GOODMAN TREASURER JACK SPITZER Los ANGELES, GALIF. OMAHA, NEBR. jorm File Appreciating the fact that you are a busy person, the Su- preme Advisory Council has always been reluctant to refer to the chairman of an Advisory Board a matter that might be handled by the chapter itself. However, in this particular instance, we find it necessary to place the following project in your hands because we do not want to refer it to a set of officers whose term ends within the next week or so; we cannot refer it to the new officers because generally five or six weeks elapse before all election reports are in. The matter at hand demands prompt and efficient attention and we, therefore, turn to you. THE PROJECT: The members of the Supreme Advisory Council along with the leaders of other Jewish and non-Jewish youth groups have watched with growing concern the spread of fascism and communism which threaten not only Jewry but de mocracy itself. As loyal Americans and Canadians it is therefore our duty to promote a better understanding of Americanism and Canadianism and to further the harmony among our fellow citizens. Since our Port Jervis camp convention in 1936, we have laid repeated emphasis on "patriotism" as one of the seven car- dinal principles of A.Z.A. As one of our projects last year, we experimented with a patriotic program on Washington's birthday, Feb. 22nd, in cooperation with non-Jewish youth organizations, and with a special effort to get at least 50% gentile attendance at meetings. It is putting it mildly to say that these "Youth and De- mocracy" rallies went over successfully. In scores of com- munities, they were still the subject of favorable discussion
