The 1948-49 American Jewish
Year Book came to us this week
wearing an attractive green jack
ct the first time we remember
the Year Book dressed this way
=. Perhaps it's because of its
Both anniversary.
The Year Book today as it was
planned fifty years ago is divided
into two parts 49,. One part con-
tains reference material the
other historical source material .
It is noted that in the first edi-
tion only twenty national organi-
cations are listed In the Jubi-
lee volume about 30 n listed {.
That alone is indicative of the
growth of Jewish life in this coun-
try and the diversified interests
which have shown expression in
the tremendous field of organized
activity 80.
In 1900 the Year Book revealed
that there was a total of AZ Jew
ish periodicals -. 175 are report
ed in the current compilation ...
This is just the beginning of i'm
portant statistics which appear in
the book The book is invalu-
able to all those interested in the
current history of the Jewish peo-
pie -.
In previous years it was III
tomary to dedicate the book to
an outstanding personality in the
Jewish scene and usually bio
graphical sketches were featured
-. This is not so with the Ju-
bilee edition Reports of the
conditions of the Jews all over
the world are reported in full .
And I do not know but that I am
a little provoked that this book
could have had a double Jubilee,
dedicated to the new State of Is
rael -.
Perhaps the new state has it's
rightful place in the report of
Palestine and the Near East
The effect on Jews in all corners
of the globe is not ignored
I am n of those who think it
should be highlighted -.
The Year Book is a release of
the Jewish Publications Society .

Tomorrow for
12.Day Meet
(Bo,pie Entries on Page B-4J

The spring racing season for
Maryland opens tomorrow with
Bowie starting its 12-day meet
ing with an eight-race card fea-
turing the 6-furlong $4,000
added Rowe Memorial. Post time
for the first race is 2 o'clock, with
the daily double closing at 1:45.
The racing strip hass been in
excellent shape, although it might
have been slowed a bit by yester-
days rain. A crowd of nearly
$4,000 is expected If the weather
is good.
+ Four other stakes are carded
before the Bowie meet closes on
April 8. Harve de Grace follows
with its 21-day card, after which
Pimlico comes in for an eight
day stand between May and IA.
Thirteen horses are listed for
tomorrow's Rowe Memorial. with
fayortism likely to be divided be-
tween the three-horse entry of
Gustave Ring of Washington and
Mrs. OTIS Nyberg's 1risen. Irisen
is weighed favorably at 113 pounds
and will be ridden by Ira Han
ford who guided her this winter
when she won four of SIX races
on Florida tracks.
The Ring entry includes Kitch-
en- Police, Top Pilot and Rare
Jewel. Best in this trio appears
to be Rare Jewel, a gray gelding
who improved with each race in
Florida and won six of seven
starts. The others also competed
in Florida.
Other entries pack considerable
speed and the 6-furlong distance
is conducive to a zeal scramble
Due for attention are such others
as c. c. Tanners Nearway, Rareo
Stables Darby D'Amour and Tight
Squeeze, Clarence Hartwick's Flag
Drill, Grandview Stables Erigeron
and P. A. Rothfuss's Gain A'Foot.
Record for the Rowe is 1:11A
set in 1910. but the speed Of to-
morrow's field could threaten that
mark If the track is fast.
The arrival of horses from
Florida has swelled the thorough
bred population working out at
Bowie for some time, and with the
track in excellent shape due to
the mild winter some good pro-
grams are expected during the
next II days. A number Of modern
gadgets have been installed and
one which the spectators particu-
larly will appreciate is teletimer.
This is an electrical apparatus
that automatically times each race
and flashes the fractional figures

Still on the job-the purge
was just in the jokes-he was
