How a Pogrom
Was Averted

Costa RIGA = The Jewish Com
munity of Costa RIGA has decided
to immortalize the memory of an
American Zionist leader who
once helped to stave off anti
Semitic excuses in this country.
The local newspaper Central
America" has now disclosed how
David Wertheim, late Director of
the Latin American division of
the National Committee for
Labor Israel (Histadrut), inter-
vened to save local Jewry from
a pogrom.
While visiting this country last
year, Wertheim discovered that
anti-Jewish demonstrations were
being planned, and that the Jew
ish community here was at loss
in the face of impending anti
Semitic disturbances.
Wertheim telegraphed at once
to the United States State De-
partment in Washington and to a
number of Jewish organizations
in America, with the result that
the Costa RIGA Government inter-
vened in the situation and ban
ned the demonstrations. This
proved to be the turning point
in the progress then being made
by anti-Semitic elements, and the
situation has greatly improved in
recent months.
These disclosures were made in
connection with the formation of
a committee supervising the ar
engagements for building t h e
David Wertheim Culture House
in Jerusalem. The committee is
working with DR.. Israel Blumen-
field, Histadrut delegate now
touring Central American coun-
tries. Joseph Zanzinsky is the
committee chairman and Aaron
Waldman is it's secretary.

into the water. set his rod on the
floor of the dock. and in his phil
osophical way sat there patiently
for whatever might happen.
Maybe at the moment his mind
was not. exactly on the fish either
A Jewish mind continuously has
so many problems to worry about.
It's this and that, and anyway,
all at once the chazan's fishing
rod began to recede from the
docks floor toward the water;
and before he could retrieve it it
was in the water and had sunk
beneath the water.
The facts of this occurrence
were plain to discern. "A Miami
fish had taken hold of the
chazan's line by its hook. and in
its purpose TO break loose had
dragged the line. the rod and the
reel down with it into the water.
The chazan felt saddened and
quite Inundated by it all. No
fish ever had done such a thing
to him before. and besides all. the
rod and reel were expensive arti-
cles.
Yet he could accept the catas-
trophe in the wisdom that may
we'll be expected in a man who is
so much in the communion of
singing to God. Well, yes, there
were other rods to be had and
other reels, and other fish in the
sea, too. So, next day, he was
fishing again and it was on that
day there was revealed to the
good chazan the miracle that &C.
Cured in the waters for him.
He was not far out in the bay
when he began to feel those move
mems that suggest a fish at the
end of the line. How good this
was: only a few minutes from
shore and a fish was already on
his hook! The chazan pulled dis
creetlY at it. A good fisherman
doesn't go at such a crisis greed
lily; he pulls at it philosophicallY.
First of all there came up on
his hook another fishing line and
at the end of this line hung a
lively fish; then, farther along on
the line, there came up fishing
rod and also reel.
Sure enough. this was a mira
Gle: Yesterdays fish had come
back to the chazan bringing along
the valuable rod and reel it had
made off with. Hook. line. rod and
reel had hung on to the fish
through the day and through the
night unto this moment of the
morning when hook. line. rod. reel
and fish all came back to the
chazan's hands; like some token
of justice still left over in a world
that's so full of injustice.
Well might the chazan then and
there have sung out one of his
most eloquent praises to the God
of justice who does such things
for people. He looked with won
drous awe at fish, hook, line, rod
and reel that had returned to him
as by miracle, you might say.
It was quite a fish. about five
pounds in weight. and what to do
with it. It. was a fish of which
the chazan's wife could make a
rich dish of gefillte. But there was
a moral problem involved beyond
the temptation Of gefillte fish:
After all. this fish had returned
the chazan's rod. reel and line.

On Making Decisions
(FrOm the Central Advocate)

The art of successful leadership entails the ability
to make DECISIONS the courage to them out and to
accept responsibility for People just will
ing to follow fox who cannot make up their minds Some
of them know what they want to do but they afraid
of the risk involved Consequently they are unable to
make decisions which likely to be challenged that
may throw them in position to be criticized.
There individuals who will do almost anything
they place in front shift the blame on
someone else They want to be loved and they are try
ing to impress the people that they unusually kind
and generous These not the people who do not have
convictions but those who do not have the courage and
moral stamina to stand by their convictions.
All of know people who cannot take the risk
of being wrong. They always find explanation
which places the blame some other person some
incident Sometimes they go to great lengths pointing
out how they let down in given situation. Of
course it goes without saying that respects that
kind of leader though he may appear to be getting
by with his uncnny actions. The truth is that such
person is real social and should not be placed
in positions of real responsibility. No individual be
right all the time and should constantly seek the will
his mind and should his decision prove to be poor one
he should have the character to admit it.
A good leader recognizes the fact that he does
not know all the answers and always open for light
and help from whatever that make it available.
His decisions studied decisions and he acts upon
them with confidence.
When the opinions of others given the proper
spect the final decision is shared decision and the
group shares in the responsibility.
With the willingness has in accepting
praise for achievements, he should accept responsibility
for Otherwise he Weakens his leadership and de-
StrOyS his effectiveness.

We should never stir up Slavery
in the minds of either young race
1t only stirs up battered you see
And brings about more disgrace.
Let Slavery be forgotten today
This young race hates the name
They have shed their blood in two
or three wars
Helping America to win her fame.
All slave traders is about dead and
So let the name be dead as we'll
Stop advertising what has been
done
And stop ringing that slavery time
bell.
The Christian family should blot
the name
Slavery, and link in Gods house as
one
Unless we love one another. Jesus
said
Gods will, will never be done.
Jesus was sent a Jew among Gen.
=, tiles
He was a Redeeming Christ for us
all
He gave his life to save that which
was lost
And answer to the roll when it is
call.
There are many mistakes we make
in,life
With thoughtlessness it stirs up
strife
Let slavery now be forgotten
In the minds of this young races
life.
We need to lift up Jesus Christ
A redeeming Christ for us all
Who shed His Blood on a Rugged
Cross
For all who answered His call.
Too many things we are lifting
up today
When we should lift up Christ in
our minds
We need more Christian in this
young race
And not so much of these good
times.
We have the Gospel to lift up
And Jesus Christ is the man
Obey the will of Jesus Christ
And lift Him up from land to land.
Stop lifting slavery up in Gods
House
The history will tell it all
We must lift up Jesus everywhere
we go
Or else the Church of Christ will
fall.
