The great Trumpet is aoundcdl
Tho New Year dawns with promises replete
With vows of sacrifioe and fulfillment,
With sclf-offacrment for the goal to be attained.
Sound ye trumpets, thrill ye horns
From one end of tho earth unto the other.
T'kiah,  t'ruah,  Sh'varlm! Awake ye tents of the di3p;?rsod There is a guerdon to be gained! l^, it is a statute ot larael, An ordinance ot the God of Jacob. Sound ye trujnpets for an end of hatred, For the fullness of Peace and Justice To all the denizens of the earth, Amen.

1 Rubenstein  Chairman of Agudas Achim Bond Appeal During High Holy Days
Rabbi Samuel W. Rubenstein. spiritual leader of Congregation Agudas Achim, has accepted chairmanship of hia synagogue's high holy day Israel Bond Appeal, it as announced this week by Abe A. Wolman, chairman of the Columbus Bonds for Israel campaign.
In hundreds of Jewish comn]iinltios this year, the third of the thrce- yoar Independence Bond Issue, a portion of the high holy day services are being aet aside so that appeals from the pulpit for Iara,el Bonds can be made. Rabbinical and lay leaders recognize Israel's urgent need for Inveatment dollars In her battle for economic independence and well- being.
Tho Rabbinical Council of Ameri¬ ca, representing the Orthodox Rab binatc in a resolution paaaod at its 17th annual convention called upon "all congregations in the U. S. to support the campaign of the Bonda for Israel government by holding special appeals during tho coming high  holy day services."
LATEST   INFORMATION   on
major communities and their par¬ ticipation in the high holy day Ap. peal, shows that in Baltimore, 47 synagogues have already acheduled Appeals during Roah Hashonah and Yom Kippur, and in Philadel¬ phia, under the chairmanship of Rabbi Leon S. I-ang, 50 congre¬ gations will make the holy day ef¬ fort.
Peraona in Columbus are urged to buy their Bonds now and not necessarily to wait until the high holy day Appeal. This can be done by contacting either Rabbi. Ruben¬ stein at Agudas Achim. DO. 2747, or Abe A. Wolman, Columbus chairman. MA. 5471.
A GREAT DEAL, in the way of
planning, advice and help in con¬ nection with the high holy day Ap¬ peal, has come from the following individuals  :

N'KW VOUK. (JTA)—The 5(llh annual convention of Ihe Zionist Organization of America conclu(ied here with re-election o f Rabbi Irving Miller as president and with the adoption of a resolution ui><inK that the next World Zionist Congress should, for the first time in Zionist his¬ tory, be heltl in the U. S.
In another resolution, the conven¬ tion took note of the fact that the executive of the Jewish Agency haa before it several proposals looking toward its enlargement through the inclusion of non-Zlonlst Individuals who are concerned with Israel's welfare. The convention recom¬ mended that "In furtherance of ita alma to draw these pro-Israel e!e- ments into its work," the Jewish Agency executive "ahould explore plana to that end apart from the enlargement of the Agency.'through the appointment of a apecial com¬ mittee consisting of representatives of all Zionist parties, which ahould ' be directed to submit Its recom- I mendatlona to the next World Zion- j ist Congress."
At the Hi\tnf' time, the conven. Iton   retLffirmed   its   support   for
; the Htrengtiiening of the Ameri¬ can Zionist ('ouncil and the ex¬ pansion of its activitieH. It also exprcfised the view that the As- Keinhly of American Zionists, which'Ih to be convened on Dee.
i 5 by the AZC, should not be In¬ vested with any legislative pow-
!   ers   affecting  the   structure  and
I autonomy of existing Zionist bodies.
In another resolution, the con¬ vention called upon the U. S. Gov¬ ernment to urge the Arab states "to engage in dlrt?ct peace nego¬ tiations with Israel." The resolu¬ tion emphasized that American Zionists "are unalterably opposed" to the supply of arms to any of the Arab states as long as they persist in their refusal to come to terms with Israel.
