EFFORT TO PUT E. P. WHITE
ON BOARD OF EDUCATION

A letter from reader on the
South Banks says that number
of people have been approached
in that part of the county with
respect to writing letter to the
representative in Raleigh asking
that Chairman E. P. White of the
Dare County Board of Education
be appointed in the legislature for
another term, despite the failure
of the voters of the county to
choose him in the 1850 primary.
This letter also states that a num-
Der of people have written such
letters, and expressed the fear
that the number of letters writ
ten might influence action in the
matter.
1t has been customary for the
legislature to appoint those who
had been recommended by the
voters. Without successful oppo-
sition, it is within the power of
the legislature as recommended by
the county representative to nom
mate any or all, put up an entire
new board, increase or decrease
same.

SMALL BUSINESS
GETS rs PERCENT
IN MILITARY ORDERS

The Department Of Defense has
reported that Of the 1876, 1882 pur-
chases Of supplies, services, and
construction by the military serv-
ices in the fiscal year ending June
80, 1850, total of 1857 ,O0, or 70
percent, were transactions with
small business firms.
In dollar value, the report shows
that small business received $780,
Gle, 700, or 24.5 percent, Of the total
of 1885 1896, 900 spent for defense
orders. In addition to receiving
direct contracts, small businesses
firms employing fewer than 500
persons) also benefited from mill
tary orders by working as subcon-
tractors for other military sup
pliers.
Three-fourths of all purchase ac-
tions during the year were not
larger than 1000 each, most of
which went to small business. On
contracts of less than 5000 each,
II percent of the dollar value went
to small business firms.

ed by Congress, but the measure
got into the hopper too late to
qualify it for inclusion in the APP
preparation bill essential to pro-
vfaing funds for the work. Mr..
Ward continued to remind men,
bers of Congress at frequent in
tervals, also other parties inter-
ested, of the vital need for i'm
provement at the inlet.
Meanwhile the fleets of traw-
lers from as far away as Glou-
cester, Mass. operated within
sight Of Manteo when the wea-
Their was worth the risk but not
one of them was ever able to get
through to the docks that ring
Dare county's 1900 square miles
of inland waters. Fishing contin-
ued its long decline inside and ma
tive fishermen continue unable to
get out to sea.
Realizing that there might be
reluctance on the part of Con-
gress to go into the matter now,
although American tax money is
now adding $50 square miles to
the area of Holland by building
so million dollars worth of dykes,
Mr.. Ward decided to go at it on
the basis of national defense. He
is reminding the defense author
tiles of the late General H. H.
Arnold's observation that a paved
road to Cape Hatteras, a small
landing strip and a base of oper-
ations somewhere within reach of
the north side of Diamond Shoals
would have saved half million tons
of sorely needed shipping.
From his first exploration of
this possibility Mr.. Ward reports
sympathetic listening by a num-
Der of men in high authority. This
week he came back to again mob
ilize his neighbors in Dare county
to turn to and present the matter
again, this time on the basis of
defense as we'll as an economic
measure that would provide
Americans with hundred million
pounds of seafood annually in
time that America will be needing
all the victuals it can get to feed
itself and a good part of the rest
of the world. Disappointed that
it was not done two years ago,
he finds his neighbors eager to
again come in with him to see if
something can't be done now.

WEEKS WEATHER
MAKES AMATEUR
PROPHETS DIZZY

On last Saturday morning,
shortly before four o'clock, sonw
began sitting down all over Dare
county. It continued all through
the day and in some parts of the
county it was still showing on
Sunday morning. Before the
storm subsidized the county had
had its heaviest snowfall since
Dec. II, 1913, with 5 inches at
Manteo and about the same at
Hatteras. where such snowy
blanket is an even more unusual
weather freak than it is in other
parts of the county.
Temperatures during the week
end storm were little below freez-
ing: and warmer weather SUNDAY
and Monday melted away most of
the heavy white blanket. except
in the woods, which remained a
northumberland wonderland to
delight all who followed the foot
maths between the laden pines,
holly trees and live oaks. On
Wednesday an all-day rain ruined
the woodla land spectacle and
splashed awav practically all the
snow left in the open spaces. But
the weather turned much colder
on Wednesday afternoon; and by
Thursday morning citizens were
worrying about frozen water
pipes and nervously checking
their fuel oil, wood and coal sup
plies against the continuation of
the bitter cold weather, the brrr-
lest of the whole cold winter,
The week following the ground
hogs's annual look-see offered
little of everything in Dare coun-
ty-and the changes came SO
swiftly that by Friday it was diff
ficult to know whether sandals,
fur-lined boots or rubber over
shoes would be the proper foot
wear for the morrow. 1t began to
look as though the weather man
was getting his predictions out of
kaleidoscope. One thing all
agreed on: the week was full of
too much of everything except
warmth. Sunshine wasn't enough;
for on Thursday morning, when
everything was icy and the value
of wool clothing was at least qua
drupled, the sun shone brightly
(even mockingly, some thought)
out of clear, blue sky.

Kaufman declared that the

issue constitutes ''far more than
the development of a new source
of income for the Jewish State.
It marks decisive departure in
the whole financial policy of Is
rael. Up to now, American Jewry
has been asked primarily to con-
tribute funds for philanthropic
purposes to help destitute Jews
to immigrate into Israel and to
maintain them there during their
initial period of absorption. Now
the Israel bond issue calls upon
the American Jewish community
to demonstrate its faith in the eco
nomic development of Israel by
lending money as a sound and
safe investment. In floating a

wretched aspect of the self to substitute for it the
radiant temple of faith and beauty, of exaltation
and the joy of life
Rabbi Pinchas of Koretz, whose image domi-
mates and rradiates all of Silverstone's work
wrote this regarding negation and renewal:
when seed is sown in the EARTH the grain can
not grow before it has decayed and become no
thing in that decay the power lies dormant until
there emerges the full ear this is the meaning
of the Kabbalistic phrase: The doffing and the
donning of a garment. The moment of the
vanishing is the moment of the emergence"
Therefore, Reb Pinchas goes on, the best advice
to a man is that he should regard himself as the
equivalent of nothing; thence will come renewal
of his intellectual being. The meek person who
is "sunk in nothingness is like one who sleeps
refreshing and health giving sleep For all things
of this world come under the law of sleep, even
the plant kingdom, which thus renews its life.
Silverstone was captivated by this idea of
renewal, which borders on the creatiO ex nihilO-
creating from nothing. His essay "Hitchadshut"
(RenewalO, published in Ha-Doar, opens with
the words of Rabbi Simcha Bunam of Pshischa
in his 'The Discourse of the Holy Seraphim'-,
I'm the beginning God created. The world was
created as genesis, and remains so. For the
creation is not completed or perfected vessel"
From this Silverstone inferred that man. the part
of God in the creation, must for ever be per-
fecting and completing the vessel which is him
self. This never-ending process of perfection
goes on increasingly through the renewal of the
powers of creation. Without this renewal crea-
ton lapSeS again into chaos
Thus would Silverstone thread these pearls
of the great ChaSsidic spirits throughout his es-
says, mitigating the depression which ate at his
heart, and strengthening his hold on life Chas-
sidism was the magic rope to which Silverstone
clung, maintaining his foothold in the elusive
world which he conjured up for himself
There is something symbolic in the fact that
the last essay he sent me, which will be pub
lished shortly, was called "Prozdor u-Traklin"
"VeStibule and Palace" In this his last essay
people, the elect of the spirit, who always think
of themselves standing in a vestibule where
they preparing themselves to center the

And while he was lingering in the vestibule
of his dark life, he stricken again. the partial
paralysis became complete, and within twenty
four hours he silenced for ever.
And the man who had walked all those davs
within sight of the ambushing enemy knew, it
seems, the meaning Of the second stroke for with

editor publisher, Ha-Doar National Hebrew
Weekly
Trans by MAURICE SAMUEL
Author-Lecturer
By MENACHEM RIBALOW

Far from the centre of Jewish life in this
country, in the desert of Arizona, there passed
from life, before his time, the Rabbi and writer,
Abraham Silverstone, aged only fifty-one.
Most of his writings were published in Ha-
Doar and nearly all of them dealt with Chassi-
dism subject to which he responded with every
fibre of his mind and whose creative spirits he
revered and loved as the guides of his life.
His life was one of sadness and suffering.
The hand of fate lay heavy on him, Withholding
from him the simplest pleasures of health. His
path lay in shadow-the shadow of death; and
the yearnings of his heart were eclipsed by it.
But his spiritual thirst he quenched amply at the
wide springs of the Torah; above all he found
comfort and delight in the Chassidic lore which
he had imbibed from his youth.
Some eight years ago asked him, as asked
the other contributors to Ha-Doar, to send me
brief biographical sketch and his picture. After
year of reminders on my part he wrote me,
"I do not know why clever like you
should ask for these trivial things. have been
sick all year. and I am still ailng. The Angel of
Death has been rapping impatiently at my door,
and l am resisting his entrance. This last letter
of yours makes me think of the end; the close
comes before have made my place in life 1
am still young-only forty-four
81 have no picture and I can't take one
now"
When l met SilverStone some years ago at
summer resort, he in the company of his
loyal wife, who kept devoted watch over him
from the first moment when the shadow of the
threat of death fell on him. Part of his body was
paralyzed and he was compelled to give up his
Rabbinical post. He was under double strain;
first, the dread warning had been delivered; sec
ond, the unhappy awareness that the burden of
their livelihood now fell chiefly on his wife.
l comforted and encouraged him as best
could, but his quiet smile betrayed rather than
concealed his penetration and realism. He un-
derstood that it was for to say what l said
but the reality would not be changed. And when
we parted there went with me his SorroWful
image from which could not liberate myself, or
from the sadness which lowered over the life OF
this couple-a sadness blended with love.
From that time on Silverstone sent me, from
Tucson his short essays on ChaSsidlsm. The work
sustained his spirit and helped him to retain his
hold this life.
The resplendant names of Israel Baal Shem
Tow Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev, Nachman of
Bratzlav Pinchas of Koretz, Zusy of Anapollie
and their disciples illumined the darkness of his
days. and translated him to another world -
world of music and imagination For herein lies
the deepest power of Chassidism, enabling the
adept to dvest himself of the material groSSnesS
of this neither world, and to rise above the
