The chief speaker of thc evening wa'; Sidney G. Kusworm, of Dayton, a mem¬ ber of thc Executive Committee of the Independent Order of B'nai B'rith ^nd a lifelong friend of Brother Schanfar¬ ber. In a most touching and inspiring fashion he depicted the activities of thc Order in all its ramifications. He spoke of the assistance rendered to the pov¬ erty-stricken, the aid given to those suf¬ fering from persecution, and the per¬ sonal attention §iven to those in dis¬ tress. He pointed out the many insti¬ tutions throughout the length and breadth of the United States which owe their inception to and are maintained by the B'nai B'rith.
"Through its unselfish work it has established a reputation as the leading Jewish Fraternal Order in the World," asserted Mr. Kusworm. He then re¬ viewed the services to Jews and Judaism rendcretl by Mr. Schanfarber and ex¬ tolled him for bis undying allegiance to all that is noble, true, and fine. Before closing his address Mr. Kusworm paid tribute to the unique manner in which Zion Lodge's degree team performed its sacred duties and brought out the fact that "this team is undoubtedly the fincit one in the United States." He then officially presented thc newly initi- atal Edwin J. Schanfarber class to the guest of honor, expressing his joy that "this was being done during tlie life time of my beloved friend,"
In his reply. Brother Schanfarber ex¬ pressed his fervent thanks for the co¬ operation he has always received from the community and especially for the honor accorded him during the evening. He emphasized the achievements of the B'nai B'rith in the building of sterling chsractcrs among our people and ex¬ plained that it was this phase of B'nai B'rith work that interested him in par¬ ticular.
The meeting was extraordinarily well attended, representatives being present from every element in tlie community. Everyone seemed to be imbued with the spirit of thc occasion and as the audi¬ tors listened to the exalted and sublime thoughts enunciated by the degree team they realized the high plane of endeav¬ or to which the I. O. B. B. is com¬ mitted.
Dr. Morris Goldberg, President of Zion Lodge, presided over the large gathering and explained in his opening remarks the purpose for which the meet¬ ing was arranged.
Miss Ruth Eleanor Stern presented several organ selections and also played appropriate pieces during the initiation ceremonies.
This Was the first time that Zion L(Hlfie held an open initiation in the pri¬ vate lodge rooni of the local Elks' club. The facilities of this beautiful hall lent a certain dignitj and eclat to the occa¬ sion,
One of the features of the evening were the two duets rendered by Cantors Grodner and Frecdman, both of which were very well rcceiveiL
