THE Norway Center dedication
April and 8 turned out to be
a very successful one with big
crowds attending both the actual
dedication Saturday afternoon,
the banquet and dance in the
evening, and the Open House the
next day. The committee Of ar
engagements, under the able lead
ership of II. Ragnar Olsen can be
justly proud of its work.

on at the banquet everyone de-
serving, got a pat on the back

Both the program-chairman and

not know of ANY newspaper that
has given Norway Center more
publicity than the Scandinavian

deserved some mention.

announced this week that the
bond-sale for Norway Center was
completed, which of course is
good news, but that doesn't mean
that any of us should sit back
and take things easy from here
on. There are many more things
needed to make Norway Center
the home that most of us want it
to be- Several hundred dollars
could easily be spent for scene
ries and stage equipment in the
big auditorium, and the Plaza
should, some day in the near
future, have its statue of Left

things necessary (some people
may call it luxuries) to make our
new home attractive and useful.

Danny Kaye is going to be
starred In Hans Christian Ander-
sens life story, to be produced by
Samuel Goldwyn. 1t seems that
GOldwyn and Walt Disney are both
very much interested in the Dan
ish fairy tale author, but Sam
Goldwyn got the edge on Disney
at some early date, when they were
both trying to secure the rights to
his biography and to his books.
Samuel Taylor, prominent New
York dramatist, has been assigned
to work on the script, and there
are rumOrs that Walt Disney after
all will do a little cartooning TO
60 with the picture. MORA Shear
er will cO-star with Danney Kaye.
So much has been said about this
film venture for several years,
that it should make fairy tale fans
especially Danes very happy
to hear that the picture is now
In its preparatory stage.
There has also been a lot said
about Greta Carlo returning to
the screen and maybe I've said
some of it. The very latest report
is that Sol Lesser. the producer, is
trying to persuade Carlo to star
in a picture for him called BLACK
Chiffon" The title sounds quite
seXy, and if Carlo has outgrown
the sexy age remains to be seen,
if this picture actually will be
made.

Famed Jewish
Composer Schoenberq
Dies At 76

LOS ANGELES (AJP) - One
of the worlds greatest composers
who left Germany in 1888 on his
own accord because of Hitler's
oppression of the Jews-Arnold
Schoenberg-died here this week
after long illness. He was 76.
Schoenberg, a composer and
teacher who invented the contro-
versial twelve-tone sy S t e m in
music, was considered a revolu-
tionary in music. Though his
works created some of the storm
lest reactions in conservative
musical circles, Schoenberg's con-
tribution to musical theory was
widely accepted as being among
the greatest of the era.
The Jewish composer broke
away from the established har-
monte rules and instead formul-
ated a twelve-tone system by
which all twelve tones of the
chromatic scale were of equal
value. Born in Vienna on Sept. Is,
1874, Schoenberg played the vio-
lin at the age of IL and despite
conditions of poverty turned to
self study of music. AS a youth,
Schoenberg was converted to
Christianity, but following his
successes in later years and on
the eve of Hitler's advent to
power in 1888, the composer re-
embraced Judaism and on his
own accord left Germany in pro-
test to discrimination against
Jews.
In 1888, the composer was cal
led upon by Rabbi Jacob Sender
ling, of Los Angeles, to write a
new melody for the traditional
Kol Nidre. Two years later,
Schoenberg, became a United
States citizen.

Session Votes Law
Granting Full
Equality To Women

JERUSALEM, (JTA) = IsraePs
Parliament, summoned to spe-
cial session this week, enacted the
Government measure granting
full equality to women in the
Jewish state in legal affairs.
The law, enacted after a strong
plea by Premier David Ben Cur
ion, gives official status to what
is existing practice in Israel. One
effect of the law, however, can
be to revolutionize the status of
Arab women.
Four Arab kadis Gudges) called
on Minister of Religions Maimon
to protest against the new law.
The Minister pointed out that the
legislation does not affect marri-
age and divorce and the position
of the religious courts.
A delegation of a hundred Ye-
menite rabbis called on Premier
David Ben Gurion to express OPP
position to sections of the law
concerning the property rights of
women and also to it's ban on
polygamy which they said was
allowed by the Torah.

Others trace this three week per-
iod of mourning to the three
weeks in the Book of Daniel were
at another time of the year, how
ever. Other writer's see in these
three weeks an omen taken from
the fact that is usually in the
course of these three weeks that
the portions of the Bible which
speak of the division of the land
of Israel amongst the twelve
tribes is read. The three weeks is
thus combination of mourning,
indicating that we lost what was
given to us in the Biblical division
or that the enemy broke up our
land in his own division; while on
the other hand a measure of con-
ISOLATION is offered in the hope that
in the days yet to come, the land
of Israel will again be reappor-
toned to the twelve tribes as it
once was before, in its original
totality and splendour-in peace
and harmony.
