Forty one year old Meyer
Schwartz, his second family
and a new group of friends sat
down yesterday to their first
Thanksgiving turkey.
The group of about 10 families,
all Displaced Persons who will
make their new homes in Wash
| ington, were guests of the Wash
ington Section, National Council
of Jewish Women, at Thanksgiv-
ling dinner at the Beth Ell Syna-
gogue, 702 Jefferson street NV.
Representing all walks. of life,
some of the families came from
Germany. One came from Latvia,
another from Italy, another from
Yugoslavia. Most had not yet
learned to speak English. But
there was universal understand
ing as they sat down to the din
ner of mixed fruit, stuffed turkey,
candied sweet potatoes, peas,
cranberry sauce, lettuce and to-
mato salad, apple pie and tea.
Had Special Significance.
For Mr.. Schwartz, the dinner
as well as all American meals
had a special significance.
when I first came to this coun-
try" he explained. IT was all
mixed up. How was it possible to
have several kinds of food on the
table for the same meal?
when I was a little boy, we
children would get maybe one
piece of chocolate a year. Here, it
is nothing for children to have as
much every day. 1t is these things
we have every day we are thank
full for"
'We European refugees can
understand the way your Pilgrims
felt" he went on. "We see these
things differently than you peo-
pie. We know it can be different.
''Very Mixed Up"
II was very mixed up. If man
hasn't had enough bread, how Is
he to feel with chocolate every
day?"
Mr.. Schwartz was taken from
his home in CZechoslovakia to a
labor camp in 1910. He lost his
mother, his wife and his two
children. Then came imprison-
ment in four concentration camps
in Poland and Germany. Liberated
in 1945. he married a Hungarian
girl named Margit.
He reached New York with his |

In terms of residence, the
Schwartz family were the veterans
of yesterdays gathering.
The newest arrivals were Mr..
and Mrs. Eliash Weinkranz and
their four-year-old daughter.
Rachel, who have been in Wash
ington only nine days.
Mr.. Weinkranz, who speaks only
German, explained through an
interpreter that his family had
never heard Of Thanksgiving Day
before.
For his benefit, and as q re-
minder to the others. Rabbi M. H.
Levinson Of the Beth El Congrega-
ton told the story Of the Pilgrims
how they suffered on their ar
rival here, how they were thankful
the second year for their crops
and for their freedom to worship.
Speaking in Yiddish, Rabbi
Levinson then explained that the
term Jew is derived from the word,
Judah, which he defined as mean
ing thanks. And he asked them
to remember that, on all days of
the year, the Jew is thankful
even during adversity-for good
done him.
Arrangements for the annual
Thanksgiving observance were
made by Mrs. Joseph Dessof,
president of the Washington Sec
ton Of the council, and Mrs.
Harry Rod.s Invitations to. the
new Washingtonians were ex-
tended through the Jewish Social
Service Agency.

is often afraid that "all this can't

What I'm afraid Of" he said,
is how long it will keep this way.

Arlington Proposal
For Regional Survey
OF Sewers Indorsed

1 A proposal by the Arlington
County Board to study the posi-
bility of creating a regional water
and sewer authority was Endorsed
today by officials of the Northern
Virginia Regional Planning Com
mission.
! John w. Brookfield, chairman

Supply and Sanitation Committee,
said they would recommend the
commissions full support of the
study at meeting at 8 pm.
Thursday at the Fairfax Court
House.
fsBoth officials recalled that the
commission was the first to recon-
mend in 1949 that nearby Vir-
kinia communities look into re-
gion sewage disposal.
/; Mr.. Ellis said he was glad to
pee Arlington had decided to con-
slider a regional plan. He said
the commission has not had an
opportunity to consider what eff
feet recent sewer bond issue
referenda might have on regional
plans, but the Arlington Board
fhas asked that special considera-
Fion be given.
I'VE are still firmly convinced
that the ideal approach to sewage
disposal is on a regional basis, ''
isaid Mr.. Ellis.
! He said a number of possibili-
tties should be considered, includ-
ling pipeline under the Potomac
River to the District plant for
disposal of nearby Virginia sew
age and construction of several
disposal plants or of one big plant
in nearby Virginia.
Arlington proposes that the
study be made by a committee of
two members each from Arling-
ton, Alexandria, Falls Church and
Fairfax. Mr.. Ellis said that as
the study progresses 1T may, be
necessary to get engineering ad-
vice. He said the committee may
be able to get help from the State.
