Annual Election of Directors To Be Held By Temple Brotherhood
(JUNE 21ST)
Great Rivalry JExists Between Two Opposing Teams As Contest Draws Near
DON'T FAIL TO BE THERE NEXT MONDAY EVENING
The Brotherhood of Temple Israel will hold its aiiinial election of directors next Monday evening June 2lst, in the Vestry rooms of Temple Israel at 8 o'clock; Every member of the Brotherhood is urged to be present on this 'auspicious occasion.
The contest which has been waging for, the past f^n days is niarkcd by tlie tremendous rivalry; between the mem¬ bers of the Blue and Red teams.   ;
On the red ticket, captained by Jerome Kohn, are the ifollpwing: Marcus' Bum- stine, Meyer Housman, Sam Berman, Abe Weinfeld, Dr. S, D. Edelmaiii Harry Zeiger; Dave .Levison, and Ben Ne'us- tadt.
Oil the Blue ticket, captained by,Hiram Cohen, are the following: Max H. Har¬ mon,' Leo Yassciioff, Ralph Rosenthal, Russell Joseph, Arthur Loeb, Dr. Mor¬ ris Goldberg, Arthur Isaac, and I. A, Click; ¦ ¦
There arc nine directors to be elected who, in turn, will elect the officers for the ensuing year.   ,
The' Blue Ticket lias been eiidtirsed by.leading citizens of the city and State iiicUiding the ' Thomas Clan. .(Mayor Thomas and Warden Thomas.) War¬ den Thomas, when approached by the CuKONicLE reporters, said, "I amheart- ily in favor of the Blue Ticket. In fact, if L,had;my choice, there is no one I would rather have under, me than the members of the Blue Ticket. They rep¬ resent the cream of Columbus Jewry." . The Red Tickiet has.been heartily en-, cloraed -by Governor A.-VicDonaheyand Max H.' Rieser, the John Wanamakcr of Columbus. Governor Donahey in a statenient just, issued says, "I have al¬ ways been opposed to the Reds on gen¬ eral principles, but I consider these boys on the Red ticket e-^ceptitfns to the rule. They are all intelligent, public-spirited, and forward-looking men. I hope they will win."      .     .
The tremendous activity of the men on each of these teams ,has necessitated the augn^enting of tlie-staff of "Hello Giris" at the telephone switch boards at the Franklin branch of the Ohio Bell Telephone Company.
The rival teams for election to the directorate of the Brotherhood will have charge of the program, of the evening and will compete for the favor and votes of the Brotherhood, both for the quality aiui snap of their entertainment an(,l general good time. .    :.
. So if you are a member of the Brother¬ hood and want to enjoy an unusually exciting evening ainidst congtinial good fellows, tlon't fail to be there Monday evening. There will be a special enter tainment program and appetizing re freshments will be served to all. .
"There's no help for it, Joe," de¬ clared Dave gloomily, ''I've got to go to jail."   ¦    "
'.'Didn't I tell you yoii'd be, caught with that coffee pot at 'Pete's Place' the other , night?" remiiidcd Joe."I saw liim looking right at you when you took it. I should think you'd know better than go around collecting 'souvenirs' at your age."
, "No^ it's not the coffee pot," Dave [issured ;,him. "And Pete, wouldn't put a student in jail if he wrecked the place. He'd just threaten to. But^^well, I've. got into debt." He named a sum which made even his optimistic chuin give a doleful whistle. . '
"I'm sorry," was all the co'mforl Joe could give Iiim. "But unless I'm might} careful myself my last check from home won't run me till the end of the quar¬ ter. And you set twice my'aliowjince. What did you do.-^ith it all?"
"I don't kno^v. Anyhow, I justdon't dare write home for more. My grades aren't going to be any too good this year, anyhow, and -if my dad ktiows Pve.'been throwing money around, too/ why it's all up with tne. He won't let me come back next yearj that's, all. So I've got to earn some money quick and pay up -what lowe; But ail the good jobs on the campus went like hot cakes the begin¬ ning of the year. I just, don't know what's going to happen to me.'

And once, when the proprietor and his oiie helper had been busy. Dave had actually shaved a complaining victim — who had never entered the shop again. Rut he did feel that be had had some experience.
"I worked for almost a yearin a bar¬ ber shop," he ari.sWered motlestly.
The little Freiichman almost \vept for joy. It was^ hard to get an expcrien6ed barber.in this neighborhood; as soon, as they could, they always deserted hiin for thd downtown shops^and Beauty Parlors ¦where wages were higher and tips were more frcquerit. Besides, 'Dave's reiined appearance, his smooth hair, his. highly polished shoes Won the man's artistic soulr Sueh.a boy Would grace any shop, he told himself, not allowing his en¬ thusiasm to render hirn reckless when he bargained with Dave over his salary and the hours he could spare from his classes. "But your reference?" he called after the' boy. ,
"I w'orkcd in a shop in my own town," pave clenched the matter. "Btit I think when you see me working, you wont need any reference;"  .
He spoke with inbre assurance than he felt. "But I've got brains and I can I,learn and maybe Joe will help me put a&

MR. SCHILLING TO PRE¬ SENT LEBADOFF AND ALL STAR CAST JUNE 28
Mr. R, Schilling will present Lebadoff and his famous all-star cast in a bril¬ liant comedy on Monday evening, Jmie 28th,- at'the Broadway Theatre.
Thpse who attended the previous per¬ formance of this splendid company will avail themselves of tickets immediately.

fi-iend, "I'd just, walk up one side of High street and down the other till I found something, to do. Anything., It's better, to get near the -campus 'cause they're used to hiring students.and they dpn't:ciipect so much of you. And you won't spend all you, make on carfare as though you were working down'town. Anyhow, it wont hurt to look for a job." ... " .
"It sure wont," agreed Dave .with niuch more assurance than he felt. "I know I'll land something good right o^."
But after tramping up and down High street;the next day he was less- sanguine, Nobody wanted a student,, it seemed; either they already, epiployed several, or they did their own work. One sweet little woman, who greeted him from be¬ hind the counter of the "Co-Ed Glove Shop" said that she, had thought of hir¬ ing an assistant'if the work got heavier around the holidays, hut she preferred a girl. If he knew any nice, girl he should send her right'along!
It was altinost supper^time when Dave —^ riot a little worried over a day pf ab¬ sence from his classes,, none of which he'could af?prd to cut just then—-saw his first sight of "Man Wanted." To be sure it was in.a barber shop,.an ele- grant place of shining nickel and white porcelain with a lovely chintz-hung cor¬ ner "For Ladies," but Dave hoped that tbey would .want a cashier or even a porter. He wasn't prpud,. he told him¬ self, aild by this time he was ready for anything. -     , .   ,     .
' Biit he \^lted when ,th6 s;hort puffy Frenchman with the waxed mustache ex¬ plained his n"eeds: "A first-class, all- around barber. I want an artistic one. We liave the best college trade in the neighborhood. I pay well but I: must have artistic work." He looked'Dave over doubtfully. "Have you had any experience in a barber shop?'
Dave was about to say "no," and go on with his seemingly fruitless, search; he hesitated ifpr a mPment and was lost. For he remembered how in his first year in high school he had been asked to play in the school orchestra, but his father had refused to buy him a saxophone. "A violin, yes, if you'll practice,", Mr. Bregstone had said firmly, "btit I've not got any ljard-earne4 money to waste on a saxophone I Why don't ypu go to work as I did when I was your agfe and pay for one yourself?"
So Dave had bought a beautiful, shin¬ ing saxaphone "on time,", actually pay¬ ing for it out of Uis allowance and the few dollars he earned weekly in the local

The nfext inorning Joe did not shave himself; , Ipstead, stretched out in the easy chair beside his study table, he meekly submitted while Dave lathered and, scraped and applied hot toWels in the most.professional fashion. "All, I need is practice," said Dave airily.
Well, all I can say is yoii'd better practice on strangers instead of your friends," growled Joe from the ^resser, where he stood applying sticking plaster to his chin.
LtickrWas with.Dave that first day and neither customers- nor employer of¬ fered a single-complaint. But two days later as he yawned' over an old- maga¬ zine, looking very spick and span in his white uniform, 'he was startled to. hear
familiar voice utter his,name. Look^ ing lip he gazed into the laughing eyes of his cousin,:Betty Golden, also a Fresh¬ man at State. A cousin, who after graduation might be persuaded to ^ con' sider. a more interesting relationship. .,
"Why, Betty," he stammered, "what are you doing here?"
*^l'"might ask you the- same question," she challenged teasingly,
"I'm working."' This with much dig¬ nity. "I thought it wouldn't hurt me to earn a.little extra as I went.along. And you know I had all that experience in the barber shop at home." This was for the stoiit Frenchman at the other end of the shop, busily shampooing an eld¬ erly professor,with such a scant topknot- that.hc should have been given the ser¬ vice for half price., "But if you want to talk to me aboiit anything'I .can come and see you after work."
".Thank ,^o« for the hint." A little haughtily. "I'm not hanging around a barber shop just for conversation." She slipped off hei^ little felt hat displ^yin^ her coils of golden-brown hair. "I've come in here for a bob." "The young lady wants; a bob?" squeaked the proprietor reaching for a hand spfay. ' "Certainly. Take her right in there," nodding toward the ere toned alcove.
"I think shcid prefer you," murninred Dave, cold with horror. To cut a man's hair for the first time would be difficult enough; but to shear away a girl's long locks. Especially Betty who would never forgive him if his inexperienced clipping left her an indisputable fright! "If you'll sit down and wait.
But Betty had already slipped into the

NEW- YORK —Preparations for "the twenty-ninth a,nni]al convention of the Zionist Organization of America are how fully under way. The convention will be held. this .year in Buffalo where the- local. Zionist ¦ district, in 'co-ojpera. Hon Vi'ith other Zionist bodies, is Jire- .paring a rousing welcome to the dele gates, more than 800 of, "whom are ex- .pected to participate in the sessions rep^ resenting Zionist districts, Hadassah chapters .and Camps of the Order'.Spiis of Zion. Additional.interest attaches;to the, present convention in view of the fact that for the first time since 1821, active participation in the deliberations will be takqn by former leaders of the movement including Judge Julian W. Mack, and, Dr. Stephen S. Wise.   ¦
The convention this year follows close upon'the heels of an ainnouncement con¬ tained in a, special message from' Dr. Weizmann to Dr. Wise, as. Chairman of the.United Palestine Appeal, reporting that statistics just coriipiled reveal the fact that the first hiindrcd thousand new Jewish settlers have entered , Palestine since the conclusion of the war.. That event is expected, to play a prominent part in Creating the atmosphere of the convention, since it illustrates vividly th? manner in which. the dreams of Harzl are being realized.
It is understood al50:that' the dcliberar tions are likely to bring Jo the surface number of political' issUes involving Jewish claims under the Palestine Man. date, vis-a-vis the Mandatory Power. The raising of these issues, is all the more probable, in view of the fact that the convention occurs almost simul¬ taneously with a session, of the Per¬ manent Mandates Commission of the League of Nations, in Geneva, where a special delegation of the Vaad Leumi of Palestine has proceeded for the pur¬ pose of laying similar clairiis^ before the commission. Both the position of the ¦Vaad Leumi and, the World Zionist, or¬ ganization, it is expected,, will, ..be strengthened by action that may be tiaken by the Zionists of America.
Louis Lipsky, chairman of the or¬ ganization, has just" returned from Lon¬ don where,, it is understood, he con¬ ferred with Dr. Weizmann and other leaders of the movement, with respect to the proposed loan for Palestine and other matters, of great moment. It expected tlwt Mr, Lipsky will report to the convention on those matters. '¦

At the opening 'session.of the Confer- ¦ ence of Jewish Social Service on Sun¬ day night, May 23rd, Louis M. Cahn of - Chicago,. the retired.

"At times," warned the speaker, "the ' strictly professional, technical outlook is ¦_ given   to   under-restiniatmg   either   per- ' sonal feeling or public opinion, or both. The professional worker, of course, is , also human and brings tp his work ideals of sympathy and kindness which are on a par with,the best of thft lay workei-s. But there is danger of the professional; workers   becoming  technicians,  and  of' „ not giving, sufficient weight to the simpie, personal elements.", '"i     ' ,
