ReVerie on
Rosh 3Rashonah
BY ISADORE MOsCOvITZ

JC1A nigh holy Lay seasons, one
particular ROsh HashOnah is in
delibly impressed on my mind.
This was in the year 194S-five
years ago and what happened
then could well happen again in
the future. At that time was on
the Commanding Generals staff
of the Goth Division and our "Out-
fit" was on Louisiana maneuvers.
In addition to other duties was
serving as the "unOfficiaT chap
lain for the Jewish men of our
Division, which, having less than
1000 Jewish men, was not author
lied full-time Jewish chaplain.
This was an assignment given
me by Major General Thompson
Lawrence, who, knowing of my
background as publisher of a Jew
ish paper, felt that I was some
what qualified to administer the
religious rites and supervise Jew
ish worship. Accordingly, while
at Camp we held regular Friday
night services with attendances
averaging well over 200. which is
better than the average of con-
gregations in many fair-sized
communities. When the Division
chit the field" for maneuvers it
was my task to arrange suitable
place of worship for the approach
ing Rosh Hashonah holidays. 1t so
happened that a tactical problem
took place on the first day of the
holidays and military regulations
prohibited personnel being ex-
cused for any purpose what
soever, and all of Jewish
faith were obliged to ignore
the first day of the New Year and
to carry on their duties with their
military units. Yet, strange as
this may seem, it was a blessing
for us because we were now able
to carry on our services on the
second day of Rosh Hashonah in
the Schul not used by the Reform
Jews of Alexandria, which was
not too far away from our maneu-
yer area.
Consequently, with the permits
sion of the Reform congregation
almost 1000 Jewish men on man.
uevers held orthodox and cOnser-
vative services in the schuI which
was loaned to us by Reform Jews
who did rot attend service on the
second day of ROsh HashOnah.
Many Reform Jews of our Division
who did not have an opportunity
to observe the holidays on the first
day Joined with us in a unified as
semblage. Perhaps the occasion
is so fresh in my mind because
was asked by the Alexandria rab-
hi to deliver the sermon. l can
truthfully say that 1 was never
so scared in all my life as when
1 assembled the pulpit to "preach"
to so many men. had addressed
groups that size on many other Oc-
casiOns but during the days
of Awe" we Jews feel so much
closer to God that the respOn-
sibiIity of this event was a bit
too much for an ordinary layman.
will never forget the way l felt
on that day, trying to give a mes
sage to the thousand Jewish men
who were away from home during
the sacred religious holiday. When
L completed my sermon" 1 had
never felt so clean and decent.
Maybe it is this feeling which is

One Way to Bag a Coyote

BISON, S. D.-You don't need
a gun to get a coyote. Just run him

That's the report of Gail Coe and

While flying in Goes light plane,
they spotted a coyote. They had no
gun.
Flying low. they herded the coy
ote onto a plowed field. Attempts
to hit the animal with the tail
wheel were partially successful.
When the tired coyote took refuge
In a fence corner under some weeds,

ALASKAN
 PILOT-OWNERS

The Civil Aeronautics Board has made a determination in the long-pending and so-called bush pilot case by exempting a num- Der of air carriers in Alaska from certan prioviSions of law.
 The new regulation designates such carriers as Alaskan Pilot Owners and exempts them from the requirement of holding certi- ficateS fo public convenience and necessity. The term means "a certified pilot twin a commercial or airline transport rating who beneficially owns and flies eX- clusiVely in air transportation within the Territory aircraft none of which is certified to carry more than four passengers and who is not otherwise authorized to engage in air transportation. The Board, in establishing the regulation. issued statement reading in part as follows:
 The Board recognizes the de- pendence of the Territory upon air transportation and it's great need for a variety of specialized air services and feels that these needs at this time justify allow ing a ready avenue for inaugura- ton and performance of these specialized services in order to satisfy immediate public demand and to provide for full develop ment of these services. On the other hand, stabilizatiOn and fur ther development of the whole Alaska air transportation system can, in the Boards opinion be ac. complished only through proper observance of the legal and order ly processes laid down in the Act The types of service which the Board will regard as being ir conformity with the regulation are flights made for such purpose as sport fishing hunting. or sight. seeing or to carry or supply trap.
