QUESTION: Why do some
cemeteries have chapels on the
cemetery grounds? Is this neces-
sarY?
ANSWER: The origin of this
custom is one that is almost for
gotten. According to Jewish ira
dition mourner is excused from
observing the positive Command
ments from the time of the death
until the time of burial. This is
done so that he can devote his
full attention to the needs of the
burial of his beloved. This means
that on the day of burial, before
the burial is completed, he has
been excused from the obliga-
ton of saying his prayers. With
the closing of the grave his status
changes and he is Immediately
responsible for the Command
mentS.
He suddenly remembers that
he has not prayed all that day
and is required to say the prayers
as soon as possible. To facilitate
this matter, especially when the
burial grounds are so far re-
moved from ones home, and a
great deal of time is involved es-
pecially when there was no mod
ern mechanical transportation
special chapel was erected ON
the grounds for mourners who
could not pray earlier and wished
to do so before the day passed.
QUESTION: Where is the most
proper place for one to observe
the seven-daY mourning period?
IT. H.. Augusta. Ga.)
ANSWER: The Rabbinic liter
ature gives preference to the
home of the deceased. The line
of reasoning is that the soul of
the deceased itself mourns there
and the company of the family
gives solace and consolation to
the soul. If, as writer's put it,
mans home is his castle, then
there is something about a mans
home which also carries his per-
sonality. Observing the period of
'Shivah" in the home of the de-
ceased somehow brings us closer
to him and makes us realize that
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1952-01-11

his personality and character are
not manifest in his body alone.
His home, remaining behind him,
still carries traces of his being.
This leads us to some kind of
understanding for the concept Of
the immortality of the soul.

team and in the office-everyon
is going to the top. The battalion
marched in the Armistice Day pa
rade and took second place in the
judging. On February 19, the
strange men seen around Tech
were not from Mars; it was the
initiation of the R.O.T.C. at Tech.
The initiates had to wear fatigues
and white T-shirts, bright colored
ties, signs Cn their backs, and they
all carried small wooden rifles.
The art department is beginning
to paint ties made by the sewing
class. The sewing department is
now making squaW dresses and
Western shirts. They also have a
lot of sewing on display in the dis
play room.
On February II Techs presenta
ton of An American Flag was the
main event of a luncheon held at
the Hotel Adams. Tech gave the
Exchange Club an American flag
in appreciation for the sewing ma
chimes given each year to the out
standing senior girl in the sewing
class.

An Adventurer From EskimoIand

He condemned me to DEATH"
You know I had never really
believed in hypnotism, but then I
really was in a bad way" says
Eide. Il was in a trance for more
than a half hour. Obviously, I
couldn't stay there. I had to try
to get over to the mainland, some
how. l needed lumber for a boat.
The Eskimos, feeling this way
about me then, wouldn't let me
have any lumber SO I had to dig
up some from their old graves. I
got skiff made, tied together
with rawhide and outfitted it with
a Norwegian square sail. Well,
then they said it was impossible
to cross the Boring Sea alone, but
l set out and left. I barely made
it. The weather was bad and the
mast was broken. I had to swim
ashore over a mile through break
ers."
First Life Insurance
After three years in government
service on the island, and after
making other studies of Eskimos
at close range, thanks to the i'm
valuable aid of his Eskimo wife,
Eide was able to get a pretty clear
idea of how Eskimos live. Two
books of his prove this. He wrote
New Stories from Eskimoland,
1890, a textbook used widely,
and in 1887 "Blandt Kone-Bytte-
Folket" in Norwegian, describing

fairs of Eskimos, "Backdoor To
Russia" will be published. The
publisher has arranged for him to
hold lectures on the subject
throughout the country.
Yet. if an Eskimo medicine man
had had his way on the Little Do
mede Island, between Siberia and
Alaska, in 1916, Eide would not
have been alive to tell the story
today.
Eskimos No Savvy Weather
Over a cup of coffee the other
day, the rowing Alaskan nomad,"
worldly-wise and relaxed, recalled
his encounter with the evil spirits.
The hostility of the Eskimos
forced the government to close
the school on the island. Their
grievances stemmed from short
age of food, resulting in starva-
ton, and uncommonly severe
weather.
A sip of coffee, and Eide takes
his time.
Well, what happened
THE medicine man tried to
change the weather"
Yes?
ITO no avail. SO in order to save
face he blamed the storms and
starvation on me-"
So what?
He hypnotized me-"

strange Eskimo customs, such as
wife-trading.
do you know that wife-trading
was the first original life insur-
ance," he says.
when a young man got married
he would make an agreement with
five or six other couples on the
eve of the fall festivities, marking
the end of the hunting season
Each male in this group would
eventually have a child with each
woman. These five families, for
instance, would provide for the
head of the family. If a death oc-
Cured the head of the family
would stay home for year to
cheer his family. But when the
head was too old to work or bene-
fit the family he himself would
ask to be killed. Eskilnos believe
in reincarnation SO that the moth
er of the first child born in the
family after the death of the fam
lily head would not spank it, since
she would, in effect, be spanking
her own father"
Murder That Is Kind
Eide himself saw how an old
chief was choked to death by his
own son-in-law at the chiefs re-
quest. This killing is, or has been,
considered an act of kindness. The
strange customs described above
still persist in odd places, says
Eide.
Today Eskimos are in the ma
tional guard far to the north, they
are active in the radio, aviation
business with many of them work
ing in stores, and some are even
musicians, lecturers and authors,
says Eide, now residing at 1907 w.
Goth, Seattle.
Large Eskimo Collections
Eide himself has aided the Eski-
mos by getting action for the es-
Establishment of the first hospital
in PIT. Barrow, now operated by
the government, and industrial
(trade) schools with COMPRESSION
al approval for a $4,000 grant in
1924. Such schools are now oper-
ating at White Mt. Eklutna and
Rangel under government super
vision. AS a hobby, he has COL
lected over two tons of curios from
Eskimo life, now kept at the Uni
versity of Washington, and has
two collections in New York. They
include old lamps, beads, stones,
even thousands of picture photo
graphs taken as early as 1892,
and numerous other items.
Eide's Eskimo wife died about
thirty years ago. He has had sew
en- children of which three are liv-
ing; one died when accidentally
/ given kerosene by a missionary
during a water shortage at Point
Barrow. In a way, he has had his
fair share of tragedy in the north,
but he hasn't lacked happy times,
either. Such as the time when
travelling across the Boring Sea
in an open boat, an Eskimo wom-
an warmly protected him from
the bitter cold. How? Why she

troduced him to Harold Samuel
great English Bach pianist, and
so Randolph seated himself at the
piano, held his breath just a lit
tie, and unfurled years of striv-
ing ambitions in the rich, flowing
music of Bach. When he had fin
ished there was a orief silence,
and the boy waited. But Samuel
had the question on the tip of his
tongue:
Where did you learn how to
play Bach? You may be the
very person to carry on with Bach
-. You must come to England as
soon as possible and study under
me I'll arrange it,"
Old Man Fate, chuckled. He
knew the boy was on his own
from then on.
Mixing It With Bigwigs
Samuel gave him a scholarship
for nine months, and Hokanson
left for England. The master him.
self died suddenly in 1887, but the
young Scandinavian-American was
determined to stay on. He studied
under Myra Hess, one of the
worlds greatest woman pianists.
He studied composition as swell,
mingled with bigwigs like Vaughn
Williams, in English music circles.
And inwardly he grew, preparing
himself for the day when he would
come back to America with his
music.
Tours Throughout U. S.
After three years in England, he
returned home" in 1889 and was
Immediately booked for nation
wide concert tours under the aus
pices of Columbia Concerts Corp.
From 1912 until 1916 he served
as interpreter with the U. S. sig
nal corps and was stationed in
England and France After the
war he made two additional ma
tion-wide concert tours, served for
time with a music institute at
San Francisco, and joined the fac
ulty Of the music department at
the U. of Washington in 1949.
There, aside from his teaching, re-
citals, radio broadcasts and con-
cert appearances, Fortune smiled
at him again.
This Fate Business is All Right
Old Man Fate had it all figured
out, yes Qika fordrar lika)-
and dabbed few alluring wrinkles
in the eyes of Dorothy Cadzow,
also a music faculty member. So
help them fate, they'll be married
very soon. The Wife-To-Be, a tai
ented composer, has written sew
eral orchestral suites, example:
Northwestern Sketches, string
quartets, sonatas, choral music, in
Cidental music for radio network
programs and Broadway produc-
tons (she orchestrated the Ford
Sunday Evening Hour on radio for
some time) and children's music.
What more can you want, Ran
Golph?
I'm a very happy man." says
he.
There's one strange thing about
the Hokanson family. Considering
Randolph's rich talent, there is
seemingly not very much to show
for it from the standpoint of her
itage. Neither Papa Eric Hokan-
son, though an ardent music low
er, nor Mrs. Hokanson play instru-
ments, and there's no record of in
strumentalists in the family .
