CARPENTERS FIRST CLASS MEN
Bishop Cowell in his Dogden News

Says:
Charley Kapelovitz's brother is the
contractor that is building his house
on the farm. That is the first time we
ever saw a Jew that was carpenter.
In the new testament we read that
Joseph and his son, Jesus, were car
penters. It's generally frst-class men
that you find in the carpenter business
Mr.. Kapelovitz is not heshy like his
brother Charles. He is muscular,
powerfully built man. The occupa-
ton seems to agree with him and he
must be made of stern stuff to build
houses in this kind of weather.

He would betray his own people
