President of Federation Sends Appeal to Subscribers Dear Sir:— I am writing this letter to you, because! want you to know of the condition'that exists in Omaha, which you will be able to remedy. I wish you would read every word of this letter, as it is of great importance to you and the rest of our community. The facts are that the Jewish Welfare Federation is in very bad financial straits, because we have not received the support from you and others that we had a right to expect. Today, we are unable to issue checks to those who are dependent upon us—widows and children cannot receive their weekly allowance because we have no funds ip the bank to meet their demands. We borrowed monejf last month to tide us over, expecting that collections this month would help, but they have not come in. ; - Under the circumstances, I must ask for humanity's sake and in the name of charity to send your check ati once for the balance due to the Jewish Welfare Federation. I trust that my appeal will not only meet with your approval but that you will respond nobly to this great'cause. " .Very truly yours, (Signed);" WM. L. HOLZMAN, President, Jewish Welfare Federation.

SUBSRIPTION PRICE, A YEAR, $2.50 ZIONISM GROWING IN RUSSIA, JEWISH COMMUNIST ASSERTS Riga, (J. T. A. Mail Service.)—"The Zionist flag has become the concentration point for the Jewish middle class in Soviet Russia." This statement is made by the well-known Jewish Communist Sudarsky, in an article which appeared in "Der Stern", the Yiddish Communist paper of Charkoff. Sudarsky attempts to console his fellow Communists that the rapid development of Zionism in Russia is not due so much to love of Palestine as to antagonism toward the Soviet Government. He calls upon the Communists to take drastic measures against the spread of the Zionist movement.

I I Break Ground After Month's Stay Big Tents Will be Pulled Down Early Monday Morning SUNDAY WILL BE SPECIAL VISITORS' DAY Camp Morris will break ground Monday morning and the many boys who have been taking their vacations out in the open will again go back to their daily toils. Sunday afternoon will be visitors day and as usual many visitors are expecting to view the camp. Early Monday morning the four big tents will be taken down and •will be stored away for next year when it is planned that the camp will be twice as large and will be maintained for the summer. During the entire time of operating the camp there has not been one serious case of illness and every boy has gained in weight. Every boy upon entering and leaving the camp was examined by Dr. I. Soifer, who has been at the camp constantly. "The camp has been the talk of the town and many visitors, both Jew and non-Jew have pronounced Camp Morris Levy as one of the most sanitary camps in: the country," said Nathan E. Green, director. Even during the recent rains, the boys were not bothered, all of this because of the. wood floorings built on a foundation." The Camp now boasts of a champion swimmer in Manny Silver, 14 year old youngster. Young Silver before entering the camp could swim but fifty feet but after careful practice advice, Silver can now swim the entire lake or a distance of one mile and a half. As a special attraction, Silver -will swim the lake Sunday afternoon for the many visitors. Besides being in the open and enjoying the Mother Nature, the boys have been greatly benefited by the meals being served by Mrs. S. Nathan who Jias taken an active interest in the boys. and who . is constantly on the watch for better things for the boys. . .. . After completing each full day of activities, the boys gather around the camp fire at evening, telling storios or singing their favorite songs until 9:30 when all lights must be out at camp.
Denver Society Invites Visitors to View Sanitarium If you are going West or Northwest this year, you will most certainly pass through Denver, the capital city of Colorado. It is the gateway to nearly all America's beautiful natural scenery, and is itself prettily situated at the foot of the Rockies. Denver is the tourist's Mecca. To go West without passing thnragh Denver and Colorado is like touring; Europe without visiting Paris. One point of great interest in Denver is the Sanatorium of the Jewish Consumptive Belief Society, the largest Jewish tuberculosis samtorium in the world, and one of the largest hospitals in America. Tbs Sanatorium—a miniature city with four hundred and fifty inhabitants, a library, post office, theatre, synagogue and newspaper—is a sight no one should miss. The Jewish Consumptives' Relief Society extends a cordial invitation t$ all tourists to come and visit' the institution. BESTOWING OF IMPORTANT PRIZES ON JEWS CAUSES CONSTERNATION Berlin, (J. T.
