A Happier Part

Once in while the immigration
authorities have a happier part to
play, a part that enables them to
satisfy some hearts desire, instead
of blasting it.
Such is the case of Solomon Korn-
field, who is on his way to Cleveland,
or soon will be, to meet the little
sister whom he left and lost sixty
eight years ago, when as a boy of
10, he journeyed to neighboring
Russian village to sing for pair
shoes.
He didn't get the pair OF shoes, so
he journeyed to another town and
still another, with travelling
minstrels. perfecting himself in
music and finally settling in Ger
many.
Last year, his sister, Mrs. Rebecca
Adelstein, who had moved to the
United States and married, ad-
vertised in European papers in an
effort to locate him.
The far-flung message found its
mark and the sunset CLOVIS for the
two children, who have been
separated so long, but whose love
fingered through the years.

THE MOMENT OF HESITATION

On June Z, 1776, Richard Henry Lee of Virginia

Independent States"
1t was a moment charged with suspense. Mem
bers looked at another wonderngly. The older,
the more conservative shook their heads. It was the
dream of young radical, a lovely dream, but it
could never be.
Britain was too mighty. Her power stretched
over the seven seas and her word was law around
the world A dsorganized band of colonies, arrayed
against the worlds empire In the heyday of her
power!
And so the sensible members of the Continental
Congress arose, one by one and cast their doubts

1t was the dreaded offer of compromise. 1t was
the time to call for the test the showdown Lee
called for It.

Lee had taken the way things are done The
colonies voted, seven to five, to let Jefferson head
