A RECORD OF PROGRESS

Home Demonstration club members have
been showing their appreciation to Miss Jean
Steele for her work here as county agent. She
has been honored with parties and showered
with gifts. .
Looking back over the years she has been in
this county, we find that the best part of her
work cannot be shown in statistical records,
nor volumes Of narrative reports. We consider
that her most redeeming characteristics have
been conscientious devotion to duty and sin
cere interest in her groups whole, as we'll
in personalities of her members.
Not long ago her office was visited by a
State Extension worker and pronounced one of
the best in the United States. Consider the
ina gination it must have taken to visualize an
office of the kind she has today and the ini-
tiative it must have taken to put those dreams
into being. Her women know she has exercised
those same qualities in bringing out their best
abilities
There are not too many people in the world
who carry out instructions effectively in
their work. There are fewer who can plan their
work and then carry it out efficiently. But per-
haps the most valued of all workers is the one
whose competency and strength of character
equip her to function as efficiently and con-
sscientiously when there is no superior worker
overseeing Lne Work as Wnen IL is De1ng close
ly supervised. Miss Steele is in that top bracket
Miss Steele had thought of hours. She
was confined to her office routine and county
visits during the day, but attended night club
meetings too. She received visiting workers
with whom she was associated in her work at
her office the week-ends to consult with
them regarding the work. The dinners she
planned and supervised to raise money for
Home Demonstration work were not included
in the work program planned for her. They
were her own idea.
Today when so many people become dis
couraged because their work, their hours or
their pay it not exactly they wish it to be;
when some complain that there is no way to
make money except by being in a business of
ones own when many bewail the fact that
there is no longer anyone in whom he or she
can place confidence, it is an inspiration to stop
a moment and look at a record like Miss
Steele's You see ingenuity, integrity and a
point of view concerned with something big
ger than few, small, selfish interests.
We congratulate her on her promotion to
higher office, and wish for her all the rewards
she deserves.

NAVY REDUCTIONS

Starting late this month the Navy
will begin to take ships out of &C
tive fleets and tie them up, with the
idea that, by the end of the present
fiscal year, the U. S. Navy will be
pared down to fit the present guess
of the navy official about the bud
gets size. To the laid up fleet, along
with several carriers, will go other
ships that support carrier task fore
es, including destrovers and prob,
ably some cruisers. The overall bud
get for the Army, Navy and Air
Force will be between $13,4OO,O ,OOO,-
900 and s13,700,OOO.OOO. as COM
pared with the $15,283, 100000 for
the fiscal year of 1949, which end
ed on June 80.

tured inner tube, trying to find the leak.

We do not think of ourselves

America but Of it. Nor do we
think of ourselves as itinerant
boarders here. True, there are
people who do not like us even
in this good country; but as Jews
we have lived long enough in his
tory not to expect universal love
in an imperfect world.
Our faith is in the democratic
process which is even now in
ferment toward a time when
every man shall be respected. or
reviled. for himself alone and
none judged by his creed. race or
color.
America is our Zion-a place
of ingathering for the millions of
mankind who carry the dream of
a good life here and now. Yet
we applaud your Zion, dear Mr..
Ben Gurion. You, too, strive to-
ward good and free way of life

We feel kin to you as people who
toll toward the same mountain
top that is the goal of America;
of course, we feel kin to you, be-

belong to our history as Jews and
who share with us the inherit
ance of Jewish ethical teaching.
Yet we can never consider our
selves as having any. except

cation: To bring up our children
that they may be Jews worthy
Of America.
You, and other chiefs of Israel,
should know all this in order that
Israel may avoid the error that
attempts to embrace all Jewry in
its nationhood. Let Israel be
content in its function as refuge
