a close look and felt quiver of pride.
Truly Center is of the finest in the entire
United States.
And now, with the project nearly completed Center
leaders organizing the kind of activities program which
our community has always wanted but had for lack
of proper facilities It's wonderful program, embracing
bit of everything and the arts sports swim
ming events appealing to the intellect leisuretme ac-
tivities and almost anything else you can think Of
Equally important it's program drawing into its orbit
all members of family And this it should be- for
the Jewish Center is by design and tradition an nstu-
ton for the enrichment of Jewish family life.
But that brings up important pointright now the
most important point of ALL The Center needs your
membership and your support. Without them it cannot
exist. ,
But it certainly doesn't have to sell itself the basis
of need It sells itself simply the basis OF giving you
your moneys WORTH and For $50 for family with
out children $36 for family with children under 21
you can get years membership.
You would spend that much, nearly so, just for
swimming in public sempubic pools elsewhere The
amount money spent at the Center gives not
only swimming privileges but to muudinous other
activities going on the year around.

It is good to know that, in spite
of all the political maneuverings
by Israels enemies, her friends
both Jew and non-J Jew-are more
stalwart than ever, and their faith
and their help will keep her free.
THE FRENCH, as usual, have
a word for it. We in America have
given our Jewish educational or
ganizations important sounding
names which are descriptive
enough, but a little ponderous. In
Paris, a group was recently organ
lied to further Jewish education,
and it took the name, "The Friends
of the Jewish Child in France"
Now that is very interesting, be-
cause we here have. not always
looked on our Jewish educators as
friends of our children. True. we
have accepted the idea of a Jewish
education as necessary. But still
we are concerned that, in attending
after-school Jewish classes, our
children may not have enough
play-time, or time for dancing les
sons, or-of all things in Arizona
enough sunshine!

The World Over

the children's work was done and
it was good. Another cooperative
neighborhood project had been
completed to the satisfaction of all.
It was with a special feeling of
Joy that We said Kiddush in our
succah that evening. We thought
of all the meetings and all the talk
about good will and inter-faith re-
lations that could easily be boiled
down to this: Work together, and
mutual understanding and respect
inevitably follow.
1T is MANY YEARS since DR..
and Mrs. Walter Clay Lowdermilk
visited Phoenix, but we remember
them with great affection, not only
for their brilliance, not only for
their love of Israel, but also for
their warm friendlineSs as human
beings.
DR.. Lowdermilk, who is an Amer
lean soil conservation expert and
author of the Jordan Valley Author
ity plan, this summer completed
year of service to Israel as soil
consultant for the Food and Agri-
culture Organization. And now he
is remaining in the Jewish state,
where he has been appointed di-
rector of the Haifa Technion'S

gineering.

ed the work. They took a
quick vote to decide who would
hang fruit and who would cut pic
lures, and before 1 could draw
breath to make a few motherly
suggestions, nine busy children
were at work on the patio.
The fruit, only slightly dimin-
ished by hunger on the way, was
soon tied and hung. 1t made a
lovely picture with purple plums,
the punches of green grapes,
the red apple and yellow pears
framed by the green oleander
branches which were woven
through the lattice work to form
the walls of the succah.
The pictorial decorations took
longer. Some of the children, espe-
cially those who were not Jewish,
needed a pattern and a little prac-
tice before drawing a successful
Mogen David. But soon they were
adept at it.

Md. Milk Output
Up, Contrary to
Nation as Whole

Maryland milk production has
been increasing steadily, practical
ly without interruption, for the
last 18 years. This is contrary
to the trend of production for
the nation as a whole. Total us.
production reached a peak of 120
billion pounds in 1945, and drapped
to lis billion pounds last year.
DR.. G. M. Beal, agricultural &C.
onomist at the University of Mary
land, reported this trend in the
current issue of the Maryland
Dairy Production News, published
monthly by the University's Ex-
tension Service.
The States milk production
climbed 60 per cent in less than
two decades, DR.. Beal said. In
1884 the Free States total output
was 769 million pounds. 1t reached
1900 million pounds in 1852. There
were only three years during the
1934-52 period when production did
not increase from one year to the
next.
DR.. Beal predicted that Mary
land milk production would con-
tinue to rise in 1858, since there
was an increase during 1862 in
the number of cows kept for milk
ing purposes, and their production
during the year averaged higher
thansin 1951.-f g
Dr.. Beal explained that the
rising milk production in Mary
land, while contrary to the nation
as a whole, is common to all
states where fluid milk markets
are the primary outlet. Decline
in national output since 1945 has
been concentrated exclusively in
the East Northcentral, West
Northcentral and Southcentral
states. The decline has been more
pronounced in the later two re-
gions, DR.. Beal said, because the
major use of milk in these areas
has been for butter, which has
been facing declining demand.
On the other hand, milk produc-
tion in fluid milk marketing states
such as Pennsylvania, New York
and Virginia has been climbing.
In fact, DR.. Beal said, the entire
North Atlantic region shows a
general increase over the last dec
ade.

thy organization.
Another recent purchase of the

needed. After that it, too, will be
available for some other bedrid-
