that "a careful inquiry discloses

PLAIN TALK
TEN WINDOWS
BY Alfred Segal

AecenuY luV1ted all the read
ers to inform this column on their
ideas of being Jewish. That is to
say. what Is a Jew?
There are almost as many opin-
ions on that as there are Jews.
Other kinds of people know ex-
actly why and what they are,
racially, religiously, nationally.
There's NO argument among them
on this at all. But Jews are for
ever arguing about themselves
and why they are Jews . 81 am
a jew because I was born that
way" - Or, 81 am Jew be-
cause of my religion Or,
Il am a Jew because of national
origin which stems from the land
of Israel" Or, 81 am a Jew
because of the ethical principles
that come to me out of our teach
ing to guide me in my relations
with my felloW-men" Or, II
am a jew because 1 guide myself
strictly by the Biblical laws even
to the matter of what l shall or
shall not eat" :. !. Or, 81 am a Jew
because I am a member of the
civilization that is Jewish" Then
there are a variety of standings
among these opinions of what a
Jew is.
Now one of those who respond
ed to my invitation to tell in
writing whats a Jew is Rabbi
Victor Reichert of Cincinnati. He
is one Of the rabbis of Cincin-
nati's Rockdale Temple (Reform).
When you pass by there and
raise your eyes toward the caves
you get a quick, poignant idea of
the Judaism of Rockdale Temple.
Across the facade, under the
caves, you read, carved in the
stone, these words: ''MY HOUSE
SHALL BE CALLED A HOUSE
OF PRAYER FOR ALL PEO-
PIES" That's from Isaiah (56-O
and suggests the universally Of
the Judaism to which Rockdale
Temple is dedicated.
Rabbi Reichert was telling me
that he had discovered the mean
ing Of being a Jew through the
windows of his temple. That was
years before he became its rabbi.
when he was sill a freshman in
the Tabbinical seminary OF the
Hebrew Union College at Cincin-
malta searching youth.
"It was in the fall of 1921" he
writes, ''that from rickety street
car that bumped and jOfted over
still more rickety tracks, ! aight-
ed in front of the magnificent
Rockdale Temple. It was with a
sense of awe and reverence that
I climbed the steps and entered

feel already dedicated. though he
had long way TO go before he
would become rabbi of this tenn

I've real several articles on New

a typhoid fever patient or a "car-
rier." These germs enter the mouths
of healthy persons in contaminated
water, milk and other foods.
Symptoms
Typhoid fever starts gradually.
The early symptoms vary greatly
with different people. They can be
one or more Of the following: A list.
less. rundown feeling; severe head
ache; loss of appetite; nose bleed;
bronchitis; diarrhea; constipation
that appears suddenly; chills. If
you have any of these symptoms, it
would be wise to see doctor. He
viii determine by your symptoms
and by laboratory tests whether or
not you have typhoid fever.
Prevention
An understanding of how typhoid
fever spreads from person to person
is your first line of defense against
this disease. It is well worth while
to know how to avoid swallowing
the germs which cause it Typhoid
is long, dangerous, and expensive
illness. Methods of prevention are
fairly simple and inexpensive.
Pure water. Pure water is neces-
sary for health Unfortunately, the
purity of water cannot be judged by
its appearance Even water from
clear, sparkling mountain brook
may contain disease gefms if it has
been polluted upstream When pic
niclxing, take bottled water along,
or boil water from brook or spring
before drinking it. Some states pro-
tect their citizens and tourists by
testing springs for purity, and post
ing signs nearby. If you and your
household use well water, have your
well inspected. This service can be
obtained by request to your local
or state health officer, or to the
county agricultural agent. In many
states, it is free
Safe milk. One way that you can
be sure of safe milk is by using only
pasteurized milk. Canned milk is
safe as it comes from the can be-
cause it has been sterilized. Certi-
fled milk should be pasteurized. too.
Labels on bottles are plainly marked,
so look for 'sPASTEURIZED" ON
the label. Don't accept any other in
your home or in a restaurant. The
laws of many cities forbid the sale
of unpasteurized milk, but village
restaurants often buy raw milk
from farmers. Feel free to ask about
this in any restaurant. Making sure
of safe milk and pure water is q
form of protection that costs you
nothing extra.

TboAgbts on Life
Window
Shoppers
b. DR.. JOHN w. HOLLAND

By DIX. JOHN w. HOLLAND
DID YOU EVER notice the pro-
cession of people who walk and
stand in front Of windows looking
at the goods offered for sale? Many
of them never 60 in. They merely
window shop.
There are millions of window
shoppers in every station in life.
There is the political shopper. He
is not interested enough in the des-
tiny of our country to do anything
about it. He has no convictions. just
opinions. His opinions do not drive
him to the ballot box on election
days, particularly when the election
is nominating primary. He looks,
but he does not buy.
Nearly one-half of our electorate
does not vote. They are political
shoppers. If our country is in peril
they do not know it. On-lookers
have never served their country in
any hour Of danger or great need.
If America ever goes down, it will
be because one-ha1f of us do moth
ing about it.
Religious Shoppers
There are the religious shoppers.
Mark Twain once humorously said,
when asked what church he at
tended, IT do not stay away from
any particular church" His listen
ers laughed and clapped their hands
at this humorous confession that he
was religious shopper. There are
too many husbands, fathers Of chill
dren, who could help to bank in the
moral purposes of their children, if
they had the courage and spiritual
backbone to stand out for the con-
victions that make men, rather than
to stand outside and look in. It has
been said that 90 percent of the
work of all the churches is done by
10 percent of the membership. I
do not know whether the percent
ages are correct. merely quote
them for your eye to see.

Thousands of marriages that go

Ravens of happiness and usefulness
if both mates had the honesty and
character to face up to the rather
stern facts of life, bury their little
differences and invest all their time
and attention to make a success Of
their home life.
A young man whom / love and

coming down 10 days later no doubt

would be the proper incubation
period.
Your comments bring out a very
important practice in poultry man
agement, that is not to allow to birds
to be exposed to any uncontrolled
outside source. With the birds of
the air that is easier said than done.
Along this same line we had a flock
in this state that had been pullorum
clean for number of years, then a
lew reactors occurred. Concurrently
with this outbreak the game officials
released some pheasants near the
poultry farm and the pheasants ate
with the pullets on range. One of the
trapped pheasants proved to be a
pullorum carrier.
So it is wise to try to keep birds
as well as human beings away from
your growing flock. Also, should
you visit another poultry farm, it is
wise to clean your shoes before go
ing back to your own flock.

Thank you for your remarks. OF
course we can never definitely state
that the song birds had Newcastle
disease, since they were not sub
mitted to a laboratory test. But you
are correct in stating that the birds
of the air are carriers Of poultry dis
eases.
The 4-week chicks and the AZ
month chicks no doubt got the dis
ease from the same source, since not
enough time elapsed between the
outbreaks in the two flocks to get
it from one or the other. The hens
