escort. 1t is said that in the case
of the marriage of Adam and Eve,
the Lord himself was the escort.
1t is also mentioned that the
angels Michael and Gabriel were
provided for that purpose. Indeed
the escort provided the respective
mates indicates that they each
come from a respectable source
of family and friends. It is also
to be noted that relatives and
friends are worked into the pro-
cession to give the ceremony an
air of being a family affair and
as such a measure of strengthen
ing the social ties amongst those

QUESTION:: What is the sig
nificance of the canopy at the
Jewish wedding ceremony?
ANSWER: A number of points
of significance are symbolized by
the Chuppah. Originally it SEEM
ed to have be n the room in
which they sometimes located
their residence. The effect of
being alone in a room, which is
called "Yichud," (being together)
is the consummation of a marri-
age in one legal aspect. The
Chuppah was also considered
symbolic of-the new home to be
built in Israel" by the newly
weds. Also, it represented the
scene at Sinai in which the noun
tain served as a canopy at one
point of the revelation according
to the Rabbis. The revelation at
Sinai was in many ways the SYM
bolic representation of the act of
marriage. In olden times it was
this canopy under which the
bridal pair was led to the place
of the ceremony. Its covering also
could have been representatives
of the providence of the AL
mighty from above who is deem
ed as watching over his people.

QUESTION: Why is it custom
airy for the parents of the bride or
groom to lead their respective
offspring to the altar of matri.
monY?
ANSWER: From the passage in
the Book of Genesis where the
Bible speaks of the mating of the
very first man Adam and his
wife Eve, in which the Bible says
that the Lord brought her (Eve)
to the man, the rabbis in the Tai
mudic literature have deduced
that it is customary to bring the
bride to the altar of matrimony
under escort. The Zohar puts it
in the sense that sit is incumbent
for the father and the mother of
the bride" to transfer her into the
charge of the bridegroom. The
Rabbinic literature regards this
as a great Mitzvah and definitely
states that a great man shall not
refrain from giving such honor
or escort to smaller person than
him. It seems that the original
escort was also the party respon-
sible or assisting the couple in the
arrangements for the wedding,
especially according to Rashi's
commentary on the word "Shu-
shvin" which is the Talmudic
term that has come to denote the

tolerate people OF other creeds

The word tolerance is not in

tainted by condescension."

Citizens Honor Adelaide,
Rood, Sumner Librarian;
Served Community 81 Years

At one time there were 81 clubs
and organizations using the
branch as their meeting place and
headquarters. While the number
of clubs using the club has de-
creased considerably, the library
still works very closely with the
settlement houses.
Books On Negro
One of Miss Rood's desires is
that she would like to see Sumner
house one of the most complete
Negro libraries that is possible.
Or. as she puts it, II would like
to see it so complete, that II a
person wanted a doctorate's in
any phase of the Negro, he
wouldn't have to leave the library
for his reference work"
Foreign Language Collection
Sumner also serves a large sec
ton of the city's foreign speak
ing population and as a result Of
Miss Rood's diligence, the library
now houses the largest foreign
language book library in the pub
lie library system.
Because Of that, a large number
of displaced persons from all parts
Of the city are frequent users Of
the library.
Probably the thing that pleases
Miss Rood the most is when she
hears from people whom she has
seen grow up and now their chill
dren use the library.
Children have a special place in
the heart of Miss Rood, and its
not hard to see 1t when her face
lights up when a little moppet
struggles in with his smaller
brother or sister in tow and
starts looking for a book.
Miss Rood and her staff treat
the little ones as adults and that's
the way it should be according to
Miss Rood.
She explains it this way: One

ness transactions a child makes

light talking about her church af-
fairs and her pastor. She CRITICIZE
ed her church and its officers and
laid her pastors soul to rest be-
fore the bus audience. And she
finally had to admit that a pastor
who could remain at a church for
20 years and help the church bank
several hundred dollars was not
so bad after all. But she had
given bad publicity to a good
cause and possibly a good church
and faithful pastor.
Mania For Attention
As I sat and listened to her
chat, I tried to psychoanalyze the
loquacious dame. I finally conclu-
ded that she was hungry for
notoriety and notice, and she took
advantage Of the bus audience to
satisfy her mania for attention.
This is behind most of the loud
talk and rude manners Of Negroes
in public places. They are simply
dying for notice and attention. 1t
is dreadful to ride buses and hear
women talk, returning in the eve
nings from their jobs. They talk
things that are not only out of
place, but things which are defin-
itely dangerous and which give
the whites on board base notions
Of the Negro domestic helper. Ger
tainly it shows a lack Of breeding
and character.
Suppose, as I have often said,
the loud mouthed Negro can get
by" It must ever be borne in
mind that a long line Of Negroes
are following, and they must also
get by" 1t is tragic for one Ne
gro to get by in such a way as to
close the door In the face of other
struggling Negroes. The very jobs
that these public takers are
spurning would afford some other
Negro an opportunity to get on
his feet.
There is too much talk per
square-mouth by Negroes on our
common carriers and in public
places. Our churches and our
newspapers and our schools had
better give this matter some
grave consideration, for these
public show-women and showmen
are doing the cause Of Negro ad-
vancement great damage.
These loud-mouthed blabbers
are making impressions of the
race and these are definitely post
poning indignation, for which we
are driving. The loud mouthed Ne
gro in public places is a stumbling
block.

BY Edward II. Blackwell

In a way it's almost ironic that
Miss Adelaide Rood, chief hbrar-
ian at the Sumner branch, EN-
erson Ave. No., and Olson high
way, should retire after complet-
ing almost 81 years as librarian,
during Brotherhood Week.
Under Miss Foods guidance
Sumner library has gained a wide
spread reputation as being one OF
the best Libraries in serving the
needs of the community II
serves.
People who use the branch
probably make it one of the most
cosmopolitan in the city. In sd-
dition to persons of all creeds and
races, people from the extremely
wealthy to those in dire poverty
use the branch.
Miss Rood in her quiet and un-
obtrusive way has gone about
making everyone feel that the
library is theirs and Tuesday
nights reception at the branch
manifested that feeling.

Tuesday nights reception
honoring Miss Rood was quite a
bit different than the usual type
of affair that honors a person re-
firing.
In observing the crowd, one
couldn't halp but feel that In some
way or manner something the
librarian had said or done had az
fected their life in some way and
that they would forever be indebt-
ed to her because of 1t.
Then there was the feeling Of
belonging. all during the evening
people were overheard saying. II
wonder what became of the chair
I used to sit in by the fireplace ?"
or Il remember when I got my
first library card"
Miss Rood is extremely modest
about herself but on the other
hand she is very proud to tell you
about the library and how 1t
serves the community.
Preached Brotherhood BY Conduct
Long before Brotherhood Week
was even an idea, Miss Rood was
without preaching or conducting
a noble experiment, teaching
brotherhood on a day to day level
And it's a safe bet TO say that a
great deal Of 1t rubbed off on the
adults and children without them
ever realizing IT,
Before Emanuel Cohen and
Phyllis wheatley were built,
Sumner served for all practical
purposes as a community center
for that section Of the Northside.
