Starting with this issue the Jewish. Press inaugurated a new regular feature which is outstanding in the realm of Anglo-Jewish journalism—"Telling It in Gath," by Rabbi Louis I.

Officials of the historical society immediately replied that at the next printing the suggested change will be made. Rabbi Manuel Laderman
