There, but for the grace of
God, go my children
BY Madeline Schutzbank

Two gifts of upright pianos
were given to The Arizona Chill
dren's Home recently. One piano
was donated by Mr.. and Mrs. J.
E. Leavitt, N. Melwood ave. The
piano has been in Mr.. Leavitt's
possession since he was a child
taking music lessons. For senti-
mental reasons he never parted
with it. Upon learning of our
services as teacher at the Home,
he gave his piano so that these
children can have the opportuni-
ty of musical education. (There
are so many children at The Chill
dren's Home who were desirous
of studying, that Mrs. Schultz
banks assistant, Suzanne Giles
pie, is also teaching there).
We are planning to present mu-
sical recitals until the children
learn to play and can put on their
own concerts. The pupils studying
piano at the present time are girls
of 13 and IA; we feel that they
are late in beginning and we want
to add music to their lives before
they get much older. would like
to say of these children who have
no other home in the world, they
are wonderful children, well man.
nered and most appreciative of
what is being done for them.
And now I am wishing for a
dramatic art teacher. There are
several talented children who are
anxious to take dramatics. Per-
haps this desire of the children
will be met too.

Community Gets
Reports From
Recent Trips

A-Slob AAA5AA1 OS q PAO1A( AAA~(SAAA0 .
at Congregation Anshei Israel,
Rabbi Albert T. Bilgray reported
ON the two-day session held in
Washington recently, convoked by
the Zionist Emergency Council.
Leaders from 40 states and 600
communities reconsidered the i'm
pact that has developed due to
the extensive preSSureS that our
and other governments have been
subjected to by the British gov
ernment, the oil interests.
The situation has so deteriorat-
ed that action was required by
those favoring the up-holding of
the UN decision for partition.
Rabbi Bilgray was a member
of the Resolutions Committee
which adopted motions demand
ing the immediate lifting of the
arms embargo; invocation of sane
: tions against the Arab states for
defying the UN decision and for
conducting warfare against the
Jewish community there; and fl
nally the formation of an inter-
national police force to implement
partition.
DR.. Emanuel Newman, presi-
dent of ZOA, accused the British
of conspiring to plunge Palestine
into a war between the Arabs and
Jews; establishing large Arab
units, fully armed drawn from
the Arab states. Unless the Amer
lean delegate to the UN takes the
lead, things are likely to drift,
Neuman contended. Rabbi Silver
demanded the UN carry out its
decision with firmneSS.
Abandonment of the arms en-
barge and the attitude of GOODNESS
towards enforcement of partition
were demanded by John McCor-
mack, Democratic House Whip
and Frank Maloney, Pennsylvania
Republican. They contended arms
for defense should not be denied
through the action of our coun-
try.
Commenting on the conference,
Rabbi Bilgray said, "The meetings
impressed me with the fact that
it is urgent that Arizona should
maintain a definite link with eff
forts that are being made in
Washington and elsewhere to
strengthen the UN to achieve
world peace, while making sure
great wrong suffered by the Jew
ish people shall be righted."
There needs to be real aware
ness, he contends, that the COM
munity at a local level can ac-
complish much, must grid them
selves to action if they wish to
strengthen the bonds of the UN.
Stressing that the opposition has
great sources of money and influ-
ence and are ready to capitalize
every circumstance, Rabbi Bill
gray recommends an active pub
lie relations program, a communi-
ty-wide and possibly a statewide
commission which will represent
our opinion in this and related
matters and to keep us informed
on our civic responsibilities.
Raphael Brandes, delegate of
the Tucson Community Council to
the regional meeting of Councils
of Jewish Federations and We'll
fare Funds, held recently at Sac
ramento, Calf, gave a compre-
hensive report.
He stressed the manner by
which the figure of $250,O00,00

Last Tuesday the Tucson Com
posers gave a concert of their mu-
sical works at The Temple of

siastic audience received them.

duct Round Table on 'Prelim-
mary Piano Training" in Phoenix
for the Arizona State Music

Crew Of Ferry Is Cleared
0fNeg|igence in Grounding
BY the Associoted Pres.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 21.-Crew
members of the ferry Gov Herbert
r. O'Conor were exonerated by the
Coast Guard today of any negligence
in the ferrys grounding last Janu-
ary 25.
Comdr. Alfred w. Kabernagle,
head of the Coast Guard Marine
Inspection Unit here, said three
man Coast Guard Board of Inquiry
reached its decision following hear
ings with crew members and several
passengers who were aboard when
the ship went aground.
The report found that:
The grounding was attributable
to hazards incidental to navigating
under adverse circumstances due to
unusual and abnormal ice conditions.
There was an absence of naviga-
ton aids such as buoys, which had
been displaced by ice.
The passengers were delayed con-
siderably, but at no time were in
any danger after grounding.
The board also decided that the
failure of officials to request as
sistance appeared at first to be a
fault, but that 1t developed that any
assistance attempted would have
been impractical.

Snow Covers Britain
And Western Europe
BY me Assoeiotsd Press

LONDON, Feb. 21.-Snow fell
thickly in Britain and Western
Europe today. Weather forecasters
said the late winter cold wave would
continue at least until the middle of
next week, ,n.,...4..7 r. ~7,t-
Temperatures IN Britain were
slightly higher than yesterdays
winter minimums, rising to the
upper 20s. Berlin reported q mini
mum of degree Fahrenheit.
Snow felI the length Of the, Ital-
ian peninsula. In Venice it blinded
boatmen, who rigged their gondolas
with lights and foghorns.
More community warming halls
we're opened to shelter children and
the aged in .fuel-short Berlin.
The cold wave stopped all out
door reconstruction work in bizonal
Germany.
The Paris weather bureau pre-
dicted the cold wave, severest OF the
winter, would not break before Wed
nesday.
Stockholm reported the tempera-
ture-14 degrees above zero Fahren-
heit-"quite normal for the season.
But in Britain, unused to heavy
snow, drifts piled high and stalled
traffic. However, there appeared tt
be no immediate danger of a gen.
eral breakdown such as that result
ing from last February's near-recorc
freezeup.
