PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS

Editor Gerhardt Neumann has
invited me into recent staff
meeting of his paper, the Detroit
Jewish Chronicle, and asks me to
speak on this, that and a lot of
other things which were discuss
ed at the meeting.
They were all about the matter
of being Jewish and Jewish ed
ucation with special mention of
Jewish parochial schools which
recently have appeared in var
ious cities. Every morning on the
way to work I pass the Jewish
parochial school in our town. 1t
stands almost midway between
the two public schools in our
community. I heard it has good
teachers who teach reading, writ
ing and arithmetic but Jewish ed
ucation is fundamental there. Its
Judaism is orthodox.
A Symptom
I myself look at the school with
mixed feeling symtomatic of
the Jewish confusion of our times.
There was a time when the idea
of a parochial school was alien to
all Jews in the U. S. In that time
we all felt sure of the perfect
processes of the melting pot, as
it was called.
After public school hours we
attended the Hebrew school
around the corner. Our parents
were thankful that the kids could
be brought up as good Americans
and good Jews at the same time
: in this way.
So, in our town, the Jewish COM
munity flourished and brought up
its children right for more than
100 years in the public and He
brew schools. It was a fine Jewry.
What is the reason for the Jewish
parochial school rising up after
these 100 years?
The Arizona post., 1950-04-07

We will teach them all they could
get in the public schools and
keep them Jewish besides. The in
sidious hostility that is all around
will not touch them. They can
grow up to be proud Jews, hold
ing their heads high as people
who know the Jewish history;
people who remain mindful that
they came all the way from Sinai.
A Danger
I respect their views, even
though l do not share their fears.
1 hope they will not be self-iso-
lated-people who in their child
hood were kept apart from the
common life n tn e parochial
school and in their manhood stay
part, aliens to their non-Jewish
neighbors.
Personally, I prefer that my
grandchildren shall be allowed to
grow up in the wide American
scene of the public schools and
be part of the scene afterward.
For their souls good they must
have a sense of belonging and
being part Of the democratic
brotherhood.

PLAIN TALK
Insecurity?
By Alfred Segal

I do not quarrel with it, though
l deplore the cause that gave it
being. To my mind it springs from
a new feeling of insecurity among
Jews. The non-Jewish neighbors
don't look as friendly as they used
to be long ago.
Yes, they say, let us sequester
our children in this schoolhouse
beside the road, far back on this
spacious lawn. Their Judaism will
stand safe here toward the future.

Der allowed to leave would have
been greater than 5000 but the

in their figures 10000 Jews who
left the country earlier without
official permission.

COFFEE MAKER OR
PERC0LATOR2

NJ matter what your preference
In coffee may be there II an appli.
ance that will give you coffee to
suit your taste. There are two ap-
pliances to help you with your cof-
fee making - the percolator and
the vacuum coffeemaker.
The coffee maker is another au-
tomato appliance that produces
coffee just the way you like IL
everytime. Once you find out the
amount of coffee to use to make
coffee that. is good according to
your family, then each time, by
using the same proportions, you
will serve coffee brewed exactly as
you want it. The water is heated
to the same temperature each time
and brewing time is the same
controlled automatically, which
eliminates failures due to guess
work.
One Of the incest features is
that the coffee maker keeps the
coffee hot until you are ready to
serve IT. You never waste coffee
by having to pour it out because
1t was not served right away. Nor
are you tempted to serve left over
coffee. Coffee is good as long as It
is kept hot, but when It cools and
is reheated then 1t Ia considered to
be left over coffee.
Some new coffee makers are
coated with . finish that needs 10
be removed before using. To do
this use tbsp. soda in water and
proceed as though you are making
coffee.
The other member of this team
the percolator-does equally as
good job. The new percolators
have automatic controls so YOU
won't have to watch the timing
each time coffee is made.
How many of you have been de-
layed In serving meal when you
were preparing several dishes.
possibly for company-and ali be.
cause you did not have room for
the coffee on the range? Did Won
know that this difficulty can be
remedied by the use of one Of these
appliances? AS both appliances
have their own heating element
you can plug them into any con-
venience outlet.
sThe fact that these are portable
makes after dinner coffee serving
easier. 1t is SO convenient for
b.tdge clubs. parties and such.
Both the coffee maker and perco-
lator are so attractive that Won
will not mind pouring the coffee
right In your living room.
The legs have been 80 construct
ed as to prevent scratching or
marring your finest furniture. The
bases are insulated to protect the
table top.

s,stently brews good coffee. is at

Do You Want To Cut
Your Federal Taxes?


You know that you can't keep
drawing money out Of your bank
account without ever putting any
in. The bank doesn't play that way.
This is also true Of Federal financ-
ing. Every dollar spent must
sooner or later be collected In the
form of taxes.
Many Of these taxes are hidden,
such as the S2.44 you pay on a $50
radio, or the 62 cents on the
average alarm clock. These are in
addition to the direct taxes of
which the average citizen Is pain
fully aware.
Tax money is necessary to run
our government. But all too much
of it is wasted by inefficiency, dup
LEGATION of effort, overlapping of
Federal agencies or appropriations
for services to pressure groups.
Heretofore, no one has known
how much these government SER
vices cost us through waste and
inefiiciency. But some surprising
facts have been revealed by the
Commission on the Organization Of
the Executive Branch Of the Gov
eminent. This twelve-man, BIZ
partisan Commission was created
by Congress with the approval Of
the President. At the suggestion
Of Mr.. Truman, former President
Hoover was made it, Chairman.
The Army, Navy, and Air Force
asked for $50 billions Of appropria-
tions after being told that SIS bill
lions was all the Nation could
afford. The Army applied for S29,-
600 tropical uniforms At 1929 apiece
and homes for military personnel
in Alaska at $4,000 apiece. Yet
every dollar spent in such activities
comes out Of your pocket in the
form Of taxes.
Fifty Federal agencies jostle
each other collecting statistics at an
annual cost to you, the taxpayer,
Of $43,000,000. Many Of the statis-
tics are Of use only to small groups,
or collect dust in government files.
The Corps Of Army Engineers
and the Bureau Of Reclamation are
expert at selling the something
for nothing" idea to the American
public. characterization of costs
appears to be their speciality. The
original price tag put on the
Colorado-Big Thomson project was
$44 millions. Its final cost was
1871, 100000. Such discrepancies,
the Commission wryly notes, "hard-
ly can be explained by increases
in labor and material costs"
You may obtain information
about how you can fight waste and
inehiciency in our government by
writing to the Citizens Committee
for Reorganization Of the Execu-
tive Branch Of the Government,
1921 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia
2, Penna. Also write your Con-
gresham! Tell him you want laws
enacted which will put into effect
the suReestions Of the Commission!
