The North Irish Elections

The outcome Of the parliamentary elec-
tionS In Northern Ireland is as decisive as
1t is significant. After bitterly contested
political campaign, an overwhelming ma
jority of the electorate of the "Six Coun-
ties" has reaffirmed it's determination to
remain part of Britain and the Common
wealth. rejecting all proposals for merger
with the bulk of the island in that inde-
pendent Republic of Ireland" which is
soon to be proclaimed.
This was no ordinary election. It was
essentially plebiscite to register the
preference of the voters on Northern
Ireland's future status Such an official
poll of public opinion was logical at
moment when the rest of the island was
severing its last tenuous tie with Britain
and the Commonwealth. Accordingly, the
government, though in full control of the
legislature, dissolved the local parliament
and took the issue to the people.
The campaign was three-sided affair.
First, there were the Unionists, so-called
because they stand for the continued union
of Northern Ireland with Britain and the
Commonwealth. Secondly, there were the
Nationalists, the proponents of merger
with the Irish Republic Lastly, there was
the Labor Party, which emphasized eco
nomic and social aims above traditional
religious and racial differences. These
Laborites were, however, essentially allies
of the Nationalists, because they deplored
Unionist separation from the rest of Ire
land and advocated at least an eventual
merger of the two sections under social
%;.t.
Labor Party.
The majority of the voters rejected both
the Nationalist and the Laborite theses.
The Unionists not only won seats from the
Nationalists but virtually wiped out the
Laborite representation. The next North
Ireland Parliament will have member
ship more than two-thirds Unionist.
This outcome tends to accentuate the
tension between Northern Ireland and the
rest of the island. In the Republic, all
political parties have united in demanding
an end to partition" Indeed, every pos

Very Truly Yours
by Rabbi David B. Alpert

by Rabbi David B. Alpert
Dear Rose Lee,
Your parents have shown me
the letter from your college dean,
announcing that you have been
on probation.
According to his letter, you
were one of group of forty girls
who went in chartered bus to
attend concert some distance
from the college. On the return
trip to the small UNCONVENTIONAL
college, where you are register
ed, there were complaints that
you were one of the young ladies
who "was boisterous and hilari-
GUS and unlady-like in conduct,
unbecoming to the traditions of
the Sectarian school,"
/ cannot understand the reason
for the severe disciplinary action.
In second and informal letter,
the dean writes that he was not
present and that several young
ladies were involved. The bus
driver made no complaint. At no
time was the bus in danger, &C
cording to the operator. Even
though we cannot understand,
we may not question the judg-
ment of the dean who felt that
severe punishment was neces-
sary.
1t is easy to imagine a group
of young ladies, in a bus at night,
returning from a concert, and
all of them joining in song. It
was a normal and spontaneous
thing to do. But it has ceased to
be a harmless pastime; and has
become stern disciplinary action.
But there is no reason that you
should feel bitter, or discouraged.
The bad mark can easily be eras-
ed by attention to your studies
and to your respectful manners.
This word of warning from the
dean may, and should, persuade
you with stronger zeal and de-
termination to prove your best
at school. This letter about pro-
baton does not charge the favor
in which your parents hold you.

and gayer colors. Whatever in
the everyday surroundings can
become attractive, or made gay
with color and lively form, is
the chance for simple household
art. And Purim has encouraged
art.
Historical associations also come
to mind. Purim was born in Per-
STA, centre of joyous medley of
color and simple enjoyable art
forms. Persia represented and
typified a notable civilization
unique in religion, art, social
customs, ostentation). Every
thing about Persia was outward
ly impressive, even its far-flung
conquests. Without anything
equally impressive at hand, how
ever, the Jews stood against Per-
STA and learned and built and
preserved their own.
Purim is also the reminder
of intermarriages. Did not Es-
ther marry Ahaseurus to save
and serve her people? Ibn Zahav,
retelling Shakespeare's Merchant
of Venice, reminds how Jessica
daughter of Shylock) consented
to intermarriage as the means
of following Esther, in plan to
serve and save her people.
