| TOUR AMERICA
By DIR. Israel Mf Goldman

(EDIIORS MULE: DOcIOr Is
rael M. Goldman, President of the
Rabbinica1 Assembly of America,
has made 10000 mile tour, which
took him to Houston, Texas, and
the length of the West Coast as
far north as British Columbia.)
On the West Coast today there
is increasing awareness of the
spiritual and religious aspects OF
Jewish life. Our people are be-
ginning to realize that it is not
enough to gather funds for the
Jews of Europe while the Ameri-
can Jewish community itself sick
ems spiritually and emotionally.
The symptoms of the sickness
of Jewish life in the parts of the
country I visited were every
where in evidence. You see the
self-styled Jewish -Four Hun
dred" in many cities pouring hun
dreds of thousands of dollars into
Jewish country clubs and Jewish
golf clubs, believing that they can
achieve Jewish social cohesion
with the cement of lobster salads
and cocktails. You see thirty to
forty per cent of the Jewish
young people in some communi-
ties marrying outside the faith,
making the ultimate break with
their heritage. Or you notice
Jewish students on the college
campus, afraid of being recogni-
zed as Jews and hoping to lose
their Jewish identity in the midst
of the majority, refusing to have
anything to do with organized
Jewish group life.
There are other discouraging
conditions. Chief among them is
the frightfully low level of Jew
ish education in the Western
communities. Even the two big
gest cities, Los Angels and San
Francisco, have only very recent
ly come to grips with this prob
lem. In all the other cities, the
situation is appalling. Even the
Sunday School, with all its mad
equacies, is in terribly low
estate. In Seattle, a Jewish COM
munity of some $4,000, the local
Talmud Torah has an enrolment
of only 130 children. The local
congregations have almost no He
brew School program at all. This
is typical of the Far Western
Jewish communities.
Another discouraging element
is the prevalence of the free-lance
rabbi. The species seems to breed
out West. The condition may arise
from the fact that many of the
Jewish communities are young
and that there is a continuous
influx of new settlers. AS a re-
suit, no community leadership or
tradition has emerged for select
ing the right kind of spiritual
guidance.
Still another discouraging con-
dition is the existence in some
places-San Francisco, for ex-
ample-of local chapters of the
American Council for Judaism.
The feeling among the general
Jewish population is that the pres
ence of the American Council for
Judaism is a detriment to the en-
tire Jewish community.
Of special significance to me,
as President of the Rabbinical
Assembly of America, is the fact
that while Conservative Judaism
is the youngest of the major re-
ligious alignments in America, it
has succeeded in winning the sup
port of most of the Jews in the
communities I visited. Those who
accept the philosophy of Con-
servative Judaism, as well as

U. s. Poorly Prepared For War With Russia

WASHINGTON, P)-A leader of the army's reserve officers de- clared yesterday this country is making faces at Russia" with neither the military force nor mili- tary training to back it up.
 Brig. Gen. E. A. Evans, execu- tive director of the reserve off cers association, told reporters the nations defenses are suffering from poor leadership "at the Pen tagon"-headquarters of the new national defense department.
 He said at a news conference he and other reserve officers are ready to tell Congressional com mittees that:
 1. The manpoWer of the army is declining lat an alarming rate" because the volunteer system of recruiting has failed.
 2. The national guard, supposed to have 680,000 men ready for any mobilization day" emergency, actually has only 100000 poorly equipped" troops. The morale of the organized reserves is "so bad ly shot that doubt you could get together 20 per cent of the men in an emergency"
 Evans said that in the organized reserve only one out of five among the 5OO,OOO officers and only one out of "A among the ESQ., 900 enlisted men have received any instructions on what to do in a national emergency.

, its will consist OF working mod
els of equipment and machines

uted to the exhibits.

the show any homemade equip
ment which they have devel-
oped for use on their own
farms. Persons who have such
time and labor saving devices
may list them at the county ex-
ten:ion office, where arrange
ments can be made for having
them on display at the show.
To give farm and ranch peo-
pie in this county some idea of

Dutch oven brooder and a bar
rel type feeder. In addition,

RURAL TRAFFIC SAFETY

Farm motorists must take a
bow to their city cousins when it
comes to the matter of motor We
hicle accidents" states George NJ.
Worrilow, associate director of
Delaware Agricultural Extension
and vice president for farm safety
of the Delaware Safety Council He
referred to the National Safety
Council report that among farm
people, motor vehicle fatalities in
creased from $500 in 1916 to 1000
in 1916, an increase of 279o as
compared with 1870 for the re-
mainder of the nation.
Mr.. Worrilow pointed out that
over half of the fatal accidents
among rural residents were the
result of traffic violations. Most
frequent among these violations
were Excessive speeding, driving
on the wrong side of the road, not
having the right of way. improper
passing, and disregard for traffic
signals and devices.
Mr.. Worrilow further pointed out
the need for extra precautions to
insure safety at the farm drive
way entrance. The driveway is q
serious hazard on many farms and
1t is important to make it as safe
as possible. He emphasized the
need for clear vision of the main
highway for distance of 700 fee
in either direction at the entrance
If farm trucks are used the dis
tance should be increased to 83t
feet in either direction.
