II and the years. or
time are always a straight line in
my imagination. The New Year
holidays always appear as a
block at intervals on the line of
time and the space between each
block is different color.
AS the year progresses the line
always takes on definite hue in
my mind. However, this coming
year the line remains black while
I have the vague feeling that it
is going to be a hard one to travel.
Are we of the present genera
ton equipped to face the coming
year which is bound to be most
difficult? This question was dis
cussed one Saturday afternoon
about a month ago when had
several visitors. Of course, none
of us knew the answer, but we
proceeded to come to conclusion
by comparing ourselves with
grandmother.
It took strength to be a good
Jew in grandmother's day-even
aC If does in OlIrS
1t took strength of body and
spirit and will to perform all the
religious duties of the household
and to keep the Sabbath and the
holidays.
But perhaps grandmother wasn't
as active outside of her Jewish en-
vironment as we are and perhaps
she did not think that keeping
two sets of dishes was hypocriti
cal when you couldn't possibly
see how the butter could mix with
the meat when there was a heal
thy washing of the plate and fork
between the butter and the meat
Perhaps it simply served to re-
mind her that she was Jew when
there wasn't persecution to re-
mind her of the fact. Couldn't
keeping a religious home have
worked on her the same way as a
piece of string tied around our
finger will help us remember some
task?
And perhaps she was able to
keep the sabbath because she had
a free day to give having re-
manned at home throughout the
rest of the week? Perhaps she
liked peace better than bridge or
a shopping tour? Or perhaps she
realized that doing little things
for her religion every day made
it not so much surprise at being
called Jew when persecution or
the threat of it finally came her
way. Again, perhaps she knew
that there was concrete reason
for everything she was required to
do by her orthodox faith. But what
ever she thought, her observance
of the laws made her grow strong
in character and in will and
equipped her to face her hostile
world.
What do we possess to make us
strong in the face of adversary
We bantered that question back
and forth. None of us knew the
answer, except few zionists, per-
haps.

Words Of Washington EcIipsed
As Congress WithhoIds Funds

Galleys containing type for the
last ii books of a 81 volume set of
the definitive writings of George
Washington are destined for the
lead melting pot at the Govern
ment Printing Office unless Con-
gress appropriates funds soon to
pay the cost of printing and bind
ing, 1t was revealed today by Rep
resentative Sol Bloom, Democrat, of
New York.
Mr.. Bloom, who served as chair
man of the George Washington BIZ
centennial Commission, made the
disclosure after Senator Overton,
Democrat, of Louisiana introduced
a bill in the Senate to have the
Government pay the salaries of DR..
John G. Fitzpatrick and his as
sistant, Mrs. Katherine H. Clagett,
for the work done while they were
compiling the Washington manu-
scripts for the commission.
TWenty-six volumes of writings of
Washington were printed several
years ago at cost to the Govern
ment of about 100000. About 1926
sets of these volumes were sold.
Some went to libraries at a cost of
$50 a set. Individuals had to pay
SIS set. Since the sales were
conditioned on delivery of a COM
plete set of 81 volumes, Mr.. Bloom
fears the Government NAV have to
refund the purchase price to those
in possession of the first 26 volumes
unless the remaining IL volmes are
printed.
Aside from the 100000 spent on
printing the 26 volumes. Representa-
tive Bloom said it cost an additional
$4,000 to set the type for the II
unpublished volumes.
These books ought to be COM
pleted," he declared

Lodge, No. 285, OF Arlington and for
10 years lad been its chaplain. He

New York City. Before moving to
nearby Virginia in 1898 he had
resided for 10 years in Washing
ton. He retired from the Bureau

the books was done by DR.. Fitz-
patrick, founder of the manuscript
division of the Library OF Congress
and recognized scholar on George
Washington. Mrs. Clagett, who lives
in University Park, Md, did the
stenographic work.
DR.. Fitzpatrick died In February.
Although the appropriation for the
compilation and publishing of
Washington's writings ran out in
1888, he and his assistant worked
on until his death. Mrs. Clagett
added the finishing touches.
Senator Overton introduced the
bill to compensate them for their
unpaid labors. The measure calls
for payment to the estate of Dr.
Fitzpatrick of $6,666.65, and to Mrs
Clagett $2,700 with an additional
$3.50 for miscellaneous expenses in
CURED during the work.
DR.. Fitzpatrick's 16 year old
daughter is living with her aunt,
Mrs, Catherine Rogers, in the
Methodist Building.
