Mrs. Brown is something I shall
never forget. What a charming
couple, we thought. We fell in
love with Mrs. Brown at first
sight. She was an attractive bru-
nette, with large brown eyes, a
beautiful face, and she had two
adorable children. They were
both sincere and gracious and we
admired them greatly.
And now we were in our room,
sitting and staring at each other
and wondering. These people
were Jews-and we were here.
Imagine, if you can, three girls
in a strange city, and almost pen
niless-and you may have an idea
of the expressions on our faces.
Getting back to Quebec would be
fine, but it would take money,
and it would also mean the end
of our adventure away from
home. And to stay {. :. with whom!
We decided, there, the three of
us-to stay: to close our eyes to
all we had heard in the past, and
we decided to find out something
about this condemned race for
ourselves.
Mrs. Browns brother was the
manager of the hotel and was
called Irving. He was a congenial,
intelligent young fellow about
twenty-five years of age, always
on the alert, ready to do anything

will head list of prominent

Mr.. Chizik, who was educated
at the University of Chicago and
is now administrator Of the Tel
Aviv-Jaffa Port Authority, stress
ed the need for colonizing the
Negev, to provide workers for
exploiting the areas mineral re-
sources. He also pointed out the
need of developing network of
communications stretching from
the port of Elath on the Gulf of
Akaba in the south, to the ports
of Tel Aviv and Haifa in the
north. He stressed the Importance
of the United Jewish Appeal in
the attainment of these two con-
ditions.
Initial copper ore discoveries in
the Negev. he said. appropriated
10000 tons of medium metallic
concentration. but the possibility
exists that these deposits are more
extensive.
Discovery Of manganese depos-
it's in the Negev, Mr.. Chizik said,
open new sources of supply to the
western world which in recent
years has had to face the situa-
ton that 80 per cent of the
worlds supply of this key ore was
in countries behind the Iron Cur
tain. He described the manganese
deposits as approaching two mil
lion tons. and having a concentra-
ton of IS to 40 percent of magan-
csc oxide. Experiments to aug
ment the concentration are now
being made, he said, and would
largely determine the economical
exploitation of the deposits.
Existence of oil deposits in Is
rael has not yet been fully deter
mined, Mr.. Chizik said. but three
groups are seeking prospecting
licenses.
In addition to these finds, he
declared researches are now going
forward with respect to iron, sui
phur, mica and feldspar. An init
al general survey of iron ore de-
posts has been concluded and ex-
ploration operations at greater
depths have been started using
standard mining methods, he re-
ported. The iron ore turned up so
far, he noted is of medium quality
but gives sign of existing in large
quantity.
Mr.. Chizik gave highest impor-
lance to the discovery of phos-
pilates. reporting that it has been
found in great quantity. He point
ed out that phosphates are used
chiefly as fertilizer and that the
discovery on our own soil viii
prove a tremendous boon to US.
especially in view of our highly
intensive kind of agriculture.
He reported that the discovery
of phosphates has already enabled
Israel to halt the annual import
of some 10000 tons of this vital
material at an estimated yearly
savings of more than $1,50O,OOO.
At the same time, he said a COM
pany has been formed for the
manufacture of super phosphates
to meet all of Israeps needs and
to offer it as a principal item of
export.

PLAIN TALK
By Alfred Segal
FOOTBALL AT BRANDEIs

AeG , go IN 1of some Sports 10.
day and. in particular. football.
And. since piece about football
should concern itself about actual
teams. this one is about football at
Brandeis. the JewishlY sponsored
university.
I have been consulting a couple
of rabbis about football at Brand
els, but what, you may ask, can
rabbis know expertly about foot
ball? Well, this is about football
at Brandeis on the Jewish Sab
bath, and should a Jewish-spon-
sored university play football on
the Sabbath?
The question has been raised by
the New York Board of Rabbits
which says football played pub
iclY on the Sabbath by team
which is of a school that is Jewish
in its origin just isn't in the line
of Jewish tradition.
The New York rabbis had DR..
Abram l.. Sachar, president of
Brandeis, before them to explain
it all. He answered straight out:
The American tradition of foot
ball calls for games on Saturday
afternoon; for Brandeis to cut out
football on Saturday would cut
it out of most football schedules,
would eliminate Brandeis from a
mainstream Of American life. And
Brandeis wants to stay in the
main stream. It is open to all of
whatever religion or racial origin.
But DR.. Sachar said he would
think about the matter further.
AS a sporting guy who never
has connected football with religi-
Gus inhibitions. I felt I should
consult rabbis about this. They
could give the answer: Is football
kosher. as you might say. on the
Jewish. Sabbath. Through the
thousands Of the American Jewish
population answer the question to
their own satisfaction on Satur-
days in the autumn. They attend
football ganes.)
First, / consulted the Conserva-
tive in our town, Rabbi Fishel
Goldfeder of the Louis Feinberg
Synagogue. Ra b bi Goldfeder
quoted Jewish law as given by
rabbis out of olden times. They
said, in effect, that recreations,
such as sports, are all right, if
practiced on private property,
such as in a backyard; like the
sport of boys kicking football
around in backyard on the Sab
bath.
That didn't seem to include
football publicly played for cash
admission charges on the Sabbath.
could count Rabbi Coldfeder as
being against public football at
Brandeis on the Sabbath.
Then / called up Rabbi Stanley
BRAY who is one of the two rabbis
in our Reform Rockdale Temple.
He said it is the Reform idea that
Sabbath recreation is out of place
only during the time of prayer
which is the morning of the Sab
bath. Reform Jews are not for a
Sabbath strait-laced by blue laws.
The Jewish Sabbath is for medi-
tation and recreation, and Reform
interprets recreation to include a
football game lin the afternoon.

Mrs. H.. who requests some
one to tell her of something to
make her baby sleep. There
can be any number of reasons
why a baby doesn't sleep well,
depending a lot on his age for
one thing.
The first thing I would sug-
gest is to consult a competent
pediatrician. He will check the
baby thoroughly and determine
the cause I'm sure. was hav-
ing the same trouble with my
baby. who is now 10 months
old. He was waking several
times each night. couldn't de-
termine whether he was hungry
or teething. He is cutting sew
eral teeth right now.
I decided to increase his solid
foods at night and discovered
he took all I gave him, plus
every drop of milk-about 10
ounces. Then we kept him
awake an hour and a half later
than his usual bedtime until he
grew very sleepy. So far this
has worked. He sleeps through
the night now. I check on him
periodically during the night to
see he is covered, as that can
cause wakefulness. too, / dis
covered. Now have him in a
flannel sleeping bag, so that
when he does work up out of
the blanket, he is still covered.
If your baby is still very
young. there is a possibility his
formula isn't strong enough for
him. Or maybe he is ready for
solids now. Some babies can
start earlier than others.
Mrs. r. J. Mel, HyGttSville)
Mrs. j. r. NJ, Arlington: At
10 months my baby also cried
and fought when I dressed him
and especially when changed
him. He did not seem to want to
be laid down now that he had
learned to get up. 1t was really
a problem to get diaper on.
Sometimes I could give him
something to hold that belonged
to us and it would work.
He is now 13 months old and
will now again be still while I
dress or change him. AS they
go through various stages, that
is probably the answer. While
it is sometimes hard on the
mother, it is best not to let it
upset you too much. This is my
fourth and each one had his
different problems. With my
first everything worried me. but
now with my fourth, I have
gradually learned to take it
easier and am really enjoying
the baby. So just grin and
bear it. Probably next month
this problem will be forgotten
and another will present itself.

Reported Safe on Island
Crew OF Burned Schooner
BY the Associated Press

:, ST. JOHNS, Newfoundland,
Aug. 26.-The crew of a fire-de-
Stroyed schooner was reported
safe on nearby island today as
United States Air Force planes
got set to search coastal waters
for them.
The hunt began yesterday when
the coastal freighter Blue Prince
found the smouldering wreckage
of the schooner-later identified
as the James Jones. Fire had
: burned away all distinguishing
marks of the vessel and there were
no signs of survivors or personal
effects. Later she broke up and
sank.
Early today an informant said
the crew had rowed ashore at
Cabot Island, 30 miles from Cape
Bona Vista on Newfoundland's
eastern extremity. There were no
immediate details.
