ers may ignore, but not so easily
the Jewish scribe. welcoming
the Bride" is one of the great
Jewish traditions.
"These are the things" reads the
Talmudical portion which we re-
peat in our synagogue liturgy
whose interest we reap in this
world and the capital in the world
to come, to wit, honoring your
father and mother, hospitality to
strangers, visiting the sick, well
coming the bride, burying the dead
and bringing peace between a man
and his neighbor."
Yes, welcoming the bride is one
of the topmost Jewish mitzvoth.
The custom was so deeply ingram
ed that Jews went among the
richer ones and solicited money in
order to give some poor girl a
dowry.
It is related of one of the sages
of the Talmud that sometimes dur
ing his teachings he would look
out of the window and see "a bridal
procession and, judging that the
groom and bride were a poor
couple, because it was poorly at
tended, he would recess school
and he and all of his pupils would
leave their books to join in the
procession"
1t is related of the Jewish king,
Agripa, that once while he and
his encourage were proceeding
through the streets of Jerusalem
the party encountered a bridal
procession. He halted his own
party, saying, 1T wear the crown
all year round, let the bride wear
the crown today" And so the
bridal possession was given the
right of way.
In the case of Elizabeth it was
not necessary to interrupt any
scholarly studies to permit the
scholars to join the procession.
The Princess had a large enough
attendance.
But, if any more had been neces-
sary, perhaps the British Govern
ment would have relented for a
moment and permitted some of the
Jews in the DIP camps, perhaps,
some of the Exodus passengers,
to join in. They would doubtless
ly have preferred to march in
such a parade rather than languish
in a concentration camp.
But I do not want to get bitter.
1t is too easy to do. It would
be easy, for instance, to suggest
analogies between the British to-
day and Agrippa. Agrippa was a
very democratic king, very much
beloved by the Jewish people, but
the Roman Government which re-
ally controlled Judea in that day,
though it permitted a Jewish king,
was a little vexed by the pros
perity of the Jewish state under
his rule and, finally, was respon-
sible for his assassination.
But as say, do not want to
get bitter. Elizabeth may be the
future queen of England, but she
is also just a plain young girl,
who has the right to the joy of all
brides. After all, marriages are
made in Heaven, Jews are wont
to say. And who would dare
oppose a Heavenly decree?

In connection with the study of
thrift, Mr.. Henry Hazel of Dover
spoke to the Senior Civics groups
on the benefits of insurance in es-
tablishing system, savings, and Sc
curity. Mr.. Hazel has been with
the Continental Life Insurance
Company for 80 years In estab-
llshing system he showed that it
developed the responsibility of
meeting payment. AS a result. of
these payments money accumu-
lates with interest. Therefore, it
is system of savings. These saw
ings assure security. Straight life
insurance guarantees this security
by providing not only for funeral
expenses but also for family ex-
penses during periods of emerg-
ency.
Mr.. Hazel pointed out that small
policies taken on babies often pro-
vide means of education for
them. Certain types of endowment
policies provide for monthly pen
sion after certain age limits-us-
ually 65 years. He also explained
endowment and term insurance
and gave examples of each. He
then gave the class the opportun-
ity of asking questions. Many
seniors asked questions about
phases of insurance which they
didn't fully understand. This dis
cussion was very beneficial and
