event of April.
This week has been an odd one
for me. I have had some extra
time, and I am going to use it
to do one of those columns I like
to do on women who refuse to
take chairmanships or presi-
denotes but who have had a great
deal to do with shaping the Jew
ish life of our community.
Such a person is Eta Baker,
wife of Marx Baker, who has not
been seen around lately, but in
the past years has done more
behind the scenes work than any
woman in Jacksonville.
In Senior Hadassah, the Center
Sisterhood and in the Community
Council, both the men and Wo-
mems division, Eta Baker has
been a power behind the throne.
I am sure that she has had in
fluence on almost every other
organization in the city through
her close friendships with people
even though she did not serve
on any committee or as an adj
visory capacity.
1 do not think Eta will like
being called a power" and truly
it is a misnomer where she is
concerned. If ever there was a
person who would like to be kept
out of the drivers seat that per-
son is Mrs. Baker. Yet, coming
from an old Jacksonville family
whose name is on the cornerstone
of the now defunct synagogue on
Duval street, and having an in
nate knowledge of organization
work Eta has felt her response
bility and has shown it by being a
guide and mentor to the many
men and women who have taken
leadership of Jewish groups.
Certainly when one meets her
the word power" would never
present itself in connection with
her. She is gentle and soft spoken.
She has definite opinions but is
not opinionated. Eta is tender
hearted and warm. She has con-
fidence in her own abilities and
cannot understand why she is
constantly looked upon as an adj
visor.
Perhaps she does not know that
she has the rare gift of telling
people the truth without it hurt
ing and of paying a compliment
and sincerely meaning it. She
has that rare personality which
sparkles and still remains sub
dued.
Eta is due her retirement from
organizational life. She has giver
many years of service to the COM
munity, but as one who has the
pleasure of working with her
cannot honestly say it i:
''dayenu." She is needed in Jack
sonville and when she again de-
cides that she is well enough tt
take a hand in the affairs Of
Judaism she will be welcomed
by the many who love her.

self written the chapter for me-
Last week Seward Fleet was
recognized by his community as
the "Man of the Year" and the
good people of Live Oak paid
the tribute to a son of the out
standing family. The fact that a
Jew was given this honor at a
time when anti-semitism in small
towns is supposed to be so vicious
is a heartwarming sign and is a
commentary on the place the
Jewish people have played in the
role of builders of Florida.
Seward is the youngest of the
four sons of the late Jacob and
Sarah Fleet of Jacksonville. He
has followed his brothers in the
department store business in the
smaller towns of Florida. There
they built progressive businesses
which brought modern methods
of merchandising and lower
prices to the farmer and the
townspeople. Not only did they
bring new ways of doing things
to the business world but they
also entered into the civic, Gull
tural and religious activities of
their communities and are repect-
ed as thinkers and leaders.
I had occasion to meet Reba
Segal of Haines City, Florida, at
the Southeastern Conference of
Hadassah in Savannah several
weeks ago. Reba (Mrs. Sam is
the youngest of two Fleet daugh-
tiers and she thoroughly capti-
waited the Conference delegates,
both by her charm and ready
mind and by her fervor for Juda-
ism which has recently displayed
itself in Hadassah work. In
Haines City she is, as is her hus-
band, leader in the non-Jewish
community. In the Fleet line the
female is as lively as the male.
During my last visit to the
River Garden Home I have
noticed that the elevator to the
second floor will soon be ready
for use. The Home now has forty
residents coming from all points
South.
Congratulations and best wishes
to Abe Fraden and Ruth Naron of
Brockton, Mass, who are telling
everyone they are engaged. Ruth

Sanity Code Revision
Lined Up by NCAA
ct-Finding Board
BY the Associotsd Press

CHICAGO, April 7. - The
NCAA's embattled sanity code ap.
peared geared for revision today
after a successful fact-findine
meeting of the Nations athletic
chiefs.
Officials Of 20 conferences ac-
complished IN two days more than
it would normally take two months
to do by going through channels
In brushing aside the usual red
tape. six proposals for amending
the code were drafted. They were
kept secret. NCAA President Hugh
C. Willett of the University OF
Southern California said they
ranged from "absolutely no change
up to considerable additional aid
for worthy athletes"
The proposals. he said, pointed
toward these common aims: l.
That athletes getting aid must be
academically worthy both in COL
lege and entrance and progress
towards degree requirements; Q
There must be positive and def
mite evidence aid recipients need
assistance (no "across-the-boards-
grantsD; 3-All such aids must
be administered by regular cam
pus agencies.
The proposals, undoubtedly in
eluding the South's suggestion for
free board and room to the needy.
now will be funnelled to a screen
ing committee. From there they
go to the NCAA's policy-making
council in August and on to the
NCAA's annual convention in
Dallas next January.
There was every indication the
round-table discussions which &C
tivated the Byrd resolution passed
in New York last January calling
for a survey Of athletic practices,
were harmonious, but still debate
filled.
Willett disclosed that some
schools insisted there was no re-
sponsibility" on methods used in
handing off-campus jobs to ath-
letes. Others conceded there were
some rather generous grants to
athletes" And still more believed
that athletes simply lacked the
necessary free time to handle jobs
for their upkeep.
