AUCKLAND JEWISH WOMEN APPEALED TO

DR. GOLDSTEIN’S ADVENTURES WRECKED ON DESERT ISLAND T IKE the prophets of old Dr. Alexander Goldstein, the Zionist missioner, has not found his path around the world altogether rose-strewn. Mrs. David L. Nathan made Auckland Zionist women laugh at the Jewish Club yesterday when she said, in reference to the adventures of the guest, “And then to cap everything, Dr. Goldstein, poor man, was wrecked on a desert island with poisonous snakes and a shortage of water!” Despite his misadventure on the steamer Tasman off the Australian coast, Dr. Goldstein looked in the best of health. His mishaps certainly had no effect upon his eloquence. For almost an hour he pleaded the cause of Zionism with Auckland Jewish women yesterday, and more than substantiated his reputation as a silver-tongued orator. Dr. Goldstein was received by Mrs. Nathan, president of the Auckland Women’s Zionist Association; Miss Vera Ziman, vice-president; and Mrs. J. Yock, secretary. Miss Vera Possenesskie, who recently returned from Adelaide, was a guest of honour. Miss Etta Field sang delightfully during the afternoon. . PART OF THE MOTHER “We shall never make a success of Zionism if the Jewish women are not with us,” said Dr. Goldstein as he proceeded to tell of the important part the Jewish wife and mother had played in the history of his ancient people. Zionism would make the Jews, he declared, spiritually and physically, healthy again. “We are an old and ancient race. The oldest in fact in the world. We have a history of 4,000 years behind us. How is it, then, that we have survived oppression, torment and persecution? It was because of the Jewish wives and mothers who kept Judaism alive in the Jewish homes.” There were so many temptations, said Dr. Goldstein, for a Jew to desert his ancient religion. Thex-efore, the important part to be played in the spiritual welfare of their race by women could not be over-emphasised.

He told how the leaders of the anti-Semites in Hungary and Poland were both Jews. “And why is this so?” demanded Dr. Goldstein. “Simply because some Jewish mother neglected her dutj r . There .was a time when these men were babies and lay in the arms of their mothers. There must

have been a t.ime when their eyes were open.** GOLDEN KEY The importance, too, of making’ Hebrew again the national language of Jewry—as was the case to-day in Palestine—was also stressed by Dr. Goldstein. “Hebrew is the golden key to our literature,” he said. “It is the key to a literature of which any race might well be proud. . . • Do you want our prophets and our poets to be as a sealed book to your children?” Although he had been told in Sydney that “charity began at home." he reminded his co-religionists that Zionism also began at home. “I congratulate the Jewish women of Auckland on what they have already accomplished. It is only by the support of our women that the torch of culture and learning in Palestine will be kept lighted. It is thanks to such women as the Zionists of Auckland that we have been able to accomplish what we have in Palestine to-day.” Among those present were:—Mrs. Devin, Mrs. Ross, Mrs. Baume, Mrs. J. Cane, Mrs. Finkelstein, Mrs. Reynolds, Mrs. Zobel, Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Singer, Mrs. Zukerman, Mrs. Braham, Mrs. Esterman, Mrs. Zimmer, Mrs. Gold, Mrs. Schneidemann, Miss Gold, Mrs. Kay, Miss R. Keesing. Miss K. Keesing, Miss E. Keesing, Mrs. Mendelsohn, Mrs. Jaff, Airs. Cook, Airs. Jeffer, Airs. Stone, Mrs. I. Ateltzer, Mrs. Robinson, Airs. Hendricks, Airs. A. Follick. Airs. K. Salas, Airs. Kissen, Aliss Whitney, Airs. Freeman, Aliss AI. Marks, Airs. Paykel, Airs. Litchenstein, and Miss Phillips.

Y.W.C.A. FAIR

£l5O FOR MISSIONS Missions in India, China and Japan will benefit to the extent of £l5O by the World’s Fellowship Fair, held by the Auckland branch of the Y.W.C.A. yesterday. All members of the association made a big effort. The Girl Citizens and the grown-up supporters worked side by side in the many stalls, which did brisk business. One stall contained handkerchiefs which had been made or given by more than 1,000 girls. The Mayoress of Auckland, Mrs. A. D. Campbell, opening the fair, said that the association was doing wonderful work among girls. The chief attraction of the afternoon was the baby show in which there were record entries. Results are as follow: Under 6 years, Joan Cook, aged SJ; under 18 months, Kathleen McAlpine, aged 9 months; under 3 years, Billy Kiddie, aged 1 year 10 months. A spectacular gymnastic and dancing display was given in the gymnasium by children.

A “best hair-cut” competition went to Miss Avis Menzies.

WOMEN’S PROGRESSIVE LEAGUE

AT BAYSWATER The Bayswater-Belmont branch of the League of Mothers, which has lately been formed in conjunction with the Waitemata Women’s Progressive League, held its monthly meeting in the Presbyterian Hall, Belmont, on Thursday, afternoon. A very enjoyable afternoon was spent and Dr. BuckleyTurkington gave an interesting address on Child Life. Mrs. Atkins presided, and afternoon tea was dispensed by Mesdames Sharp and Buckley. In the evening the Waitemata "Women’s League held its monthly social in the hall, when Mrs. N. E. Ferner, in addi'essing the members and their friends on the work of the Community Club, Napier Street, stressed the need for practical help in this worthy cause.
