The initial play, "Tides," a Middle ton production, .-was presented ad mirably by the pioneer company. Mrs. Ben Jacobson' was fine as the radical, William White, who, when his country entered the war, gave up fighting against the cur rent and allowed himself to be car ried with the tide, being among the first to offer his services. Miss Edith Mozorasky portrayed the role of Hilda, the wife, with a splendid naturalness, and Samuel White, as Wallace, the eon, was admirable. . The play was given under the direction of Miss Bess Whitcomb and was the first of many playlets to be produced by the Neighborhood players. As Mrs. Julius Louisson, president of the council, said, "the theater affords a splendid outlet for hidden talent and opportunity for its expression and in time may give rise to a new Bernhardt, Nazimova or Warfield." Preceding the performance William Scheinbaum gave an interesting talk on the "Maccabeean Spirit," which is in keeping with the approacning festival of Chanuckah. Mrs. Henry Metzger charmed her hearers with a group of songs, ac companied by Edgar E. Coursen, and Mrs. S. M. Blumauer, third national vice-president of the Council ot Jewish Women, who has just re turned from the executive board meeting held at Atlantic City gave the dedicatory address and pre sented a comprehensive and inter esting report of the council work, stressing its national work along lines of immigrant aid, which in cludes work at Ellis island and other ports, co-operating with in ternational and federal agencies; the rural work, with its programme of education; health and recreation for women on farms, and the inter national work of the reconstruction I unit, which gives personal service to European refugees in the port cities of central and western Europe.

Her letter follows: "May I remind you thus early that the last Wednesday in January is scholarship loan fund day, and that we are asking the various clubs to give early and generously to this most worthy activity, which we are pledged to support? "The women of Oregon should be proud of the fact that to date they have assisted 312 young women to secure an ..education that will en able them to become more nearly the type of young womanhood that our modern civilization demands. "This year, because of - the de pleted condition of our treasury, your chairman has faced the heart rending task of having to refuse aid to several worthy girls and to keep a number of others waiting a whole semester before a loan could be made. "To date we have placed 26 new loans this year, which means a financial responsibility of $3900. There was $1458.71 in the treasury when we assumed the chairmanship in September, and we are counting on the proceeds of the red-letter day to supply the resulting large deficit. The, women of Oregon will not fail us, we are confident, when they realize that this is their op portunity to help in the best and most constructive way by helping these young women to help them selves. May we urge you to send in your contributions promptly and if possible to increase the amount over that of last year?" One of the first organizations to mak a contribution to the fund this year was the Portland Federa tion of Women's Organizations, which last week sent a check for $100 to Miss McGregor.
