TEA TIPS

The taste, or flavor of tea is
what counts with most ardent tea
drinkers. 1t has no food values
except those added to it by sugar,
and milk or lemon. The impor-
lance Of tea lies in its pickup"

Many things influence the taste
~ tea-the kind Of tea used, the
length Of time it is brewed and
whether hard or soft water is
used
The three main kinds of tea
are the green or unfermented,
the oblong or semi-fermented and
the black or fermented tea, all
three can bel made from the
leaves of the same tree.
After tea leaves are gathered
there are four main steps in pro-

drying or whitening, rolling, fer
menting and firing. After these
steps are taken the tea is ready
to be packed for shipment.
Orange pekoe, contrary to popu-
lar belief, does not refer to Ell
ther the variety or the place
where the tea is grown, it refers
merely to the size of the leaf, and
gives no indication as to quality.
Pekoe and orange pekoe are
black teas made from the first
and second leaves of the tea
shoot. The larger leaves are pekoe
and the smaller are orange pekoe.

After deciding that her Gus

the best, Mrs. Bissell went to
New York to study hairdressing
under Charles Nestle, who in

says that from that time to this
she has studied every new wav-

of the business.

doesn't look it. With her shin

like a living advertisement of
the beauty shop business. What's
almost as good is that she still
works long hours without ever
getting tired.
When asked how she managed
to stay so young, Mrs. Bissell

HONG KONG, Mar. 17.-The

thousands of farm families and
soldiers in their attempt to con-
solidate their power in vast area
Of Central Asia more than four

Information reaching here in
dicates that the new Peiping gov
ernment is seeking to strengthen
the position of the Chinese mi

stan. Reports also suggest that
the Sino-Communists are trying
to orient the far northwestern
provinces toward Peiping rather
than Moscow.
The Sino-Red armies last au-
tumn completed the conquest of
kansu, Chianghai, Ninghsia and
Sinkiang provinces making q
Communist Central Asian power
and placing their troops on the
borders of Afghanistan, Pakis-
tan and India. The possibility
then existed that Nationalist COL
lapse would open the way for the

ports now indicate increased Rus
sian activity in the area but main
ly as an adjunct to Sino- o-Commu-

Drive IS
On Here

Both of Phoenix Zionist
organizations the Phoenix
district and the Arizona
Brandeis district wer e
pushing nerg e t i C cam
paigns this week to raise
funds for purchase of trac-
tors to be used on Israeli
farms.
The Brandeis group set its goal
at $4,000, which is $4,000 more
than was requested by the region
al Z.O.A. In conjunction with the
fund solicitation, the unit was
conducting a drawing for new
television set.
Co-chairmen of the Phoenix
districts drive are Philip Fried
lander and DR.. David Paul, with
Jacob Oseransky and Harry Brew
erman assisting. Heading the
Brandeis drive are Jerry Klein,
new president of the chapter, and
DR.. J. Reichert, honory president.
First Line of Defense
"The influx of refugees in the
salvaging of 'old country Jewry'
is indicative of the dire need for
the success of this effort" said
Friedlander and Doctor Paul.
Tractors that till the soil and
encourage the good earth to sus-
tain a people are logically a first
line of defense, especially so with
the military unrest in the world
today"
Meanwhile, the Brandeis chap
ter responded within "a hours to
a telegraphed request for funds
from national Z.O.A. headquart-
ers. Brandeis members raised $500
and forwarded it to New York.
Members Sought
Doctor Reichert, who made the
financial arrangements, urged all
sympathizers to renew their MEM
berships in Z.O.A. or become
members at once and make their
contributions to the tractor drive.
Another Ii o n S development
was the receipt by Brandeis Mem

ter from Carl Alpert, director of

lauding his radio talks on I. V.

Israel
Priority
Asked

TEL AVN, (JTA)-The
tendency of Jews in the
United States and other
countries to give priority to
their own institutions over
institutions functioning in
Israel when allocating funds
raised in local Jewish COM
munities was criticized here
by Berl Locker, chairman of
the Jewish Agency execu-
tive.
Speaking at the national con-
ference of the Mapai, Israel Labor
Party, he pointed out that such
priority is not justified when
thousands of Jewish immigrants
in Israel are still condemned to
live in tents and when many more
thousands are confronted with the
Gloss of their very existence in
certain countries" where they pre-
sently reside.
Locker said world Jewry is not
yet conscious of the fact that it
must contribute everything in its
power to help Israel absorb the
maximum number of immigrants.
This despite the huge contribu-
tions which are being made by the
Jews of the United States, he
stressed.
Each Jew Responsible
He urged the Israel Labor
Party to convey to world Jewry
the paramount necessity of large
scale absorption of immigrants in
Israel on the principle that each
Jew is individually responsible
for facilitating this work"
The Jewish Agency chairman
asserted that Zionism's aims were
not realized with the birth of the
state of Israel, which he describ-
ed as only a decisive step in
the implementation of the Zionist
mission"
