How closely the Germans calcu-

some Of the allied expeditionary

troopships when the sudden news
of the armistice came through-an
armistice for which the Russian

which German diplomacy, working
as ever closely hand in hand with

The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1940-09-27

This day marks a croSSrOad for
the Jewish people when it pauses
to take note of the turn Of events,
to examine all the occurrences of
the passing year, and to take a
mental journey into an uncertain
and untried future The world has
always viewed that future with
apprehension, with deep sense
of uncertainty, and perhaps the
Jewish people will find message
of hope and faith in the midst of
encouragement and despair, hope
lessness and confusion. Perhaps it
will realize anew, as it has done
for centuries in the past that the
great Judge of all times, our Faith
er in Heaven will not forsake it in
its most despairing moment.
At the junction of the old and
the new year the Jewish people,
as it enters into its synagogue and
temples will search it's own soul,
and will evaluate in light of its
own thought the status OF the al
fairs of men in general, and its
own destiny in particular. A pan
Drama of world conditions will
flash by, and passing before it
will be the scene of the widespread
restitution, the murderous as
sault upon nations and peoples,
the inner disintegration which is
threatening to undermine the very
foundations of civilization. It will
not fail to note with despair it's
own threatened destruction, and
it will soon behold the precarious-
ness of it's own life which is more
distressing than it ever has been
before. It will realize quickly that

in the train of world war comes
all that is hateful to the human
heart and the Jew is always the
hapless victim of this sinister
combination of evils. Unorganized
and defenseless he is prey to all
hate and fear of unciviliZed ma
lions.
The Jewish people will seek on
it's New Years day a glimpse of
hope in the many discordant notes
rising from far and near. It will
seek a buoy for it's spirit-to ena-
BILE it to face whatever may come
in the course of the contemporary
affairs. It will attempt to inter-
pref the world despairing state in
the light Of it's universal aspect,
and gather therefrom an attitude
of mind with which it will be able
to face the future courageously.
1t is judgment day according to
the Jewish tradition when God
considers the good and evil of men
and DEGREES accordingly. Nations
too, come under His scrutiny and
it is "decreed which countries are
destined for the sword and which
for peace, which for famine and
which for plenty" The Jewish peo-
pie finds in it's Rosh Hashonah
service a deeper faith in the ulti-
mate righteousness of the ways of
God. It will realize on this Rosh
Hashonah that the present confu-
sion has it's meaning and purpose.
It will gather greater faith from
the despair and Encouragement.
Like the hero of Shalom Asch's
fine classic Kiddush Hashem who
out of his deep despair came forth
with more profound faith, so
will the Jewish people find faith
in the tragedy which is it's own.
The hero, victim of the Chemel-
nicki prosecutions appears shat
tered and broken, bereft of all that
was dear unto him. In this mood
he walks into the market place in
Lublin. He sees an old man stand
ing before an empty booth crying
his wares. What are you selling?
Is not your booth empty?" He
asked the merchant, to which the
old man replied, II sell faith" So
will the Jewish people enter in to
its synagogues and temples to
gather deeper faith from it's in
tense tragedy. It will catch from
out of the chaos and confusion a
fresh vision of the meaning and
the indispensableness of faith.
Then truly will it cry out in the

A New Year
Message

By RABBI LEONARD j. MERVIS
of Temple Bethel, Pensacola, Fla.
AS a newcomer in the state of
Florida, I gratefully take this OPP
portunity to express my greetings
to the readers of The Southern
Jewish Weekly. I hope that the
coming months will bring great
Joy and abundant success to all
Of you.
At this season Of the year the
Jew customarily reaffirms his al
legiance to his faith and his tradi-
lions. There is much that needs to
be reaffirmed thi S season: the
faith that God still reigns SUI
preme; the knowledge that man
can live in peace with his neigh
Dor; the conviction that sacrifice
is not in vain; above all, the be-
lief that man is capable of pro-
ducing and preserving civilization.
1 have not lost faith in man. I
have faith in people, common or
binary people, people as you find
them and leave them. believe
that the majority of people de-
sire peace and conduct themselves
with dignity and honor. Therefore
there is hope for civilization. Evil
men now have their day. Some
where, somehow, the good people
of the earth will reassert them
selves and restore order to this
chaotic world. May that day come
speedily.

words of the Psalmist, From the
depth have I called Thee, 0 God"
Human nature is so constituted
that when man is comfortable, and
sustained by favoring circumstan-
ces, he can be happy without re-
course to faith, without thinking
deeply about human problems, but
when despair comes upon him, the
soul of the man stands lonely and
quivering before the eternal mys-
terry; then he turns again to the
spiritual source behind life, and
he seeks a sustaining power upon
which to lean his weary soul. Out
of such moments come the great
spiritually creative results of
mankind. So Job rises to Spiritu-
al heights not in his days of ma
terial success, when circumstances
favored him, his wealth at his
command, and his family about
him, but in days of sorrow and
pain, suffering and Illustration.
1t was then that the deeper cords
of his faith were sounded and he
rose to the utterance of supreme
truths. And jeremiah, man of sor-
rows, rose to infinite flights Of
the spirit when he beheld the
tragedy of his people, and lament
ed their fate. 1t was not until Mo-
ses went out unto his people and
looked on their burdens" that he
beheld a vision of the divine. So
the Jewish people in an age of
despair recognizes the nobility of
it's own faith and dedicates itself
anew to it. With greater zeal and
intensity the creative sources are
released. It's spirit takes flight to
produce thought and ideals which
have not been spoken heretofore.
The hopeful note in the present
despair is then the enrichment of
the spirit of Israel, and the aware
ness that something fine and no.
BILE will rise from the chaos. Like
the ancient Greek mythical bird,
the Phoenix, from whose ashes of
the old new and finer bird arose
to fly high, so will from the ashes
of our present world arise a finer
and richer world in general. World
history in general and Jewish his
tory in particular wei attests this
thought for in Jewish history days
of prosperity and ease did not pro-
duce great thought. It was in our
exile that the spirit took flight
when our ancestors sat by the riv-
ers of Babylon, longing for it's
homeland. There was the bitter
ness of an Egyptian slavery, which
produced the undying ideal of free
dom and liberty. There was the
Spanish Inquisition and it's subse-
Guent exile followed by the dis
covery of America. May it be re-
called that out of the tyrannies of
monarchy democracy comes forth
as shining light to teach a way
of life in which liberty and free
dom are given free play, and which
stands as a beacon light in the
world darkness to give hope in
despair. The Jewish spirit will
yet rise high as a result of the
great tragedy of its people. A
sympathetic approach to the Jew
ish faith and culture is rising
slowly and there are omens of a
reawakening which will be en-

HENRY WALLACE WEAR

For seven years, Henry Wallace with his tongue in his cheek, has studied the manners of polite So- ciety in the Nations capital. He has acquired an extensive wardrobe which includes the proper costume for every occasion-from tennis match to state funeral.
 But there is one item of gentle mans apparel which still has Henry puzzled. It is that waistband oi Persian origin known as the cum- merbund.
 Henry encountered a cummer- bund wearer at a party given by Sumner Welles. He blinked twice and said:
 Tn hot weather like this, can't see the point of wearing g thing like that around your mid dle. But I must admit it looks like a Venetian. gondolier."
 NOTE-The word cummerbund de- rives from the Persian words ka- mar 0oins) and band (fastening).

Islands in the Axis Sea
(New York Times)

(NeW York TimeS)
 Now that France has been conquered the total- tartan sea has submerged every democracy of Con- tnentaI Europe except for three little islands of free dom: Switzerland Sweden and Finland. All three have held bravely to their democratic institutions but all three know that their survival for another year. another month another week, is almost en- tirey at the mercy of the totalitaran forces that swirl around them.
 A case in point is Switzerland country so strong for its size well trained and well armed to fight for it's liberties that even the NaziS have thought twice about invading it. But the collapse of France has left the Swiss at Hters mercy without a single democratic ally at any point along their frontiers. Sweden. too, remains democratic, and a section of her press still dares to criticize Germany, but she is prisoner of the Axis in a semi colonial relationship to Germany Her world markets cut off by the German conquest of Norway and Den mark; she has just signed trade agreement with Germany which pushes her inexorably into the Ger man economic orbit, and she has had to allow free passage to German troops on leave from Norwegian duties, action which was protested recently by the British and by the Norwegian Government resi- dent in London.
 Finlands plight is the hardest of all, for Fin land is the only of the three which has sacrificed thousands of lives for the sake of staying free Her democratic institutions remain intact. but her omy is disrupted by the loss of her foreign trade, by the cost of rebuilding her devastated towns and by the effort to re-house and re-employ hundreds of thousands of refugees from Sovetoccupied territory Finnish democracy is under almost great strain from unemployment and poverty this summer as from Russian planes and guns in last winters It will be a miracle if Finland and the other inn prsoned democracies of Europe keep their heads above the rising tide of totalitarian power, unless that power is destroyed by Britain.

HOROSCOPE "The Stdrs incline
 but do not compe"
TUESDAY, AUGUST 20


 Adverse planetary influences dom mate today. There is an i'll omen for naval affairs and for commerce. Aviation comes under sway mak- ing for great expansion, but there will be an increase in serious &C., cidents.
 Heart and Home: Women should pursue routine affairs The femin- inc mind may be apprehensive and destructive thoughts of all sorts may assail young and old. Positive opti- mism should be cultivated as anew responsibilities multiply with the nearness of autumn. This is not an suspicious rule of the stars for romance. Young folk may be in- clined to play today and to ignore tomorrow. Present joys will be pur- sued in the spirit that the future is uncertain.
 Business Affairs: Unusual trade agreements are forecast as helpful to the United States which is to advance rapidly in it's volume of merchandising and manufacturing output While certain commercial channels are closed others will open. The autumn is to present many surprising conditions in the business world Banking and in surance will develop extraordinary methods of finance helpful in the future.
 National Issues: Tendencies on the part of Americans to ignore ,fu- ture troubles or difficulties will .em- phasize the need for haste when emergencies are recognized. The. re- sourcefulness of the greatest of de- mocracies will be demonstrated, by amazing attainments in prepared ness. Peril turks in political oppo- sition to plans which recognize the urgency of conScription and other extreme measures of preparedness
 International Affairs: The stars presage vast changes in the rela- tions of the United States to world affairs in which it is to be foremost as a power. The stars long have warned of naval activities in the Pacific Ocean where complicated claims will menace trade and com merce. Although many dire possi- bilities for the future may be vis- toned, the seers foretell success and prosperity after severe tests.
 Persons whose birthdate it is may be perplexed by numerous problems in business. Experiments should be avoided, so should love affairs.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be strongly individual, positive in opinions and impress sionable. They should be superior intellectually, good : natured and sympathetic.

MEDICINE AND DEFENSE

In an address which he delivered recently before the New York State Conference of Health Officers and Public Health Nurses, Surgeon General Parran made it plain that national defense involves health as well as arms workers well as soldiers
 An army of 100000 men will require 75OO doc tors not only to weed out the physically unfit but to keep those retained in good physical condition. far larger medical force than the Armys must watch over factories and workers, to it that hygenic conditions maintained and that disability through sickness and injury is kept at it's minimum Nor must res~arch be neglected Tt may be that the nation which first learns how to control influenza will by this knowledge tip the scales toward victory" the Surgeon General points out.
