PLAIN TALK
STORY ABOUT MATzos
By Alfred Segal

STORY ABOUT MATZoS
This is about matzos and. 10 be
sure. story Of 1natxos may seem
a bit belated. You may be fed
up on matzos by now but this
story is fragrantlY seasoned with
the historically sentimental think
ing and doing Of a couple Of men:
so you should be able to take a
story of matzos rather late In the
season.
One Of these men was a MIR.
Kaplan of Cartagena in Columbia,
S. A., the other. MIR. Ely Stein
berg who is in the radio business
in our town.
Of course. you know the story
Of matzos by association with all
the seders in which you have par
ticipated. Maybe it has occurred
to you that it's an amazing thing
in human history. the way we
keep on eating matxos in the
Passover season after all the NIL.
lenia that have passed since the
matzo menu was established.
What other people insist on
eating once year, for nemory's
sake, the humble fare of their re-
hottest ancestors? No! Others
would rather celebrate their oc-
cassions with crepes suzettes and
all the pleasant variety Of today's
cooking.
This is not to brag about the
humility Of the stomachs Of Jews.
They. too. are fond Of cTepes
suzettes. baked Alaska and Dutch
pastries. and if they aren't Ortho-
dox they love filet mignon.
But once a year we go back to
matzos by which even those who
drive Cadillacs humbly recall the
time when their people were
slaves in Egypt. It's good for
Cadillac drivers to remember
this, good even for those who
drive CheVolets.
Well, there was this Mr.. Kap-
Ian who was as far away from
matzos and Jewish life as the city
of cartagena in Columbia is from
New York. In cartagena Mr.
Kaplan has a stand in the arcade.
He sells needles and pins. beads
and all kinds of notions.
You'd guess Mr.. Kaplan had
tzoros enough of his own without
carrying in his heart the travalls
of his ancestors who were slaves
some 1000 years ago. That was
what was troubling him that day
in the recent March when my
friend, Mr.. Steinberg, came stroll
ing through the Cartagena arcade
where Mr.. Kaplan has his stand.
Mr.. Steinberg, on a southern
cruise, was enjoying the noisy
enchantment of Latin-American
life when all at once he heard
familiar greeting.
"Landsmann!"
MIR. Steinberg could feel sure
that he was the one who was
meant. He turned in the dlrec-
ton whence it came and there
stood Mr.. Kaplan behind his mar
ket stand. You couldn't have
picked out Mr.. Kaplan as a Jew
from among all the native Colum-
bans in the arcade. His counte-
nance was as Swarthy as theirs.
Mrs. Kaplan was there, too. She
was much darker than he. She
spoke Yiddish, as Mr.. Kaplan
himself did.

SIXTH MEETING OF YOUTH FELLOWSHIP LARGEST YET

The sixth meeting of the Uni ted Christian Youth Fellowship proved to be big success. A fine musical program, planned by Flu gene Kardatzke, with the assist ance of the Youth Council, was enjoyed by all present.
 The message by Rev. Lewis Hudgins, on the theme "If one word of the Bible is true, it is all true," was very interesting and all said they enjoyed it very much.
 There was an exceptionally large crowd present. It was the largest gathering witnessed since the meetings started, in May, 1851. The council hopes to have all seats filled at the next meeting and have extra seats ready to put up.
 These programs have proved to be very interesting and enjoyable to all who attend them. It is the goal of the Youth Council to plan better programs and more inter esting programs for the young and old alike, in Nome.

East End Residents Protest Ramp Being Built By Sanitary Services

In the absence of the mayor, who has been ill, Councilman Pete Reader presided at the reg ular council meeting on Monday night.
 Additional street lights have been requested in several places in town and the street commit tee reported they were studying the situation.
 Councilman Elmer Straub, who is leaving for the states this week, resigned and Mrs. Pete Olson, clerk for the school board re- signed as she plans to leave for the states also. Robert Baldwin was recommended by the other members of the school board to fill the clerk vacancy.
 Elmer Straub recommended to the council that more restrictions be placed on qualifications of taxi-cab drivers and the matter was referred to committee.
 East end residents were present to register a complaint with the city on the ramp built by the sanitary services on the beach in front of the Andy Peterson resi- dence. Among those speaking for the people in that district were Mrs. Christie Waldhelm, Axel Warner, Jim Kelliher, B. N. An derson, Mrs. Andy Peterson. They stated that the ramp should be further out of town.
 MT. Straub told the council the ramp being built by the sanitary services was more sanitary than the present city dump, as the re- fuse was put into the water in- stead of on the beach.
 The matter was laid on the table for further consideration.
 Nels Swanberg, ST., and Mrs. Axel Edman registered a com plaint with the city about the Arthur Triggs residence, which they claim is about to collapse on the Edman home. They ask that the building be condemned as it is also a fire trap. In the absence of a city attorney, the city took no action at this time on the matter, but referred it to the proper committee which would consult with the welfare agent.

AHeroine Who

I AM LIDIAN


BY Naomi Lane Babson. (Har-
court, Brace & Co.: $3J
This is a rippling period novel
set in Civil War days-about a
pretty, proud Yankee girl who
elopes with a charming rainbow
chaser who drags her all over
America in search of the pot of
gold. Lidian is a romantic, and
for many years she believes Alonzo
when he tells her that after zone
more year on the road" with the
Gem Singers. they will settle down
like everybody else. But Lidian
becomes a little bitter as time
goes on, and the fact that several
extremely substantial characters
are lurking around waiting to give
her all the security she Graves,
doesn't help matters much. The
marriage finally falls apart in
Montana (Alonzo has inevitably
been drawn to the westward trek
when her departing husband tells
her. Back there in Springfield, as
I recollect. you weren't so dummed
set on house and all. You want
ed me-" Then comes the begin
ming Of Lidian's instruction in the
art of unconditional forgiveness
and unquestioning love.
Miss Babson's material is not
the freshest in the world. but her
style is pleasant and lively, her
characters-especially the heroine
honestly and humorously OBJ
served, her attention to period de-
tails unobsrusive. These factors
make the novel very warm and
satisfying.

of an immigrant family from Cen

have friends, to be liked. The
older boy next door got up a party
for her. But when she prank
ishly acted the part of Lady
Godiva on the back of a big dog
too realistically, word got around
Nobody came to the party except
the boy and his understanding

Frozen out by the town, Jackie
got even. She began dating men
with cars. some of them married.
Her reputation got worse and
worse. There was the inevitable
accident, with the drunken driver
killed and the girl smashed UP.
She recovered. but the young doc
tor who attended her fell under
her charms. He was unhappily
married. Their attachment led to
a worse tragedy. The narrator
meanwhile, was torn by unre-
turned love.
The story is simply and nat
urally told and most of it might
well have happened, you feel. The
ending, though, is not so per-
Suasive. Jackie suddenly develops
a noble side, a quality of self
sacrifice for which you are not
prepared. Up to that time she
has appeared an attractive, pa

would be quite beyond thinking ur

A practical nurse tells Perry
Mason she wants to prevent her
patients murder, but her story
sounds just phony enough to alert
Mason of danger ahead. He's
even more confident of a trap
when the patient dies and the
nurse departs with a wad of
money. Up to the very climax,
the great defender is not at all
sure one of his own clients didn't
administer the fatal dose. This
time Gardner addicts get a bonus
in the form Of not one but two

That inexhaustible mine of ro-

new novel. the first of a new his
torical series. At least Mr.. Mason
has explored a field hardly
touched in fiction, the decisive
naval warfare. The author tells
a good story. and his large public
will not mind such incidental liter
ary sins as high-fown speeches

Couvreur, the famed tragedienne
of the Coincide Franchise, and the
Comte De SAKE. the recognized son
of the King of Poland, both shone
brightly in the fashionable circles

was remarkably tolerant. When

ing. although Mikhailovitch had
been our friend and Tito had shot
down at least two of our planes,
the author points out.
Mr.. White takes issue with
Hamilton Fish Armstrong, in
whose recent book, Tito and
Goliath" Tito's army was de-
scribed as the largest and best
equipped in Europe outside of
Russia. Mr.. White says Yugo-
slavia would have q hard time
equipping 10 divisions that could
be considered highly trained" !"
In place of Mr.. Armstrong; SYM
pathetic portrait of Tito. we have
from Mr.. White a sketch of a
cynical adventurer whose record
does not inspire trust.
Tito broke with Stain largely
because the Soviet ruler refused to
go along with Tito's plan to
industrialize Yugogslavia, but in
sisted that the country be used to
furnish Russia with raw materials.
This, at least, is Mr.. Whites YER
sion of the historic schism.
"The United States" Mr.. White
writes, "has been led to the brink
of catastrophe by men who sub
scribed. and still subscribe, to two
dangerous fallacies. The first is
that communism is a lesser evil
than fascism. The second is that
by supporting national commu-
nism we can impede the advance
of imperial communism and thus
prevent or at least delay a war
that has already begun"
He recalls that latter defeating
Hitler. Mussolini and TOTO we
demobilized our armies and sur
rendered half of Europe and Asia
to Stain" Communism, he argues,
lis and was our greatest enemy.
Fascism was merely a synthesis of
communism, without which it
could never have existed. Defeat
communism and what remains of
fascism, in Spain and elsewhere,
will inevitably disappear"
