the fact that the church now has

VisitatiOns
Yet for all the plans for the
churchs future, Pastor Palmer is
fully occupied as it is with mis-
daily routine. We learned that af-
ter rising in the morning he de-
votes some time to reading and
meditation before going to the Of

tary Miss Alva Johnson may have

duties to check with him before he

daily round of visitations to sick
people and shut-ins and invariably,
hospitals such as the Seattle Gen.
eral and Swedish Hospital. The
latter supplies him with a list of
Lutherans and even though they
may not be members of the church,
Pastor Palmer will call on them
to give what spiritual comfort he
can.
One Skeptic Turned Christian
Those that aren't members pose
a special problem to the minister
since he knows nothing or little
about them and must strike up the
acquaintance from scratch" Yet,
it has proved worthwhile, and one
case bears out the point.
1t concerns an individual, a Lu-
theran by name at least. who was
confined to the hospital for time.
This skeptical individual showed
that the pastor wasn't exactly well
come, but Palmer kept visiting
him. After leaving the hospital,
the man apparently thought he
could get along we'll enough with
out spiritual aid. A few weeks Ia
ter, however, the pastor received a
call from the mans wife asking
whether or not he was the pastor
"of the church by the bus sta
ton" The man couldn't remember
his name, but he remembered his
good will message, and wished to
see him He was in a bad way. He
had cancer. After Pastor Palmer

OF LUD

Lud is a bachelor and ma
tive of The Club. His apartment
consists of a living room, a kitch-
enette, closet and a frigidair, plus
the "Copenhagen" cabinet. U can't
blame a bachelor. if he likes
home cooked meal Is in a while
and Lud can cook. That's Y he is
a bachelor.
Y should I get married and get
up early in the morning and cook
breakfast som lazy woman? Lud
asks himself.
Lud's favorite dish is pork
chops. So out he goes on Satur-
day 4-noon down 2 the market
2 buy his porkchops. We were
just having our lunch, Mrs. Skrell-
bonn and ]. when. we heard some
unusual noise coming from the
stairway. It sounded like some l
trying 2 move piano upstairs,
and that's hard work. We stepped
out in the hallway 2 what was
going on. It was no PIANO, but it
was Lud comm home, carried by
2 us. soldiers. 222 lbs. of Lud
and AS lbs. porkchops.
-Whassamatter Lud? U amt
dead, U? Mrs. Skrellbom asked
very eXcitedly and added, U can't
do this 2 us yet, Lud, U hav'nt
signed the pledge 2 buy stock in
the Sweden House yet.
Nuts 2 U, Lud protested. I
amt dead and l amt even drunk,
not dead drunk anyway. If l was
dead and carried home by 2 uni
formed soldiers, they wouldve put
an American flag over my car
cass. Sure they would. The only
decoration now is that package
of porkchops I'm carrying with
me. that is: They carrying home
with me.
So Lud related the whole story.
1t happened just outside the club
building. He stepped on a banana
peeling, fell and sprained his
ankle. In the fall he tossed the
porkchops out in the middle of
the street. A taxi driver almost
ran over it He stopped, tho,
picked up the chops, still intact
in its wrapping and offered his
services to me. His taxi couldn't
run me up flights of stairs, so
there wasn't much he could do.
Along came 2 soldiers. brave
! US. soldiers, just arrived in our
city from Korea. They had seen
so many things at the battle front,
so the sight of Lud was nothing.
They picked him up, porkchops
all and carried him upstairs. SO
there's where all those heavy
steps, breathing and groans came
from. Not from any PIANO. Be
sides, there was enough PIANO in
the last issue of The Scand. AM
erican. so let's 4-get all bout
pianos now and concentrate on
Lud.
Well, Lud is recovering. He has
stay home from work 4 a week
or so and there will be no polka
dancing 4 a while. But Lud isn't
much dancing anyway. But he
takes his hat off literally speak
ing) 2 any soldier that comes
along and taxi drivers 2. They
were the Is that saved him and
his favorite supper that day.

ling that he help restore order In
this seething protectorate. where
10 days Of rioting have claimed
at least so lives.
Jean de Hauteclocque, the
French resident general. called On
the Bey at his palace. The Bey
was told that unless he takes steps
to avoid further bloodshed, the
French win be compelled to take
even sitter military measures than
are under way now.
The French rushed heavy rein
forcements Of gendarmes and
troops into trouble spots through
out Tunisia, where Arab National
lists are clamoring for more inde-
pendence from France.
The Bey, Sidi Mohamed AL
Amin, has been sympathetic to the
Nationalist demands. Earlier in
the week he had refused to see the
resident general. pleading illness.
20 More Deaths Rumored.
Ofdcial sources put the death
toll in the more than q week Of
Irioting at A Tunisians and six
French killed. They said more
than $50 Tunisians and 20 French
were wounded.
Unconf1rmed reports said 40
more Tunisians had been killed
late yesterday in continued rioting
lat Moknine, 100 miles southeast
OF Tunis. Three French police
were slain at Moknine.
TuniSian sources claimed two
French police were killed in Tunis

The French reported no new
outbreaks since dawn.

ton was still obscure at Teboulba,
about $50 miles south Of Tunis.
Dispatches last night said Te-
|boulba was in the hands Of 'un-
Itrolled elements" and police would
attempt to re-eStablish order
there today. Seven Tunisians
had been killed there in q clash
that followed an attack ON a

In apparent preparation for q
get-tough policy, isolated French
colonists were moved from small

ordinary Sabbath. There we're
many prayers to be said in the
home. An atmosphere of piety
pervaded the homes of most Jew
ish immigrants in America half
a century ago.
Everybody, including the Amer
ican-born children, spoke Yiddish
at home, though the children
might be speaking English else
where. Every Jewish home sub
scribed to a Yiddish newspaper,
which was their window through
which they could get a glimpse
of the great wide world.
People Sang
People sang a good deal half
a century ago, Yiddish and He
brew songs, secular and religious,
and the popular American tunes
which the Yiddish theatre was
kidnapping right and left and
adapting to Yiddish words. The
phonograph was as yet in its in
fancy and the radio wasn't even
dream.
There were fewer divorces in
those days than there are now
and probably more unhappy
homes for children to be brought
up in. Life was hard for these
poor, struggling Jewish immi-
grants and children were many.
Children would often leave home
at an early age Immediately upon
their graduation from the eight
year public school to seek work

Remembrances of Fifty Years

Yet there were happy moments,
too, in the lives of us children,
days upon which we can now look
back with nostalgia while for
getting the unhappiness we were
forced to share with our parents.
There were the Jewish holiday
celebrations, festivals during
which one ate better, dressed bet
ter, visited with neighbors.
Happy Moment
Who can forget the joy of a
five-year-old boy when on his
first day in 'Heder" (Hebrew
schooD, as he was sitting on a
bench by a long table, there sud-
denly dropped on the table in
front of him a penny and as he
grabbed the penny with which he
could buy candy he was told that
an angel from heaven had drop
ped it in order to encourage him
to be a good student. is IL any
wonder that when he entered
public school a year later and
the teacher on the first day of
school asked him to draw marks
he was so insulted that he came
home crying? Imagine, a boy
with a good head" regarded by
the teacher as an illiterate, a boy
who was already learning "Hu-
mesh," the Pentateuch, in Hebrew
school! What a world of differ
ence in the things that moved us
to laughter or tears in those dim
days fifty years back and the
things that move us today!

By p. NIBUR

Having reached the age of fifty
five, have distinct recollection
of scenes fifty years ago. On this
Rosh Hashona, which is also
called "Yom Ha Zikaron," Day of
Remembrance, can recall the
picture of the world IN little
world, anyway - as it looked
around 1902.
The dress of the people has
changed almost beyond recogni-
ton. Half century ago the wom-
en- folk were overdressed-what
with their long skirts, capes, fur
pieces, etc. Today the ladies'
well, you can finish this sentence
yourself. The mustachioed men
of so years ago with their hard
collars have almost disappeared.
Gone, too, are the quantity at
tired children.
"Melamed'
The old-time ''melamed," the
Hebrew teacher with his strap
who kept a private "Heder" and
who was European importation,
seems to have gone the way OF
all flesh.
Fifty years ago most Jewish
homes in America were religious
homes. Kashruth was strictly OBJ
served. Then there was the job
of thoroughly cleansing and
securing the homes for Passover,
keeping meat and dairy dishes

Hot Weather
AntidOtgS

Maybe some cold weather sto-
ries may take the edge off the
heat. There was a story about Is
rael ZangwilIs first visit to the
us.
1t was cold winter and
Zangwill hadn't brought any
heavy underwear. He was stay
ing at the Untermeyer home in
New York and Irwin Untermeyer
gave him some of his own un-
derwear.
Zangwill was very sloppy In
his dress and Irwin Untermeyer
once had occasion to admonish
him: "Your underwear is stick

"Your underwear is sticking
out" replied Zangwill.

Another weather story is asso-

playwright, Tristan Bernard. He
was once asked what he thought
of the after life.
