QUESTION: What purpose do
these candles serve in modern
times when the electric lights can
be left burning in the house all
night?
ANSWER: A practical answer
to this question is that many OBJ
servant Jews do not leave the
electric lights on all night, but
instead have them turned off by
a non-Jew or by an automatic
timing device However, there
are many beautiful symbolisms
attached to the Sabbath candles
which traverse all notions of time
and space.
First of all, the rabbis insist
upon special candles being lit for
the Sabbath because, where
there are NO candles there is no
peace in the home" Somehow
even the disinterested observer
cannot help but note the added
serenity and sanctity that come
into the home when the Sabbath
candles are seen burning slowly
and majestically.
Secondly, the Sabbath candles
were considered replica of the
candalabra in the Temple. On
Friday evening, especially, each
man was to consider his home a
Temple. The candles would serve
to remind him of that fact. The
Lord is said to have promised tc
restore the lights in the Temple
as a reward for the kindling of the
Sabbath candles.

II. S. Jews Will Raise

For Israel

NEW YORK (JTA)--An addi-
tional 400 ambulances and larger
quantities of blood plasma are
needed by the Red Mogen David
for use of the Army and people
of Israel, an emergency meeting
of the American Red Mogen David
held here was told by two men,
bers of an Israeli commercial
mission who recently arrived in
this country. Harry A. Pine,
chairman of the board of directors
of the American Mogen David,
announced that a 100000 drive
would be launched to purchase
and equip the ambulances.
The Government of Israel pre-
fers the prospect of political har-
mony with its Arab neighbors,
although it is fully confident of
military success, Aubrey Eban,
head of the Israeli mission to the
United Nations, and chief speaker,
declared. "This can be achieved
only on the formula of political
independence combined with re-
gional cooperation, as the only
possible relationship between
Israel and neighboring Arab
states" he stressed. Other speak
ers included Louis Lipsky, ma
tional president of the Red Mogen
David, and Rep. Emanuel Celler.

wish of this column that Negroes
of the south will not swallow the
regional university idea as they
swallowed Lillian Smiths Strange
Fruit" The south is growing and
growing rapidly and it would be
a major calamity if the regional
university were thrust in the way
of this steady growth. Segrega-
ton cannot be banished by cod
ding segregation; it must be op-
posed, not a bit more for the Ne
gro's advantage than for the white
mans pride and self-respect-
Our Negro college presidents
are the logical spokesman in the
promise. Atlanta is the logical
center of the sentiment that should
be opposed to the purported edu-
cational departure. Salvation
means being not only saved to
something, but to be saved from
something. The future salvation
of the south will necessitate being
saved from enough things beside
a regional university and the va
carries thereof.
We are witnessing one OF the
most shameful episodes in Ameri-
can history when the most clever
minds of the south r being en-
gagged in ways and means of evad-
ing the cardinal doctrines of the
united States constitution. South
ern tradition is being Haunted in
the face O fthe constitution, in the
face of the Bible and in the face
of democracy; in fact, it is being
Haunted in the very face of God.
If God is opposed to segregation
then a sector of the south is op-
posed to Him.

NAACP Knows Nothing
or Bias in Local
Post Office

MEMPHIS, Feb. 9. (ANP)-
The Memphis NAACP chapter is
totally ignorant of charges of dis
elimination in the local post Of
flee which are being investigated
by a senate post office and civil
service committee representative.
Last Wednesday Utillus Phillips,
who has been president of the
chapter for II years and a rail-
way mail clerk, said, "news stories
of postal discrimination against
Negroes here came like a bolt
from the blue"
Phillips said that his group had
no briefs or arguments ready for
the investigator because we have
never been consulted by the men
reported to have made the COM
plant, or by tn national officers
of the NAACP."
The discrimination charges were
made recently by the National AL
lance Of Postal employees, and
were based on a complaint by the
NAACP main office. One of the
compliments was identified by a
local official as M. G.. F. Veazey

lures about it which hit US against
the grain. Our main object was
the te~rrifically high price for such
small living quarters. The houses
are selling for $500 to $1,000.
Two-thirds o fthe dwellings fea-
ture two bedrooms, kitchen cagi-
nets, bath, utility room and a liv-
ing room, and they are radiant
heated. The other third are to be
two story, three-bedroom homes
with full basement and gas heat.
Our second objection was the
payment arrangements. Word had
passed around that payments had
been so arranged that they had
to be stretched over 20 years. We
investigated and were told that the
houses could be fully purchased
in six years, although we were not
shown how.
Our objections were tempered,
however, by the fact that housing
is so critical that to organize a
mass demonstration Gas this writer
had planned) against the project
might be unwise.
Now, we must confess, u OBJ
jections are further tempered by
last weeks announcement by the
members of the Robson Com
munity association. The ~associa-
ton stated that though tenants
thus far are "predominantly Ne
gro" no discrimination would be
exercised in the sale of the homes.
This is a healthy sign. We hope it
is the start of a new trend in
Dayton, a trend toward integra-
ton. We have always been OPP
posed to segregation. 1t is stulti-
flying to both Negroes and whites.
The Federal Housing admins
tration has arranged it so veter-
ans can purchase the Robson
homes with a down payment of
only $500. Milton Fischer, Off
cial of the Robson Park Hous-
ing Corp, estimates that at least
60 of the units would be ready for
tenancy within the next eight
weeks. The project was started in
July, 1947, and the first tenant
moved in Friday. Fischer said that
a number Of school teachers are
among home purchasers and that
a teachers row" would be a fea-
ture of the project.

President Truman will lay down

message to Congress January 5.
He announced at a news confer
ence late yesterday that he would
deliver the message in person to q
joint session Of the new House and
Senate at / pm. on that day.
The Chief Executive turned aside
questions about taxes, price con-
trolls and farm price supports by
saying his views would be stated
to Congress.
Democratic congressional leaders
found comforting signs in the Presi-
dents remarks that he will keep
them posted In advance of his legis-
lative plans.
Consults With Leaders.
Some Of the congressional leaders
have grumbled In the past that the
first they had heard of several White
House proposals was when they read
about them in the newspapers.
But Mr.. Truman provided NO
scoops" on Congress yesterday.
He went out of his way to note
that he had consulted with Vice
President-elect Barkley, Represen-
tative Rayburn, Democrat, of Texas
who is due to be Speaker of the
House, and other Democratic lead
ers on plans for delivery of his mes

Asked to comment on a state
ment attributed to his recent elec-
ton opponent, Gov. Dewey of New
York, that the administration is
picking political daisies" on the St
Lawrence power issue, Mr.. Truman
said the daisy-picking is on the
other side Of the fence.
Gov. Dewey had charged the Fed
eral Government with inexcusable
delay in acting on New York's ap-
plication to join the Canadian prov
ince of Ontario in developing hydro
electric power in the international
rapids section Of the river.
Mr.. Truman said he is for the
whole st. Lawrence seaway and
power project, adding firmly that 1t
is a matter to be decided between
the United States and Canada, not
between a state and a province. He
recalled that he had recommended
action to Congress previously and
said his messages next year will re-
state his recommendations.
Asked If he would send the new
Congress a special message on civil
rights, he said he did not think it
would be necessary, but that he
would do so If he did not get what
he wanted without it.

By cdspor Names


Washington ministers believe they
have found way to stop radio
listeners from tuning religious pro-
grams out and soap operas in.
The answer is simple-beat the
radio secular programs at their own
game.
This means the day Of radio
preaching by ministers unframed in
broadcasting techniques is on the
way out. 1t means further that
radio preaching as the only means
of getting the message of religion
across is also nearing its end. Some
thing more is needed to catch and
hold the interest Of the radio
listener.
That something, according to Prof.
w. Fletcher Tarr. department head
OF speech and radio at Washington
Missionary College, Takoma Park,
Md, is the broadcasting of dramatic
stories having a religious theme.
Adapt Drama to Religion.
"Sixty-five per cent Of the radio
listeners in the United States prefer
dramatic broadcasts to any other
kind of program" Prof. Tarr said.
I'VE hope to utilize drama adapted
to religion to reach the people"
That is the goal. But the means
to the end must be obtained by
training those most interested in
bringing religion into peoples lives.
Ministers, naturally, are those most
concerned. To do the job well they
must be soundly trained in all
phases of radio broadcasting Here
Is where Prof. Tarr and forward
looking officials of the Seventn-day
Adventist college come in through
holding what is probably the only
class of its kind in the country.
1t is a class composed almost en-
tirely OF future ministers. The aim,
according to Prof. Tarr, who started
the department of speech and radio
at the college in September, 1945,
is Ito raise the standard of religious
radio by giving the future pastors
we'll rounded training in the field.
Speech, Script Planning.
Basic voice training for radio
speaking is essential" he said THAT
done, we then teach sermon con-
strtuction, the fundamentals of
script writing, microphone tech
niques and program planning. For
use in dramatic broadcsats, we teach
the elements of production and di-
rection, how to organize a small
church group for a show, how to
cast it and how to choose suitable
music for it,"
Techniques involved in producing
other types of radio programs such
as round-table discussion, forum
and question and answer broad
casts also are taught.
II think the training is wonderful
for ministerial work." said George
Rentor of New York City, former
amateur boxer, who decided tt
enter the ministry while in tht
Army. "It is very important prep.
aration for those Of us who may try
to use the radio in other ways thar
for sermons"
Eleven dramatic shows are sched
uled for production by the class thi
semester. The program, Calling
All Youth" is heard at Gas am
Sundays over Station WGAY.
Four of the six productions 81
far heard have been written by
members of the class. Each play
