First edition. Original illustrated paper wrappers by Dan Rico, 4to, 15 pages. Includes other illustrations by Rico as well as photos. 29 cm. In Yiddish. Title translates as "Youth." Single Holocaust-era issue of monthly communist Yiddish youth magazine Yungvarg. The magazine ran from 1937 until at least 1944. "As the Yiddish school systems blossomed in the 1920s, an accompanying literature developed in New York. The Sholem Aleichem Folk Institute published Kinder Zhurnal [Children's Journal] from 1921 to the late 1970s. The editor for the first 15 years was the leading Yiddish literary critic Shmuel Niger. The Workman Circle published Kinderland, and then Kinder Tsaytung [Children's Newspaper]. The communists [sic, Communist] schools published the monthly Yungvarg. Many of the leading Yiddish writers tried their hands at writing for children, and as a result, there are many masterpieces in these journals. The leading illustrators were Zuni Maud, Yosl Cutler, Aron Goodelman, Avreml, Saul Raskin, Note Koslovsky, Boris Aronson, Emanuel Romano, and Lola. They designed puzzles, games and comics, in addition to wonderful illustrations of stories." (Itsik Gottesman, University of Texas). Cover illustrator Dan Rico (1912-1985) "was an American paperback novelist, screenwriter, wood engraver and comic book writer-artist, who co-created the Marvel Comics characters the Black Widow (Natasha Romanova) with plotter Stan Lee and artist Don Heck; Jann of the Jungle with artist Arthur Peddy; Leopard Girl with artist Al Hartley; and Lorna the Jungle Girl with an artist generally considered to be Werner Roth.

Zustand: Fine. Springfield, Illinois, March 14th, between [1929 and 1931]., [1929 and 1931]. Fine. - Over 45 words penned on their personal "Lindsay / 603 South Fifth Street / Springfield, Illinois" stationery. The poet's wife informs future congressman Seymour Halpern that her "husband is out of the city, and pressure & other work, will prevent him writing you the letter you request." She goes on to say she is sending him material "However, the enclosed material will help you, I know, with your essay." Signed "Elizabeth Lindsay". Folded for mailing, else fine.The wife and widow of the poet Vachel Lindsay, Elizabeth Conner Lindsay (1901-1954) was headmistress of the Oxford School in Hartford, Connecticut. Her husband, the American poet Vachel Lindsay (1879-1931) is considered a founder of modern singing poetry. Married in 1925, the couple moved from Spokane, Washington to his childhood home in Springfield, Illinois in 1929 during the Stock Market Crash. Struggling to support his younger wife and children, Vachel Lindsay published 2 volumes of poetry in those latter years and performed odd jobs. Crushed by worries over his finances and his failing health, Vachel Lindsay committed suicide by drinking a bottle of lye, leaving behind his wife and children, Susan Lindsay Russell, Viscountess of Amberley, London and Nicholas Lindsay of South Carolina. Their residence, the Vachel Lindsay House is maintained by the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency.The recipient Queens, New York Republican Congressman Seymour Halpern (1913-1997) started his political career as a campaign aide to New York's powerful mayor Fiorella La Guardia and first served in New York's State Senate for 14 years before seeking a seat in the U.S. Congress. In Albany Halpern sponsored 279 bills that became law, including measures on schools, housing, civil rights, nutrition and mental health. A Liberal, he was something of an anomaly as the lone Republican representative from New York City, and generally garnered support from Labor Unions and endorsement from the Liberal Party. Yet he never even considered switching parties as he considered membership in the Republican Party a family tradition and commitment. While he found ample time for his private pursuits, including painting and collecting autographs, he took his legislative duties very seriously. Of these, he was proudest of his co-sponsorship of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and of the original 1965 Medicare legislation.…
