QUESTION: Why do some Jew
ish sects hold weddings in the
open air?
ANSWER: From most descrip-
tions and explanations of this Gus
tom the principal factor in open
air weddings is that they are held
at night under the stars. This is
claimed to be a symbol of produc-
tivity which is the true aim OF any
marriage. It's origin is said to
have dated back to the days OF
Abraham, the first Jew. The Bible
says: "And he brought him

ISRAELIS SHOULD not be
called Jews, according to detailed
instructions on editing Jewish"
news recently sent to newspapers
and press associations by the
American Council for Judaism.
A letter, signed by Joseph D.
Kaufman, chairman of the Wash
ington Chapter of the Council, re-
veals a quiet campaign which has
been carried directly to the worlds
most important editors.
A good measure of success is in
dicated by note attached to the
letter, containing quotations from
responses received by Lessing ].
Rosenwald, national president of
the Council. According to the
note, cooperation has already been
pledged to Rosenwald by the heads
of the Associated Press, United
Press, National Broadcasting Com
pany, Reuters and the New York
Herald Tribune.
A writer for one of the national
press associations has commented
on the confusion created by the
Councils propaganda. He said
that it is his opinion that his chief
probably thought that the Coun-
cil's letter was request from an
organization speaking officially for
American Jewry as a whole.
How to follow the Councils sug-
gestions and still convey the news
of Israel accurately was quite baf-
fling, he said.
MANY WASHINGTON news
men read the letter carefully, in
cluding a footnote defining the
aims of the Council. The foot
note reaffirms the Councils stand
''that no Jew or group of Jews
can speak for or represent all the
Jews of America"
The letter asked that newsmen
"be assured that we will be most
grateful for your cooperation in
this matter, which is of such
genuine concern to so many Amer
leans of the Jewish faith"
Asked for further definition, a
spokesman for the Washington
chapter said that the Council could
| not influence the statements of
Israeli diplomats but that it could
| and would attempt to influence the
press.
The Council letter, dated May
liz, warns that careless use of the
words Jews and Jewish to de-
scribe aspects of the sovereign
state of Israel can lead only to
confusion as to the relationship of
Americans of Jewish faiths visa
Wis that state and this, our own
country.
"THE FUNDAMENTAL dis
tinction involved here has been
called to the attention of the press
associations and other media, and
without exception they have recog-
| nized the validity of the point and
this understanding has been re-
vealed in the increasingly accurate
use of the terms in news reports,
although there still are occasional
and unfortunate lapses.
"a chief problem at this point,
however, is to make certain that
this confusion is avoided in stories
originating in Washington"
A supplementary guidance sheet
for the press, published by the
Council, says that "the term
Israeli properly describes the peo-
pie, citizens, and institutions of the
state of Israel. Accordingly, an
Israeli may be a Jew by religion,
but he may equally be a Moslem,
Christian, agnostic or atheist.

Thick Ice on Window.
Question: We are troubled with
condensation on our bedroom
window. At times we have ice an
inch thick on the south window
even though we do not have the
register open In the room. and
have the bedroom window TO the
east open about a foot high. Is
there any way Of overcoming
this?
Most of the time the window
is so wet it drips and makes the
window sill ull-looking. We dc
not have a storm window on the
south window. We have the same
trouble with the south windows
In our living room. The four win
dows to the west have storm win
dows and they do not become wet
at any time.
We do not like to have storm
windows all around the house
that is. why we have none on the

problem is to put up storm win

I haven't noticed it since. and
as 1t Is very humid here in the
summertime I thought this might
be a natural condition. since it is
a ranchhouse and built very low.
Would a mildew-proof1ng prep
aration be suitable to paint on
vanished hardwood floors. or do
you have any other solution TO
this problem? No doubt the con-
dition will recur when the warmer
weather sets in.
Answer: The mildew- -proofing
preparation (Which is sprayed on
not paintedD would undoubtedly
help, but it would not stop the
dainpness which is causing the
mildew. AS you say your house is
built close to the ground, 1t may
be that there is no finished floor
in the cellar space-only earth.
II that Is the case. this is the
reason for the dampness and
musty odor. If there is space
enough for q man to crawl under
the house, you could have the
underside of the flooring insulated
to keep the dampness from COM
ing through the floors.
First have the underside painted
on all surfaces with asphalt paint
or tar, then nail up a thick
blanket or bait type of moisture
proof insulation, stuffing 1t well
into the ends.

The Lote Marriage
Dear Mrs. Post: Would it be
improper for a couple in their late
sos to send marriage announce
ments? This Is the second time
for both.
Answer-Certainly they may
send such announcements, to all
who could have especial interest
in the event.
Service PIotes
Dear Mrs. Post: I've been asked
to set formal table for an ex-
hibition. With your book for guild
ance, went out to the local stores
to get service plates. They said
they had none. Another thing:
Your book definitely shows a nap
kin on each service plate. I've
been told by several others that
when the service plate is very
beautiful, napkins should be put
at the side of the plate instead Of
on it. Is this correct?
Answer-A service plate is
merely a plate with which each
place is set. Hence, place plate
lis the more accurate term. It can
be any plate that YOU think be-
coming to your table. If you are
following correct formal precepts,
then the napkin belongs on this
plate, always. AS the napkin is
lifted off. one could hardly avoid
seeing the plate.
Sons Graduation
Dear Mrs. Post: Please tell me
what to wear to my sons gradua-
ton at x University? It will be
in the evening. I have to travel
a distance and expense is a con-
sideration.
Answer-An afternoon dress
would be safest-in fact, couldn't t
be wrong. Add q small hat If the
exercises are in church.
