QUESTION: Why is it consid-
cred wrong to sew a garment
while a person is wearing it on
his body? Il. B.. w. Palm Beach,
Fla.l
ANSWER: Two reasons are
generally advanced for this pro-
hibition. One is that such an act
is harmful to ones memory.
Others like to read into this rea-
son the fear that the person who
is wearing the garment may for
get that it is being sewn on him
and hurt himself moving into the
needle. Others see in this reason
the general attitude Of discour-
aging a Jew from doing two
things at one time. Thus it is gen.
orally prohibited to put on two
garments at once, for much the
same reason. The emphasis is
upon reminding us to pay full at
tention to each thing that we do
individually, lest ''haste makes
waste Others claim that sewing
a garment on ones person is pro-
hibited because it is customary to
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1951-06-22

finish the stitching of the shrouds
on the corpse. The latter may
have been done so as to assure the
fact that this particular garment
was made for this particular
body: and that no one else is ever
to derive any particular benefit
from it. In the case of a living
person, it is quite likely that the
garment may be handed down or
sold or loaned to another indivi-
dual. Besides, one always refrain
ed from doing for the living what
was done for the dead.
: = =
QUESTION: Why is it that no
knots are tied in the shrouds of
the dead?
ANSWER: This practice is usu-
ally regarded as a symbol of con-
fidence in the resurrection of the
dead. A knot is representative of
finiteness or the end of rope.
Not having any knots in the gar
ment of the dead is indicative of
the fact that we regard death as
but another chapter in the mys-
terry of life; and not the final one,
by any means. Thus the absence
of the knot indicates tn at the
thread of life is still being spun
and will finally result in the re-
surrection of the dead.

QUESTION: Why is it custom
airy to blow the shofar in the
streets of Tel Aviv to announce
the coming of the Sabbath?
ANSWER: In ancient times it
was said that the shofar was
blown six times to announce the
coming of the Sabbath. Generally
the shofar was the means of an
nouncing things in days of old. A
fast day was thus announced. The
new month was thus heralded in.
Morning and evening the shofar
was blown to announce the daily
sacrifices. The six times on the
eve of the Sabbath probably an
nounced the fact that the six
working days were coming to an
end and that it was time to pre-
pare for the Sabbath.

FIRST HARVARD GLIB IN
NORTH is ORGANIZED
GRUEMING Is PRESIDENT

The northernmost Harvard Club
IN the world was founded recently
in the Anchorage area. Gov. Ernest
Gruening was named its first Presi-
dent.
At breakfast meeting held in the
Officers Club, Elmendorf Air Force
Base, Anchorage citizens, Army and
Air Force personnel, all former Har-
yard students, gathered to form
Alaska's first Harvard Club, and
at the same time the most northern
organization of its kind. The new
group will call itself the 61St Par
allel Harvard Club in honor of its
location at Anchorage, and indi-
Gated that the clubs first official
act would be to inform James q
Conant, President of Harvard Uni
versity, as well as the Director Of
the Associated Harvard Clubs Of
the new organization.
Gov. Gruening, who graduated
from Harvard in 1907, was named
first President of the group by ac-
clamation. Other officers elected
were 1t. Col. Stephen C. Monroe,
Chief of Information, us. Army,
Alaska, as Vice President. and Ell
mer e. Rasmussen of the National
Bank of Alaska as Secretary-Trea-
surer Col. Monroe graduated from
Harvard in 1884 and Mr.. Rasmussen
in 1880.
Major Joseph M Hartley, II,
former Harvard football player and
now Army Special Services Officer,
was named Club Poet.
The first order of business for
the new group will be to contact al
Harvard alumni and former students
in the Territory and invite them to
attend future meetings.
Although no definite date was set
for the next meeting it was agreed
that the club would convene in the
future as required or desired by The
majority of the members.
Those who attended the first
meeting included Gov. Gruening,
Mr.. Barrie White of Anchorage, 1t.
Col. Charles Kuna, US. Army,
Major Hartley, 1t. Col. James w,
Clark, us. Air Force, Mr.. Rasmu-
son, Lit. Col. Monroe, and Major
Frank A. Gleason, US. Army.

ing American troops to western
Europe.
A number of reporters present at
his news conference quickly pro-
tested that this was not so.
They said all of his remarks
were published, subject only to the
White Houses own restrictions
against using quotation marks
without the Presidents permission.
Mr.. Truman at his news confer
ence a week ago insisted he has
the power to send troops to Europe
or anywhere else he thinks they
are needed but said that as a
matter of courtesy he will consult
Congress before doing SO.
He said too that if Congress tried
to stop him by cutting down on APP
preparations he would carry the
question to the American people.
He added: 81 licked 'em once"
His remarks were widely publish
ed.

RECOMMENDS ACT
!. FOR funds Alaska
hkRD0p PROJECTS

AS part of the general drive to
strengthen the Territory, t n e
Alaska Development Board has re-
commended to Delegate E. L. Bart
lett that he introduce in Congress
a special act to appropriate the
funds necessary to construct during
1851 all the harbor improvement
projects in Alaska which have been
approved by the Corps of Engineers
and authorized by Congress.
Involved in the new Development
Board move are a channel dredging
proposal, a river protection project
and eleven small boat harbors, in
Guiding the Gastineau Channel
dredging project.
Local Projects
! At the same time the Board urged
that authorization be sought for
The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1951-01-18

seven other Alaska projects which
have been recommended but not yet
adopted by Congress, including
Douglas harbor and Gold Greek
flood control.
The Presidents budget message
this week failed to request an APP
preparation for any Alaska river and
harbor project aside from Wrangell
Narrows.
only $3,979,100 would be needed
to build every single one of the
Alaska projects awaiting money
from Congress-" George Sundborg,
Consultant to the Alaska Develop
ment Board, stated in letter to
the Delegate.
Most of the projects involved have
been authorized by Congress ever
since 1945 but no money has been
forthcoming for their construction
blockade Prevents Work
The usual procedure after acts of
authorization are passed by Con-
gress is for appropriations requests
for the specific projects to be
cleared through the Bureau of the
Budget by the Corps of Engineers.
This has not been done on any of
the Alaska projects except Wrangell
Narrows and the Nome breakwater
for many years. The Development
Boards proposal for special act
would seek to get around this block
ade which has prevented work on
so many urgently needed projects.
Funds Authorized
One of the projects involved,
Kodiak harbor improvements cost
ing $4,000, was authorized by Con-
gress as long ago as 1910.
Eleven other harbor projects were
authorized in 1915 These, with their
costs, are as follows: Seldovia har-
Dor, $4,000; Skagway harbor,
$4,000; Gastineau Channel dredg-
ing, 100000; Elfin Cove, $131 900;
Sitka harbor, S724,000; Petersburg
harbor, $150,600; Wrangell harbor,
1922, 900; Port Alexander, $4,000;

troll of venereal disease appears very

a small percentage of the cases.

voted to tuberculosis control than
any other phase of nursing. One
chest X-ray survey was made and

taken. Weekly chest clinics were
conducted, showing 81 patients adj
mitted to medical service, 4l6 office
