Those First Settlers
BY DAVID SCHWARTZ

The American Jewish EIistori-
cal Society recently announced
that plans are in preparation for
the observance of the 300th ami
versarY of the settling Of Jews IN
America.
The first boat load of Jews
locked at New Amsterdam, now
New York, in 1854 and didn't get
a very warm reception. There
was no ticker tape parade for
them. Neither the J. D. C. nor the
Council of Jewish Women had
any committees to meet them and
get up warm meal for them and
a place of lodging. There was no
place for them to get piece of
herring or gefilte fish. No Jewish
restaurants although they landed
close to the East Side. There were
not even trefa restaurants with
Kosher style cooking. No Lindy's.
No place to get bowl of borsht.
AS they came off the boat how
ever. they did meet a reception
committee Of constables from
Peter StuYvesant. Governor of
New Amsterdam. The Jews had
come from Brazil. where the In
QUESTION had been reintroduced
and were forced to flee in hurry
leaving their property behind.
They had arranged with the cap
tain Of the ship to take them to
New Amsterdam. but apparently
not all had money for the tickets.
and the captain was now insisting
that some Of the Jews be held as
hostages u ntil the fares were
paid.
Governor Peter Stuyvesant was
ready to oblige the captain in this
regard. He didn't want to permit
the Jews to remain in New Ans
terdam at all. He was afraid, he
wrote to the Dutch East India
Company, that they were so poor,
they would become public
charges. If they did, it would be
necessary for him to take money
out of his own pocket to support
them. While he had no intention
of doing this, the idea that he
might have was disturbing. He
didn't like to be bothered by such
ideas. Sometimes the thought of
duty can be as painful as the duty
itself. In fact, psychologists tell
us that the thoughts are very
often more painful than the
realities.
There was another thing that
troubled one-legged Peter StuY-
vesant-that they might not be-
come public charges. They might
become rich. That would be
worse. he thought than if they
became public charges. so one Of
the first things he did. was to
restrict their trading. They were
only permitted to trade in areas
where there was no rich gravy.
You might say that this was \
contradiction to his original idea.
but go argue with a man like
Peter StuYvesant! So the Jews
were not permitted. at first. to
trade in those places where the
Indians brought the hides and
furs. Their lot. on the whole. at
least until the time Of their land
ing. was very similar to that Of
the Pilgrims who came on the
MaYflower. The latter had arrived
onlv 40 wears before them.

PINEAPPLE PIE
(Frons Mrs. W. NJ. G.
LeTinotOn PnrE.l

Here's my own recipe for plain
pineapple pie-as you stated in
your request, cookbooks give re-
cipes for all types of chiffon, gela-
| tin, meringue and other pies, but
not plain pineapple. And pine
apple does require some special
handling when used for fruit pie.
I'm assuming you want to use
regular canned pineapple, too.
This will make about a 9-inch pie.
If you wish to make a larger one
after trying this, I'd recommend
more pineapple rather than in
tcreasing the juice content. Drain
a can Of pineapple, a No. 2 can.
The Juice should be about cup.
Put in sauce pan with " cup of
sugar for medium sweetness. Mix
p tablespoons of cornstarch with
water to a smooth paste. Add to
sirup and boil until thick and
clear. Beat two egg yolks rather
well in bowl. Now pour the thick
sirup into the egg yolks, beating
| vigorously Return to pan, and
|put over heat, and stir for about
l minute. Remove from stove, add
about ! tablespoon butter or mar
garine and a little lemon Juice,
(optionaD. Now cut the pineapple
slices in about u inch pieces and
add to the juice mixture. Cool.
Bake in regular 2-crust pie shell
lin a very hot oven (450 degrees
F., until the pastry is brown.
You may wish to use crushed pine
apple. but the tasty small chunks
of pineapple make it more like
a real fruit pie. Hope your hus-
band likes this. 1t gives pineapple
the necessary additional color, and
the juices the richness and body
for good pie.

Tuke Nv Word for II

Reading: Will you please discuss
the origin and pronunciation of the
word sWastika?-H. G.
This ancient and, until recently,
quasi symbol should not
be referred to as "swah-STEE-kuh. "
The accent falls only on the first
syllable. Say: SWAHSS-ti-kuh.
The word is from the Sanskrit
svastika, "well-being." The swastika
is said to be one of the oldest orna-
mental figures in the world, and it
has been found in the primitive art
of almost every race, and as far
back as the Bronze Age. 1t is espe-
cially prevalent in the decorative
art of the American Indian.
Until the advent of the Nazi
party, the swastika was variously a
symbol of good luck, a semi
religious talisman, charm for
warding of evil. But Hitler pro-
famed it beyond redemption, for,
said he in "Mein Kampf," 1--WE see in
1t (the swastika) the mission of the
fight for the victory of the Aryan
man-it always will be anti-Semitic
(anti-Jewish)."
