.HERE'and
THERE
D ". Il. smitA

Notwithstanding some cOnspicu-
Gus and discOuraging exceptions
there is little reason to doubt that
the leaven of cooperation and bet
ter understanding is making itself
felt in the Twin Cities.
Several significant happenings of
recent date testify to the truth of
this assertion. Z
The fine response of our citizens
TO the recent presence of Mrs.
Halle Carper and the widely ex-
pressed appreciation Of her ability
20 bring US valuable lessons IL
household economy is only one of
many indications that we can and
sometimes do take pride in the
competent leadership of our group.
The recognition accorded to
Halle @. Brown and Phyllis Wheat
ley Community Houses as centers
of beneficial builders of community
welfare is another strong indica-
ton of the powerful influence of
sincere cooperation as taught and
practiced in these institutions.
The purposeful development of
the Minnesota-Iowa Association
definitely shows that club life in
our cities may furnish to its mem
bership more than a means for
the pleasure of the moment. 1t
can also lend itself to the establish
ment of aims and ideals of inesti-
mable and far-reaching value.
The concrete results of unified
political action made during the
last local campaign offer encOur-
agement for further unity along
this important highway of racial
progress.
There are other examples that
might be cited. These, however
are enough to prove the point.
All of our people who have lee
or have supported these desirable
advances deserve, and will have
the thanks of our awakening com.
munity.
These efforts are made often il
sacrifice and in spite of those who
have no better excuse for hinder
ing criticism than a desire to share
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1937-11-19

the spotlight they have in no de-
gree helped to create.
The Sumner Field Project is
coming on at an amazing pace. In
fact, construction is fully ten days
ahead of schedule.
The completed houses are going
to be both beautiful and conven-
iently modern.
The question of rent for the
buildings is still unsettled. It will
remain so until the project is prac-
tically finished.
More than a. thousand applica-
tions have been made, most of
them by former and prospective
white tenants while only a few
more than 400 families can be ac-
commodated. n gg
Those who lived IL the area be-
fore will have first choice of Local
ton. Occupancy will undoubtedly
be based on the character of the
applicant in addition to ability to
meet the rental charges.
Application blanks may still be
had by either former tenants or
others who wish to live in these
well appointed houses. Blanks will
be furnished blythe Phyllis Wheat
ly House or the Minneapolis Ur-
ban League. I =
But there should be no undue de-
lay. 1t won't be long now!

there are so many treatments
proves that there is no specific that
always works.
Studies have not revealed alb
solutely the cause of the common
cold. Due to the fact that colds
are contagious, it is believed that
germ or many germs have to do
with, the production of a cold. In
fact,- the same germs to be found
present when one has simple
cold are often found to be present
when one has deep cold, such as
a bronchitis or a pneumonia. Al
though the mucous membrane OF
the nose and throat is usually at
tackled, no one can say what pre-
vents the infection from travelling
downward to the deeper respira-
tory tract in every case.
An explanation simple to make
but hard to prove is that the ere
sistance to infection" is greater in
some people than in others. Yet
we see the apparently strong sue
cumb to pneumonia while the weak
resist it. The common cold with
it's paradoxes still needs much
study.
Much can be done, however,
though the cause is not known with
certainty. Common sense dressing
to protect the body from unaccus-
toned exposure is important. This
will vary for each individual de-
pending on his occupation and the
exposure that it entails. The body
should be kept dry as well as
warm when one is outside. Don't
be ashamed to wear rubbers or
heavy overshoes. Avoid people
who have colds and, as a corollary,
places that are poorly ventilated
or too crowded.
Do not depend on any "cure"
for cold, for there is none. Vac
cine seems to increase the body de-
tense in a few cases and may be
tried without harm. Otherwise a
cold must be treated symptomatic-
ally, rest being an important fac
tor in preventing complications.

SYNAGOGUE PLANS
 CHANUKKOH RITES
Jewish Winter Festival Holiday of Eight Days
 Starts Next Sunday

Chanukkoh, the Jewish winter festival which combines joyous cel- ebration with religious devotion, falls early in the secular calendar this year. The holiday begins next Sunday evening (November 28 l937) and will be celebrated in home and in synagogue for eight days.
 Known in English as "The Feast of Lights" or "The Feast of Dedi- cation," the holiday conmemorates the two thousand year old story of the deliverance of the Jewish peo- pie from the oppression of the Syrian Greeks. In the synagogue services during this season, the ideals of religious liberty and hu- man brotherhood are stressed.
 Central in the home celebration of Chanukkoh IS the lighting ot nine-branched Menorah, or can. celabrum. One light is kindled the first night, two, the secondhand SC on until on the eighth night, count klg the addition light which is used to kindle the rest, the entire can delabrum is ablaze.
 Gifts and goodies make Chan ukkoh an important holiday for the children. Parties and games, and the remembering of less fortunate mem- bers of the community, are the order of the week.
 Chanukkoh literally means "Dedi- cation" and takes its name from the fact that. the ancient Temple ir Jerusalem. was purified and re- dedicated to the service of God The historical personality mos intimately associated with the fes. tival is the figure of Judah Macca' beus who led the struggle to resis the Greeks and their command that the Jews should abandon theh God and worship zeus.
 Timely in the light of present. day world conditions is the Biblica verse from the Prophet zechariaf which Is read in the synagogue during Chanukkoh: Not by fnigh and not by power, but by My spirit saith the Lord of Hosts"

ETTA REEL STILL
 BELIEVED ALIVE

oxford, Mass, Nov. 22-(UP)- Belief that Etta Riel Is still alive was expressed by Q state detective today on the third anniversary of the disappearance of the 20-year- -old unwed mother and former State Teachers college co-ed.
 "Our latest clue" said State De- tective Edward J. Mccarthy of Worcester, "came only about a month ago, and 1t seemed so good I'm led to believe she's still alive. I've already written a letter to au- thoroties in the mid-western city where she was supposed to have been seen, and I'm waiting for Q reply"
 What caused him to place more than ordinary credence in the clue, he said, was that the informant was a onetime schoolmate of Miss Riel. It was only one of several reports received during the past year that she had been "seen" at various points, he added.
 The young women's family has remained steadfast in the belief she was still alive. ... ,

Works Board Gives Assent; Merchants
 Plan Start This Week
No Decorations Will Cross ThOrOughfares Liability {, Insurance Must Be Taken Electrical Code Ob-
 served Various Sectors to Present Gala Scene

The board included in it's per- mission the provisos that each group of merchants take out lia- bility insurance policies which are acceptable to the Corporation Coun- sel and also that the decorations, if including electric lights, meet the approval of the Electrical Inspector.
 At the special meeting the board reversed it's previous stand, which would have left the city without any holiday decorations in the shopping district, or at least have delayed the placing of the decora- tions until a short time before Christmas. As 1t stands now, the street decorations will be set up this week, and the shopping sector will exude @ Christmas atmosphere from Saturday on.
 Last Monday night, the works board rejected @ petition by Bank street merchants for permission to string decorations across the street. Action on a petition by South Main street merchants for permission to place decorations along, but not across, the streets, was delayed. The board will not yet allow any decora- tions across any streets.
 Bank street and South Main street merchants plan to set up the decorations this week. Groups of merchants on other downtown streets also plan cooperative action, among the groups represented be- ing those on West Main, East Main and Grand streets,
 During December this year, the stores in the downtown section will be open till 9 o'clock Thursday and Saturday nights, deviating from the usual custom of being open on Wednesday and Saturday nights.
