1928 and Key Westers stood firmly behind AL Smith by

by the nsdious propaganda that swept the South They
reasoned for themselves and voted for the man they
thought best fitted because of his stainless and out

within the scope of the office of President of the United
States.

We can find that answer easily in Miami James M.

has been Republican, and the Herald always has

One Of our main traffic bottle
necks downtown is caused by cars
and trucks parking on the right
hand side of Duval st. Two days
ago at noon, there were eight
trucks, one car, and a city bus
parked thus in the busiest three
blocks of town. Yesterday at noon,
there were nine trucks and a city
bus in the same area.
Such a situation automatically
cuts Duval Street down to one-lane
traffic flow.
There is a legitimate excuse TO
use the wrong side of the street
as a loading and unloading zone.
However, many truck drivers take
unfair advantage of this excuse
too many of them park their We
hicle while they stop for a cup of
coffee.
Owners Of the trucks should
realize that such a procedure
creates ill-will towards the COM
pany or firm. In the long run,
their business is going to be hurt
unless they exert more control
over their drivers.

Political
NoEes

WASHINGTON R-One of the
architects of the Democratic plat
form said here it's probably q
good thing that Northern and
Southern Democrats contend the
new civil rights plank means diff
ferent things.
That's all right with me as long
as they all vote right in Novem-
ber," Sen. Theodore Francis Green
of Rhode Island told a reporter.
Despite mounting Dixie-Yankee
disputes about just what the civil
rights plank pledges, Green said
the compromise should eliminate
any bolt by Southern States SINH
lar to the 194S detection.
Green, eldest senator-he will be
IS on Oct. 2-was one of the 10
members of the preliminary plat
form drafting committee that
worked day and night at Chicago.
Their two-phase compromise
avoided a party splitting fight both
in the 125-member platform COM
mittee and later On the convention
floor.
The civil rights section promised
continued Democratic activity in
the field of racial relations to
eliminate discrimination in politi-
cal rights, employment and other
fields.
A separate section pledged i'm
provement OF congressional pro-
cedures so that a minority could
not obStruct legislation in either
the Senate or House.
Since the convention action,
Southern and Northern Democrats
have used the words of the plat
form as a mirror for their conflict
ing views.
Sen. A. Willis Robertson of Vir-
ginia, in announcing his support
for straight Democratic ticket
this fall. said the new civil rights
plank is less threatening to the
Southern viewpoint than the 1s4s
plank"
Other Southerners say fatty that
the new plank is weaker than the
1913 pledge. which caused a con-
vention walkout of Dixie delegates
and loss of 80 electoral votes for
President Truman four years ago.
Sens. Blair Moody of Michigan,
Herbert H. Lehman of New York
and Hubert Humphrey CT Mime
sofa and other Northern Democrats
insist the new platform is much
stronger.
They argue that the pledge to
improve congressional lawmaking
machinery amounts To a promise
10 end Senate filibuSters. or al
least try To change Senate rules
to accomplish this.
Caught in the middle of this DO
htlcal tug-of-war is Sen. John
Sparkmsn Of Alabama, who won
the Democratic vice presidential
nomination after helping shape the
platform compromises.
Without detailing his view On
civil rights or related issues,

Some cynical citizens of Holly

was giving up her promising ca

believers said it was merely
publicity stunt when she said she
sought another career Of helping
others to find God.
But the succeeding years have
proved her sincerity. She married
Louis Evans Jr., the son of her
pastor at the First Presbyterian
Church, Hollywood. She has kept
house for her husband while he
has attended seminary at San An
selma. Calf. In the last two sum-
mers, the pair have worked
youth camps in Europe.
This summer, Louis went to
Africa on a trip with his father
and other churchmen to visit mis-.

along to keep me busy"
The picture is called "0iltown,"
and it is the second to be pro-
dueed by Billy Graham Evangelis-
tic Films, Inc. The first was called
Mr.. Texas" and it was termed
1.-The worlds first Christian West
ern." The new film is about a
rugged oil tycoon and his daugh-
ter. They become Christians after
attending one Of Billy Graham's
meetings.

how a successful man can still

Clear Drugstores
of U. S. Charges

ST. PETERSBURG R - Three
st. Petersburg drug stores have
been cleared of charges they vio-
lated pure food and drug laws in
certain instances of filling pre-
scriptions for barbiturates.
The U. S. Pure Food and Drug
Administration filed criminal in
formations alleging the firms sold
sleeping pills without labelling
them habit forming and refilled
prescriptions without new orders
from doctors.
Federal Judge w. J. Barker
ruled the law under which the
charges were filed was so vague
that criminal prosecution wasn't
warranted. Since the informations
were brought last January the law
has Eeen amended.
The defendants were Webb City,
Inc, Kilgore's Pharmacy and Pom
eroy's Drug Store.

that, ! don't know what Wen do"
she added. 1--WE may take a church
assignment in the United States
or we might do missionary work.
We've been doing a lot Of praying

Colleen introduced me to Graham,
the young soul-saver, who ex-
planned more about the new movie.
/. "A group of oil men in Texas
advanced the money" he re-
marked, "and oil companies vol
unteered the use of their equip
ment and technicians. The picture
will cost about $125, 900, although
it would cost much more : If we
had to pay the full price for every.
thing. The actors, including Col
leen, donate their services. for the
bare minimum which the union
allows.
The oil men viii be paid back
from collections which will be
taken wherever the picture is
shown. That shouldn't take long.
since Mr.. Texas paid itself off

Graham said that his movies. ra.
do and television broadcasts have
been responsible for $4,000 CONVEX
sions, compared to $4,000 on his
personal tours. Thus he is taking
advantage of mass media.

The Worlds Most Unusual Loan Society:
HOW IT JEWS MADE A BIBLE TEXT
CONE TO LIFE FOR 10000 NEEDY
OF ALL RACES AND CREEDS

Hebrew Free Loan Society is it's
most unique financial institution.
1t finances no great industrial or
commercial enterprises, yet it has
started many man on his way
to fortune. It owns no stocks or
bonds nor does it hold any great
investments, yet it is financially
a sturdy institution. It has never
earned or paid a dividend, but its
credit rating is high. It's clients
probably could not borrow from
a commercial bank, yet they have
proven unusually good risks.
The Society's unusual approach
to money-lending is, in reality,
philanthropy enclosed in a bank
teller's cage. Motivated by the be-
lief that outright charity is too
often the destroyer of self-reli-
ance and that a mans most
priced possessions are his dignity
and sense of independence, the
Society has circumvented the
tyranny of the handout by lend
ing a hand instead.
It all began one evening in 1892
when eleven worshippers, them
selves not far removed from
poverty, met in a synagogue to
ponder the tribulations of their
many new immigrant neighbors
who were daily debarking from
steerages into the complexities of
the new world.
How to help them? The Biblical
traditions of Judaism invoke
three great tenents: Torah, Pray
er and Gem1iLath ChGSodim -
Facts of loving kindness" To give
practical meaning to GeNtiIGth
ChGsodim the eleven pioneers
created their free loan group,
taking as their text, Exodus xxi,
"a: eff thou loan money to my
people; to the poor by thee, thou
shalt not lay upon him interest. ="
Though the Hebrew Free Loan
Society is unique in America,
even, after three score years, 1t
has had it's forerunners else
where, for like so much that is
good and great in American life,
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1952-04-04

Free loan societies among Jew
ish communities were highly de-
veloped in pre-war Eastern Eu-
rope, where the economic stand
ard was so low and banking rates
so high that such societies became
the very backbone of the econo-
mic structure for the majority of
men and women in those lands.
In Poland alone, more than 1000
small free loan groups operated
up to the outbreak of World War
II.
The venture into philanthropy
by the eleven founders of the New
York group was bolstered by
their contribution to a perpetual
loan fund-$95. It was to be used,
read the preamble to the Society's
charter, ''to loan to those in need
certain moneys, instead of giving
aims, and thus assist respectable
people whose character and self
respect abhor the thought of re-
ceiving aims, to overcome the diff
ficulties in their struggle for the
means of existence"
How much can you do with
sos? During its first year the So
ciety assisted 227 impoverished
families who borrowed-and paid
back-$1,205. Loans were then
limited to ten dollars, a sum that
could promise no miracle of re-
Mobilization, but still, to the i'm
migrant of the 1905, ten dollars
was enough to start him out with
a pushcart and stock for a weeks
peddling, or it paid his board and
bought him suit of clothes until
he found a job.
Five years later, as more
money became available, the
maximum loan was increased to
/ $25 and the work of the Society
had created such favorable in
terest that the u. S. Department
of Labor described it as holding
unique position, its aims noble
and its work admirable" BY 1919,
aided by sizeable gifts from such
philanthropists as Adolph Lewis
sohn, Baron de Hirsch and Jacob
H. Schiff-but more so by the
small, unsolicited contributions
from the appreciative little
people, the ones who at one time
or another were free loan Dor
rowers themselves-the maxi
mum loan reached the present
sum of $500.
/ From the modest $95, the per-
petual loan society has since in
creased to more than $650,00O-
although the Society has stead
tasty refused to conduct any
public appeals. The loan capital
is used exclusively for that pur-
pose. The Society's operating ex-
penses, about $4,000 a year, are
betrayed by the New York Fed
Grafton of Jewish Philanthropies,
But the real story of the He
brew Free Loan Society, says its
president, Joseph burst, a prom
inent New York realtor and COM
munity leader, ''is not told in
terms of dollars, statistics or num-
bers, but in human struggles won,
in dignity regained, in tragedy
averted."
