Rabbi David L. Schwartz Addresses
Kiwanians On Democracy And The Jew
Traces Growth OF Democracy From The Days OF Moses Tt
The Present Day And The Part The Jews Played In Its
velopment.

In an address on Democracy and
the jew" at the regular weekly
luncheon meeting of the Kiwanis
Club, held at the Hotel Alexander
on Thursday, David L. Schwartz,
Rabbi of B'Nai Abraham Synagogue,
told his audience that, with the Jews,
Democracy began with the cry of
Moses, LET My People Co."
The meeting was presided over
by president Albert NJ Long, and
the speaker was introduced by DR..
Wilson P. Ard, of the Education and
Fellowship Committee, who ar
ranged the program.
During his address, in which he
traced the growth of Democracy
from the days of Moses to the pres
ent time, Rabbi Schwartz pointed
out that even in Biblical times the
Jews believed in and practiced it.
He told of one great Jewish lead
er, Gideon, who when asked by the
Jews to become their King, gave this
simple Democratic answer: "I will
not rule over you; neither shall my
son rule over you; the Lord shall
rule over you," and, he added, prac-
tically the same answer was given
by Samuel.
In a striking illustration of the
Democratic ways of the Jews,
the speaker stated that they set
aside seven cities as Ravens for
those who felt they had been unjust
ly charged with one crime or an
other. Under the Jewish law, he
stated, these men, once they were
within the walls of any of the seven
cities, could not be harmed and must
receive fair trials in the courts of
those cities. Rabbi Schwartz then
pointed out that there would be no
lynchings in the United States if

Western Maryland Railroad VIII Ask
Permission To End Passenger Service

ried, it sustains an out-of-pocket
loss of $423 over and above all
revenue received from fares, mail
and express. No passenger train on
the railroad is earning enough rev.
enue to pay its crew wages and the
fuel bill, On wages and fuel costs
alone, the annual -of-pocket loss
on its operations is over 100000
per year. With direct charges only
for upkeep and maintenance of its
equipment, the annual deficit is now
about $450,000 and is increasing.
The Western Maryland is es-
sentially a freight carrying road.
It's shippers, along with those all
over the country, have objected to
being burdened with passenger train
losses, vigorous protests having been
made at recent hearings before the
Interstate Commerce Commission
that they should not be required to
offset such losses by increased
freight rates.
The transportation of mail pro-
duces about one half of the Western
Maryland's passenger train revenue.
This is likely to disappear, it is said,
since the Post Office Department has
recently adopted a policy Of trans
ferring all mail to highway trans
portation where distances are less
than 200 miles. Arrangements for
the handling of express by other
means are now being studied by
railroad officials.
With this situation to face, officials
of the railroad have concluded, with
great reluctance, that the Western
Maryland Railway Company cannot
continue to sustain such losses, and
that the only solution to the prob
lem is to apply to the Public Serv-
ice Commission of Maryland for au
thority to discontinue these passen-
ger trains.
The following tabulation shows the
present average number of passen-
gers per day getting on and off
trains at Hagerstown, together with
those travelling to or from stations

The Western Maryland Railway
Company, facing an annual out-of-
pocket loss, of nearly a half million
dollars on its passenger service,
plans, within the next few days, to
ask the Public Service Commission
for permission to discontinue its
passenger trains between Cumber-
land, Hagerstown, Union Bridge and
Baltimore, it has been announced
by Eugene S. Williams, chairman of
the Company's Board of Directors.
Railroad officials state that the
railroads passenger service has OPP
Grated at an annual loss over 30
years, such loss having increased
over 500 per cent during the past 7
years. The cause is attributable to
the transportation revolution which
has taken place during the past Is
or 30 years in the extension of hard
surfaced roads and the enormous
increase in private auto transporta-
ton and bus operation The Western
Maryland Railroad has been parti-
cularly affected by the private auto
mobile, because of the short distance
of its passenger train runs. AS a re-
suit, its passenger train operations
have been reduced to the point where
the present service consists of: one
round trip between Baltimore, Hag-
erstown and Cumberland; one adj
ditional round trip between Balti-
more and HagerstoWn; one round
trip committing train between Bal
timore and Union Bridge on week
days, with only one round trip be-
! tween HagerstoWn and Baltimore on
Sunday In 1916 it operated 40 trains
per day, including 7 round trips be-
tween Baltimore and Hagerstown,
10 committing trains and daily
train to Chicago, beside numerous
excursion trains to Pen Mar Park
and its famous Blue Mountain Ex-
press to Blue Ridge Summit.
Detailed records have been main
tanned for the past several years of
the number of passengers using each
train between each station, as well
as the costs of operation. The pres
ent cost of its operation with declin-
ing patronage has now reached the
point where. for each passenger car

At the dinner meeting the hundreds

final instructions before starting out
to call on their prospects. Too much
cannot be said for this group of vol
unteer workers who, unheralded
and unsung, gladly take on the job
of going from Office to office and
house to house to solicit funds for
the drive, so that the agencies of the

such law was in affect here.
Another striking example of Jew
ish Democracy in action was cited
by the Rabbi-a law which stated
that in every 50th year, which was
known as Jubilee Year, all lands
and properties seized for debt must
be returned to the families from
which they were taken. This law,
the speaker said, made it certain
that there would never be a perma-
nent landless class in the country.
Rabbi Schwartz then stated that
the Pilgrim Fathers drew up their
constitutions and village codes from
the Jewish Bible and that, for a
while, the study of Hebrew was
compulsory. Then, as further
evidence of the affect of the Jewish
race on Democracy, he quoted John
Adams, who wrote: "In spite of
Bolingbroke and Voltaire, l will in
sist that the Hebrews have done

nation"
Coming down to FOUR times, the
Rabbi pointed out that Hitter rec
ognized the influence of the Jews in
a Democracy by making this state
ment: my Jews are valuable hos
tage given to me by the Democracies.
Anti-semitic propaganda in all
countries is an almost indispensable
medium for the extension of our
political campaign. You will see
how little time we shall need in
order to upset the ideas and the
criteria of the whole world, simply
and purely by attacking Judaism"
In conclusion, the speaker said:
1.-THE Jew cannot live in a world
that has lost its liberty, for his whole
history is an unwavering assertion of
the right of men to be free"

OLD AGE SECURITY
INFORMATION CITED

Employed persons now IS and
those approaching 65 have a defin-
lite responsibility to themselves and
their families to take advantage
of the financial benefits possible
under their social security account,
according to Marshall Barney,
manager of the social security Of
flee in Rocky Mount.
Regardless of the age of an en-
ployed person who dies, some
member of the family should get
in touch with the social security
office Immediately, Barney de-
clares.
He says that the experience of
his office has shown, in too many
instances, that families are not
aware of the old-age and surviv-
ors insurance benefits payable in
the form of monthly checks to elig-
ible retired persons, widows and
children, and lump-sum death pay
ments. AS a result financial bene-
fits have been lost and can never
be recovered.
Barney says it is extremely i'm
portant to those considering re-
tirement in the near future to con-
suit their social security office
before they reach a final decision
because, under the new law, the
date when a benefit claim is filed
may greatly affect the amount of
the monthly benefit. To file a
claim before the most advanta-
geous date can deprive an indivi-
dual of substantial future sums.
For that reason it is hieghly inn
portant to have all the facts re-
viewed by a social security Of
flee first so that determination
may be made for the best interests
of the individual.

Aycock's relationship with the

Coast Guard and the saving of

faced death for 80 hours while
their ship, the "Annie Mae, -

there were editors who on open
ing their mail, got the impress
sion that North Cardinals hottest
news spot was located 80 miles
due east of the mainland.
During World War II Aycock
became a civilian agent for the
United States Navy and he bonn
barded his superiors with miles
of copy reporting tales of German
submarines, strange lights, bod
les washed upon the beach and
similar coastal matters.
After the war-and that is
where his story really begins
Aycock, apparently aware of his
unique position as Cardinals
Number One Coastal Reporter,
went to work as serious minded
press agent.
Overnight he stopped his con-
vivial career, and began to devote
his full time-about Is hours a
day-to his clients.
In the beginning his typewrit-
er and his camera "a fine one
given him by his great friend
Tony Seamon) were devoted to

tubs for the Lost Colony" and
for the Dare County Chamber of
Commerce.
Give Aycock Brown sand, sea
and water and he will make
something newsworthy of it.
Wherever he is something hap
pens and that something whe-
ther it be a two-headed turtle,
a hurricane, a bathing beauty or
bit of lore from the Outer
Banks-takes on freshness when
Aycock tells the story and with
photography fires it out to edi-
tors all around the country.
A year or two ago it was very
nearly impossible to pick up a
newspaper without reading about
Morehead City. Today Aycock is
filling the newspapers of this
state land nation for that mat
teri with more Dare County pro-
motional copy than is being
turned out by cities of Charlotte,
Winston-Salem and Greensboro
combined.
Like any press agent, Aycock
can whip a screw-ball idea into
frothy sensation.
In the late 1920's, for example,
Aycock, who didn't know a pa
CODA from a parasol, joined the
syndicate that was seeking to
make their pagoda at Atlantic
Beach the center of new coast
al resort.
Dean Isreal Noe, an Episcopal
Minister in Memphis, had receiv-
ed great attention some time be-
fore by propounding the theory
that a man could achieve divinity
by thinking lofty thoughts and
dieting on cashew nuts and
oranges.
The Reverend Noe, after los
ing his church and winning back
his health at Johns Hopkins,
came to North Carolina to preach
to the coastal folks.
Aycock conceived the idea of
having the Reverend Noe conduct
a Sunday service in the Atlantic
Beach dance hall. The Minister
obliged and Aycock's Cathedral
by the Sea" was an immense pro-
motional success.
He knows the coast from Curri-.
tuck light to Lockwoods Folly
Inlet and yet his knowledge
and it is amazingly complete
somehow has not dulled his eye
for a story that will please and
interest persons who never have
visited the Outer Banks.
