"Nb doubt,'!.gags a wag "Herr Goeb¬ bels is now forging ahead on documents to prove that the Low Countries were planning to invade Germany" . . .

Any¬ way, Miss Holmes Insists that Italy won't  enter  the war be¬ fore the last week of July, and that her entry will mean a great disappointment for Hitler . And that from July    22nd    to August 10th will be a very bad period for Hitler personally . . From this you can take what ever consolation it can bring to offset what's in the papers these days ...

The selection of Columbus as host to the 89th annual convention in 1941 and the election of I. W. Garek, well known attorney of this city, as second vice-president, were among the highlights of District No. 2 B'nai B'rith conven¬ tion iield during the past week at the Commodore Perry Hotel in Toledo, 0. More than 500 delegates from eight states comprising the district were in attendance at the three day session which also included the 7th annual women's grand lodge convention.
In  the keynote address  Sun¬ day, J. Eugene Farber, district president,   described   American Jewry as the beacon of the oji- pressed    among    their    people everywhere, just as America is the standard   bearer   of   social ideali.sm for the whole world. Stresses   Rosponsibillty He   pointed  to  the  great  re¬ sponsibility   and   burdens   that fall upon the Jewish people of this country In   a   time   when their kindred are persecuted in Europe   where   some   parts   of 20th    Century   civilization    are more brutal than the dark ages "We   owe   the   persecuted   a sacred  duty   to  bear   aloft  the| proud light of our heritage, so that all of them may see it clear¬ ly and be inspired by It to go
Contacting Every Alien In Columbus
Aim Of Council Citizenship Committee
Due to the large amount of antlallen legislation proposed during the past few weeks, the Americanization and Citizen¬ ship committee of the Council of Jewish Women is making a concerted effort to reach as many aliens as possible in an attempt to assist them In filing their citizenship  papers.
Among the proposed anti-alien measures are federal registra¬ tion and fingerprinting of all aliens, disbarment from many types of work and general strict supervision. This sentiment
may be expected to increase.
The Council of Jewish Wo¬ men is calling attention to the following facts:
1) The nncomfortaWe posi¬ tion In which all aliens may soon be placed.
2) At tho Bchonthal Center, 55S B. Rich St., free services ore available every Monday, Tnes- day, Wednesday and Thursday nights In answering questions on citizenship. In procuring nec¬ essary tacts and tbe alien may have forgotten and especially In helping till ont and tile citizen, ship papers.
3> Free night and day classes at Bchonthal CcDtcr are open to those who care to attend,
4) Anyone who Is at all -ud- certain   about   his   citizenship Goldberg and 'should check on it at once. In| chairman
this connection attention Is cal led to the fact that American women who married aliens be¬ fore Sept. 22, 1922 lo.st their citizenship throngh marriage and are not citizens unless they have since (lied papers (even though tbelr husbands have since become naturalized.) Allen women who married American citizens since Sept. 22, 1922 did not gain citizenship tbrongh such marriage but must file thoip'own papers.
Organizations assisting the Council of Jewish Women in this work include the B'nai B'rlth with B. B. Friedman in charge of the local Americani¬ zation committer and Frank V. Bayer, Americanlzatlonl vice chairman of this district of B'nai B'rith; the B'nai B'rith Women's Auxiliary under the leadership of Mrs. Dave Goodman and the Jewish War Veterans headed by David Pastor.
Assisting on the Council of Jewish Women's American|iza- tlon committed are Mesdames A. J. Pworsky, Meyer Ginsburg, William Schiff, E J Gordon, E M Gordon. Herman Lelverman, Harold Schiffman, Stanley Schwartz, Jerome Freundiich, Daftiel Cohen, Abe Yenkln, Jack Resler, A B. Weinfeid, I L '    Frank   Bentley,

For hfs unselrish aevot!,t>n to B'nai Brith—as secretary and president of felon Lodge, as head of the State Assn, and member of the general committee of the Order, I. W. Garek, well known local at¬ torney, was this week honor¬ ed by his election as second vice president of District No. 2, B'nai B'rith. His eleva¬ tion to the presidency will come three years hence-
Mr. Garek's name was pre¬ sented to the delegates by Jus¬ tin L. Slllman, law associate and past youthful president of the district.
We congratulate Mr. Garek on this occasion and we know that he will be a credit to the district and to every cause in which he participates.
