Let us keep our country free and
strong in faith"
It is to be hoped that Mr.. Nc
Combs teachers found ways to
hand his idealism down to their
pupils. (It's the children who
still can be saved from the vile
contagion. Their elders are prac-
tically hopeless. They cherish
their prejudices and hates like
precious possessions.)
Thanks to Mr.. McCombs who is
showing the way toward the
brotherhood. l think his way of
education is much better than the
way that prevails in our Jewish
communities. We busy ourselves
with shifting the flies in the gar
bage cans of anti-SemitiSm. We
swat at characters like Gerald
Smith and Bilbo who live and
thrive on our hostility. Individ-
uals like them rejoice in the pub
licity we give them. Gerald
Smith would suffer the loneliness
of forgotten man if we ignored
him on the occasions when he
makes a pubic appearance. Some
of our hotheads go picketing
against him and Smith can thank
the Jews for another shot in the
arm.
Education is the better way.
In our town groups of Protest
ant Sunday school children go
visiting at the synagogues where
the rabbis explain to them the
meaning of Jewish ceremonial
objects and Jewish ritual. Like
Mr.. McCombs of Des Moines their
ministers point the authentic way
to brotherhood.
For Mr.. McCombs' enlightened
bulletin 1 am indebted to DR..

SECRETARY SOUGHT BY
TEMPLE EMANUEL

Temple Emanuel, for the first
time, is seeking a part-time office
secretary, according to Aaron
Paul, the Temple treasurer. Thus
the rabbi will be relieved of many
office details and permitted more
time to devote to the Congrega-
ton and to Hillel.
1t will be an excellent oppor-
tunity for an experienced office
secretary to participate actively
in the community; the work is
more interesting and absorbing
than many similar secretarial
positions. The position is part
time and carries a salary of 500
a month.
The secretary will have respno-
sibilities which will be stimulat-
ing, which permit initiative and
thus enhance personal growth.
Mr.. Paul desires all applicants
to submit written applications
after which interviews will be
arranged.

Turkish rule prevailed upon the
sultan to invite the emigres to
his country and to offer them
new home. Contemporary ac-
counts tell us about the efforts
of the native Jews to make their
unfortunate brethren forget their
hardships. And soon oldtimers
and newcomers alrna1gamated
and as a new group played an
important part In the Mediter-
ranean area, including Palestine.
One hundred fifty years later
Jews in Poland suffered from the
prosecutions inflicted by the Cos
sacks under Khmielnicki. Entire
communities were wiped out.
Thousands were sold into slavery.
The descendants of the Spanish
exiles who under the Turkish
rule enjoyed prosperity again did
not lose time in calling meetings,
but collected the needed money
for the rescue of the slaves and
the rehabilitation of the refugees.
About 100 years ago the Turk
ish Jewry had become impover-
ished. At that time France played
a preponderant role in world
politics. Thus the Jews in France,
under the leadership of the fam
Gus statesman Cremieux, felt that
it was their duty to help their
co-religionists in the Orient. They
founded the first modern relief
organization, the Alliance Israel
ite Universelle. Much was done
for the improvement of Oriental
Jewry. And when after the Fran
co-Prussian war the French Jews
lost ground, the Hilfsverein der
Deutschen Juden, a German Jew
ish relief organization, stepped
into the picture and helped in
the development of the Palestin-
ian school system. Incidentally,
in one decade alone, from 1904
to 1914, said organization also
aided 100000 victims of Russian
and Rumanian pogroms that left
the Old World and found a new
home in America. In our own
days American-Jewish organiza-
tions have been helping our per-
secuted brethren, including
French and German Jews. Once
we received help because other
Jewries thought that it was their
responsibility to do so. "Au Is
raelites are accountable for each
other" which means that not only
are we to suffer for our fellow
Jews faults, but also are we to
see to it that the welfare of the
Jews all over the world regard
less of background or origin be
our responsibility. AS citizens of
the most powerful nation we feel
that we have not done enough
for the rehabilitation of our
brethren in Europe, Palestine and
other countries.
Within a few days we in Tucson
will initiate our UJA drive for
1947. There may be a few differ
ences of opinion in one matter
or another. One may prefer one
agency to another. But any at
tempt to interfere with the local
drive will, God forbid, be detri-
mental to the cause all of us are
for. We would only carry out
the designs of IsraeIs enemies
or align ourselves with people
to whom Jewish sufferings don't
mean anything. Complaints, just
though they may be, do not bring
solace to our suffering brethren.
They can be effectively helped if
we give, perhaps give more than
we can afford.

PLAIN TALK
by ALFRED SEGAL

Mr.. N. D. McCombs of Des Moines
observed it. It can never be too
late to speak of an American who
understands what America is all
about, and that, as members of a
democratic family, we may as
well know and appreciate each
other more than we do. Yes, by
becoming better acquainted, we
may be able to get along better
than we do.
Mr.. McCombs became aware
of Chanukah approaching and felt
something should be done about
it in the public schools of Des
Moines. Certainly, the climate
of public schools should be favor
able to the idea that the American
people should know each other
better. (America shouldn't be
like a dog house with a lot of
jealous pups snarling at each
other.)
Mr.. McCombs was in an advan-
tageous position to make some
thing of Jewish life understood in
the public schools of Des Moines.
He is the superintendent of these
schools. For his principals, super
visors and directors he gets out a
bulletin. Thus he promulgates
his policies which by the princi-
pals, supervisors and directors are
delivered to the teachers. Well,
there was a bulletin due on De-
cember 8, and with Chanukah be-
ing only two weeks off, he felt he
should devote it to that Jewish
holiday. Yet, it appears, this was
nothing startlingly new in Mr..
McCombs' outlook as an Ameri-
can.
In his preface to his Chanukah
bulletin, Mr.. McCombs wrote:
while we are obligated by law
to preserve the principle of Sc
paration of church and state in the
American democratic system, we
must not eliminate from the pic
ture of human development the
cultivation of the basic emotional
and intercultural loyalties that
constitute the ultimate religious
faith of the individual.
'It is necessary, therefore, that
we as teachers find a common
denominator in the various religi-
Gus faiths that have inspired vir-
tues and heroic living and deter
mine those factors of many diver
gent life PHILOSOPHERS that merge
into common principles of action.
1t is essential that we understand !
some of the interesting, historical
facts pertaining to the symbolism
of recognized religious groups and
the festivities which have Signi-
ficance to members of different |
faiths"
So here was Chanukah. Mr..
McCombs spoke of it as ''the Fes-
tival of Religious Freedom" He
had gone to DR.. Nahum Zachai to
learn what Chanukah was all |
about. DR.. Zachai is the director
of Jewish education in the city of |
Des Moines
Then he went on to tell the
story of Chanukah, as given him
by Dr. Zachai.
"The ideal of religious tolerance
for which the Maccabeans stood
has ever since been an inspira-
ton to many men in many lands.
In our country the ideal of religi-
Gus liberty is cherished by all
freedom-loving people and has
become a basic law of our land.
Here all men worship God, each
in his own way. In a sense,
Chanukah-the first triumph of |
religious freedom-has assured

gent. Philan-
thropy remains
an ethical i'm
perative of
fundamental Importance in Jud-
aism.
I have 1abored in behalf of this
cause for many years. It has
been my good fortune to have
been among the organizers of two
welfare funds and to have helped
bring about their affiliation with
the National Council of Jewish
Federations and Welfare Funds.
Out of this background arises my
concern about the present state of
community organization in Tue
son.
A welfare fund is a central in
stitution. In place of many cam
paigns with high cost and high
nuisance value it places one fund
raising effort. This is obviously
good and accounts for the fact
that progressive leaders have
worked for an increasing central
ization of Jewish community eff
fort. My concern has to do with
the following possibility; we may
have reached a point of diminish
ing returns in the process of CEN
tralized effort in the Jewish COM
munity. That such a law exists
in economics is well known. It
may also exist in the field of COM
munal fund raising.
Every Jew worthy of the name
favors the causes comprised in the
U nited Jewish Appeal. With
very minor exceptions every Jew
in our community also favors the
numerous national and overseas
agencies which, along with the
big three in the United Jewish
Appeal, make up the bulk of the
Tucson Associated Jewish Appeal.
There is, however, serious differ
ence of opinion at the present
time about the value of the Tue
son Jewish Community Council,
its center program, and the am
bition of some of its leaders to
build center structure in Tue
son. Last year this work con-
sumed approximately ten per-
cent of the total funds raised.
There is nothing to stop the al
location committee and the ex-
ecutive board of the Council from
taking that much or more from
this years proceeds to further
their program. This problem is
so acute to some contributors that
they may not give locally at all.
Thus the law of diminishing re-
turns on centralized organization
may begin to operate.
A simple solution comes to
mind. The Council upkeep and
the center program could be di-
vested from the Associated Jew
ish Appeal. Just as the people
who believe in the work of the
synagogues support them volun-
tarily, those who believe in the
Council work and program could
support it freely in a separate
campaign. This would free every
Jew to work and contribute gen
erously to the causes about which
we are all agreed; aid to the
needy, upbuilding of the COM
in Palestine, care of re-
fugees, the defense of the Jewish
name, national health, cultural,
and religious agencies. Such de-
Capitalization would have the un-

would eliminate the possibility
of diminishing returns for the ma
jor effort which we all want to see
successful.
