Szymon Wiesenfeld, 81, was
cowhand in Poland. When he APP
piled to HAS, the Hebrew lmmi'
Grant Aid Society, to assist him
to come to the United States, he
expressed his concern over the
fact that his only living relative,
a cousin, lived in Brooklyn. How
was he going to be able to live
near him, and yet work at herd
ing cows? HAS solved the prob
lem by finding him a job on the
Cedar Lane Farm, Borough OF
Queens, New York City, one OF
the only two farms left within
the metropolitan limits. There he
will supervise the herding Of 90
cows on a farm that picks up just
where the subways end.

PLAIN TALK
BY Alfred Segal
JUST A STORY

was sitting with my friend
Leo Lucas at a table in Ike
Swaps restaurant in our town and
my mind was somewhat on what
to write about for the coming
week. When ones mind is on a
column to be written there can't
be a full enjoyment of the filet
nnignon that he has ordered.
I could envy the restauranteur,
Mr.. Sway, who when he gets an
order for filet mignon is able to
make good. A columnist has to
sweat before he can serve up a
satisfactory column.
He imagines he is some one
upon whom the whole public is
waiting for enlightenment and
he's got to make good. What will
Mr.. Zilch think if he's served
a column that he considers only
half-cooked? What will Mr.. Glutz
say if he gets a column that's too
hard to digest. and he having
high blood pressure.
AS I was waiting for the filet
mignon, Mr.. Lucas was waiting
for blintzes with sour cream .
Il have a story" Mr.. Lucas said
-. Good, 1 said, tell it while you
wait for blintzeS and I for filet
mignon! There's nothing like a
story to whet our appetites. Is it
a good one?"
Mr.. Lucas replied that it had
been well laughed at at our Rock
dale Temple when he told it. He
had been called on for some re-
marks at public discussion in
the temple on a recent Friday
evening and that was when he
told the story.
There was a certain great rabbi
in the old RusSit. He was such
a rabbi that audiences hung on
every word that came from his
lips. He wasn't like the modern
rabbis who like to play states
men and give advice on how the
world, with all its international
complications, should be run.
You'd think they were the for
eign ministers of governments,
the way they talk, and what's
Secretary Acheson doing in the
job he holds when Rabbi Humph-
rey Goldberg could do it much
better?
No! This great rabbi of the old
Russia concerned himself with
God and with ways by which
men could behave in accordance
with Gods will. He travelled far
and wide in his province giving
sermons on how men could wor-
thilY reconcile their way of iv-
ing with what God required of
them.
Everywhere he went he was
greeted like a spokesman for God
Himself. At the entrance of every
town he visited a delegation of
the people waited to welcome
him. There was everywhere a big
dinner for him and when dinner
was over the people asked him
questions about the matters that
troubled them.
He travelled around in droshkY
which is the Russian name for
horse and buggy. The horse loped
leisurelY along. The rabbi could
MT think of letting his driver
push the horse toward more speed.
The horse was a creature of God.

Yond his strength.

Historic Impact
OF Declaration
Was Startling

The right of oil men to "ffe.
liberty and the pursuit Of hop.
piness" is being endangered by
the deodwood thinking OF
many who consider the Dec
lorotion to be little more than
an idcoiistic cIiche. Yet, since
the turn Of this century, the
world hos fought two wars be-
cause its people wanted to be
free Of despots and outhontor-
ion governments. TrogicoIly,
the issue still is not resolved.
Some doy it moy be. But. os
the following editorial remarks
try to point out, thot doy will
not come until we all affirm
and reoffirm our faith in the
principles that motivoted the
creators OF the United States

MOST PEOPLE today consider
A'A the Declaration OF Indepen-
dence q historical move by which
this country set forth its vow for
independence. but lack the irnagi-
nation to understand that In the
year l776 it was q startling deciara-
ton. In fact, with the possible ex-
ception OF the Bible, and the Mag
ma Charta in 1918. 1t is one OF the
most astonishing documents ever
published by man.
Look at II from the viewpoint
that up until that time in recorded
history no group of men had gath
cred upon the face Of the earth and
declared they would rule them
selves. that they we're capable Of
ruling themselves. ,
Before that the ruling OF nation
was concentrated In the hands Of q
few men. The masses were not
capable Of ruling-that had been
the philosophy of governments
since the beginning of time.
Then. suddenly. group Of men
met In Philadelphia. In raw and
untried country. and issued a docu-
ment that bluntly avowed: people
have the right to overthrow the gov
ernment under which they live; they
have right to alter or abolish any
government that does not operate
for their good and happiness That
is a startling declaration.
Thus an experiment began that
succeeded and grew. Succeeded SO
well, in fact. that it came to be re-
garded as commonplace And today
the Declaration Of Independence is
thought Of by school children as q
musty document which many Of
them are forced TO memorize and
find boring to read. United States
citizens have accepted without res
ervation the idea that all peoples
have right to overthrow. abolish
and alter any government under
which they live.
THE TIMES in which the men
: lived who wrote and signed the
Declaration were troubled times.
much as they are today. Men
throughout the world were demand
ing freedom Of action and. though:.
An Englishman. DR., Richard
Price, at the conclusion OF the Rev
olutionary War. wrote: Perhaps
] do not 80 too far when say that,
lnext to the introduction Of Christian
ity among mankind. the American
revolution may prove the most i'm
portant step In the progressive
course Of human improvement"
DR.. Price was correct. 1t was the
step that started the human race
on new trend Of thought-freedom
for all.
HND the time may be coming
- when the peoples Of all the world,
not just nation. will issue their
declaration OF Independence and
no nation will enslave another or
force its conception of government
On its neighbor. That. too. will be q
startling document.
John Adams. who helped COM
pose the Declaration said: 'The
Revolution was affected before the
wa. commenced. The Revolution
was in the hearts and minds Of tho
people"

l776-These American colonies

of America as Sc members Of

gress signed Declaration of
Independence without q dissenting

The vote came after long day
of bitter debate during which many

On last June 10, however. the
measure was back before the body
