HOW TO KILL A MEETING!
/. Don't come to the meeting.
2. If you do come, come late.
8. If the weather doesn't suit
you, don't think of coming.
a. If you attend meeting, find
fault with the work of the officers
and other members.
5. Never accept an office as 1t
is easier to criticize things.
6. Nevertheless, get sore if you
are not appointed to committee
but if you are appointed, do not
attend any committee meetings.
7. If you are asked by the chair
man to give your opinion regard
ing some important matter, tell
him you have nothing to say. At
ter the meeting, tell everyone how
things ought to be done.
8. Do nothing more than is alb
solutely necessary, but when other
members roll up their sleeves and
willingly, unselfishly use their
ability to help matters along, howl
that the organization is run by a
clique.
9. Never pay your dues when
asked.
10. Always get angry and walk
out of meetings in a huff when
things don't go your way.

Root of the Matters

CAMPAIGN MONTH is always
trying experience for community
executives. Work schedules run 16
to 18 hours a day. Nights are
spent in wakeful anguish worrying
about this and that. The execu-
tive's household is wary when he
is present. His children are careful
not to conduct themselves normal
ly but walk tip-toe and speak in
whispers. His wife watches him
anxiously, convinced that he is a
stranger.
His pockets bulge with notes on
envelope backs and match covers.
Memos pile up on his desk. His
hands are filled with lists: of
workers, of donors, of meeting
schedules. His phone rings con-
stantly with pleas for more pub

Dear Fellow Members,

Dear Fellow Members

experience with newcomer to Phoenix. In Novem-
man of synagogue, stated that the auditorium

paint were supplied to him.
This wonderful offer by newcomer brought
to the Beth Ell Mems Club the club bought the paint
(what is the club for q and the auditorium was
decorated very nicely in most professional manner
This gentleman asked that his name not be an
nounced. Yet in order to express my thanks from
the bottom of my heart feel you and the commun-
ty should know. Therefore, at my own expense this
open letter is being published to express my thanks
personally, and behalf of the Beth FL Mems Club
and the Congregation who likewise express their ap-
probation.
1t is wonderful for a newcomer to Phoenix not to
come here asking for services from the community
not to stay away but to generously contribute with
out being asked With that wonderful spirit our COM
munity must benefit and prosper For that reason
make his permanent home here and have helped him
to locate here in the painting business.
It is my sincere hope and belief that he will long
remain in Phoenix and continue to serve with bene-
fit, all who deal with him, and the community at
large For am that in all his dealings his upper
most thought will be to serve.

which are chic this season and def
initely passe a few years hence.
Some give them names which have
no meaning for the family except
perhaps - in Jewish households
that the first letter of the chosen
name is the same as the first let
ter of the name of a recently de-
parted relative. In this wise,
Baruch becomes Barry, Samuel
becomes Stanley, Moses becomes
Montgomery, and Esther is Eileen.
It, seem to me we can do better
than: that.
Most of us believe in some sort
of historic, continuity. We pre-
serve relics of our. great and

our share in, the past, just as we
teach, our, children, lovingly the
songs our mothers sang to us,, be-
cause these, too, are our heritage.
But our names !? Surely they can
associate s. as well with the sainted
generations,?
The early Americans thought
SO, andj they bore their beautiful
Bible names with pride. Some. of
Americas most. famous people,
FROM Samuel Adams. to, Benjamin
Franklin, from, Ely Whitney to
Abraham Lincoln, were named
from the Bible, after the great
men who were our ancestors.
For centuries past, the Jews too
have carried those Names, which
remain still in our collective mem
ory, to be cherished and preserved
for the generations to come. Our
children will love them, and l pre-
dict that when they are grown,
they will be grateful to us for the
beauty and dignity of the names
we have borrowed from the ages
for them.

CLEVELAND (NNPA) - When
it was reported that Len Ford
would be in uniform for the Cleve-
land Browns championship game
with the Los Angeles Rams, which
the Browns won in a story-book
finish, 1928, Sunday, December
2, little did anyone know that the
huge end would be a standout per-
former on defense.
Ford saw action for the first
time since October Is when Pat
Harder of the Chicago Cardinals
slugged him in the face, sending
him to the hospital with a frac-
tured jaw, a depressed cheekbone
and the loss of several teeth.
He entered the game toward
the close of the first half Wear
ing a special mask made for him,
Ford replaced Jim Martin and
played defensive right end for the
rest of the game. Three times he
spilled ball carriers for large
losses.
II felt real good" said Ford,
who had not yet regained all the
weight he lost. "And I'm very
happy I got to play. I wouldn't
have wanted to miss this game for
anything"
Marion Motley was a great dis
appointment. He virtually handed
the Rams a touchdown.
In an attempt to circle his own
left end, Motley reached the line
of scrimmage, found no opening
and attempted to reverse his field.

The Mount Olivet Tabernacle

eyes," he replied. "Any church
is a good church that will keep
you even as a member for twenty
years"
This remark, made in jest, car
ries a great deal of truth. A sense
of utmost humility should possess
all ministers of religion when we
realize the high office to which
we are called and our own in
sufficiency.
The Apostle Paul stated this
truth in these words: "But we
have this treasure in earthen
vessels, that the excellency of the
power may be of God, and not of
u.s."
Pride of station, a naughty
spirit, an exalted ego should never
be part of any minister's equip
ment.
We are only sinners saved by
grace" If we possess any strength
or excellence of character at all,
it pales into insignificance when
we behold the face of Him in
whom there is no guile. All our
righteousness is but as filthy rags
in His sight.
No person is great enough to
honor the church with his services
in any capacity. But everyone is
honored beyond measure to be
privileged to be a co-worker with
God.

BY OLIVER BELL

The Xmas holidays are over with
the same sad story we read about
after every national holiday. Most
Of us, I'm sure, have enjoyed this
Xmas. After the hustle and hustle,
weary days of shopping, and all
the nervous strain; but seeing the
happiness it brought to others we
feel it was worth it.
But what about those people
who were cut off in the middle of
their enjoyment? This year came
near setting an all-time high rec
ord of accidental deaths and in
juries Usually the highways claim
the largest percentage. Therefore
what is my and your obligation
toward helping these conditions?
Everyone should so live that
when his time comes to pass over
into the great beyond he should
have no regrets. Some might say
it is fate or destiny that people
are killed or meet accidental
death. It is true that mans days
are numbered, so are the hairs on
his head. But his time can be
hastened by his own negligence
and willful ways.
If we would be a little more
careful and conscientious in hand
ling our own responsibilities, from
driving a car to building a fire,
it would help a lot in lessening the
miseries of ourselves and others.
We should always realize that
what we ourselves do, will in some
way affect others. In this present
day, no one person can live for
himself alone. Whatsoever he does
in some way or another will af-
feet others.
So why should we burden others
with our own mistakes and short
comings? If we must have a fit
or go off on a drunken spree,
please try to get somewhere where
you will be alone and no one will
be harmed but yourself. This
should not only apply to holidays
but every day we live.
One of the most tragic things
l can imagine is where one per-
son is injured or made to suffer
from what another person has
done. Be careful, be courteous,
don't take those unnecessary
chances on the spur of the mo-
ment. Think well before you act,
and don't be sorry. later!

Before you start to sew rayon
fabrics, be sure to select fabric
that is suitable for the particular
garment you will make. You'll get
good results using the following:
needles - for rayon suitings, use
a medium or medium coarse
needle in your sewing machine.
For hand work, use size z or 8
needle. Use a medium mercerized
thread or medium silk thread. The
thread color should be a shade
darker than the fabric. Chalk is
better than pencil or graphite for
marking rayon suiting fabrics.
