The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1949-09-23

Rabbi Morris A. Skop, fire.
quent contributor to The South
ern Jewish Weekly, has resigned
his position as religious leader OF
the Orlando Jewish Community
to accept an assignment at Coral
Gables. He will be sorely missed
bv the entire Orlando community
where he was highly esteemed by
Reform, Orthodox and Conserva-
tive Jewry as we'll as by the pub
lie at large.
The Chapel Hill weekly., 1949-07-15

Emphasizing the high de-.
gree of community cooperation
achieved, the article says: "All
the agricultural agencies in in the tEse
county we're eager to help.
Those included the extension
service, soil conservation serv-
ice, farmers home administra-
tion, production and marketing
administration, and the voca-
tional-agriculture department of
the Hillsboro high school,"
This statement by Mrs. A. B.
Latta is quoted: Folks have
lived in this community for
years, passed each other on the
road and spoke, but they hardly
knew each other until we all
started working together on the
community-service project"
Describing the building of
the first-prize $4,000 Grange
hall and community meeting
center, the magazine says: 'The
new Grange hall, to be complet-
ed this fall, will have just about
everything: a modern kitchen,
a dining hail. a library, game
rooms, a motion-picture projec-
tor, and a new piano-all in ad-
dition to a big meeting room"

Social Security Report

The growth of the old-age and
survivors insurance system, as
recently reported to Congress m
the Ederaf Security Agency's
annual report, is reflected in this
area by data from the Durham
Social Security Office. Mrs. Nina
IA. Matthews, manager of the
Office, reports that in June of
l948 there were 2,242 persons
in the areas six counties. who
were receiving $50, ,433 monthly
in old-age and survivors bene-
fits, and that by April of 1949
these figures had increased to
2,601 persons receiving SAL, 900
monthly. This is a general in
crease of about 16 per cent dur
ing the ten-months period.
The report showed that in
Orange county 235 persons were
receiving about $500 month
in benefits. Mrs. Matthews said
that about SO per cent of these
were children and mothers with
children in their care and that
the others are insurance bene-
ficiaries 65 years of age or older.
A total of about 100000
workers have earned wage
credits under the Social Secur-
ity system.

Betty Smiths Review of Henderson,s Book

we hope to see it adorned with
an elegant village. accommodate
ed with all the necessaries and
conveniences of civilized so
ciety.' Thus was a Village CON
ceived. It's name came from a
Chapel of Ease called the Hill
of New Hope Chapel, shortened
to Chapel Hill by the first
Scotch-Irish settlers.
when the University opened
on Jan. IL, 1895, the faculty
consisted of one man instruct
ing ing at { lew lew price. price Giving to poor
publicity and muddy roads, DR..
Ker, grand, gloomy and pecu-
liar had to wait one month for
his first student, who came
walking $50 miles to enroll. For
a time Hinton James was the
entire student body. Later he
wrote a prize essay on The
Pleasures of College Life DIR.
Henderson suspects him of sa-
tire.
This book is a complete
record of the growth of the vii
lage University. DR.. Henderson
says that its writing was under
taken with no little diffidence
and has been a labor of love and
far-reaching research. And in
deed this is so. 1t is a love
book, affectionately written and
carefully documented."

Why More Home Runs Today!

There's nothing to the popu-
lar belief that Old-time baseball
players hit fewer home runs
than modern players because OF
the dead" bali used in those
days, according to John Kobs,
veteran Michigan State base
ball coach, whose teams play
here every spring.
"The ball used then was just
about as lively as the one used
now," Mr.. Kobs told a news
paperman this week. II know,
| recently tested a bunch of balls
dating from about 1910 against
some brand-new ones. ] dropped
them on cement paving from a
high step-ladder, and the old
balls bounced just about as high
as the new ones"
When asked why today's
heavy hitters get more home
runs than the old-timers, Mr..
Kobs said, For one thing, The
old-time hitters weren't shoot
ing for the long ball like the
moderns. They choked up on the
bat, used q spread grip, and
tried to punch hits through OF
over the infield. Secondly, pitch
ers used all sorts of now illegal
ruses to get an edge on the bat
ter. They used spitters sand
papered, cut, and deliberately
disclored balls.
Another big factor is that
today couple of dozen balls, al
brand new and ripe for slugging
are used in a single game. In the
old days two or three balls lasted
| for an entire game and were
beaten into such sorry shape
that nobody could hit them very
far"

Magazine Celebrates an Orange Community

One of the great national
magazines, the Country Gentle
man, celebrates in it's July issue
the Schley community here in
Orange county.
An article by Fred Bailey,
entitled Grange Formula for
Better Living" tells how the
Schley Grange won the first
prize in nationwide contest
by its success with five prof.
ects: soil conservation, tele-
phones, recreation, church i'm
provements, and home beautifi-
cation.
"Schley is one of the oldest
farming settlements in the
country, dating back to the late
16OO's," writes Mr.. Bailey.
Many generations of tobacco
and cotton farmers drew from
the rolling hill land most of its
fertility. Ugly gully scars cut
across the face of the earth"

o. Reitzel, R. L. Mohler, Char
lie Miller and Jack -Mincey, as
well as the Mars Hill Baptist
