Rich In Activity adequate records. The present case load or number of families cared for by the Federation case worker, Miss Elsie Foska, and the Relief committee, consisting of members of the Federation and the Jewish Women's Welfare Organization, is entirely excessive. Add to that a total of 408 transients - interviewed during the year, out-of-town correspondence, investigating applications for Wise hospital and the load becomes almost prohibitive. Heretofore the case worker had to do her own recording of cases, as -well. The Survey commends in particular the progress made in both of -these directions during the last ^year.

Communal Survey, Enlarged Federation, Phtttininropies Feature Omaha?s Resume REVIEW OF EACH ORGANIZATION Another year has been added to the treasure house of our memories; a year in which the Jewry of Omaha "brightened wondrously the flame in - the torch of progress and achievei ment. As the vibrant sound of the 1 Shofar reminds us of the covenant . with our fathers—that they became a nation sanctified by /truth and righteousness, so does it sow announce to all other Jewish communities that Omaha has not been content to rest on its laurels of the past, bat has instead set an example for other-communities to eniulate. \

In this' brief resume of the meritorious achievements of Omaha Jewry during 5690, panoramically depicted through the work of the various organizations, can be given only a partial picture of the onward march of a 'phflanthropically-minded community, a portrayal which reveals tireless toO and on the part of. our leaders and -a wealth of.' constructive effort in every worth-while' field of endeavor. - Omaha has not only insured the permanence and efficiency of its so-

cial welfare ideas, to which it has given corporate life and which made Omaha known throughout the United States, but it has retained the capacity to develop new ideas in accordance with the trend of the times .

Welfare Federation OMAHA'S ANSWER When Samuel E. Goldsmith, director of the bureau for Jewish Social Research, explained to representatives of some 45 organizations that the trend of modern, communities is to take inventory of their activities in order to determine whether they were progressing or lagging, Omaha immediately accepted the challenge and asked the bureau of Jewish Social Research to make the study. The report Harry Lapidus, was presented at a meeting of the Chairman of Citizen's Committee Citizen's Committee on October 28. Harry H. Lapidus was chairman of For the department of family welthe committee. The recommendations fare the survey recommendations- are made and action taken on them is as based entirely on two objectives, more follows: efficient care of families and more

WHAT OF OUR ORPHANS? There are now 22 Omaha orphans in Cleveland and 3 in Denver. The Survey recommends that 18 of these children be returned to Omaha. In most of these cases the children will have to be placed in foster homes because in -each case the parents are either in institutions, have deserted, or are chronically QL Being alive to the situation, the Federation has organized a child care committee whose purpose it will be to care for these orphans and place them with foster parents particularly suited for each child. CUR BROTHERS' KEEPER A recent visit by the State Institution committee chairman, Judge Irvin Stalmaster, to some of the institutions shows that there is a decrease in the number: of Jewish inmates in the correctional institutions and an increase in the state institutions for insane. There are 23 Jewish inmates in the above institutions.

Committee chairmen are Relief committee, Mrs. H .A. Wolf; Correctional institutions, Irvin Stalmaster; Employment committee, J. J. Slosburg; Legal Aid committee, Wm- Grodinsky; Child Care committee, Jeanette Ger6on; Co-ordinating committee, Henry Monsky; Free Loan Society committee, Harry A. Wolf; Old People's Home •committee, Harry Silverman.

This membership was open to the wives, mothers, and unmarried sisters of members of the congregation. One of their biggest events was a Congregational Dinner given in.December and a brilliant success. Mrs. J. M. Malashock and Mrs. F. J. Alberts were in charge of the affair, which included a splendid - program followed by a joint installation of the officers of the auxiliary and the congregation.

In order to replenish Jheir fun_ds the members of the auxiliary sponsored a subscription campaign for the Jewish Press. They also did many other helpful services including the preparing and serving of refreshments on-several occasions, as at the Siym Hasefer ceremony and the special Purim services. -— Officers are: Mrs. J. J. Greenberg, president; Mrs. Irvin Stalmaster, vice-president; Mrs. M. F. Levenson, recording secretary; Mrs. Abe Weinstein, financial secretary; Mrs. Julius Stein, treasurer.

In reviewing the work of the local Zionist District, one finds it necessary to keep in mind Zionism itself—its high aim—and the difficulties encourtered all through its history. "Zionism strives to create for the Jewish people a publicly-recognized,

Sisterhood

The B'nai Israel Synagogue, a,t 18th and Chicago, brought an eloquent young rabbi, Manuel Laderman of Chicago, to Omaha'for the important holidays, and his success was so great that he will again be brought here for the coming holidays.

The Sisterhood of Temple Israel has grown considerably since organized many years ago when Reform Judaism was still in its infancy. Mrs. Ferd- j inand Adler was the first president of the group. Today the membership of the local unit is 186, with Mrs. Nate Mantel as its leader. The Sisterhood was organized for a two-fold purpose—the sociability of the wives, daughters and sisters of its members, and the furtherance of the purpose of Judaism.

)D HAS assured us of plenty, but we must do our share in bringing about improved conditions. In this respect we would do well to emulate the hen, to whom hard times mean nothing. She just keeps on digging worms and laying eggs, regardless of what the newspapers say about conditions. If the ground is hard, she scratches harder. If it's dry, she digs deeper. If she strikes a rock,

she works around it. But always she digs op worms and turns them into hard shelled profits, as well as tender broilers. Did you ever see a pessimistic hen? Did you ever know of one starving to death waiting for worms to dig themselves to the surface? Did you ever hear one cackle because times were hard? Not on your life; she saves her breath for digging and her cackle for eggs.

I

' VERY best wishes and coneratuk tions to the Jewish citizens of Omah. on the occasion of the approachin: celebration of Rosh Hashonah. This i; one of the oldest holidays recorded v. religious history and is observed witl that spiritual contemplation so essential to trn< religious faith. As year after year goes by the contribution of your peoples to science, art, industry and public service becomes more and more distinguished. I have been fortunate in having had intimate acquaintance with many of the older Jews of Omaha. They and their successors have helped to build Omaha in a material way. They have made large contributions to the social and spiritual character of this city. The fact that Omaha is such a desirable residence city is due to the fine character of all its racial groups, and among these the Jewish people have distinguished themselves individually as well as collectively. I trust that the fNew Year will be a bright and happy one for you, and that those deep reigious principles which have always been observed by the Jewish people will continue to be an inspiration to your younger generations and the :>ther religions of American citizenship.

^-—-^ j SEND my cordial -I greetings to those ^Zr^L, loval and devout Jews who are about to celebrate Rosh Hashonah. The Jewish race has made numberless invaluable contributions to the progress ofhumanity, but none so precious as their contribution to the spiritual life of mankind. Their fellow citizens of every race and creed share in extending to them the greetings" of good will and good wishes on the Jewish New Year.

[ROUGH the medium of the Jewish Press I am pleased to express to the Jewish citizens of Nebraska my appreciation and admiration for their honorable and splendid contribution in building our state. Throughout the history of the human race the Hebrew people, no matter what the environment, have been leaders, and have made a distinct contribution to the world's civilization. Scattered over the habitable globe, living under different and all kinds of governments, this indomitable race has held its own, and its leaders have measured up to the highest standards of achievement. Ihis is true in every line of endeavor which has demanded intelligence, perseverance, and industry. As Governor of Nebraska and in behalf of its people, comprising a mixture of the best bloods of all the great races of the world, I consider it a privilege to extend good wishes for a happy celebration of the Jewish New Year, symbolic of the ancient customs and early history of a great people.

j PLATFORM OF SERVICE Any sense of pleasure or satisfaction that we jf allow ourselves in presenting this mamoth, feature Rosh Hashonah edition: for your approbation is not inspired by self-gratification, b t t is pfoxntpted rather by the soothing thought that the Je'fttfS Press is once more being a medium of service to the Jewry of the community. ftever in the history of American Judaism w^s it so necessary to interpret the Jew to him^ self and to his Gentile neighbor; strengthening the Beautiful, rich traditions which give a Jewish community culture and creates Jewish personality is a pressing, vital need today. And in these inlpefative purposes we hope and feel that the Jewish P^-ess is fulfilling its mission, as exemplified by tfie Jewish New Year edition, which you are ntfw heading. We point with pride to the Rosh Hashonah niessages which appear on the front page. These soulful greetings from our President, our Governor, and our Mayor are American officialdom's concrete expression of good-will to our people and aii open manifestation of the high esteefti in which the Jewish race is held. With their hearts felt messages added to the manifold advertise riients by Gentile-manned institutions extending; their sincere well-wishes for the future of otif r^efeji we frankly believe that we have been the iriedium of good-will in its truest sense, propogatitig the brotherhood ideal aild paving the way toW&fd better understanding between creeds. The Jewish Press has continually endeavored t&its utmost to become ail educational force in the community. We have disseminated and interpreted the current Jewish news, attempting meanwhile to build a constructive, progressive Jewish viewpoint, and as a climax present to you in this issue a review of the happenings in world Jewry which by and of itself is a complete picture of Jewish history during 5690. This portrayal, depleted by a master's pallet, is in truth an invaluable souvenir for the individual who wishes to be well-versed in Jewish affairs. We most highly recommend this resume as a bird's eye view of Jewish life—a storehouse of Jewish memories for the" future. We aim not only to give a national perspective to our readers, but also to fully paint the local jJortrait of Jewish life, bringing into true foctrs the various phases of community life. In the background of this local Jewish panorama for the pagt year loom the monumental achievements of & communal survey, an enlarged, unified Federation and a marvelously-co-ordinated Jewish Philanthropies. These accomplishments, reco'tin'ted elsewhere in this paper, brought recognition id dtfr community and has placed Omaha's nairie io the fore as a leader in the renaissance which is riow sweeping over American Jewry. As aii org&n of publicity we have done all m our pefwer to ittrther these developments with the trends of th§ time's and to achieve these ends by welding together the various elements of Judaism and Jewish life on a common platform of service. That • tfe are a factor in cd-ordinating and bringing fore the public the excellent work of our comihurial activities is indicated, we believe, by the Splendid resume of Omaha's activities—tarried in full within this edition. To publish news, as the work of these iMibns, is importarit; but it is more important to Stiniulate. thought. In fulfilling this ideal the Jewish Press has given fair and sympathetic treatment to all deserving cadges aiid has cHahi^ibried all movements for the benefits of the.civic, cultural, spiritual and social life of our Jewry; has lathered together & galaxy of features,; messages iihd articles which represeiit the best obtainable in Jewish life today. ;Ahd i£Vas therefore been our policy to discuss the1 function arid place of ifi dyft&gogue, Jewish letjucatipii, charities, ithntigra&bn) community 4iitieavors;. p'edce moveriiehts iftiiJanthropic givirigj. and other subjects in the p'tibiic eye today, besides pointing, the-way toward fiiglier spiritual Weis and a more perfected ,Jew iin community life*.

We must bear in mind the future rests on the shoulders of the past. There can he no true progress unless we realize our shortcomings and errors of yesterday and make an earnest effort to rectify them. We must further consecrate ourselves to our priceless heritage and rededicate ourselves to the ideals of Judaism. May the New Year bring God's choicest blessings to those who are near and those who are far. May it witness Peace and Prosperity together with a greater feeling of good will between Israel arid Christianity and among the nations of the world.

Rosh Hashonah 5691 By RABBI FfcecfcBieK COHN, Temple Israel

GOLDSTEIN CHAPMAWS We stand again at the threshold Of d "N&sb Yedr." What it holds for us we cannot tell. r An all-wise Providence has mercifutly screened'the future from our gaze. A wave of depression has swept over the world. Still, as Israel assembles again for the observance of its "Holy Days" FAITH rises within its heart, that ageold Jewish faith which has ever been the heart and soul of Israel. Israel is anchored in faith in God. It has been sorely tried throughout the centuries, but its faith in Gdd has never faltered. And its faith has preserved it through all its trials. Thdi faith we must re-assert today. If it has weakened,.we must learn to revive it. Withbut faith men perish. It is life's greatest preservative, the heart of all great action, the soul of all brave carrying-on. Humanity must "carry on," whatever problems or evils confront it. Let each Jew do his part. It U bne of the glories of these "Holy ttdys" that they revive faith in the breast of the Jew in that everfaithful One, the Divine Keeper of Israel, who "sleepeth not and stumbereth not." If we have been asleep we must awake! If we have slumbered we must rouse our selves, particularly from spiritual slumber, religious and moral ttfpor! The true spirit of Israel must live in us again, reverence for that for which Israel stands and for whfch lib-del has stood throughout the ages. If we combine FAITHFULNESS with our FAITH in God, and let us back up our faith, yea doubly validate it, by complete faithfulness in all the relations of life to our self—-our best and highest self—to ,our fellow-man, to our religion, and to Our God. Then, despite all signs to the contrary, will our New Year be bound to be a "happy" one, with the happiness resting upon the securest basis of all happiness— a consciousness of life's highest meaning grasped,—a conscience rendered sweet and wholesome by the knowledge of life's duties earnestly attempted, and life's obligations nobly fulfilled. May 5691 be a bright and happy yedr for all Israel and for allhumanity. . - ....

A Few Sidelights On College Life Why Jewish Parents Should Have No Fear for Their Collegiate Children By JUSTIN WOLF At this time of the year the various educational institutions throughout the country become the mecca of a large number of Jewish students and as the annual. pilgriniage gets under way the Jewish parents are confronted with a number of problems which are.admittedly thought-provoking and often even cause anxiety. These questions concerning college life partake of a dual nature—they are at once - peculiar to the particular party involved and yet are general to their scope. Each father and mother is naturally deeply concerned in the effect occas• ioned by the gradual transformation of the boy or.girLinto the young man and young woman^ but the Jewish parent is primarily interested in what will happen to his child's Judaism and Jewishness during his residence at college and the necessary adjustment of his life to meet new environments and conditions. While there is a certain pride in every Jew of being of the race of Abraham—a pride clung to tenaciously throughout the ages — at the same time there is an inexplainable fear that Judaism is threatened by internal decay, a decay due to indifference, an inspiring history of Justin Wolf over five thousand years to the contrary. And so the Jewish parent wor- judice is proven • to be at least partly riedly asks himself: "Will college, the imaginative powers of an exseparated as it is- thought to be from tremely self-conscious person turned the intimate: Jewish atmosphere of a loose.

Charles Lamb's famous saying, "There but for the grace of God goes i," is put into effect. The individual himself is the basis for his own success. The entire question of inter-Jewish division is one that can be whistled away if one takes the trouble to inquire as to the exact difference that is presumed to exist.

Ddgel Yehudah Club Is Making Progress

Yonkers, N. Y. (J. T. A.)—Considerable interest was being manifested here as to whether Cornell University at Ithaca, N. Y., will accept a large fund bet aside in the will of I^eslie K. p almer, leading Westrhester County banker. The "balance of the estate", according to the will filed in Surrogate's Court at White Plains, after payment of specified legacies and establishment of tniFt funds, is bequeathed to the trustees of Cornell University to be used for the erection of a dormitory for "Gentile Protestant white students". The fund is estimated to be between ten and fifteen million dollars in value. Some doubt is expressed here whether Cornell will be willing to accept such a bequest from Mr. Palmer.

Outstanding Jewish Books of Past Year

Writings Concerning Jewish Subjects By Both Jewish and Non-Jewish Authors Are Steadily O n the Increase By Louis I.

Gamoran, "The Voice of the Prophet," an anthology of prophetic utterances; Israel Goldberg and Samson Benderly, "Outline of Jewish Knowledge" are other books of importance in the domain of Jewish instruction.

Books by Jewish and non-Jewish authors on Jewish themes have appeared in ever-increasing volume durJewish History ing the past year. The great publishDr. A. L. Sachar, "History of the ing houses of this country and abroad no longer hesitate to issue works of Jews" (Knopf), emphasizes the social well the Jewish, interest inasmuch as the Jew- and environmental ish, reading public can be expected •with a fair degree of certainty to lend its support and patronage. This is hopeful not only for Jewish bookhouses but also for Jewish authors, and promises an efflorescence of Jewish literature of genuine importance. The tragic outbreaks in Palestine during August and September, 1929, made Zionism a subject of world-wide comment in the general press, and significant articles hive appeared in newspaper, magazine and book form. Rabbi Judah Leon Magnes issued "Like All the Nations?" privately in Jerusalem and disseminated it throughout the Jewish communities of the Diaspora. Maurice Samuel, "What Happened in Palestine (Strat- j ford)" gave a graphic first-hand account of events in the Holy Land. John Haynes Holmes, distinguished minister of the Community Church, New York, issued "Palestine, Today and Tomorrow" (MacMillan), a work which obtained particular notice because of its timeliness. S. Hoofien, general manager of the Anglo-Palestine Company, issued a study on "Immigration and Prosperity," refuting many of the allegations of the Arabs before the Inquiry Commission. The text of the hearings before this Commission and the Shaw Report itself weze made available in book form. Leo W. Schwartz and James Waterman Wise under the auspices of the Avukah published a Syllabus on "Zionism and the National Home." Dr. M. Gaster issued "A Honeymoon in Palestine in the Year 2000," written originally in Hebrew by A. L. Levinsky. The English Zionist Federation published a brochure entitled "Zionism in England." Numerous! articles on the Palestine situation have appeared in the Nation, the New Republic, the Menorah Journal, the Atlantic Monthly, Scribner's, Harper's and other American and English periodicals. Books on Judaism Last year was made notable in American Jewish annals by the visit of M. Aime Palliere whose volume "The Unknown Sanctuary" has taken its place among Jewish classics. M, Palliere's essay "How I Found My Way to Judaism" was the substance of his address before numerous Jewish communities in the United States i under the auspices of the Jewish Institute of Religion. Mrs. Stephen S. Wise in addition to translating M. Palliere's book has translated Edmond Flog's "Why I Am a Jew" (Bloch), one of the finest pronouncements of its kind, and of vast value in the religious school, for neophytes, to Judaism, and for adult Jewish education. Beryl D. Cohen: "Introduction to Judaism" (Bloch) is useful for the instruction of the Jewish youth. • I. TVarsaw "The Broken Tablets" (Brentano) gives a Jewish photograph of life, and S. M. Melamed "Breaking the Tablets," a Jewish philosophical viewpoint and a revelation of Jewish tradition. Ernest Trattner in his second full length book, "The Autobiography of God" (Scribner's) attempts a formulation of. the modern God-concept. Yosef .Gaer: "How the Great Religions Began" (McBride) has written one of the best books on this subject extant B. Z. Goldberg: "The Sacred Fire" treats of sex in Teligioh. In the field of sermon literature we find Rabbi Harry Levi of Temple Israel, Boston, issuing "The Great Adventure"; Rabbi Abraham J. Feldman of Hartford, Conn., "Kiddush ha"Shem," and Rabbi Morris Joseph of London, "The Spirit of Judaism." Rabbi Joseph, whose hooks and sermons-on Judaism are of unparalleled merit, was gathered to his fathers a few months ago, depriving anglo-Jewry of one of its most learned teachers.

The American Academy of Jewish research has announced its plans to issue the works of Moses

Maimonides in honor of his 800th aftRiversary in 1935. Leo Hebracus (Juda Abarbanel), philosopher of the 16th century has been honored in the publication of the third volume of the "Bibliotheca Spinozana," entitled, "Leone Ebraeo, Dialoghi tPAmore, Hebraeische Gedichte, with an Introduction in German by Carl Gebhardt. David Neumark's "Toldoth ha-Pilosofia B'Yisrael," second volume, has appeared, edited by Prof. Samuel S. Cohan of the Hebrew Union College faculty, which has also published another "Yearbook."

Bess Weinstein Is Accepted By Civic Repertory Theatre A.local'youthful genius in the field of dramatics—Bess Weinstein — is rapidly achieving a place of prominence in the histrionic world. Miss Weinstein -was accepted for the select apprentice group of the Civic Repertory Theatre Inc. of New York, according to a telegram received Tuesday evening by Mrs. .1. H. Kulakofsky, chairman of the scholarship committee of tha Omaha Council of Jewish Women. Scholarships cannot be bought in this group, but must be earned on sheer merit. No charge is made by the institution and applications from every corner of the country pour into their offices annually, with only thirty chosen each year. Miss Weinstein owes her present successful advancement in dramatics directly to the Center Players GuilJ and the Council of Jewish Women.-When she became a charter member of the Center Players Guild a few years back, she had had no theatrical or dramatic experience; •was, indeed, a novice. But under the tutelage of the Guild, directed by Mrs. Herman Jahr and sponsored by the Jewish Community Center,

EINSTEIN EVOLVES ANOTHER THEORY Prof. Albert Einstein The scientific worW is still ugog over the latest theory expounded by Professor Albert Einstein, internationally famous German-Jewish physicist and author of the theory of relativity. Einstein has especially endeared himself in the, hearts of the Jewish people because he has identified himself so closely with their problems and projects. According to the professor's newest theory space, rather than size or mat-

ter, should be regarded as the more fundamental idea in studying natural phenomena. When Professor Einstein speaks on one of his pet theorits, very few of the scientists can follow him. He claims that he will soon furnish final proofs of his unified field theory linking electricity and gravitation, which would give a single picture of the physical universe. >

Just before the roll call campaign a local contingent went to Kansas City to attend an extra-ordinary regional emergency conference. Repre-" sentatives from nine states attended. Prof. Gustave Klausner of St. Louis, chairman of the Southwestern Region, headed a delegation here in February for the first meeting of directors of the Southwestern Region. A dinner was given in their honor at the Athletic Club. The visitors also spoke that evening at a mass meeting at the J. a C. When Mr. Levenson became president he strongly believed that the cultural activities should be stressed. Cultural meetings were therefore held monthly to discuss all Zionist questions. Sometimes the president was able to get out of town speakers ae well as local ones. Rabbi Lewis of Sioux City addressed one of the meet~ ings. A. Cohn, Omahan who sojourned in Europe and Palestine, also gave his impressions when he returned. During Mr. Levenson's term of of-, fice, better co-operation was secured from all groups of the local Jewish community. The United Palestine Appeal was included in the local philanthropy drive, the first time that * Zionist drive was combined with local philanthropies. The Zionist Workers aided the drive to a successful conclusion. The Zionists are now working for closer unity and co-operation with the Hadassah and other groups in cnitural propaganda for the coming year. Plans will soon take definite form to interest the Jewish youth in-Zionism. Ben Kaslowsky was selected as chairman to form the Jewish Youth committee among university students ai»d Phil Handler to sponsor the Young Judaea movement.

ZIONISTS WILL FOUND LIBRARY FOR RESEARCH

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••MHUHHUlR

In order that there may be available an adequate source for all those who wish to do research work in current Palestine problems, the Zionist Organization of America has determined to establish a research library at its headquarters, 111 Fifth avenue, aceording to an announcement issued by Mr. Emanuel Neumann, chairman «.! Committee on Public Information. A preliminary sum has been set aside to secure the foundation for the library but it is proposed that Jews throughout the United States, interested in making an important research instrument out of the library, should contribute pamphlets, manuscripts, books and other material that might find a place in such a library. In announcing the library, Mr.; Neumann has issued an appeal for j contributions in the form of books, pointing out that a research library is a necessity in order to develop a more accurate and intimate knowledge of Zionist problems in America. "Every Jew who may have in his possession either duplicates or single copies of important pamphlets, manuscripts or books relating to the origin and growth of the Zionist movement, and discussing Palestinian problems both from, the idealogical and practical point of view, is urged to send as many as he can to the new Zionist research library . •

of the fruits of his labor, the right to sell or bequeath his interest and capacity to borrow. Besides buying of land, the Fund must interest itself in other activities. From 1921 to 1926, 25,000 dunams of swampy land in the Emek were drained and made fit for cultivation. Water supply, irrigation, afforestation, clearing land of stones where necessary, and laying of roads leading to colonies settled on Jewish National Fund land, are the activities of the National Fund. From 1908 to 1919, 800,000 trees were planted in the Herzl Forests. Until January, 1929,; .242,000 or ,58,000 acres of land in Judaea, .Samaria, the Valley of Jezreel (the "Emek"), Galilee and Haifa Bay region were redeemed. A*mong the public buildings on Jewish National Fund land are the Hebrew University at Jerusalem, Bezalel School of Arts at Jerusalem, Herzlia High School at Tel Aviv, Technological Institute at Haifa and Hadassah hospitals in Tel Aviv and Tiberias. Other Jewish National Fund land is used for colonization and experimental purposes. Also two girls' farms and children villages are functioning. Eight thousand pioneers—labor groups Hassidim, Mizrachi and others-—have been settled by the Keren Hayesod in 42 villages on Jewish National Fund land with water supply installed, by Jewish National Fund. - . The Jewish National Fund have their methods of raising money by placing of blue and white boxes in Jewish homes, Maccabean and Flower Day collections, Golden Book Inscriptions, dunam certificates, tree fund stamps, post cards, and endowment policies and bequests. Locally some of the enthusiastic Zionist workers, especially the women, are getting donations from persons wishing to honor the memory of the dead, Bar Mitzvahs, and when children get married. The following make up the council to date: John Feldman, Morris Friedel, Mrs. J. Rosenberg, Mrs. E. Weinberg, Mrs. N. Levinson, Mrs. L. Rosenblatt, Miss Sylvia Bernstein, Miss Fannie Katelman, Judah Wolfson, Morris Minkin, D. Klaiman, Abe Cohen, J. Tretiak, J. Riklin, Mrs. L. Neveleff, Mrs. S. Fish, Mrs. M. G. Cohen, Mrs. S.

M. F. Levenson, Mrs. J. Iintzman, Harry Mendelson, C D. Mendelson, Mrs. J. Hahn, Mrs. J. H. Kulakofsky, Mrs. S. Beber, B. Lindenbaum and Louis Kneeter. The council selected the following officers: Chairman, Dr. Morris Margolin; vice-chairman, Mrs. A. Silverman; secretary, Dr. O. S. Belzer; and treasurer, J. Rosenberg. Chairman Dr. M. Margolin appointed chairmen for the various committees. The following have already accepted: Special events, Mrs. A. Silverman; box collections, Mrs. M. F. Levenson; synagogue collections, M. Venger; out state collections, Louis Kneeter; publicity, Morris Friedel; telephone squad, Mrs. I. Kulakofsky; motor corps, Paul Bernstein; Golden Book, J. Lintzman; stamp sales, B. Klaiman. The council has existed a short time but the outlook looks very promising. Mrs. A. Silverman was chairman of the seventeenth annual Flowar Day, held June 15. More workers, more enthusiasm, more money was raised for the National Fund this year. Mrs. M. F. Levenson as chairman of the boxes is working hard to put that branch of the work on a systematic basis. Cards are being made for every box placed and regular routes will be handled by volunteer Zionist workers. There are at present about 200 boxes out, but workers feel more boxes can be distributed soon. The committee on stamp sales expects to raise money before the High Holidays by. getting synagogues to place a stamp upon every ticket sold.

J.W.W.O. Twenty-five years ago the Jewish Women's Welfare Organization came to be as an-answer to a definite need. It was just about this time that; the United States received several waves of immigration. The back-wash of this flood of new-comers was felt in every city in the United States. Omaha in common with other cities received its share and it was to cope with this problem that the Jewish Women's Welfare Organization dedicated its efforts. These women took it on themselves to interpret America to these immi-: grants—they guided them through

the maze of new ways—they extended a helping hand in the problems of the home—they helped with the school— they restored hope by means of fi-

Mrs. A. Greenberg, President of the Jewish Women's Welfare Organization nancial assistance and employment— until slowly but surely the clouds of misunderstanding begin to drift away. Now, twenty-five years later, the Jewish Women's Welfare Federation is facing a new frontier. There is talk that there will be less and less need for relief work, that social work insists on a definite technique and there will be less need for volunteer assistance. But there still remains plenty for these beneficent women. For example, there are thirty Jewish dependent children under the care of the Jewish Welfare Federation. Twenty-five are in the Orphan Home in Cleveland, three in Denver Nation-

al Sheltering Home and two in a Fos ter Home here. Sixteen of these thirty children will be sent back to Omaha soon. The J. W. W. O. will do its utmost to place the child in an atmosphere of love and understanding. They will visit regularly the family where these children are placed and will look out for the welfare of the child. In this field their work is unexcelled. During this past year on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the organization, they presented the Free Loan Society with a gift of $500, and in the past year have given the J. C. C. $200, the Chest $300, School Milk Fund $45, Old Peoples' Home §100, Jewish Philanthropies $100, Palestine Eelief Fund $25, and Fresh Air Camp $25. The present officers are Mrs. A. Greenberg, president; Mrs. Nate Mantel, honorary president; Mrs. Harry Rachman, vice-president; Mrs. J. Malashock, secretary; Mrs. William Holzman and Miss Blanche Zimman, financial secretaries; Mrs. Charles Levinson, treasurer.

Daughters of Zion The Daughters of Zion were organized in April, 1924. Its two hundred members work practically entirely for the Jewish National Fund who in return for their services purchase "dunams" of land in Palestine and send the local group certificates of the purchase. This year the Daughters of Zion undertook a most worthwhile project, that of installing a water supply in a settlement near Behovoth in Palestine. This will entail an expense of •five thousand dollars' over a period of five years and includes the construction of a well, machine house, motor, pump, pipes, and a cistern. The water supply is a vital necessity for the succesa of the colony, which consists- of fifty families, ranging in age from 35 not go to the doctor—she doesn't speak English, and is afraid to face his questioning—very well, the Bikur Cholim sends one of its willing members, and you may lean on her for comfort and good cheer.

H A T is DUSTLESS COAL?" It is coal of any kind or size that has been sprayed with a certain chemical under high pressure. Coal or coke properly treated will permit handling without loss. It can be placed in your coal bin without the small particles sifting through the cracks of the bin and being carried to all parts of the home. This chemical treatment does not reduce the amount of fuel you receive nor does it affect the burning quality in the least. It is the same quality of fuel you have

received from us in the past, now made dustless. You may have dustiess coal delivered even on wash-day without inconvenience. You will learn that Dustless Coal saves cleaning the walls, curtains, and furnishings after your season fuel requirements have been delivered. Our trucks and wagons are operated by courteous and intelligent men. They will not cut up your lawn or injure your property in any way. We extend the same consideration we would expect. There is no extra charge for dustless coal.

Ckesd Shel Esies Cheaed Shel Ernes—"» ;favor of righteousness"—and in every sense of the meaning of the phrase, the Chesed Shel Ernes Society lives up to the'interpretation. As in life He has created all men equal, so they are entitled to an equal consideration after they are goneJ The Chesed Shel Ernes Society maintains their .own funeral, home, a place where an orthodox Jew can have his rites performed in a Jewish way. Half of the ridicule for our ceremott ials comes from misunderstanding. In the Chesed Shel Ernes Home, everything is private—beautifully unmolested, and the ancient customs of interment are observed according to Jewish law throughout the ages. ' People who pay have always given splendid donations; those who are'unable to pay receive the same consideration. In the very near future the society hopes to enlarge the Home, having already purchased the adjacent lot. - . ':, * - ;" *•The Chesed Shel Emes Society was organized in 1924, by Mrs. H. Levey. The officers are: President, Mrs. J. Milder; vice-president, Mrs. L. Neveleff; secretary, Mrs. Weinzweig; treasurer, Mrs. H. R. Milder. The Board of Directors consists of nine members in addition to the officers. At. present there are 350 members.

Jr. Hadassah The past year marked another mfleaton* on the path of monumental achievement which has marked the career of th eJ unior Hadassah since its organization in 1928. Whenever a worthy cause was in need of aid, the local chapter of the Junior Hadassah was always there

with a helping hand. Selfessness instead of selfishness has been the foundation.about which this organization of girls 18 years and over has built up its reputation for philanthropic service. The Omaha chapter which boasts of 130 members in good standing has pursued.an active program which was in part directed by the national organization and in, part by the local Senior Hadassah.- Close harmony has prevailed between the senior and junior groups in raising funds for the various Palestinian activities. The past season opened auspiciously with a mammoth bazaar held in conjunction with the Senior Hadassah. This affair was a brilliant success, due mainly to the spirit of- co-operation which predominated. An excellent means of raising ad' ditional money and at the same time furnishing appreciated, entertainment was evolved by the sponsorship of a series of progressive bridge parties. When the National Fund issued an appeal for volunteer! workers, many of the Hadassah girls lent their aid. They also contributed generously to the .Jewish Philanthropic fund, besides participating actively in almost every other beneficent drive. Several social hits were also held. Several theater parties, a membership tea, a studio party, hikes and swimming parties rounded' out a well-balanced program. A large representative contingent attended the South West regional convention. The delegates elected were Ula Alberts, Tobye Steinberg, Ida Fine, Ida Platt, Clara Katzman, Sylvia Bernstein, Ann Greenberg. The Omaha delegation captured first prize for staging the most unique and clever stunt to be put on by the various chapters. Upon their return, the girls were hostesses at another very successful event, a Mother-Daughter Bridge party. The present officers of the organization are: Ida Platt, president; Rose Lazarus, vice-president; Bess Bernstein, corresponding secretary; Sarah Kurtzman, recording secretary; Dora Markowitz, financial secretary; Evelyn Kaknan, reporter; Esther Goldware, sergeant-at-armsj Grace Rosenstein, parliamentarian. The board of directors consists of Tobye Steinberg, Ula Alberts and Sylvia Bernstein. Mrs. Max Fromkin is senior advisor of the group.

Fluchtwanger Sees Jews in Future Playing Leadind Role peoples. Only in the last two hundred years has it again been able to participate in this development. It has probably not yet overtaken the leading white groups in this technical field; but it is in advance of them in what it very early appropriated in the way of social instinct from the religious heritage of the colored cultural peoples." Daring their early history, according to Mr. Feuchtwanger, the Jews had the advantage of living on the edge of three continents and of appropriating different cultures. "From the east," he says, "the teaching was constantly pressed upon them of the necessity of not willing, of not acting, but of ascending into the Great Nothingness. From the west the teaching •was incessantly hammered in on them that man was born for action and for conflict. To the south of them loomed large and shadowy the Egyptian teaching of the conquest of death through persistence and wariness of the eternal conservation of being. The east taught them to pass away; the west taught them to become; the south taught them to be. They took these three lessons, to themselves, fused them one with another, adapted them to one ^another, until a new, great whole appeared, a law they shaped through two thousand years— the Bible." Its early history, continues Feuchtwanger, "modeled the Jewish group into representatives of a strange organic blending of Asiatic renunciation and of European thirst for action. It

is no accident that the white race's two fundamental books of doing and non-doing—the Old Testament and the New Testament—sprang from the Jewish intellectual spirit." Of the Jewish role in the world today, Mr. Feuchtwanger says: New Yor.—(J. T. A.)—The nev.

Postponing" Coronation of Carol Worries Jews Bucharest.—(J. T. A.)—Considerable disquietude has been aroused in Jewish and governmental circles by the report in the Bucharest paper, Cuvantul, that King Carol's coronation scheduled for September, has been postponed until the spring of 1931, when the peace of the country will be assured it is hoped by an improvement in economic conditions. The Cuvantul, whose authority for the report i s reliably informed court circles, says that the king is not inclined to go -through with the coronation ceremony in view of the worries that are disturbing the government and oppressing the population. This is seen as an indication that the peace of the country,,and particularly the immediate suppression of j the anti-Semitic disturbances are un- • certain for the near future, and the] Jewish population is consequently worried. .

Simultaneous with this jpowth in Omaha and the sprouting of new residential districts came the advent of the automobile. The hjrseless carriage revolutionized the grocery business along with every othertype of industry, and by 1910 the progressive grocers were delivering to their customers every day by auto. This expansion came suddenly, a^-:it was the grocer who kept pace •w-th this growth who became the leader of the industry in the city.

JEWISH GROCERS INCREASE Omaha had been growing steadily and the Jewish grocer was developing with it. By 1910 the Jewish grocers had increased to where they numbered close to the hundred mark. But the biggest growth and expansion in the grocery business, espedallj from the Jewish angle, was yet to come. The increasing population grew more rapidly and new additions sprang everywhere. This of course meant the opening of more grocery stores, the greater percentage of which were by Jews. "Prom bulk to package" summar-

The natural medium was tKf Omaha Eetail* Grocers' Association, who educated the people as to the evil-of the chain grocery's inferior goods, smaller weights, and other manifold disadvantages. And the grocery diain was held at bay in Omaha with far greater success than in other cities because of the wide awc&e alertness and better business and merchandising ability of the Omaha grocers, banded together in this association.

The business was tjegun on a small scale wifch assistance from St. Joseph. But gradually the house expanded with the development of the country and the increase of grocerymen. McCordBrady progressed until it was soon maintaining branch houses to supply the tfade in various territpries. They now have these branches established in Hastings, Neb.; Cheyenne, Wyo.; Casper, Wyo.; Sheridan, Wyo.j Rapid City, So. Dakota; and Leeds, So. Dakota. There are many names connected with the McCord-Brady institution are familiar to Omaha oldtimers. Frank Eggleston, city salesman, is the oldest man with the hpuge. H. G. Hoel is the oldest Omaha groceryman in point of years in the .>Vhplesale house. Other long service men with them are Arthur Tebbins, C. E. Mathews, Kqbert Ba^ cm and C. W. Hinsley..

PAXTON-GALL AGHER Paxton-Gallagher started business in Omaha in 1864, developing from a very inauspicious beginning to its present growth. They have branch hcuses at Deadwood, Crawford, Hastings, Casper and Cheyenne, and thoroughly cover the surrounding territory by freight shipments, faxton-Gallagher has built yp a wonderful coffee business, having special coffee branches, for instance, at Des Moines, Sioux City, I^^pshalltewn, , Cedar Eapids, Fprf t>pdge, Glinton, Dubuque and Aberdeen and Albertlee. The first can of BatterNut coffee was roasted in 1886. When they started their roasting plant 5,00 pounds per day was a record output, while today the average is over 40,000 pounds eacji P. J. "Paddy" Nestor, "who Joined the firm in 1889, has been with the institution the longest. When he started, the company had only two city salesmen with ten in the country. The total number of employees was fifty, not even a fifteenth of the present number. Two small wagons driven by mules did the city delivery then, rather insignificant when compared with the fleet of trucks giving service today. At the time the space occupied by the firm •was limited to 132 square feet. They gradually acquired more buildings, till now they occupy the space from the tenth street viaduct to eighth street on Jones. With Paxton-Gallagher there are also a good number of old-timers whose names are familiar to Omaha groeerymeri. These include Dick Winkleman, I. J. Doyle, Dick Downey, F. L. Pierce, F. S. Keogh, and many others.

Thus ends the story of the minds, that • have helped make grocery his- j tory in Omaha. A common bond of j fellowship has been tamped into place by these men, sealed with the; brotherhood of the grocery fraternity. May their glory continue undiminished.

Summary and Analysis o/ 5690 in Palestine r

During the Past Year the Arabs Have By Their Constant Agitation Done All Possible to Discourage the Jewish People By GERSHON AGRONSKY The hardest to bear, the year 5690 the easiest to review. Although looking at the calendar the 1929 disaster should be debited to 5689, the aftermath was felt long after 5690 was ushered in. September saw the continuance in >, somewhat desultory form of what in August had been wrought in an organized and concentrated way. By the end of September the Jewish Telegraphic Agency correspondents in Palestine compiled a list of fifty-three crimes of varying degrees of gravity committed upon Jews after the; organized disturbances had been apparently checked. Rosh Rashannah 5690, although uneventful from the point of view of the police, was received by a stricken Jewry under the impress of the bloody holocaust. The events of every hour of every day beginning August 23 and ending September 1 have been so faithfully reported and so indelibly imprinted on Jewry's memory that no recapitulation of them £ year later is either needful or merciful They mark a turning point in the life of the Yishuv by which one remembers every other occurrence. Like the Great War to the world at large, people in Palestine fix public and private events as either pre or post riot.

months of February and March, 1930, when the persecution of religion in Russia was being universally condemned, following a declaration by the Vatican, published February 9, 1930, appealing to all creeds to raise their voices in protest. The perilous state of the Jewish religion in Russia was referred to and discussed by the executive committee of the American Jewish Committee in the report submitted by it to the 23rd annual meeting of that organization, on November 1, 1929, as in many preceding reports. The American Jewish congress called a conference on the subject early in December in New York City. When, in February, various churches in America decided to act in compliance with the suggestion which had been made by Pope Pius XI, a large part of the Jewish community showed eagerness to participate in the movement.

In spite of the heat of the day, a huge procession was organized in New York City on June 5th, as an expression of grief and disappointment. Those found an echo in the congress of the United States, where, on June 17,1930, the Honorable Hamilton Fish, Jr., a representative from New York City, spoke on the matter, expressing the view, that "it may become necessary for the government of | the United States to call upon the government of Great Britain to inquire with regard to its future intentions in.

THREE—E—THE JEWISH PRESS, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1930 admission of relatives of aliens already in the country and make the administration of the law humane in other respects. The American Jewish Committee and the American Jewish congress with the co-operation of their affiliated bodies combatted the proposed registration of aliens and sent representatives to hearings before committees of both houses of the United States congress, at which various proposed measures were discussed. But the record of the first regular session of the 71st congress was largely a negative one, in respect of both the liberalization of immigration and naturalization laws and efforts to make them more restrictive in character.

The economic status of the Jews of Lithuania is even worse than that of their brethren in Poland. A fact-finding commission which visited the country in the summer of 1929, under the auspices of the Federation of American Jews of Lithuanian Descent, reported that the situation of the Jews is almost helpless. The country, which is largely an agricultural one, has practically no trade relations with important European centers, and has very little domestic commerce, with the result that the Jews, who were tea great extent traders before the War, have almost no means of earning a livelihood. "It is hardly an exaggeration to say," said the Commis- j sion, "that about seventy-five percent. of the Jews await impatiently the; funds which are sent from America." ; Political conditions improved with the fall of the reactionary government of Waldermaras in September. One of the first acts of the new government was the dissolution of the "Iron Wolf," a terroristic organization, somewhat similar to the infamous Awakening Magyars of Hungary. The existence of Jewish schools has recently become extremely difficult

JEWS SETTLED ON LANDS The work of settling Jews on the land made considerable progress duri ing the year. In February, Dr. Joseph Rosen, the director of the Agro-Joint and of the American Society for Settling Jews on the land in Russia, announced that in 1930 a total of over fifteen million roubles was to be de] voted, by the government to this work, 1 in addition to four million roubles I which were to be contributed by i foreign organizations; the program on which this money was to be spent included the placing of over 30,000 per! sons in industry or under training to work in factories.

proposal of Arthur Henderson, the British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, that the council appoint a special commission to investigate and settle the Wailing Wall dispute, was unanimously agreed to. In May, the commission which consists of a Dutchman, a Swede, and a Norwegian/was appointed. It opened its sessions in Jerusalem on June 23rd. Two days later, a memorandum was submitted by the Jewish Agency tracing the historical connection of the Jewish people with the Wailing Wall and suggesting that the Moslem supreme council should exchange the properties along the approach to the Wall and accept in place of it new buildings of equivalent size upon some eligible site in Jerusalem. The memorandum was based upon a draft prepared by Dr. Cyrus Adler, president of the Jewish Theological Seminary and of the American Jewish committee. •

READY TO SERVE

E ' R E not much good at writing greeting cards. We're much better at baking bread. In fact, we think we're practically perfect at baking slo-baked Wonder Bread. And you and a lot of other people just like you in Omaha must think the same thing. For every day that passes our ovens turn out more slo-baked Wonder Bread than they did the day before. We thank you! Slo-baked Wonder Bread is good bread. It's made of the best ingredients money can buy, carefully blended and so thoroughly baked tbat every loaf is done clear through to the very beart. Tbat's why it doesn't crumble. And wby it retains all tbe flavor of every perfect ingredient that goes into it. Anything you make with bread you can make better with slo-baked bread . . . puddings, stuffings, toast, sandwiches, canapes and croutons. And now you can get slo-baked Wonder Bread in its regular form or, if you prefer, you may have Wonder-Cut, the same slobaked loaf, sliced for your convenience. Ready instantly for the table, for sandwiches for toast. Your grocer has both forms of this bread fresh from our ovens twice a day, every day. Your old friends,

THREE-i-F--THE JEWISH PRESS, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2$-1980

Why Rabbis Scold in the Holiday Sermons (Continued from Page 2-F.) synagogue, the community center, the Hebrew school and the various con> munal Jewish philanthropies that are always mentioned in the critical holiday sermons. He warns the congregation that the synagogue may have to be closed, that the number of classes in the Talmud Tprah may have to be cut, that it may be necessary for the local Jewish hospital to curtail its services, that the home for the aged may have to reject many applicants, that the charity federation cannot meet all the demands made upon it and that there is danger of the mortgage on the community center being foreclosed unless the Jews of the community are more liberal in their financial support. While these dangers are not always as imminent as the rabbi would have his congregation believe, the situation is serious enough to warrant his appeals being embellished by such dire warnings. At this point in the annual scolding the resentment of the congregation almost reaches the boiling point. Some members have given liberally while others have been laggards. In selfdefense the latter claim that business is bad, the congregation spends, too much, there is a lack of efficiency, the teachers and the rabbi are paid too much and the community center has expanded too rapidly. The man who has given much of his time and money resents being asked for more and at the same time being lumped With his laggardedly neighbor in the general scolding. Breeds Resentment The rabbi's annual criticism of his fcongregation for its failure to take a greater interest in social problems also breeds resentment. A catastrophic coal strike, political corruption, disarmament, child labor legislation, radicalism and a hundred and one other things of daily import are matters for rabbinical discussion in the rabbi's opinion, but his congregaton cares little or nothing about them. The holiday worshippers feel this criticism•'•'entirely unwarranted and even resent the rabbi's bringing them op. The congregation wants the rabbi to speak about religious matters and lLTiiitBp

these current problems are held to be non-religious and should have no place in a sermon, especially a holiday sermon. The congregation wants the rabbi to. talk about shofar-blowing, the power and meaning of fasting and such harmless subects. Quite as suddenly as he began his attack, just as suddenly does the rabbi end it. But his holiday congregation is no longer listening as attentively as when he started. Some are out in the halls and corridors and others have gone home. Some are already nursing a grudge which wfll burst forth when the time comes to renew the rabbi's contract. Here and there are some earnest souls who agree with the rabbi's estimation of the congregation's failings and promise themselves to do better during the coming year. While these people share the general resentment they realize that the Tabbi's scolding is justified. After the holidays the words of the rabbi will have a brief effect. The business of the kosher butchers will increase, enrollment in the Talmud Torah will mount; The facilities of the community center will become more popular. Friday night candles will gleam from more Jewish homes and it will be easier to get a minyan for Fridaylnight and Saturday services A feeling of contriteness has replaced that of resentment. But after a few months the , old state of affairs is again in evidence and the rabbi begins preparations for his next annual scolding, v . V ' . . . . •

Mr. Cooper has also built two of Omaha's most beautiful schools, having constructed Beal school at 48th and Center and Washington school at 55th and Mason streets. The type of work done by Mr. Cooper is varied. For example, he built the Phillips Petroleum Company offices and warehouse at 26th and Creighton and during his contracting days has built a large number of store buildings, too innumerable to mention.

Recently he built the store and garage building at 35th and Leaven worth streets and the store buildings at Military and Miami. He also lately finished the Piggly Wiggly store at 30th and Ames and the one at 33rd and California, besides the Hinky Dinky store at 33rd and California. Many lovely Omaha homes are the product of Mr. Cooper's ability. He built the home of the late Dr. Nathan Bernstein and also the beautiful home of Jake Slosburg. Another of his recent efforts which

FROM HUBERT ESTATE

By Nina Kaye The day began for her with the cheery ringing of the telephone. Pauline patted her mouth, not because she was yawning, but it added to her sense of luxury, lying in bed and reaching out indolently for the telephone. Pauline spoke carelessly in the direction of the transmitter. "Yes. Yes. Why, I'd loVe to." When she hung up, her arms slid along the pillow, until her hands clasped over her head. Mrs. Nate Solomon wanted her to come to lunch. Pauline sipped the delicious satisfaction of being invited to lunch by Mrs. Solomon. She never had gotten over the startled pleasure it gave her, being sought out by people like Mrs. Solomon. In the old days—ten, thirteen, oh, what did it matter how

many years ago?—people like Mrs. Solomon didn't pay much attention to Pauline Glanz, who taught English at the high school and who was slipping into old-maidenhood without anyone doing anything to prevent the catastrophe. Smart young matrons like Mrs. Solomon had nothing in common with Pauline Glanz. While they were buzzing with their social life, Pauline was teaching their children and looking ahead to the lonely, bleak years. Then, everything had changed. Everything had worked out so perfectly. Mrs. Pauline Kahn was somebody. She was asked everywhere. She had her choice of companions. Her home became the rendezvous of the younger crowd, perilously near forty

Happy New Year

A HAPPY NEW YEAR Benjamin Franklin as a youth in Boston once shocked his parents by suggesting that time could be saved, if instead at saying grace before each dish of sauerkraut, his father would simply recite the prayer before the whole barrel. It occurs to me that something of the same idea could be applied to other fields. .There is this matter of reading newspapers. Far be it from me as a veteran of the fourth estate to say ought in disparagement of newspapers. Indeed, what I am going to suggest is simply an extension of something that has already taken place,. in homeopathic form, in the making of newspapers. If you live in any of the big cities, nowadays, you do not of course, wait until Monday morning to get your Monday newspaper. You buy it on Sunday evening.

MARSHALL AND MACK I remember some years ago working on a Cincinnati paper, I was sent by that veteran journalist, Ike Ritchell, then managing editor of the Commercial-Tribune to cover the organization meeting of the Joint Distribution Committee in Cincinnati. If it wasn't that, it was something like that. Anyway, Louis Marshall and Judge Julian Mack were to be the principal speakers. My paper would be on the street about 10 p. m., in other words before the meeting was over. And yet we wanted a full story of the meeting. Ordinarily, speakers release some advance copy of their addresses, but in this case, neither had any. I asked Mr. Marshall 4f he could tell me what he "was going to say. "Well," he replied, "you heard me at lunch today. You won't go wrong, if you keep to the same general track." Well, that wasn't so bad. I put the same question to Judge Mack. "I havent the least idea of what I am going to say," he replied. "Well, Judge," we said, "I am going to make a speech for you." "Go ahead,*' he replied, "I have liad worse things happen t© me." And so at 10 o'clock that night; the people coming out of the theater, where the mass meeting was held, read the speeches, which neither of the speakers made. And were they any the worse for it? I doubt it.
