usalem! The only chance to send
a letter to other places in Israel
was to give it to a soldier who
was going in that direction, but
who knew if the soldier wcul !
ever reach the point of destina-
ton?
Shortly before Pesach. CONVOY
with food arrived, and we had
enough to eat. 1t was, of course,
no pleasure to stand in line for
hours, especially when the shoot
ing was going on at the same
time, but this was just one of the
smaller inconvenience. We al
ways had bread, except for some
days when the combat activity
made it impossible to bake bread.
Very often, we had no electric
current at all, and most of the
time we had it only for o few
hours in the evening. Without
oil and electricity, cooking be-
came major problem. We had
to find some wood, and we were
after every piece we could find,
even on abandoned construction
jobs, and we brought home every
splinter we found.
But all this was not too bad,
our real trouble was the lack of
water. The Arabs controlled our
water lines. Of course, there are,
as you know, many cisterns in
Jerusalem. Unfortunately, some
people had neglected to keep the
cisterns in their yards in good
condition, and now, there was not
water enough to clean them, so
they were of no use.
Water was rationed, and it was

very difficult to keep house with
the little we got. We got even
pamphlets, in which was explain
ed how to use it, for instance, first
to wash with it, and then to wat
er the plants with the dirty wat
er.
In May, the water was taken to
the houses by cars, but there was
a string attached to this. Nobody
knew at what time the water
would be delivered, and one had
to be on the alert all day. 1t was
especially bad when you live in
a seven story building, with the
elevator out of commission on &C
count of the lack of electricity.
And water has weight too. 1t
was not easy to carry it to the
fifth floor, on which I live. We
had a water tank in the living
room, but it had to be refilled
every day. Our troops built a
new waterline. However, it did
not furnish much water, and we
are still waiting for the miracle
to see the water freely running
out of the pipe.

come to an end" said DR.. Leo Back,
President Of the World Union for Pro.
gressive Judaism, who arrived on an
American Airlines plane from London
this month. Il can see no revival Of
Jewish life in Germany he declared,
adding that the Jews of Germany are
waiting for the day when they can emf.

country to accept the Efroymson Pro.
fessorship at the Hebrew Union Col.

Cincinnati, told reporters in New York:
''The heritage Of learning of European
Jewry has fallen to American Jewry-
to the Hebrew Union College, the old.
est, most famous seminary in America,
to the Jewish Institute of Religion and
to the Jewish Theological Seminary.
These are the three great institutions
without which world Jewry cannot live

The following letter from an
aunt living in Jerusalem was re-
ceived recently by Mrs. Mayer.
It presents a vivid picture of life
in that city since the beginning
of hostilities and the reaction of
one of it's many Jewish resi-
dents. Mrs. Mayer has translat-
ed it for our readers. A letter
from Tel Aviv will appear in
next weeks issue.
A Letter From Jerusalem
There was no way to send you
a letter because we had no mail
service at all. We could make no
long distance calls, the telephone
in Jerusalem was frequently out
of order because the wires were
damaged by artillery fire. When
the post office was opened again
during the month of July, ap-
proximately one million letters
had accumulated, only for Jer-

night. Farm living should include
leisure. comfort. charm-these are
rewards of sound planning, pru-
dent spending and a definite aim
to eliminate needless drudgery.
The farm is not place for a
man who seeks only a temporary
occupation while he waits for
something else to open. Success
full farming is long job. II takes
many days of careful planning
and applied labor to get one crop
to the stage of harvest, II requires
many years to bring an orchard
into productive stage, 1t requires
score or more years of animal
breeding to develop herd of
livestock to make creditable
showing in any community. To
farm successfully we must look
and work with life long object
i've. Farming will challenge the
best in any man or woman of to-
day, Good farming requires
brains, judgement tempered with
common sense, and training which
gives the type of knowledge that
may be useful and practical on
the soil where one must live and
operate his business. Farming will
never be profitable for the inef-
ficlent. We must be ready to meet
our changing conditions. We have
an abundance of scientific infor-
nation concerning the majority of
our agricultural enterprises Only
in recent years have we had a
desirable means of bringing it to
the people of the local commune
ty in practical and useable man
ner.
May l stress again: we need
planning in our democracy. Our
masses must be able to link this
planning with situations in per-
sonal affairs and home conditions
For agriculture to occupy its
rightful place in our democracy.
rural people must have access to
the knowledge which science has
complied. We must have it in a
practical way which can be ap-
piled to local situations and nat
ional affairs.

Balanced Planning
For Rural LivinQ

Friends of our great Democracy,
it seems to me the one question
foremost in the minds of our peo-
pie is more definite planning for
our future. II is necessary for us
to study each group on an indi-
vidual basis and plan for great
er nation, am deeply concerned
with that group that tills the soil,
Farming at one time was par
tnership between man, the soil
and weather, but we are now liv-
ing in an age when this partner
ship does not end here. Agricul-
ture is tired up with every bust
ness in the United States and
many OF our enterprises are di-
rectly affected by our relations
with many foreign countries.
The farmer Of today can no
longer 60 west to acquire new
land. This opportunity does not
exist for us today, We are in an
age where we must build our flu
ture. We have complex situation
TO cope with. The cities at one
time were absorbing all farmers
who failed TO make adjustments
in the farm community or who
were not ambitious enough to
work out their own salvation. To-
day the cities will take only a
small part of this group.
Our duty, which is great and
challenging, is to make our own
community and our own farms a
better place to live and serve our
country and felloWmen.
1t was the pioneer farmer who
made America. His methods were
largely clean cultivation and con-
tinued cropping The elements of
our great fertile plains and val
leys were deprived of their nat
ural covering which nature had
afforded. Man gave wind and
water a chance to destroy land
at an alarming degree. This sy-
stem, if it may be SO called, of
perpetual exhaustion of the soil
has Impoverished our land from
coast to coast.
Change the systeml is the easy
answer to everything. But it does
not follow that to change the sy-
stem settles everything. Ten mil
lion farmers cannot change over
