A YEAR OF RECKONING
One year ago today, the Jews of
Palestine were surrounded by hos
tile Arab governments, threaten
ing a gigantic, British-backed in
vasion to prevent Jewish state
hood. 1t is the miracle of 1948
that the Israeli army has been
able to defend it's borders so ade-
quately that the British have been
forced to make some changes in
their Middle East camel VS.. air
plane strategy.
Most recently, in the U.N. the
British have had to abandon the
Bernadotte plan for Palestine, but
in retreating they have left behind
them, as a last spiteful gesture,
the sabotaging of Israeli efforts
to gain membership in the U.N.
It seems possible, however, that
Britain will give de facto recog-
milton to the Jewish state before
Jan. 25. On that date elections
will take place in Israel, and some
British leaders hope, by extend
ing recognition, to swing the cleo
ton in favor of parties with an

there because he measured up to
certain scholastic standards s-his
religion, his race, his color, his
social background were never
questioned before admittance, be-

Jewish-sponsored, it is determin-

COMMUNAL CURRENTS:

Although the conflict in the
United Palestine Appeal has
finally been settled on terms
acceptable to all involved,
the dissident group known as
the Committee of Contribu-
tors and Workers has not
dissolved itself. However,
the U.P.A leaders did not
press for dissolution of the
group, since the possibility
of it's indulging in an inde-
pendent fund-raising cam
paign is over.
The big question now is
the national conference of
the United Jewish Appeal
at which the quota for 1949
will be set. There is no
time left in December for this
conference. :. 1t can only
be convoked either in the be-
ginning or the end of Janu-
ary, since the weekend in
the middle of the month is set
aside for the General Assem-
bly, of the Council of Jewish
Federations and Welfare
Funds.
On the other hand, the
community leaders who gath
er from all parts of the coun-
try at the General Assembly
of the C.J.F.W.F. are prac-
tically the same who usually
attend the U.J.A. annual
parley. >. Discussions are,
therefore, now in progress
between the C.J.F.W.F. and

Between You and Me
|UN Rebuff Is
Not Serious
By Boris SmoIar
Copyright, 194s, Jewish TeIegraphic
Agency, Inc.)

U.N. ECHOES: The delay in
action on the Israeli application
for membership in the United Ma
tions does not worry any of the
Israeli leaders. 1t is certain
that sooner or later Israel will be
admitted into the U.N. as a full
fledged member. However,
the temporary postponement may
for the time being affect the
Jerusalem situation. =.
The tendency is still strong in the
U.N. to place Jerusalem under an
international regime, as provided
in the partition decision. But
it is known that for some time
quiet talks have been going on
between U.N. acting mediator
Ralph Bunche and Israeli leaders
with regard to Jerusalem. +.
The conversations centered about
the question of how to "inter-
nationalize" Jerusalem and at the
same time meet the Jewish re-
quest that the city with the ex-
ception of its walled section-be
made part of Israel. ;.
The idea was that if Israel is
given membership in the United
Nations, the Israeli Government
could be chosen trustee and ad-
ministrator for Jerusalem on be-
half of the U.N. for as long as
the city would remain under U.N.
trusteeship. -.
The trustee for the Old City in
Jerusalem would, under this
scheme, be. one of the Arab coun-
tries. -. Eventually a plebiscite
would have been carried out lead
ing, without doubt, to Jerusalem's
joining the state of Israel out
right. -.

DRESS FORM;
CINNAMON CANDIES;
SOAP,

III N4lo. L. H. IN, WdSlllllSLol1. L
do not know much about the ~ad-
Unstable dress forms but was never
favorably impressed by them. How
ever, for the past two years I have
owned a form made of plastic by
the sewing machine company and
I think it is excellent. Since I
have had it, my weight has varied
about 10 pounds, 5 up and S down,
and have had no difficulty in using
it. The plastic forms are made so
that the posture and height are the
same as your own and even hens
can be measured. Sewing is very
much easier for me since I have
mine and I feel that the first few
garments I made more than COM
pensated for the cost of it.
To Mrs. r. E. P, Washington, who
requested recipes using red Gin
namOn candies. A delicious and
attractive salad can be made by
boiling whole cored and pared
apples in a sirup made of sugar,
water and the cinnamon candies.
When they are cold, stuff them
with cottage cheese mixed with
mayonnaise and nut meats and
serve on a lettuce leaf. I do not
remember the exact amounts of the
ingredients for the sirup but the
last time I made it I used about
one-fourth pound candies, three
tablespoons granulated sugar and
about one cup water. This made
four large apples with a little sirup
left over which can be used in apple
sauce. 1t is not necessary for the
Sirup to cover the apples while cook:
ing. The bottom half can be cooked
and then the apples turned for the
other half. This eliminates having a
large amount of sirup left over.
To the lady who wanted to know
about using up small pieces of soap.
l used to save them and make a
large cake out of them by shaving
them in fine pieces into a small con-
tainer, pouring hot water over them
and letting them stand to iell ana
then to dry out. I also made soap
jelly. Neither was satisfactory so
now when start using a new bar of
soap, attach the leftover piece to
it by pressing them together with
my hands when each piece is a bit
soft after several uSings. Sometimes
I have to do this two or three times
before they stick permanently. This
is much better than trying to use
up those small bits Of soap.
HOOKING RUG;
VIOLETS?
From Mrs. w. B. ~, Washington. J
To Mrs. r. M. c., Washington. l
hope I can help you with your
hooked rug. I have made several
from woolen cloth and have used
both the regular large hook and
the kind you mention. In using
either kind it is not necessary to
sew the strips, and all the ends
must be pulled through to the right
side of the rug and trimmed even
with the length of the loops.
l have been watching carefully
hoping to find an answer to the
lady's request concerning her Afri-
can violets. Mine are acting exactly
the same way. The leaves stay all
curled up in a knot at the crown
OF the plant and the stem does
not develop. Am I giving them too
much water or not enough? Am
tending to them exactly as I did
last winter and they bloomed con-
tinuously.

"EGGOLOGY."
from M. E. M, Washington. J

Anent eggs, maybe this bit Of
"eggology" will help new house
keepers puzzled about them:
Eggs have been used constantly as
food since the first record of man.
They are fine food, rich in protein,
iron, phosphorous, and A and B
vitamins. Egg recipes fall into three
classes, one using the whole egg,
two using only yolk, three using
only the white. The white of egg
separates from the yolk easier when
the egg is very cold. Never leave
even a f1eck of yolk in the white
but white may be left in the yolk.
The yolk contains fat, that is why
the tiniest bit in the white prevents
it from being stiffly whipped. When
recipe calls for eggs beaten
separately, the whites should be
beaten first, or the beater will have
to be washed twice. After separat-
ing eggs, let stand until at room
temperature, then whites beat
easier, give more. A pinch OF salt
and of cream of tartar makes them
sitter Both yolk and whites may
be kept after separation for few
days. Pour whites in glass jar with
tightly fitting cover. The unbroken
yolks carefully put in creased cup
or bowl. covered with cold water,
put in refrigerator. When ready to
use lift out carefully, or pour off
water. let Yolk slip out.
