attractive, something appropriate.
1 found just the books for our
family'S Chanukah in the jewish
American Book Store in Los An
geleS this summer.
For our 11-year-old daughter
there is Ben Aronin's "a Child's
Book of Prayer, published by Good
man Brothers in 1858. Here we find
short prayer, in verse, for every
day of the year-including such
unexpected days as Ground Hog
Day, American Indian Day, Pioneer
Day and Johnny Appleseed Day!
The simple, unpretentiouS verses
do not moralize, but they help the
young reader to live in the ethical
tradition which the Jewish people
have perpetuated. Without quoting
extensively 1 cannot convey the
feeling these prayers give of reyer-
ence for the Divine, love for ones
parents and appreciation of the
beauty of Gods world.
There is more. There is a re-
minder that all men of all colorS are
Gods children; that we must ac-
cept differences in others; that we
must respect the dignity of labor;
thta we must not be tale bearers;
that we must face life with a sense
of humor.
There is even a verse for Feb.
13 telling us not to fear the number
Is or think of it as unlucky, be-
cause we-and not some occult
poWer-are responsible for keeping
out of harms way. But, it con-
cludeS, it is comforting to have
Gods hand beneath my arm"
''TELL ME ABOUT God and
Prayer" by Morris Epstein is the
other book I found. This is for
children who must be read to, as
well as those up to eight years of
age. 1t is a picture story-book about
an American Jewish family and its
experiences with God and nature.
All the familiar questions are
there questions which most of us
find so hard to answer in terms
child will understand. And the
answers are given within the frame
work of the life known to today'S
children.
The little stories are told with
friendlineSS and a sense of humor,
and the Illustrations are charming.

the Torah on this festive occasion.
It is unusual-thiS happy preoc-

1t has given us love and honor
for our parents, and thus puri-

helped to unite and strengthen us.
It has given us the Sabbath with
it's rest and renewal, and the idea
of one God, which is strong enough
and meaningful enough to have
been borrowed by other religious
more recent than ours.
One of our most beautiful Sab
bath prayers tells us that the Torah
is a tree of life to them that lay
hold of it. The more we learn about
it, the better we understand that
prayer, and the closer we come to
knowing what it is that puts the
Joy in Simchath Torah, one of our
really happy holidays.

CIVIL DEFENSE ADVISES ON
SAFEGUARDS FOR EMERGENCIES

A rainy-day project which would
safeguard the health of millions of
American families in disaster
has been outlined for the nations
homemakers by the Federal Civil
Defense Administration.
The project: A simple home
preparedness program against dis
ruption of family food, water and
sanitation facilities in case of an
enemy attack or in natural disaS-
terS such as floods, hurricanes and
tornadoes.
FCDA, in cooperation with the
Public Health Service, has COM
piled checklist of what home
makers can do about emergency
food, water and sanitation. The
agency stresses the Importance of
making these simple preparations
before disaster strikes:
/. Store right now the extra
drinking water that your family
might need. Don't wait for an
emergency. When emergency oc-
ours, drink only water or other
liquids that you know are safe.
2. Know how to turn off the
water service valve if necessary,
and learn where to get water for
emergency drinking, cooking and
washing if your outside supply
fails.
8. Be prepared to purify water
for drinking purposes in your own
home, if necessary
4. Keep 3-day food supply on
hand, and replace the things you
use to keep your stock fresh or in
good condition. In emergency. eat
only safe foods prepared only un-
der safe conditions.
5. Know what you can eat or
drink safely. Avoid using foods or
liquids that might be contamin-
ated.
6. Keep emergency garbage in
tightly-covered containers until
collection and disposal services
can be restored by health author
tiles. If the emergency lasts for
several days, bury your garbage.
z. Provide for the disposal of
human wastes in covered contain
ers in the event flush toilets are
not working. If the sewerage sys-
tenn is out for more than a few
days, dig an outdoor latrine. New
er expose human wastes to disease
carrying insects or animals. That's
how epidemics start
g. Learn how to make soil bags
for emergency use if your other
sanitary arrangements fail.
9. Be ready to take care of fro
zen foods and refrigerated food
supplies if the gas and electricity
are shut off. Eat or cook such
foods before they spoil. Don't re-
freeze any frozen foods that have
thawed without cooking them first.
10. Don't listen to rumors about
the safety of food and water sup
plies, and don't pass such rumors
on to others. Observe official in
structions only, as relayed by your
warden and other civil defense
authorities.
You should keep your food
where it will be safe from con-
tamination. Most kitchen cabinets.
pantries or closets have doors that
close tightly enough for safety.

es of maturity in an effort to i'm
prove milling quality.
"Ohio farmers have been los
ing hundreds of thousands of dol
lars annually in poor quality
wheat dus to storing harvested
wheat with too high a moisture
content. Proper forced air ventil-
alton is expected to reduce such
losses" he said.
Sammis emphasized how the
beneficiary of electrical progress.
"In his home can be found the
same labor-saving, comfort-pro-
ducing electrical facilities that
are owned by his city cousins" he
reminded his listeners.
He recounted how in 1923 an
important step was undertaken
that gave real impetus to the
farm electrification movement
This was when the Committee on
Relation of Electricity to Agricul-
ture was formed by the National
Electric Light Association, Amer.
lean Farm Bureau Federation,
American Society of Agricultural
Engineers, the u S. Department
of Agriculture and others.
Twenty-seven state committees
we're organized for the purpose
of building a test farm line pro-
pect in each state to serve group
of farmers and to cooperate in the
application of electricity to farm
equipment.
The first experimental line un-
der this program was constructed
near Red Wing, Mimi, that same
year, Sammis pointed out. 9th
.er lines soon were constructed in
New Hampshire, Michigan, Wis
consin, South Dakota, Iowa, Kan
sas, Illinois and Ohio.
The pioneer Ohio test line,
about six miles long, was built
near Marysville in 1926 to serve
13 of % farmers residing along
the route.
An interesting aftermath of the
establishment of this line, he
said, was the development by a
farm representative of The Ohio
Edison Company, working in con-
junction with a manufacturer, of
the first off-peak electric water
heater with battles within the
tank for supplying hot water in
the farm dairy. A crude affair,
it was a forerunner of the type of
appliance in popular use today.
In addition to working with To-
cal colleges and universities in
many states, the utilities also
have engaged in independent re-
search.
1t is estimated that one-sixth of
the country's population live on
farms and receive from seven to
eight per cent Of the national in
come, the EEL head emphasized.
1t is not uncommon for farmer
to have an investment in land and
equipment running 100000 or
more, he pointed out.
with such large segment of
the population engaged in farm
ing, the electric utility companies
deem it a challenge to continue
their best efforts to make electri-
city do more and earn more for
the farmer and his family" he
concluded.

OHIO EDISON PLEDGES SUPPORT
TO FARM ELECTRICITY RESEARCH

Washington, ID. C.-Electric util
ity companies "urge and pledge
cooperation in program of con
tinued coordinated research on the
part of all farm agencies and or
ganizations," declared Walter H
Sammis, president of Edison Elec
trio Institute and president of Ohio
Edison Company, before the Ma
tional Farm Electrification Con
ference recently.
Despite the fact the greatest
use of electricity is in the farm
home, the greatest potential for
future business is that offered by
the farm chore load, the Con
ference was told.
These two important conclusions
are readily apparent from recent
studies, the Edison Electric Insti-
tute IEED head declared.
One such survey of scores made
by utility companies in conjunc-
ton with land-grant colleges, uni
versities and other agencies in a
concerted effort to electrify the
farm, served to point UP, Sammis
said, that electricity on the aver
age farm has hardly scratched the
surface.
The EEL head outlined his views
In discussing Progress in Farm
Electrification Through Research" !"
and reviewed various research pro.
jects initiated over the past 30
years.
"All of us supplierS of cleo
tricity, equipment manufacturers,
farm organizations and the U. S
Department of Agriculture - can
derive considerable satisfaction
from the progress of farm electri.
fieation to date" he added. "Our
cooperative efforts have enabled
the. farmer to produce more with
less manpower. But much remains
to be done"
Explaining further the electric
utility companies keen interest in
farm. electrical research, Sammis
stressed that the companies recog-
nize they can prosper only to the
extent that the areas in which they
do business "enjoy healthy and
durable growth"
"All of their money, invested in
generating equipment, substations
and lines, is anchored in the soil
Of the territories they serve" he
reminded the conference.
unlike manufacturers and other
industries, an electric utility can
not move to another section if il
finds business slack and unsatis-
factory. All utility companies are
therefore active in area develop
nent."
Characteristic of research pre-
jects now going on Sammis stat
led that beginning in 1851 all OF
the electric utility companies in
Ohio and 18 of the States % rur-
al electric cooperatives establish
ed the Ohio Farm Electrification
Council and subscribed 10 cents
q farm meter for each of three
years to a fund to be admins
tered by Ohio State University.
He said that research studies and
clinics have been held by these
groups to secure information and
useful data on CD infra red
