The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1950-11-17

It should be remembered that
the first courtship of an 1Sraelite
in the Bible plainly describes the
fact that the groom's family sent
many valuable gifts to the bride
as was the case between Isaac
and Rebecca. 1t must also be re-
membered that Jacob had to
work fourteen long years for his
wives. AS matter of fact the
Talmud clearly states that HE
who takes a wife for the sake Of
money will have unworthy child
rem" (Talmud abli-Tractate Kid
dush 70a).
What is described through the
centuries is the exchange of gifts
between the groom and his bride
or between the family of the
groom and the family of the
bride. The ancient marriage con-
tract still used today (the Kesuba)
makes the husband responsible
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1950-11-17

QUESTION: Why is it an old
Jewish custom for the parents Of
the bride to give the groom a
sizeable dowry? IT. H.. Holly
wood. Fla.)
ANSWER: In answering this
question l feel compelled to dis
pei an erroneous belief that it is
obligatory in traditional Jewish
life for the bride to give the
groom a large dowry. This has
been used many times by unwit-
ting critics to point out the in
feriority of women in Jewish So
ciety. Indeed such is far from
being the case.
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1950-11-17

for the estate owned by the wife
before the marriage. Indeed such
is the common practice of most
families - both sides endowing
their children with gifts with
which to start off life together.
What may have happened at
times was that the groom was a
scholar who devoted all of his
time to study and whose parents
couldn't provide him with funds
for his marriage even though the
time was at hand. In such a case,
if the parents of the bride could
afford it, they endowed the couple
so that the groom could complete
his studies and yet not lose his
beloved. Indeed the financing of
college weddings by the respect
i've parents is widely encouraged
today. Even Uncle Sam keeps
couples on the campus while sup
porting them under the G. /.
Plan.
QUESTION:: What is the ETY.
mologY of the word "dowrY?"
: ANSWER: The word dowry is
usually associated with the word
dover which stems from a Latin
root (dos) which means to endow,
probably ito give" originally.
QUESTION: What is the deriv-
alton of the term Madam"
ANSWER: The term MADAM"
which means "dowry" does not
have an absolutely clear deriva-
ton. 1t comes from a verb mean
ing ito give" probably associated
with the Hebrew root "noson"
which means ito give" or the
word "nodov'' which means ito
give" or ito pledge"

Preparations for Atom Attack
Seen in Military Works Bill

An indication of the Importance
the Defense Department is plac-
ing on preparations to meet a
sudden atomic attack is contained
in the military public works bill
now before Congress.
Those termed top priority prof.
ects and due to be built with a
$500 million appropriation dur
ing the 1851 fiscal year included:
Army-Air Force: Security COM
munications facilities, $40 mil
lion; Alaskan housing, $100 mil
lion.
Army: Air defense program, SO
million.
Air Force: Air engineer devel-
opment center, Tullahoma, Tenn,
an additional SIS million; radar
network, $35 million.
Navy: New defense training
center to be set up at Dam Neck,
va, $18.693. 900.
All the projects, plus many
more, are also listed in $700 mil
lion military public works author
ization bill which is expected to
come up for approval before the
House Armed Services Commit
tee Friday. Additional funds will
be sought later for continuation
of construction of the top priority
projects.
The Air Force has disclosed
that it proposes to build three
ultra long radio listening
Evening star., 1950-03-22

posts to detect an enemy's battle
orders 1000 to 1000 miles away
The sites of these interceptor sta
tions was not given and air Of
f1cials later indicated that they
felt that too much information
was given even in the announce
ment that such construction was
planned. They will cost an esti-
mated $1,67O,0O0.
The Navy's Virginia air defense
training center will be its primary
installation of that type on the
East coast. The department de-
scribed it as "battleship on
land" because realistic training in
all phases of shipboard air de-
tense will be provided. In emer-
gency it would be a unit of the
radar network.

Pine Cones Find
Ready Market

BRUSH AND PINE cones make
up a good part of Frank G. Lock-
woods Missoula county Christmas
tree farming operation.
Lockwood has been in the tree
business in western Montana for IA
years and all that time he had been
looking for a summertime business
that would fit in with the Christ
mas tree program. Just last year he
started getting pine cones and for
est brush for wreath makers and
florists and soon found ready mar
ket.
He shipped out some 100000 pine
cones and $4,000 pounds of deer
brush last year. The cones sold for
about $40 thousand and the brush
for about % cents pound. Ship
ments were made to Pennsylvania,
Kentucky, Kansas and Ohio.
Lockwood's plant at Missoula in
cludes packing facilities and dipping
or gliding watts for treatment of the
cones. The old deer brush is cut, as
this holds up longer after cutting
than the new. growth. The branches
are packed in snow during the win
ter and are shipped out to florists
the year around.
Ponderosa pine cones are collect
ed early in June, as they get darker
when left on the ground. The large
white pine cones are collected in
August or September.

apples, plums of several varieties,
cherries, grapes, currants, goose
berries and strawberries. This gave
us variety of fresh fruits during
the summer as well as what was
canned for the winter use.
Yes, this last well is one of the

place. The convenience alone is
worth all the time, effort and money
involved as well as the value it has
added to the ranch.

And More Pork

My son-in-law has the water rum
ming through the corner of his pig
pen. The water is warm and the pigs
are gaining in weight rapidly. Pigs
are like any other animal: they like
clean water to drink and really grow
twice as fast as an animal that has
only the slop from the house. They
take less feed and it takes a shorter
time for the fattening period and
again the work problem is reduced
greatly, plus the sanitary conditions
being helped.
A short distance from the well,
there are two ponds. The smaller
pond has an area of one acre and
the larger one an area of about four
acres of which the deepest part is
approximately Is feet In this pond
we have planted black bass and blue
gills. 1t is something when we do
not have to think about the pond
going dry and losing the fish. These
fish were planted two years ago and

Better Production, Living
From Well Water
By ADoLpH BECKSTROA1, Petroleum County

I HAVE TWO artesian wells on
my ranch and can easily say that
they have each added $4,000 to the
value of my ranch.
For several years l had but the
one well, two miles from my ranch
buildings. During the winter, in the
very dry years, 1 had to drive my
cattle back. and forth to water them,
but because did have water, was
able to keep enough stock during the
very tough years to keep my family
going and start my herd again when
the going got little better.
In November of 1916 I drilled an
other artesian well at such a loca-
ton that it gives water to my cattle
for both the winter and summer pas
ture. 1t was drilled up on hill
north or the south. 1t is also central
ly located so that my son-in-law,
Arnold Olsen, and l can have the
necessary water supply for our
homes and outdoor buildings such
as barns, chicken houses, etc.
There is a flow of 35 gallons
minute and the water is warm wnen
it comes out of the ground. 1t will
flow for an eighth of a mile before
it starts to freeze. The water is
soft, with nc salt or minerals. This
well was drilled to depth of 1,474
feet and at a cost of $1,000.
More Wafer. More Beef
Last year our cattle came through
the winter better than they have
ever done before. The cows were
able to drink all the water they
wanted, at any time of the day. At
calving time they were strong and
fat and the calves were strong and
fat when born. The cows produced
a lot of milk and the calves were
given a good start, which means big
calves in the fall and, of course,
better prices for the better beef
The fire insurance on my ranch
buildings was cut in half, due to
the fact that I had water available,
so necessary for the protection OF
my buildings from that number one

Uncle Ruy's Corner

In another article, I spoke of
postal delivery i'm ancient times.
There was such delivery, but it was
chiefly for kings, public officers and
rich men. The everyday man" was
without any way to send letters un-
less he was willing to pay high fee
to messenger or could hand let
ter to a friend who happened to be
going to a certain place.
The first postal system for the
general public seems to have been
started in Europe. Four hundred
and thirty -four years ago, q service
was established for mail passing
between the cities of Berlin and
Vienna. BY modern standards,
that was slow service, but it
pointed the way to the future.
During the next two and a half
centuries, mail service for the gen.
eral public was started in several
parts of the world, including the
British colonies in North America.
While Benjamin Franklin was
postmaster for the colonies, he
made his headquarters in Phila-
delphia, but he travelled widely.
Among the places he visited was
the city of Montreal, and he
opened q post Office there. After
that, the Canadian postal system
grew slowly until the British gov
ernment let the provinces take di-
rect charge of their postal delivery.
After that, there were good steps IN
Canada's progress, and a still more
rapid advance came after the con-
federation of the provinces SO years
ago.
In the year of the confederation,
there were more than 5000 post
Offices in four Canadian provinces
Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick
and Nova Scotia
Meanwhile the railroad had
gained great importance in Canada,
as well as in the United States. An
example OF it's Importance may be
gained from this fact: before rail-
way mail service was started, letters
passing between the city OF Quebec
and Windsor, Ontario. took 10 and
a half days. Immediately after
ward, the average time was cut to
two days and one hour.
Canada was seven years ahead Of
the United States in adopting the
plan of having mail sorted on rail-
way cars. The idea seems to have
had its origin in Great Britain.
Today every up-to-date country has
travelling post Offices" on railways.
