has warm spot in his heart for
children who want toys that they
can't afford. He is Alex Ander-
son, who was in charge of an auc-
ton sponsored by the Police De-
partment.
Unclaimed property was being
offered for sale and among the
articles were bicycyes. sporting
equipment and other things.
When the first bike was put up
for sale, a man shouted a bid of
$40. Somebody else bid SIS.
Anderson halted the bidding
and said there were children in
the room who ought to get the
first chance. He then called on the
youngsters to make an offer
any offer.
Two brothers bid dollar for
a bike. They got it. All the other
youngsters put in bids. Finally
only one bike remained. A. little
girl said bashfully that she'd like
the bike. but she only had 80
cents. Sold, said Anderson.
After the youngsters had left
with their property, the auctione-
er put things on a more business

CHARLESTON SETS
AN EXAMPLE
Continued from Page Three)

implying that the new Mohelim as
well were strangers to these skills.
It was to no avail to repeat time
and time again that the Mohelim
were competent and had each per-
formed hundreds of successful
operations, more perhaps than all
the six Jewish doctors together.
What had been happening in many
of the smaller towns CT the United
States had finally come to pass in
Charleston.
The major and deciding factor
in the entire conflict came when
the physicians made the categoric
assertion that the 'MOhelim just
did not know their work well
enough to be trusted. How could
a European immigrant or an I'M
tutOred American, for that matter,
they argued, perform a surgical
operation without formal educa-
ton in anatomy? Or, if faced
with excessive bleeding, how could
the Nobel apply proper medical
techniques to halt the hemOrr-
hage? And what did the lay OPP
orator know about preventing the
dangers of infection? In any case,
the argument would be climaXed,
why expose the new born child to
needless risks when physician
could make the necessary incisiOns
with complete efficiency?
Interestingly enough, in all the
arguments that flew back and
forth over the bridge tables and
at the synagogue meetings, it was
generally conceded that there was
no inherent incompatibility or
conflict between the religious de-
mands and modern medical re-
quirements. What was necessary
to solve this problem, was the
application of this premise through
a plan permitting every religious
need to be fulfilled, and at the
same time giving the infant the
benefit of all modern surgical pro-
cesses.
Yet, when during the first week
of June only one of the seven boys
that were born in the community
was ritually circumcised, the stu
alton appeared too far gone to be
salvaged. 1t was then, when it
seemed that the battle was all but
lost, that the only way out, which
was also the easiest, was discOv=
cred. Why not really create a
forum for the frank interchange
of ideas and opinions between the
MOhelim and doctors? Such an
arrangement would give the par
Elephants an opportunity to know
each other better, to acquaint each
other with their respective Oper-
ating techniques, and generally
pave the way for a healthier re-
latiOnship and greater mutual re-
spect. Why not really call a
meeting of all the Jewish doctors
in the city and ask them to con-
stitute themselves a Consulting
Board to do the following:
u Set the standards, according
to their specifications and salts
faction, by which Mohelim could
be certified as capable.
y Examine the incumbents as
to their qualifications in relation
to the standards established.

BetWeen he
Lines

Cardinal Spellman's vitrlollc at
tack on Mrs. Roosevelt for her
support of the Barden bill which
would deny federal funds to par
ochial schools seems utterly un-
warranted. 1t looks as if the ehi-
nent c%hurchman was attempting to
make an example or a scapegoat
of the former First Lady but to
a casual observer he did not adj
vance the cause of Catholicism in
this country.
The attempt to disparage and
belittle and castigate anyone for
an honest expression of opinion on
public policy is undemocratic and
unchristian and itself smacks of
the very intolerance that is the
thorn in the flesh Of the current
body polite. But to attempt such
against Mrs. Roosevelt who has
won international affection and
renown for her breath of spirit
and her uncompromising tolerance
for all groups, Negroes included,
seems highly impolitic and spec
ious and does not become the dig
nifty that belongs unto a prelate
of Cardinal Spellman's eminence.
Religious prejudice like race
prejudice stems from ignorance
| and the intolerance begotten there
of is just as despicable when
evinced by a high churchman as
when evinced by the common peo-
pie. It is no wonder then that the
hotables of the land are flocking
to Mrs. Roosevelt's defense and
it is tragically possible that the
great Catholic church will lose
iground in it's fight in a land
where Catholicism is far from the
generally accepted creed.
Fortunately for this writer, he
can write without bias or preju-
dice on religious and denomina-
tional matters for he understands
too we'll the shallowness of the
arguments that stand one creed
or race in opposition to all others.
The world would doubtless be bet

When the government denies fed
eral funds to the Catholic schools
it does not discriminate unless it
supplies funds to other denomina-
tons. The fact that stands out in
majestic proportions is, this coun-
try is committed to the education
of it's youths and has so provided
and if Catholics are willing to
take advantage Of these provisions
they may. But when Catholics pre-
fer Catholic education instead Of
the education provided by the
state and nation, then Catholics
likeothers must be prepared to
pay for it.
So in the final analysis it is
not the United States denying

ries and the specious distinctions
thereof. Personally, this writer
would throw no spasm if tomor-
rows coming would see a Cath
Ole world of religion; but Meth
er would he shudder if instead it
were a protestant world. Denomi-
nations do not make much differ
ence but the souls making up these
make a great difference. 1t is
true that the protestant branch
of christianity falls far short of
the ideals and practice of Jesus
Christ. But this is equally true of
Catholicism and so under the skin
protestants, Catholics and Jews,
are very much alike, in fact too
much alike to make sensible any
definite spiritual schisms among
lofty-inclined souls.
Mrs. Roosevelt was right in her
opposition to a%pportioning federal
funds to parochial schools or other
private institutions. There are bap-
fist schools and methodist schools
and schools of a hundred denomi-
nations and it would be just as un-
wise for the government to at
