proved to be a genuine old-time En^ Man. His singing and acting thruout the show evoked laugh¬ ter and approval on all sides.

(Special to Ohio Jewish Chronicle) NEW YORK-Dr. Chaim Weiz¬ mann. on the eve of his departure for London on the last lap of the world cir¬ cle from Jerusalem to San Francisco and back to Jerusalem', was given an enthusiastic farewell by the Zionist Or¬ ganization of America at a mass meeting held in the Hotel .Astor last Thursday night. Dr.- Weizmann following his five months' visit to America, during which his journey took him to the Pacific coast, sailed Tuesday. Over one thousand Zionists filled the
hundred more,.an.Kious to hear the lead¬ er's farewell message, were turned away.
In his address Dr. Weizmann sounded a clairion call to renewed effort on the part nf the Zionists and emphasized 'that until thc organization of the Jewish .Agency is completed in America and Europe, ready to take over the recon¬ struction of Palestine, the entire duty and responsibility for the rebuilding of the Jewish Homeland rests - upon, the Zionists.
"Until the Jewish Agency is built up here, and in Europe, and until these two parts are (.'ombined, ready to take over the burden of the reconstruction of Pal¬ estine, this -work is the entire responsi¬ bility of the Zionists and ot the Zionist Organization," Dh Weizmann declared.
"As this work cannot be stopped,for a single second — it has got to go on, it must go on — then tlie Zionists must pa¬ tiently and faithfully carry the entire burden as nobly as they have borne it hitherto.
"The guarantee for the ultimate suc¬ cess of the building'up of the Jewish -Agency out of the various elements of Jewry rests only on one thing — in the sustained and continued effort of the Zionists to go on with-their work. 'I say, and not in a disparaging sense, if not for the years of effort which preceded the war, which have been going on since the war, if not for the actual achievements in Palestine against heavy and difRcult o<lds, we would not be iti a position to- (Concluded on page 4)

MY MOtHER Of all the 'words of tongue or pen, Of all the thoughts of mortal men, Therb is no word, there is no thought So dear to me as thtlt one taught. At childhood's dawn, Long years agone: That precious word, with visions fraught. Is "Mother."
The dayis are many since she pressed My baby head upon her breast; The months have gone with flying feet — Our youthful years aTe all too fleet: But calm and clear I still can hear The voice of her -~ than life more sweet —' My mother.' f
Not always have I walked the way '
She taught to me, from day to day; Sometimes I may have scorned her care. And niade her burden hard to bear; But here, this hbisr— God grant me pmtjetl I'll walk her way, I'l|..^eied her prayer— , . And make her,jj1r3;>f4t'''»-t -i ...     .

His Appeal for Support of U.

SPIRIT OF CHICAGO MTa HAS PERMEATED EVERY SECTION OF COUNTRY
(Special to Ohio Jewish Chronicle)    I.
NEW YORK. —David A. Brown, chairman of the Committee on Finance to raise funds to meet the budgetary needs of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations for the coming year, has just sent a message of optimism to Re¬ form Jewry in America in which he tells of the encouraging response his appeal for support has received from congrega¬ tions throughout the country. Mr. Brown was appointed chairman of a special committee to secure funds, after the special Council of thc -Union which met in Chicago failed to pass an amend¬ ment to the constitution assessing con¬ gregations a percentage of their dis¬ bursements, as inco^ie for 'the Union. A resolution was unanimously adopted at that time to whiclj every delegate present, representing the Reform con¬ gregations affiliated with the Union, pledged to secure from his congregation a sum equal to the amount his congre¬ gation would have been assessed, so that the Union would liavc funds for the continuance of its fictivities for the current year. A special committee with Mr. Brown at the head was appointed to carry this resolution into effect.
Mr. Brown immediately at the close of the Council, sent letters and telegrams to delegates, presidents, and rabbis, re¬ minding them of this pledge, and point¬ ing out the urgent need of funds. The message of optimism which he sent out last week was prompted by the encour¬ aging response he received td'his ap¬ peal.   His letter follows:

ZETA BETA TAU FRATERNITY TO HOLD PARENTS' DAY
AND TOWN DAY
Sunday, May llth, many mothers from out of town as well as those who reside licre will visit at the Zeta Beta Tau Fra¬ ternity house on'the occasion of Parentis bay, the Fraternity's annijal affair.
This year, because Mothers' Day comes at the same time, morning services will be held at the chapel and a member of the Fraternity will deliver an address on "Mothers."5 A dinner will be served at twelve-thirty o'clock'.
Invitations have been sent out for the Annual Town Day to.be held at the Zeta Beta Tail house, Sunday, May 18th. Friends and patrons of the Fraternity will be tendered a dintier at twelve- thirty o'clock and the boyswill be at home alt day to visitors,
Mrs. Morris Resler, treasurer; and the Mesdames Paul Feinknopf, Frank Glick, A. Goldberg, Al H. Harmon, Max Har¬ mon, Russell Joseph, Erwin Rosenthal, Riva Silberstein, B. E. Tushbant, M. F. Wallach, John Wilson and M. L. Yuster, directors.
Reports for the year of the committee chairmen were given in a novel manner. A large year book was placed upon the stage and as Miss Coryne Basch, presi¬ dent of the Junior Council Auxiliary, opened it, each officer and committee chairman came out in turn and read her report, Mrs. Jerome Kohn, president, in¬ troducing each one by a clever little verse. Mrs. Simon Lazarus, chairman of the Needlework Guild appeared dressed in a nurse's costume with baby garments pinned to her apron. A bit of comedy was used by'Mrs. George Goodman, in^ presenting her report on the. Year Book.
Mrs. Henry H. Hersch opened the meeting with a beautiful piano solo, "Autumn," by Shamiriade. Mrs. Simon Lazarus, Mrs. Max Harmon, Mr. Ralph McCall and Mr. R. Brown rendered several selections from Madame Butter¬ fly and, La Boheme, accompanied by Mrs, Samuel Richard. Gaines. The closing prayer for the afternoon was made by Mrs. Harry Friedenberg, retiring chairman of Religion. Mrs. Max Har¬ mon was in charge of the afternoon's program.
It was decided that the organization endow a bed at the Childrens' Hospital and provide for its nprkeep, and that a cash donation be sent to the Denver Jewish Hospital.

out shortly aher our Chicago meeting'.,
"Already on my desk I have a com¬ plete picture of a cross section of the country, and that picture is one that should make you and every other Jew interested in Reform Judaism extremely happy.
"While at the convention in Chicago there were opposing views on the plan presented for financing the Union, yet the responses which have come to me are all in agreement with the suggestion that the budget of the Union be met by each-congregation assuming as its obli¬ gation, the amount which it would have paid under the plan withdrawn.
"Not only do these letters sound an optimistic note towards solving our eco¬ nomic problems but they contain other matter which strikes me as being most important.
"It is very evident that the spirit of our Chicago meeting, whicli touched the highest peaks of idealism, has permeated every section of this country. Practi¬ cally every letter insists that we shall go on doing the big things, the fine things that are so necessary in every commu¬ nity in this land.
I believe that I can say to you now, based upon the responses which I have before me, that the budget of the Union will be met this year, not because peo¬ ple had to participate, but because they wanted to participate.
"In writing you in this spirit, I do so that you may. pass on to those you meet daily my word of optimism and encour¬ agement. Each 61 us acting individually and ail of us acting collectively can in the next few weeks do an exceptionally fine piece of work for the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, and in doing so, help make for a finer Jewish spirit in tbis country."
