BY VIRGINIA PISTOR

The circus I saw last fall In
Tucson and the circuses l remem-
ber from 80 years ago and more
in my home town of Red Lodge,
Montana, are so far apart both In
time and quality as to seem hard
ly comparable at first glance.
Words currently used in tout
ing the wares of motion picture
studios so smugly and erroneous
ly, but actually indigenous to big
top advertising, have at last in
this year of our grace, become en-
tirely meaningful. No question
about it, last seasons Ringing
Brothers was in sober truth thrill
ing, stupendous, colossal! Even
forgive me) super-super-colos-
sal!
No doubt, all things being rel
ative, the circus of yesteryear was
not to be sneezed at in the matter
of glitter and thrills either. Ger
tainly it brought to Red Lodge
the sharpest excitement of the
year-due not only to the pleas
ure taken in the entertainment
itself, but to the inevitable though
temporary changes produced In
the town as we'll. Doors left un-
locked day and night the rest OF
the year were carefully bolted on
circus day. Valuables ordinarily
left in the cracked teapot in the
cupboard were put into ingeni-
ously contrived hiding places.
And children allowed freely to
roam the dusty roads and the
paths along Rock Creek, were
confined to front yards.
Anything might happen. 1t was
unquestionably believed by most
citizens then that circus perform
ers were no better than they
should be, and that the roust-
abouts, the barkers, the sellers of
balloons and pennants, all those
in fact who travelled with the cir

Gus were at best, not to be trust
ed, and at worst, the scum of the
earth.
In this respect, too, the circus
has changed completely. The men
who now man the equipment look
like husky college boys, complete
with white T shirts and crew
haircuts. The concessionaires
could be, and probably are, strug-
Cling Ph.D's trying to turn an
honest penny. Even the barkers,
and I say it sadly, have lost color
as they have gained caste.
Today's circus is tremendously
bigger than yesterdays. It is al
together a more adult show, a
brighter, faster, more breath-tak-
ing show, with quality of sophis-
tication which would be new to
Red Lodge.
But the old spell is there. Cir
Gus makes children of us all. It is
the world of phantasy lived out
in actuality. All of the things
common to our dreams come true
at last. All men are strong, all
women young and beautiful. You
fly through the air with the
greatest of ease, and gracefully,
effortlessly, balance on a fore
finger. Glittering hoops are
thrown with the speed of light,
and the law of gravity is constant
ly defied. Wild beasts behave like
kittens in world peopled by
giants and midgetS, and life, for
two and half hours is topsy tur-
Wy, upside down and entirely
wonderful.

Circumcision:
The Ritual Explained

measure for the Secularization of
this fundamental ritual. The ira
ditional performance of the Birth
Milah is jeopardized by the fact
that some Jewish women have
been led to think that it is just as
proper to have a physician per-
form this ritual. In some instances
mothers have argued that the best
Nobel is not capable, surgically
speaking, as the least capable doc
tor.
This type of argument repre-
sents a falsehood which is con-
trary to fact. Circucision is a sim
pie operation which most Nobel
i'm have mastered to an amazing
degree. 1t is logical to expect that
specialization should be associated
with high degree of perfection.
The important thing is that the
Jewish background and religiosity
of practically all Mohelim render
them alone peculiarly fit for the
performance of this religious rite.
We must face the indisputable
fact that in Biblical, Talmudic and
Rabbinic Judaism circumcision is
recognized as fundamental in re-
ligious law. It symbolizes not only
the love of God and the covenant
existing between God and Israel,
but also the love of the individual
Jew for his people (Kuzari 81,
Moreh 3:49, 1kkarim 4:45, Kimchi
and Abravenel to Genesis 17). One
Talmudic sage even ventures to
say that circumcision outweighs
all the other commandments NE
darim 31).

Why A Nobel And Not
A Physician?

Through the Birth Milah or
Circumcision, the symbol of the
indestructible and ineffaceable tie
that links Israel with God is
grafte dinto our very flesh. Even
modern physicians advocate cim-
cumcision for hygienic reasons.
Yet you will not find its eXplana-
ton in the Bible or in the Tai
mud.
Its purely religious motive is
conveyed in the words of God to
Abr a h a m &C en- is 17:9-12)
6. thou shalt keep my covenant,
thou and thy seed after thee
throughout IN cir generations.
This is my covenant which ye
shall keep he that is eight
days old shall be circumcized."
This rite is the abiding symbol of
the conservation of the children
of Abraham to the God Of Abra-
ham. Hence, circumcision is often
referred to as the Covenant of
Abraham"
Participants
It is customary to have min
van (ten men) present at Birth
Milah.
In addition there are "Kwat-
ter" and "Kwatterin," coming
from the German word "Gevat-
ter" or godfather, a man and
woman who hand the baby to the
Sandah. Thus the father is made
to feel that the community at
large is ready to assist him in his
sacred task of transmitting Isra-
els heritage to his son.
Religious Aspect
At the Birth, the Nobel and the
father recite blessing in which
they express their gratitude to
God for His commandment con-
corning the circumcision, and
those assembled heartily respond
with the prayer: Even as he has
entered into the covenant, so may
he enter the Torah, the nuptial
canopy and into good deeds"
It is this religious motive which
makes it imperative that Nobel
and not a physician should per-
form the circumcision. Only the
Nobel, as a religious observant
Jew, can transmit to those present
the sacred godly aspect of this
ritual.
Tradition Jeopardized
Unfortunately, the restrictions
of hospital regulations concerning
the Birth ceremony have made it
difficult for the guests to hear
the prayers and to grasp their
significance. 1t is perhaps this fact
that is responsible in a great

The association heard two mem
bers of the Young Republicans Club
debate the proposed sales tax.
Gilbert Hahn spoke for the tax
and based his arguments on the fact
that the tax would spread the bur-
den more evenly than would an in
crease in the income or real estate
tax
Kenneth Adams, opposing the tax,
said all possibilities of revenue
should be investigated before the
sales tax Is adopted He advocated
extension of the income tax to in
clude people from other States who
live here but now pay no local taxes,
He said the real estate tax rate here
is far below those in cities of COM

The association, in the past, has
favored the sales tax.

Montgomery Council
To Pick Frederic Lee

The new Montgomery County
Council announced last night that

president when the Council takes
Office later this month.
Thomas C. Kelley of DarnestoWn,

new body.
Chosen Unanimously.
Ihe officers designate were
tfhosen by unanimous vote in caucus.
Members said council organization
is among the decisions being reached
ahead of time to facilitate opera
tions when the change over is made
from commissioner government.
Earlier the council-elect issued a
statement to reassure county en-
ployeS that none need fear reprisal
for his political afhliation or posi-
ton with respect to adoption of the
charter. The incoming body said all
efficient, loyal workers would be re-
tained, provided they abide here
after by charter prohibition
against political activity.
Mr.. Lee is regarded as the out
standing authority on the council
manager system.
Helped Write Charter.
He has been identified with the
charter movement for many years
and had hand in writing the doc
ument which Montgomery voters
approved last November Twice he
successfully defended it in the
Maryland court against attacks on
constitutionality.
His choice for president is taken
to indicate the councils intent of
conducting the government on a
nonpartiSan basis.
Mr.. Lee is member of the Wash
lngton law firm of Alvord and
Alvord. He has been legislative coun-
sci to both the House of Repre-
Sentatives and the Senate, a special
assistant to the Secretary of Agri-
culture and general counsel of the
Federal Alcohol Control Admins
tration.
He formerly was a member of the
Maryland-National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, served
for two years as president of the

ttion and twice was awarded The

been belittled. But more detailed

After all, it was pointed out, the
White House is the best guarded
building in the United States, and
it is unlikely any fire could go
undetected long enough to become
really dangerous.

Other Proposed Changes.
Other proposed changes include
an amendment permitting the

The general tone of the proposals

One proposal led observers to be-

that members Of such groups could

Veterans Club Sales
Of Liquor Opposed by
Federation in County

Casting its first roll call vote in
eight years, the Montgomery
County Civic Federation last night
disapproved proposed legislation to
grant certain veterans organiza-
tions the right to sell beer, wine
and liquor in their clubhouses.
The vote of At to 80 followed
two hours of discussion at a meet
ing in the Bethesda Elementary
School.
The legislation was drafted by
the Silver Spring Memorial Post
OF the Veterans of Foreign Wars
In cooperation with the Cissel-
Saxon Post of the American Legion.
1t would provide that the license
be issued by the Circuit Court to
the veterans organization with
these restrictions:
The organization would have to be

months. The local group would have
to own improved real estate valued
at SIS 900, have membership of 100
and hold monthly meetings. The
license would be valid only in a
"bonaflde" clubhouse.
Since the proposed bill is highly
controversial, sthe Montgomery
County delegation had asked the
federation to express its views, A

that any method of appointment
places the appointing authority be-
tween the School Board and the
people 1t represents.
The federation approved without
argument a resolution asking the
county legislative delegation to in
crease the present per cent bonded
debt limitation to 10 per cent. It
turned down a proposed resolution
suggesting that Federal income tax
payment be considered a legitimate
deduction In computing the State
