Thi^ and That
For tlie aiitlior of tlmt inevitable book on "KliOstiiig." there is the story told by K:ibbi Wise at tlic Zionist.conference to protest restrictions oii Palestine immigra¬ tion.
Saitl Dr, Wise: "Nathan Stratis in preparation for a public speech woukl have one of us write his speech, When tlic occasion arrived, and he would be called on, Straus would take out the manuscript and Ijesin to read. About half -throtiKh, he would toss it aside in front of the public saying: "This is no Kood. Wise wrote it. Now I'll give you a good speech' and he would begin to speak extemporaneously."
'Concernin-,' this entire matter of Jew¬ ish immigration into Palestine, it is; in¬ teresting to note that much of the oppo- ¦ sitioii to Jewish immigration is based on the professed argument that Jews, in Palestine do not give Arab.s employment as farm workers and iiy construction work and other fields of manual labor. The ironic note in' the whole thjug- is this: that in the old days, it wa^ said that Jews would not care to do any man¬ ual work themselves. Novy the charge is that they want to do all of it.
Not so many years ago, G. K. Ches¬ terton, who is by no means too friendly to Jews, wrote that Palestine would be a success if the Jews did their own mus¬ cular work, but that you couldn't call Palestine a success if the Jews got the Arabs to do all the dirty -work, so to speak. Chesterton went on to put it qpi- grammatically in something of the fol¬ lowing f.^.shion; "Palestine will be a suc¬ cess, if the Jews climb down the ladder, not to the top," And now the opposition to Jewish immigration into Palestine is that the Jewf insist on climbing down the ladder.
I^ocal Members ol Hadassah
Were Honored at Meeting
Held in Cincinnati
Not such a bad story was told at the "coflfec-klatcli" after the conference by Morris Margulies, Secretary of the Zion¬ ist Organization, Oif the Jewi.sh Com¬ munist in Russia, whose wife anticipated a blessed event.   .
The Jew was a Communist, but still, after all, one was a Jew, and here was the dilemma. How could he as a Cgm- niunist reconcile the religious rite of cir¬ cumcision, which would soon be neces sary with his Communist principles.
The Jew was much distraught. His hands shivered. His face grew pale, as he paced the floor, awaiting the delivery of the child.
Finally, the event occurred and the Jew was seen issuing hurriedly from the room, exclaiming: "Gott hot geholfen. Es is a maidel."    (It*s a girl.)
Election of Officers at the close of the conference of the Central States tle- gionals of Hadassah and Junior Iladas¬ sah in Cincinnati last week-end, brought one honorary oflice and three active posi¬ tions to local members,

And then there is the story we heard of the Jewish movie actor, whose father was committed to strict economical ideas. The son however was liberal with liis money after the customary fashion of sons. .Moreover, the son, now receiving a very generous salary, felt that his father should be clad in better fashion. So it happened, that one day, Papa in New York received from son in Holly¬ wood, a beautiful overcoat. To fiuiet his father, the son wrote that the over¬ coat which had actually stood him §100 had cost *20.fl0. "
Several days later, son in Hollywood received a telegram; **Send six. more overcoats.   Sold last one for $30."

INPAN'ra' HOME OF OHIO
Good stqries are still occurring in real life too, despite depressions, and such things.
And wc think the fact that "L'Affaire Jones" by Hillel Bernstein has become a best seller in one of such.
About four years ago, Bernstein .wrote
a slory which Harpers published.   They
liked the story so well, they advised the
author to expand, it into a hook.    Uern-

HILLEL BOARD TO HONOR
DR. SACHAR AT DINNER
SUNDAY
The board of directors pf the Hillel Foundation of which. Mrs. Lawrence Loewenstein, 1^5 Franklin Park, South, is chairman, will honor Dr, A. L. Sachar, National Director of Hillel Foundations, at a dinner Sunday noon at the Dutch Tavern, A reception in honor of Dr. Sachar will be held at 3 p. m. the same afternoon at the Hillel Foundation, OG Enst 18th avenue.
Continuing its policy to present only high-class draiiiatic productions, Hillcl Players have ¦ selected Noel Coward's comedy, "Hayfever," as their winter pro¬ duction to be given Thursday and .Sat urday evenings, February 15 and 17 al University chapel.
This is the first time in the history of the jilayers that they wi'l produce a full length cotnedy. ¦ In the past they have been unable to find any really high class production. "Hayfever" is regarded as one of Coward's best, and has always enjoyed successful runs whenever pro¬ duced. ¦
Recently, the Players' club of this city gave this play and it was well received. So as to further improve the standard of Hiilei performances, i\fiss Margaret Crawford, who starred in "Hayfever" when, the Players' club produced it, has been,secured as coach.
The cast chosen includes some familiar names to Hillel's regular patrons. Three Columbus girls, Ester Levinson, Esther Polster and Yetta Geichinah will be found in feminine roles, as will Goldie Dworken and Ruth Goldstein, both of CIcvelaiid. ' Jerry Schwartz, Max Stem, Bert Marks, and Richard Shaman will enact the masculine characters.
Louis Greenblatt, business manager of the Players, urges the Columbus Jewish community to remember the dates, JFehr ruary 15 and. 17 and also reauests that other Jewish organizations refrain from scheduling important affairs on those nights. The Players havi: not always re¬ ceived the support due them because of these interferences. The group is gener¬ ally regarded as one of the leading dra¬ matic organizations in the city, and, it would seem no more than fair that it be possible for as many pe6ple to see the production on. these days.

I. W. GAREK
The fact that last ,ycar the lodge made excellent progress is to a great extent due to the splendid cfTorts o£ I. W.-Garek;*-incoming vice president of Zion Lodge.

Everything augurs well for a big year for Zion Lodge in 103-1 and when the word "finis" is written at tile conclusion of the year, Zion Lodge ought to be able to boast a niembership of approximately (iOO, with funds in its treasury, with, a friendly and cooperative spirit existing between the various groups in Columbus, with a tremendous amount of good-wiU between Jew and Gentile, and Columbus proud of its lodgel
