Here's a sad comnienlai'y on the callousness of man these days . . . The announcement by a rep¬ resentative of the British Sec¬ tion of the World Jewish Con¬ gress In London that a million Jews have died as a direct result of Nazi persecution has called forth practically no reaction in the American press.

for the delegates by Ihe Illinois Selective Service Administration. It is estimated that DO percent of the delegates registered al these Iiooth.s for war service. Ten percent of Ihe 17-21 group In Aleph Zadlk Aleph were re ported as having voluntarily joined fhe nation's armed forces by February 1, 1042. AZA offi¬ cials estimate that 2.500 mem¬ bers are in active service already. The conferences replaced the 19ih annual convention, origin¬ ally scheduled to he held on the campus of the University of New Hampshire. To save tens of thousands of tire, miles of rub¬ ber and thousands of gallons of gasoline that would have been used up by the 600 delegates in driving to the usual week-long convention, the convention was cancelled as a war measure and a war service conference limited lo 175 delegates, convened there.
Each year Columbus Jewry has shown that il can, in a United effort, succeed in producing results worthy of a community of which wc can be proud. This year, from present indications, will be no exception.

Schanfarber, president of the United Jewish Fund, announced that the 1942 Campaign' was an outstanding success and when some 200 or more subscription cards are turned in, the amount raised will ex¬ ceed (he goal set for (his year. In the meantime mopping up squads will condnue (heir work until every Jewish citi¬ zen in (he community, who is able (o participate in this worthy cause, will have been contacted.

The Rabbi has been notified of his appointment as a speaker on the Army Camp Program of the National Conference of Chri-stians und Jews.
