Mr. and Mrs. Napoleon Nadeau of Granite street, this city, were the recipients of much attention yesterday at a brilliance fete at which Mr. and Mrs. Napoleon L.

The guests were ezhuberant in their praise of the kindly Sisters, whose decorations, symbolic of the occasion, were so artistically designed that the chapel was truly a picture of heaven. The Te Deum mass was celebrated by Rev. Father Ludovie of the Franciscan Order, who also made a brief allocution in which he pictured the life of a typical Christian couple and this was done with a charm that carried a cheery breath of wind, fog and sunshine in its description. The “ushers were: Raoul and Gerard Nadeau and their brother, Leo Paul, served as altar boy.A banquet followed in the vast dining hall of the convent tastefully decorated with golden bells and “50 symbols. On the table of honor a beautiful wedding cake formed the centerpiece; the large tables were decorated with huge bowls of assorted fruit and delicate daisies mixed with fern, placed in attractive gold vases. While the guests did full justice to the exquisite menu a group of young grandchildren provided the vitamins G-O-L and D to the entertainment in the form of a sketch written for the occasion as well as a recitation dedicated to the honorguests of the golden jubilee. A handsome basket of flowers was presented on behalf of the Conseil Ste Therese of the Union St. Jean' Baptiste d’Amerique by the members who served as waitresses.In the afternoon a reception was held at Hills Beach at the summer home of Mr. and Mrs. Napoleon L. Nadeau. This was effectively decorated with cut flowers and evergreen and the entire house was filled with the spicy fragrance of the Pines. Mr. and Mrs. Nadeau, Sr., were escorted to a gold love-seat, Mrs. Nadeau looking very regal in her black lace dress,with which she wore a corsage of briarcliffe roses and a black hat with ostrich trimming. Mr. and Mrs , Nap L. Nadeau, the escorts, were then surprised when their daughter, Therese, stepped forward, accompanied by her youngest brother and sister and complimented them on the occasion of their silver wedding anniversary, presenting them a purse hanging from a large silver circle and a pretty bouquet. Mrs. Irene Bernier then expressed to her parents, the senior Nadeaus, the good wishes of the entire group and little grandchildren presented a basket of flow'ers and a ship of Good Fortune, containing a cargo of new currency as u token of affection from one and all.A buffet lunch followed, afterwhich an informal programme of songs and music was rendered and this delightful party which will long be remembered by all was brought to a close at 4 o’clock.Mr. Nadeau recently retired from business and with Mrs. Nadeau is now enjoying a fireside sort of life at their comfortable homeon Granite street. Both have remained so young at heart that they seem to have quaffed at the fount of eternal youth and their cunning ! bits of wisdom are always bound to bring a smile from their listeners..

It is unani mouslv of the opinion that the recent British White Paper policy is not in accordance with interpretation the Mandates Commission, in agreement with the League Council and the Mandatory power, had always placed on the Palestine Mandate. Four of the members of this commission stated flatly theWhite Paper policy was not conformity with the mandate.The White Paper certainly not a just and fair document.1914 there were only 80,000 Jews in Palestine—there are now morethan 450,000. They relied uponthe seered covenants and promisesof a democratic government;they relied upon the approval of the establishment of a Jewish National Homeland by 52 nations of the world; they have been encouraged to enter the country; they have been encouraged to invest vast sume of money in industrial and agricultural enterprises; they have created marvelous cities; by hard labor and constant application they have transformed wastelands into beautiful and blooming colonies. Where no beast could j live, let alone human beings, in desolate wastelands, pungent with disease and malaria, young men have gone heroically to reclaimthese lands that were neglected for centuries, taking refuge in the belief, moved by the assurance of thepromises of Great Britain thatthey were building for themselves a Jewish National Homeland where they might reconstruct their lives, where they might recreate a cultural and spiritual life, where tthey might live as of right and not as of suiferancc; where they would cease to be relegated to a minority status; where they would j live as human beings have a right \ to live.It is cruel and unjust to administer this foul blow' to a people who have been loyal to England and who have relied upon her fairness and friend hip.Our case is supported by justice. Even in this mad world an attempt to deprive desperate men and women, who are being lashed and whipped, of an opportunity to live, cannot prveail.The right to live cannot be denied to human beings—the gates of Palestine must remain, open. It is not only illegal to close them, but it dashes the hopes of hundreds of thousands of refugees who must enter Palestine.”United States for Jews, is Jewish refugt The resolu New England World Zionis session at GeAt 5 o‘cloclheld in the O at which a m Theodor Hai movement, wiial address b ittes of Poi players wert Henry L.
