The speaker is to be Abraham Dickenstein of ‘Tel Aviv, Palestine, who will speak on "The United Naâ€" tions‘ Ally in the Near East." Mr. Dickenstein is connected with several Palestinian enterprises, and will speak on recent industrial and agricultural developments in Palestine and her partition in the war effort. ‘ Current events will be given and there will be music. All members are urged to attend ‘and bring their friends. ‘The North Shore Zionist organizaâ€" tion will hold its first meeting of the season on Wednesday, Oct. 7, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Rosen, 273 Greenbay road, Glencoe. Zionist Meeting to Be On ‘Near East‘ Typical Experience Then we walk miles back to our posts plus extra miles due to getting lost in the dark. Then we set up tents in puddlies that a ‘gator would flee from in horror. Then we are forced to crawl into the tents and roll over three times until thoroughly wet, then Look At Us! Now take us Gladiators. We spend five minutes strapping on several hundred pounds of field packs, bayoâ€" nets, cartridge beits, gas masks and just about everything but foot lockâ€" ers and our girl friends. Then we climb into trucks and go for hundreds of miles while the drivâ€" ers look busily for the bumpiest spots in the road. Finally we arrive at the most horrible piece of landscape that anyone could whistle up. Next, we proceed to set up heavy field pieces on swamp that quivers if a frog so much as twitches his foot in crossing it. After we are plastered with mud we walk miles back to the kitchen truck which is two hours late. corral with a crowd of ing on. Plain Gladiators Phoovie, Goffe‘s Men Claim Super Gladiator Title Sgt.

The Service club, society group, is in charge of opening night and many of Chicagoland‘s society women are busy arousing interest for the benefit of their many charities. Among the members working on the enterprise are Mrs. Raiph J. Mills, corresponding secretary ; Miss Doroâ€" thy Herbst, director; Miss Nancy Leigh Bowes, all of Highland Park. A few of the charities benefited are: Salvation army, American Red Cross, Children‘s Memorial hospital, Infant Welfare society, Martha Washington home, Seeing Eye Reâ€" placement and St. Vincent‘s. Two new additions to this year‘s show are Betty Atkinson, acrobatic artist, and Norah McCarthy, Canadian skating champion. Heinie Brock as old "Daniel Bum" lends comedy, Frances Claudet who is director of skating routine for the show is a start herself, and the colorful Shipâ€" stads. The Shipstads and Johnson, origiâ€" nators of the show, bring to their pubâ€" lic for the sixth time another ice exâ€" travaganza outstanding in the amuseâ€" ment world. Ice Follies To Open for 15â€"Day Run At Arena Add all these, plus the 4,004 other things I forgot about our recent conâ€" voy and you‘ll have to agree with me that by comparison those old time gladiators had a lead pipe cinch. But we can take it. The Ice Follies of 1943 opens its appéarance at the Chicago arena, Oct. 13, for a fifteen evening run plus two Sunday matinees. Take three days of one variety or another of the above, add a whopping dose of equipment cleaning, plus the misery of the men who are still nursâ€" ing mosquita bites, plus the angluished cries from the drivers who had to wash the mud from their trucks. Also take a couple of pinches of mumâ€" bling from the fellows scraping rust from rifles that had ‘been borrowed by dudes who were on guard in the rain. Still adding, take the angry shouting of the cooks as the sand caved in under the field range. I have sworn statements from reâ€" liable soldiers who have seen the fiendish bugs turn men‘s dogtags over to see if their blood type was the kind that agreed with their pamâ€" pered stomachs. Many of the men now chalk their blood type on the outside of their tents at night to avoid being awakened by the conâ€" tinual rattle of the tags. 5 crawl out and take a hitch at guard. We then spend the night slapping mosquitoes and holiering "halt!" in high falsetto voices. From a distance the chorus of their plaintive cries float across the lonely marshes like the mating call of the loon. And if a man is able to get in beâ€" tween the dripping blankets for any length of time the mosquitoes go to work. Now ordinarily mosquitoes are no bargain wherever you find them. But you wrap your head up in your blanket, preferring death by suffocaâ€" tion to being caten alive, they start hammering with their feet on the outâ€" side until the victim looks out to see what kind of creature isâ€" stomping on him . Once h esticks out his head he is grabbed and yanked bodily into the open and then devoured. THE MILLION MARK That is the amount of War Savings Bonds sold to date through our teller‘s window.

On board its landship at the North Shore Yacht last ~â€"Monday evening, cighteen fully ‘uniformed sea scouts met with their skipper to plot the ship‘s course of the future. During the summer months all of the mates have been drawn from the ship into some phase of military serâ€" vice: Mate Roderic Smith is an enâ€" sign of the line stationed at Tower hall in Chicago, awaiting orders of the very near future; Mate Gunter Schwandt is an instructor at the Areonautical University of Chicago teaching military students; Mate Lesâ€" lie Rankin, an aviation cadet in the naval reserve air corps, has just been ordered to Lockport â€"for secondary flight training; Mate Michael O‘Brien is a second class petty officer in the naval reserve, stationed .at Glenview air base; Mate Bob Coleman is at Notre Dame university, having been enrolled in the naval unit earlier in the summer, and Mate Tom Stein is in the army reserve unit at the University of Illinois. The loss of these men has placed an added responsibility on the seascouts of â€" the â€" Highlander, according to Skipper Traver Hamilton, an ensign of the dental corps of the naval reâ€" serves, who states that he is going to raise a number of the seamen to junior officers rank to assist in the running of the ship. In his talk to the unit by Skipper Hamilton, stressing the growing imâ€" portance. of the training and inforâ€" mation available in sea scouting, it was said, "Sea scouting is not a miliâ€" tary organization, but what you will learn in seamanship, water safety, signaling and first aid this winter may well serve you and your country in the future wherever you may fit into the picture.. This is a time for added effort by all of you to do all you can." The Highlander has more than thirâ€" ty registered sea scouts at the present time and hopes to expand to fortyâ€" five members by the end of the year ; of the group five boys are registered as associates and are in the U.S. armed forces on active duty.
