QlIIoronC. HID hOAD 10 GOlNG
SOMEWHERE"
This moving statement is fit
ting motto for the state of Israel
on it's second birthday.
A long, dark road the Jewish
people have travelled. But since
May, 1948, they have had desti-
nation. Their road is now sure be-
fore them.
THIS is ISRAEL AT TWO. i.
The 100000 Jews living in Is
rael today represent the majority
of the population. An average of
$4,000 newcomers enter the coun-
try each month and refill the i'm
migrant camps as fast as they are
emptied.
Soon the DIP camps of Europe
will be closed. Even the 1000
bedridden, chronically ill Jews,
some of them incurables who have
been hospitalized ever since We
day-even they will be gone. No
country in the world would give
them entry. But the two-year-old
Jewish state has opened her doors
and her heart to them and to their
dependents.
Many of them have already ar
rived in Israel.
To make the dead to live again
to lay "sinews upon the dry
bones," as Ezekiel once prophesied
this is indeed God-given task.
Our money, and the hard work
and sacrifice of the. Israelis, will
together achieve the blessed goal.
81 HAVE NEVER seen a people
so burdened with problems, and
yet so confident of the future, +"
said U. S. Federal Security Ad-
ministrator Oscar Ewing concern
ing the people of Israel.
And their faith has truly moved
mountains. Despite war and immi-
grafton, they have made forward
The Phoenix Jewish news., 1950-04-14

strides which are astounding.
They now have 353 agricultural
settlements, lit of which have
been founded since independence
Day. They hope to establish an
other $50 before the end of the
year, with the aim of settling 20
per cent of the population of the
land.
Industrial progress is equally
steady and hopeful. New enter
prises are being set up by both
American and Israel investors.
A new textile plant, to employ
24O workers, is planned by an
American corporation. The Gen
eral Tire and Rubber Co. of Is
rael, to be set up by the Akron
firm of the same name, will pro-
duce tires, tubes and allied prod
ucts, and will employ over 800
workers. A $25O,OOO knitting plant
will soon open in Kfar Saba, be-
tween Tel Aviv and Haifa. Henry
Kaiser's wire to Finance Minister
Eliezer Kaplan early in March,
saying, "It is an exciting privilege
to participate in the economic de-
velopment of your new nation" :"
concluded negotiations for the es-
tablishment of "Kaiser-Frazer of
Israel, Ltd" The auto company
will be located in Haifa, and will
begin production in August. At
least 800 workers will be hired,
to produce 5000 cars annually.

THERE is A positive, forward
looking quality to these vital facts
and figures, and optimism easily
takes hold of one. The Israelis
have made such a remarkable be-
ginning!

faced the sad truth that each OF
us is a bundle of prejudices and
that, in Jew and Gentle alike,
prejudice is a force in our atti-
tudes toward things, ideas, organ
izations and each other.
Keeping in mind that adverse
attitudes and prejudices are ever
present within and outside the
Jewish community, can we postu-
late a definition of a "good Jew
ish community?
In Jewish social work terms, a
good Jewish community is one in
which Jews will work together for
a common goal, will respect each
other and will discipline them
selves for the common good.
Through long years of trial and
error, research, experience and
training, students of Jewish COM
munity organization have set forth
activities in Jewish communities
that represent possibilities for the
preservation and enrichment of
Jewish life and which at the same
time help Jews to achieve realiza-
tions of common goals, mutual re-
spect and self-discipline. These ac-
The Phoenix Jewish news., 1950-04-14
Root of the Matter

tivities are:
1. Jewish education pro-
grams.
2. Leisure time and cultural
programs.
3. Social service programs.
a. Programs to coordinate
organizational activities.
S. Defense of Jewish rights
and the strengthening of Ameri-
can democracy for all people.
6. Fund-raising programs for
Jewish philanthropy.
Covering all of these activities
and permeating the lives of each
of US must be the synagogue, for
without the synagogue everything
else has little value. 1t is to be
hoped that in time the members
of the Phoenix Jewish community,
and more especially the member
ship of the Phoenix Jewish Com
munity Council, will share trese
views.

OUR SISTER city of Tucson
enjoys the distinction of having
passed US by in it's welfare fund
campaign as well as in it's Jewish
center development. With a budget
for local activities similar to our
own, with UJA responsibilities
much like ours, with just as many
fiercely partisan Jews as we have,
Tucson has passed it's 1949 goal
and is on the way toward realiza-
tion of the 1850 welfare fund
goal. We will be fortunate to raise
what we raised last year. They
have already exceeded that mark.
Jewish leaders in Tucson ac-
cepted responsibilities for the cam
paign by providing campaign
chairman and a women's division
chairman. Here in Phoenix we
have done without. Are we SO
much poorer than Tucson in lead
ership and wealth?

The World OUeT

And yet, there is cause for con-
cern-grave concern.
American Jewry is tickle. 1t
flirted openly with Israel in the
first flush of excitement, two long
years ago. But today we are grown
cold. We pause and reflect, we
wonder if we were over-enthusias-
tic to send her large sums of
money.
Meanwhile, 10000 fellow Jews
languish in immigrant camps, and
their compatriots try desperately
to feed and clothe them, and edu-
cate them to new way of life.
Yet in the face of this emergency,
half their entire budget must go
toward self-defense, since the sur
rounding Arab states, well-armed
and encouraged to fight, threaten
another invasion.
1t is a superhuman task, task
for dedicated people-those in Is
rael and these in America.
Our Christian neighbors are
The Phoenix Jewish news., 1950-04-14

willing to help. Such political foes
as Eleanor Roosevelt and Sen.
Robert Taft are joining hands to
urge the Christians of America to
give to the United Jewish Appeal.
The response has been generous.
Only we Jews, who know most

Enthusiastically we have hardened

where.

an inquiry into the States in
stitutions of Higher learning.
In adopting a House resolution
for the VALC to make the study,
the General Assembly which ad--
journed Saturday rejected an
other proposal which would have
turned the whole matter over to
a special commission named by
the Governor.
Asked by Tax Commission.
Such study was recommended
by the State Tax Study Commits
sion, which found it could not
cope with such an inquiry, itself.
The tax commission, however,
suggested that the whole matter
be turned over to another COM
mission.
Other Studies Assigned.
Along with the study of institu-
tions of higher learning, the
VALC was assigned the following
studies by the 1850 Legislature:
Student loan policies; admins
,trative agencies and their rule
making powers; whether there
should be a change in urinary
election dates; the Virginia Re-
tirement Act; claims against the
State in cases in which claimants
have no normal recourse at law.
9 Commissions Created. !
Modernizing the land grant
statutes; establishment of an al
ternate airport for Washington
in Fairfax County; laws relating
to withdrawal of counties from
the secondary highway system;
laws relating to sales of livestock
including conduct of livestock,
auctions: county ordinances
which parallel State traffic laws
Nine special study commissions
were created by the Assembly to
make the following inquiries:
suitable Virginia history text;
sex laws and sex crimes. taxation
of natural resources such as tim
ber; foundation program of
public education; a Joint study
of seafood resources with Mary
