Continued on page 12) AN OPEN LETTER TO EVERY ALEPH IN THE U. A. AND CANADA: Dear Fellows: For the past several months, a committee representing Great Cleveland's ten A. Z. A. chapters has been meeting in order to draw up plans for enter taining out-of-town Alephs who will visit in Cleveland preceding the camp-convention at Camp Manatoc, Ohio, which is only 22 miles from Cleveland. Aft- er many weeks of discussion and preliminary planning, the following program for your entertainment en route to Manatoc has been arranged: On Thurs- day night, June 27, the Greater Cleveland A. Z. A, Council will present the International A. Z. A. Ball. This affair will be held at the Trianon Ballroom, Cleveland's largest and most beautiful dance place. But, that is only the beginning. Believing that only the best is good enough for Cleveland A. Z. A.'s guests, the committee has secured the services of Don Bestor and his nationally famous orchestra. Bestor's band, you will recall, played for many years on Jack Benny's program, and now plays regularly on a coast-to-coast network. As you can see, no trouble or expense has been spared in order to make this the outstanding affair in the annals of our fraternity. However, the best is yet to come-The Greater Cleveland A. Z. A. Council cordially invites all Alephs attending the convention to attend this ball as its guests!! In other words, FREE!!!! Our Housing committee is now busy securing the best accommodations for all of our guests who desire housing for Thursday night and as many pre- ceeding nights as they wish. Cleveland is famous all over the country for the beauty of its girls, and we assure you that our dating committee has lined up the cream of Cleveland femininity for the cream of A. Z. A.!! As we have already said, camp is only a short hop from Cleveland if you are driving. If you are not, we have chartered a fleet of Streamlined Buses to transport our guests from Cleveland to Camp Manatoc, If you arrive in Cleveland before Thursday, on Wednesday, Tuesday, Monday, next week or tomorrow, we are arranging suitable entertainment which will keep you thrilled from the time of your arrival until you eat your first meal at Camp Manatoc, All we ask is that you clip and mail the questionnaire which appears in this issue of The Shofar. Cleveland has long been known as the City of Hos- pitality. We want to prove it to you. Give us a chance! Looking forward to seeing you in Cleveland, we remain, Sincerely and Fraternally, GREATER CLEVELAND A. Z. A. COUNCIL. JULIE MILLER, Aleph Godol. AARON ZUCKER, Cleveland A, Z. A. Director.

The book discusses the various symbols that go to make up propaganda, rang- ing from the "name-calling" de- vice to the deliberate innuendo. What with propaganda of this type becoming more frequent these days book like this fills a need. It helps you to be able to distinguish between a true and false method of argument. OUR BATTLE, by Hendrik Van Loon- this book, one of Amer- ica's greatest liberals points out that Hitler's theories are a men- ace to world peace and to civiliza- tion. It is really "Our Battle' to defend that civilization which has taken centuries to build up. This battle must be fought on the in- tellectual front by maintaining the traditions of democracy an d liberalism to the best of our abil- ity. This book is to our day what Paine's "Common Sense" was to our forefathers in 1775.

He points out that Hitler is a man who has carefully thought out his program of destruction, and is carrying out its these with care. There is an analysis of Hitler's theory of the state and of "race." We should know Hitler for what he is, a dangerous man, and, like all dan- gerous men. treat him with the spirit that has salvaged civiliza- tion thus far- the spirit of de- fense of our liberties and love for our tradition of paece and order. Six Anti-Nazi Plays, Edited by S. Moore: These are six anti-Nazi plays that are suitable for pre- sentation before adult groups. Each breathe a spirit of democ- racy and freedom, and carry through their dramatic implica- tions by frequent references to the holocaust that Hitler has let loose through his Nazi principles.
