Have you wondered about the
Amish people? Their beginnings,
beliefs, customs, etc, are fully des-
cribed on page Alb.
''The Maryland Germans" is book
with which we in Maryland feel Eat
home" The names of waterways
along which the early immigrants
preferred to settle are familiar; for
instance, Monocacy, Patapsco, Con-
ococheague. We hear of Baltimore,
Frederick and Hagerstown as the
three leading towns. (The full story
of John Hager may be found on page
82.) Mentioned also are smaller
towns: Funkstown, originally called
Jerusalem; Sharpsburg, Clear Spring,
Georgetown, New Amstel, known
today as New Castle, and many
others.
We read with interest of the
gradual change of the German speak
ing farmers and craftsmen, who after
the year 1848 began to take an active
part in politics.
A grain of humor is added, when in
Baltimore many German societies
were formed, the outstanding being
the Germania and Concordia How
ever, so numerous were these So
cieties that this has been said, when
three Germans meet, a society is
formed. When fourth joins, the
three are split and two societies
emergel"
Naturally there are "dry" sections
in this book. Somehow we expect
that in history. What is uninterest-
ing to one may not be to another,
tho Other subjects discussed are:
politics, early newspapers, choral
societies, reforms, music, art and
medicine. Truly, a good reference
book.
Undeniably Dieter Cunz has ac-
complished what he set out to do,
i. e., to give us the living story of
the Maryland German immigrant,
to show how, through varied cir
cumstances, he became Americana
ed, and to leave with his readers a
greater understanding and apprec-
iation of the State of Maryland.

Dieter CUM, Associate Professor
of German at the University of Mary
land, has written in "The Maryland
Germans" comprehensive and alb
sorbing history of the early Mary
land German immigrants; history
which begins around 1910 and with
gradually increasing crescendo takes
us through the quiet Colonial period
to the turbulent Revolutionary and
Civil War Years, up to the very pres
sent where we view, through devel-
opment of spiritual, social, political
and economic growth, the thorough
Americanzation of a people.
When one leisurely leafs through
the pages of Dietor Cunz's history,
it is impossible not to appreciate the
seven years. of research given to it;
the careful selection of pertinent
items from wealth of references;
the clearness of explanation; the
correlation of subject matter that
leads one unhesitantly along with
out confusion
In "The Maryland Germans" we
learn of the founding of the first
Lutheran and Reformed Churches,
their struggle through the years to
retain the German language in their
services, but finally bowling under to
the demands of the youth whose
AUGMENTATION called for services
in English. The only Lutheran
church today which still holds serv-
ices in German is Zion Church in
Baltimore.
An outgrowth of these early
Churches was the Church-run
school that later became a private
school and still later, a public school,
retaining however, the teaching in
the German language.
1t is fascinating to study the many
old names listed in "The Maryland
Germans" Many are with us still.
Remember John Gruber's ''Hagers-
town Town and County Almanack?"

on page ITS.

Junior Red Cross
Drive Under Wav
County Hopes To Repeat Rec
ord OF Last Year When Ev-
cry School Child Was En-
rolled.

The annual Junior Red Cross cam
paign for the enrolment of all bows
and girls of school age in Washing
ton County began yesterday and
will continue for two weeks. During
the campaign it is expected that this
year, as in 1947, every child in the
County's private, parachial and pub
lie schools will be enrolled in the
Junior Red Cross.
Mrs. Samuel A Angotti, Chair
man of the local Junior Red Cross,
points out that Washington County
is one of the very few counties in
Maryland and in the nation that has
achieved a 100 per cent membership
of school children in the organiza-
ton
Funds raised in the enrolment
campaign by the Junior Red Cross
are used practically exclusively in
work done throughout the year in the
local schools. The only exception
is the annual contribution to the Ma
tional Childrens Fund. This fund
is used by the National Junior Red
Cross for the purchase of medical
supplies (vaccines, etc. and milk,
which are distributed to children in
schools abroad.
The Junior Red Cross program in
Washington County is conducted
through the cooperation and as
sistance of teachers in the schools.
For example, the organization pro-
vides all the materials paper,
paints, crayons, scissors-uSed by
the students in their present pro-
ject of making holiday favors which
will be sent to war veterans in the
Newton D. Baker Hospital near
Martinsburg to brighten their holi-
days.
Included in the list of materials
which will be sent to the Hospital
from the children of Washington
County are Christmas tree orna-
ments, tray favors, wall hangings,
soft toys, memo pads, writing port
folios, tables and lamp bases. The
latter two items are being made in
the vocational classes of the high
schools
Later in the school-year the mem
bers of the Junior Red Cross will
begin work on the gift boxes which
they send to children in foreign
countries in the spring. Last year
they packed over 300 boxes for
shipment to school-mates abroad.
Each box contained certain basic
items purchased by the Junior Red
Cross from its funds, plus indi-
vidual personal items which the
children packing the boxes placed
in them
Many letters of appreciation and
friendship have, come back to Wash
, ington County children from the
children who received them in for
eign countries.
Members of the Junior Red Cross
committee, in addition to Mrs.
Angotti, are: Mrs. Lynn G.. Walck,
vice-chairman; Mrs. George Haw-
baker, home nursing chairman;
Mrs. Paul Cleaveland, secretary; and
Mrs. Grace B. Downin, treasurer.

Bernudotte Wunts UN To

that his report to the forthcoming

conclusions" on workable basis

insisting that a definite term be

In the all-out effort to assist
Israel as a new nation, the needs

because their homes and settle

Count Folke Bernadotte, the
Mediator, has addressed a plea to
the United States to rush food to
forestall famine for an estimated
several thousands of persons,
many of them children, disease
ridden and driven from their
homes because of the recent fight

faced a great Sudden human dis

Israeli Elections
Postponed Until
Nov. Is Revealed

The Israeli elections, original
ly scheduled for October, will now
be held in the middle of Novem-
Der. Tel Aviv blamed technical
difficulties for the postponement.
The spokesman called these diff
ficulties the strife-caused short
age of manpower to conduct an
election, the drafting of Israel's
new constitution, and the scarcity
of paper and printing equipment
for ballots. It was IsraeTs original
intention to hold the elections on
October l, the date set by the
United Nations.
By November, the spokesman
stated, the Israelis will have con-
voked a constituent assembly to
ratify the draft constitution, and
machinery for the elections will
have been set up. All Israelis from
18 years of age and up, includ-
ing Arab citizens of Israel, will
be eligible to vote.
Secretary of State George c.
Marshall this week reaffirmed
that de jure recognition for Israel
is being given careful attention
The timing of any forthcoming
recognition of Israel depends on
the coming Israeli elections, Mar

Weiz1ndnn Says us
Kew To Palestine Peace

New York (JTA)-The United
States holds the key to a perma-
nent peace in Palestine, DR.. Chain
Weizmann declared in the first
interview granted since he be-
came President of Israel; the in
terview, given to Barley c. Crum,
publisher of the New York Star
and former member of the Anglo
American Committee of Inquiry
on Palestine, now in Europe.
President Weizmann said that
much depends upon American de
jure recognition of Israel and the
immediate granting of a loan to
Israel. "There is a log jam now
as far as our recognition by west
ern European states is concerned, I"
he declared. "Only American can
break it. If the United States,
through President Truman, gives
us de jure recognition, believe
all of western Europe will follow
meaning France, Italy, Belgium,
The Arizona post., 1948-09-17

Holland, Luxembourg, perhaps
even England viii recognize us.
The effect upon Arab states would
be immediate. 1t would mean per-
manent peace, not only in Israel,
but throughout the Middle East.
With the loan we could then go
on with our work of rescue and
of rebuilding"
Speaking of the relationship be-
tween Israel and American Jews,
DR.. Weizmann said: "It's a clear
cut matter. The citizens of Israel
are Israelis; the citizens of the
United States are Americans. A
parallel is that between an Amer
lean of Irish descent and Fire.
This is a perfectly normal rela-
tionship. He has sympathy for
Fire, he follows Eire's fortunes
with interest, he welcomes visits
to Fire, he helps Fire in many
ways. 1t will be the same with
the Jews"
