lust Between
Ourselves
w. ~ W. O
BY Philip n. Love

Every year I come back from
vacation wondering why I went
away. Not that vacations aren't
fun; but, like everything else in
this world, they have their price.
and I sometimes wonder If they
are worth it.
First, there is the planning and
arranging. then the shopping and,
finally, the packing. The planning
and arranging always develop
flaws, however; the shopping al
ways turns out to have been in
complete, and the packing always
fails to include something of i'm
portance.
When finally you reach the
place where you are going to
spend your vacation, you have the
headache of packing in reverse
namely, unpacking. And that Is
when you discover that you forgot
to bring your camera, bathing
toys. mosquito lotion, or maybe
even a clean shirt to wear to
church Sunday.

At vacations end you go
through the same rigamarole all
over again. And no matter how
carefully you have packed, you
ind, when you get home. that you
left something behind your
toothbrush, comb, fountain pen,
or maybe even the new shirt you
bought to wear to church.
You find your house cold and
damp from being closed so long.

Mountains, in the State of Spotsyl
never thinking of what lay ahead.
Our heavy belongings were be-
ing carried by truck, so we had not
a care in the world as we started
an Smile hike to a small town by
che name of LackawaXen, which
boosted the only railroad station
in the vicinity, a general store, a
post Office and five houses. The
trek was uneventful, although a
slight bit firing. When we happy
boys reached our site, we were at
first inclined to rest our weary feet,
but we soon found out that that is
almost prohibited on hike. After
bringing in flrewood. settling our
packs and taking care of other
odds and ends, we took a dip in
the Lackawaxen River. The sup
per was ultradelicious, even
though the cooks at camp had
forgotten any cooking utensils.
The general store had furnished
us ice cream, and when the camp
site was cleaned up, we were ready
to hit the sack" remembering
that We had to hike back the fol-
lowing day. We were tired. and
sleep was soon upon us. AS the
fire burned low. we must have
looked very peaceful, indeed.
But. alas! Don't count your
chickens before they're Matched.
A few precious minutes after mid
night, the first few warning drops
fell through the tall pines on our
sleeping bags. Then a few more
drops. Then more, and a little
harder. Yes. rain, the ruiner Of
fun, was indeed upon us. We
stretched our ponchos over our
belongings, and built up the fire.
Since sleep was next to impossible,
we sat around the fire and talked.
More than once did thoughts of
camp beds return to our minds.
BY 12::45 we were beginning to
see that the rain was there to stay,
and the pines did nothing to help
stop it. Gone were the smiles.
Gone were the high spirits and
happy faces. Instead, there were
drenched sleeping bags, soaking
sweat shirts, soggy shoes. and a
smoldering fire. At l o'clock, we
held a quick, but straight to- the
point meeting around the camp
fire. We unanimously elected one
of the counselors to run up the
road and try to find a telephone.
When he left on his mercy mis-
SION" we took wet flashlights and
started getting our belongings to-
gether into 10 soggy masses.
Piling them under a poncho, we
took one last look at the place that
the Weather Bureau said would
give us fun. Then. we slowly and
solemnly started pushing. pulling.
Juggling the bundles and packs up
the steep wet trail through the
woods to a muddy road, where we
stood shivering. and waiting for
the CLEAN of light that would tell
us the station wagon was coming
At quarter of 2 it arrived. At the
wheel was the camp director him
self.
The big station wagon rumbled
to a stop in front of two cabins
close together. Ten weary people
filed out with their soaking packs
and tiptoed into the buildings.
Ten weary people lost no time in
getting into 10 dry beds. And in
the minds of 10 weary people the
same thought raced by: Never
again. That was once in a life
time"

You Can Make Lamp
And Mirror for Use
In EMERGENCIES

A lamp which will give satisfac-
tory light in case of emergencies
may be made from any small tin
can with a cover. such as a baking
powder can. or even from an ink
bottle or other small corked bottle.
Punch a hole trough the cover
about one third of an inch in
diameter. If you use bottle. you
can bore a hole through the cork,
and slip into it small cylinder
rolled from strip of tin to keep
the cork from burning.
Make a wick by rolling up a
length of any kind of porous cloth,
such as a piece of bandage or flour
sack. Pull this wick through the
hole, leaving about half an inch
protruding above. Fill the lamp
about half full of fuel. Kerosene
gives the best light, of course, but
If you haven't got that, you can
use melted lard, bacon grease or
any kind of melted fat. Such a
lamp will burn an hour or two at
each filling.
Sometimes. when out at camp or
on a hike, you may need a mir
ror when none is at hand. When
something gets into your eye, or
you want to examine a cut or
insect bite on your face, mirror
Is almost necessity. In such cir
cumstances, you can make an
emergency mirror very quickly if
you can find a piece of plain glass.
BY holding the glass over the
flame of candle or piece of burn
ing newspaper. blacken one side of
the glass thoroughly Now by turn
ing the glass over and looking into
the unblackened side, you can see
a good clear image of yourself.
This mirror gives the best results
If you will stand facing the sun so
that your face is brightly lighted.

Dancing Creatures
Prize Contribution
By Joon WheotIey, II


By Joon WheotIey, II
Anocostia High School
One night sat down by the fire;
The room was all aglow.
I imagined seeing little creatures
Dancing to and fro.
They moved so swiftly and 80
lightly
AS they danced around the
room.
You can imagine my surprise
When they picked up the broom.
They swept my floor and carpet
spotless.
And cleaned my dishes, too.
But then 7 noticed, to my sorrow,
The many became few.
Then they prepared to leave,
And soon did disappear.
I don't think they will ever come
back.
No, never again. I fear.

Bitterly attacking British mil

Government with endangering

negotiations between Israel and
the Arab states, Eban said: "It
has been made abundantly plain
to me in conferences in Wash

assistance of the United States
Government and people is not
available for any project which
threatens the existence of Israel"
The Israeli representative en-
phaSized that eat the first avail
able opportunity my government
must request the attention of the
Security Council to the fact that
the Government of the United
Kingdom is repudiating its OBJ
legations under the truce. He
stressed that all the energy and
effort of the Israeli Government,
at the moment, are being con-
centrated on the successful con-
cluSion of the armistice negotia-
tons.
He expressed the hope that the
attitude of the U S. Government,
and of other members of the
Security Council, will discourage
any development of renewal of
the British threat to Israel. Is
rael will continue to do every
thing in its power to diminish
the tension and advance the
cause of peace, Eban said. He
emphasized that here "to our
real preference, which is for
peace" He added that "the
peace must be founded on the
true territorial and political in

must assure to Israel and it's

national freedom and a place in
the community of nations.

January 18th, 1949
Dear Friend:
It gives me great pleasure to
invite you to attend the Third
Annual Meeting of the Joint Dis
tribution Committee South East
Region on Sunday, February 8,
1890 PM, Roosevelt Hotel,
Jacksonville, Florida.
Speakers will include Edo0Grd
M. Warburg, Chairman of the
JDC, who has recently returned
from Europe where he attended
the International Conference on
Jewish Relief and Rehabilitation.
He will discuss the role JDC is
playing in Transporting Jews
from the DIP camps to Israel, as
well as current developments in
aiding those who will remain in
Europe. The second speaker, DR..
Isador Lubin, economist and
former advisor to Franklin D.
Roosevelt, will present an auth
oritative report based on per-
sonal observation of JDC efforts
for economic reconstruction of
Europe's Jews.
The period that has passed
since our last Regional Meeting
has witnessed a heartening
change in the situation overseas.
The fight for survival, already
won in many areas, has given
way to the struggle for recon-
struction in Europe and resettle-
ment in Israel, the United States
and other countries. In the year
ahead JDC is confronted with
the great tasks of ensuring, not
only that the progress of the past
continues with accelerated mo-
mentum, but also that those emf
grating from Europe are prepared
to take up useful lives in their
new homes.
It is only through the full
participation of responsible Jew
ish leadership everywhere that
we can successfully undertake
our great work in the coming
year. May I urge you to attend
this meeting and to extend this
invitation to your family and
friends. The meeting will start
with luncheon at 1890 PM.
There will be no solicitation of
funds.
I hope you will make every
effort to be with us and I look
forward to the pleasure of greet
ing you at this meeting.
Sincerely yours,
