TIME MATZOH'S ON! The
current social dance of the year
that has all Tucson society In an
uproar are the magnanimous plans
for the famed Matzoh Ball, to
which everyone I've contacted
says they're going. No sense Far
telling around with that one.
Pesach was evidently something
specially to be enjoyed the way
Bill Weinberg and his attractive
cousin, Edith Reinhart, came rush
ing into Feig's the other PM.
If you haven't yet heard Cantor

ther of Mrs. Marvin Volk, and fire.

lations to Ralph Fiebleman on his
excellent scholastic record and
initiation into Phi Kappa Phi ma
tional honorary. Another gradu-
ate, and well known TucSonan,
Dave Hoff, is now associated with
Stevens Surveyors. Ben Snyder,
that pleasant Kentucky gentle
man, is now working at the meat
market in Soleng Center. Dave
Wiener, brother of Charlotte
Wiener, tells me that Charlotte
is taking her New York State
teachers examination. Nate Co.
lub opened his new Century Stores
with a real Hollywood flourish.
Mates got a pretty good line of
automotive stuff there. Best
wishes for success, Nate.
There's lady in Tucson who
has done much for her fellow hu-
mans. Not only has she devoted
time to the Red Cross, but single
handed last year collected more
money for the American Cancer
Society than any other person
here. This year it looks like she
will do it again. To lady have
never seen when she wasn't wear

Tucson Community owes debt
of gratitude, 1 say thanks-to one
of Tucson's great women - Mrs

Oh-that Tucson dog track. Out
there the other night / saw Mr.

pouring over a possible candidate

Quick Success

It took only six months for
Morris Winter and Morrie Green
field to make real progress in
Tucson.
A half year ago they started
out in a small location at 1401 E.
7th, featuring hand-laundry
Evidentally the public liked the
work of the two Morrises, for
just recently they were forced to
move to larger quarters at 31O
E. 9Th.
The name of their firm is the
French Hand Laundry, featuring
free pickup and delivery serv-
ice. The partners should be good.
They have 38 years experience in
the business.

If 1 had had any winners, fellows,
I would have been leaving then!
Ahem. / overheard Elliott Crane
telling his wife, Ruth, about one
of the housewives at the track
who was picking winners right
and left. Seems her system was
that of punching the racing form,
pin in hand, and her eyes closed.
1 investigated further and found
out how this particular housewife
had been winning so many quin-
elias like a daily double). She
was using a fork!

Hadassah to Garry On
Throughout Summer

Tucson's Hadassah is thought to
be the first chapter in the country
which has voluntarily decided to
carry on program thru the sum-
mer rather than disband until fall
as has been the custom in former
years.
In arriving at this decision Mrs.
Louis Cohen, Hadassah chairman
explains, eve intend to operate
all summer long and it is our earn
est desire to have as many of the
members as remain in town, CO.
operate with us. Our main reason
for summer program is undoubt-
edly obvious. We must raise addi-
tional funds for Hadassah's medi-
cal programs in Palestine and for
our other services there. These
have been made extremely ur-
gent by the happenings in Pales-
tine during these past few weeks.
Palestine Day will be observed
throughout the country May 10.
Hadassah women and the COM
munity are asked to contribute to
the Jewish National Fund which
is accelerating purchase of land
holdings in Palestine. Every add
ed gunam extends the foundations
of the Jewish state. Contributions
should be sent to Mrs. Fannie
Goldenberg, 1922 E. 9Th, or to Mrs
Louis Cohen, 2639 E. 4th.

MUSIC IN MAY

Each year the piano pupils of
Madeline Schutzbank perform in
a series of recitals called "Music
in May" The first of these recitals
was held Sunday, May End, at the
home of Mrs. Schutzbank. Those
playing were Sara Ruth Hand
maker, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
l. H. Handmaker; Joan Lichten-
stein, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Jack Lichtenstein and Ruth Bano-
vitz, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. F.
Banovitz.
Solo recitals will be held each
following Sunday, when each
young artist will give the entire
program. Sarah Ruth Handmaker,
IL years old, is the youngest to
give a solo program. She played
compositions of Bach, Beethoven
and Chopin.
On May ~ recital Will be helo
at the Arizona Home for Children
at which time some of the per-
formers will be children at the
Home who have been studying
with Mrs. Schutzbank.
The final event will be Sunday
evening, May 30, when Garden
Party will honor those students
who depart in the Fall to univer-
sites and Conservatives in the
east. Former Schutzbank pupils
who are now away at school, have
been invited and they will pro-
vide the program for the evening.

OFF the ReCOrd

THE PALESTINE PICTURE
BY Nathan Ziprin

AS this is being written word
reaches US from excellent sources
at Lake Success that the appoint
ment of General Helldring as
Assistant to the Secretary of State
in charge of Palestine Affairs
presages a major reversal in US.
Palestine policy With Hill
dring's return and the elimination
of 10y Henderson, bitter foe of
partition, it is virtual certainty
the U. S. will again espouse partl-
ton. If you care to speculate on
the motives behind the expected
change you would do well to fol-
low two tracks (1) the certainty
that a motion before the Assembly
to abandon the November 29 de-
cision would be defeated and (2)
the growing realization that the
Jewish forces in Palestine are not
only strong enough to defend the
Jewish state but to strike, if neces-
sary, against the rest of Palestine
What could the Arabs do if
their territory were seized first as
defensive, move and then kept
on the ground that "to the victor
belong the .spoils?". Reversion
to partition is now grounded on
saving the military prestige of
the Arab states -. A military de-
feat for Transjordan would send
Abdullah into exile and lead to a
scramble for his country q. =. Wash
ington also realizes that there is
major discomfort in the Arab
states and that in the event of war
the restive elements would come
to the fore For instance, if Iraq
were to send troops to Palestine
there is no doubt the suppressed
Kurds would resume their war
fare -. If Egypt were to fight
and that country's military history
is marked only by defeats-the re-
moval of major forces from the
country would open the f1oodgate
to the government opposition and
lead perhaps to revolt. King Ibn
Saud of Saudi Arabia, who was so
bellicose when the partition de-
cision was made, has been
strangely silent He and Abdul
lah love each other like poison :.
Haganah's victories since it went
on the offensive have convinced
Washington the Arab dome it hop
ed to build in the Near East would
collapse into shambles once it
came into combat with the power
full and intelligently led Jewish
forces Neither the Arabs nor
American interests in the Near
East care for a real showdown . i.
This may sound like icy irony,
but it is nevertheless true that
many military experts in Wash
ington are now inclined toward
letting partition go into effect
rather than risk the possibility OF
the Arab bloc suffering an
The Arizona post., 1948-05-07

irrepairable military and political
defeat Another consideration
is the indisputable fact that the
Arabs in Palestine are showing no
enthusiasm to fight :. Palestine's
Arabs know what to expect from
economic unity with a Jewish
state. They do not envy the
economic status of the Arabs in
the neighboring countries -.

Earl ROok Has
Electric Trains
As A Hobby
BY Sue Woodadu

If you do not have a train to
play with this Christmas 60 to
see Earl Rook. At his home on
Hamilton Street he has one en-
tire room with trains. All the
furniture has been removed.
The ceiling is painted to repre-
sent the sky, the walls are paint
ed with landscape scenes
and mountains showing winding
roads on which travellers are
passing. .454
On platform four feet from
the floor covering the entire
room as a working table cover
ed with clay and sand, tracks
are laid for ten trains to run
on. Across one side of the
room on the platform are built
mountains three feet high on top
of which miniature villages have
been built, complete with red
barns, animals and. " people.
Down over this cIiH falls a
mountain waterfall which turns
the wheel of grist mill below
and forms a pond on which
boats drift. In another noun
tain is a forest fire tower.
Also, through these mountains
tunelS are built for the trains
to pass in and out. To one side
is a coal mine labeled John L..
Lewis" Down a track some
distance is wrecking train
bringing in a derailed train.
Almost every kind of train is
.represented-shifter engine, coal
and log cars, passenger coaches
and mail cars. The coaches
have, bucklers which enable the
cars to hook and unhook to each
other, are lighted with people
in them.
To make the display more
realistic, there is a arilroad sta
ton with people, a railroad eros
sing with warning signals and
gate closings. On the road
waiting to pass the tracks is an
automobile wrecker dragging a
car. There is magnetic crane
with actually loads and unloads
cars, One button pushed will
send a man out with seven milk
cans which he sets on a plat
form and then returns. Anoth-
er switch causes the mail train
to catch a sack of mail off the
hook.
Everything is controlled by
intricate wiring for remote con-
troll. Switches are so arranged
that three trains can use one
track.
Mr.. Rock says he has a
garage full of things to add to
his hobby, When entering the
rom and closing the door one
is transported to another planet
