An AssimiIotor Who
FoVors Intermorridge

10000 Years: A History of Anti
Semitism" is an impressive title.
But it is, mostly, a rambling ac-
count of Jewish history, an hap
hazard search for a solution and
conclusion that is in the re-
jected field: assimilation.
The author, Emil ]. Long, who
was born in Hungary in 1880, who
has been in the furniture business
and in politics, advocates changes
in Jewish procedure. AS the pub
Usher, Exposition Press 1858 4th,
NY 16), predicts, 'this book will
provoke strong reactions for those
who disagree" with the author.
They are mild in their evaluation.
Mr.. Long doesn't have chance
to win Jewish endorsement.
Mr.. Long used poor taste when
he speaks of Jews love for
money. He is historically wrong
when he writes: I'm Jerusalem,
the Judaic priests thought for a
little while that they had killed
Jesus and so had silenced him."
It doesn't even make sense.
But, read this: "To find a place
in the world, the Jew must break
away from the ancient hierarchy
and the official Jews who pre-
sumo to dictate his course of
life and perpetuate his Strange
ness his reputation among non
Jews in many countries as alien
and different The emancl-
pated and assimilated Jews of the
world have freely intermarried
with non-Jewish people, but the
mass of Jews have not and have
continued to marry down through
the ages with their own kind.
This is vestige of ancient trib-
alism, the instinct to keep the
race pure and 'unadulterated,'
and has been one Of the most i'm
portant factors in setting the Jew
apart"
Enough equoted! When man
seeks to lead you to believe that
there is something wrong in
sticking to your own kind, and
ignores the truth that these very
loyalists nevertheless are be-
friending the world, he has miss
ed lot: mainly the truth. The
reviewer does not need a better
reason for rejecting and disliking
this book.

HOME PROJECTS

Each year about this time the
home economics classes start their
home projects. A. minimum of AS
hours is required of each person in
order to pass. A period of about
two to three months is given to
each individual to complete her
project.
A home project may be based on
many different topics. Some are
child care, meal planning and pre-
paratiOn, interior decorating, per-
sOnality improvement, sewing, and
many other interesting things.
A home project not only teaches
the student how to use her time
and money wisely but is helpful to
her in future hOmemaking. Tire
State Department of instruction re-
quires this work to be completed
by all students taking home eco
Monies.

FARM FRONT

Edible fats and oils production
in 1858 is expected to he slightly
down from 1852. However, carry
overs in some of the major surplus
producing countries are larger.
Farmers spend $3OO,OOO,O0O an
nually for pest control materials.
This is about one percent of the
value of all farm sales.
First the treatment for mastitis
is better dairy herd management,
says the Delaware Agricultural
Extension Service.
Wasting the fertility in manure
is just as foolish as burying a sack
of fertilizer in the barnyard.
Manure produced by a dairy COW
each year contains $50 worth of nj
trOgen, PHOSPHORUS, and POTASH
UNI.
Dairy Herd Improvement AssO-
citation herds in 1851 had over one
million COWS on test. These COWS
averaged 9195 pounds milk and $40
pounds fat as compared with 1926
pounds milk and 211 pounds fat for
the average COW in the United
States.
Four million cows, or II percent
of all cows in the United States,
were bred by artificial dissemination
in 1852.

JUNIOR CLASS
CANDY SALE

The junior class has been selling
minis for the past two weeks. The
money goes in the class treasury,
and the students receive personal
credit for the amount of candy they
sell.
This annual affair of all junior
classes is one of the easiest ways
for them to earn the money which
they need.
The. money earned by the class
goes toward various activities
which they have planned for the
next two years. The Junior-Senior
Prom, which they sponsor this
year, and the New York trip,
which they will take in their
Senior year. are two big activities
which will take much planning and
money.

cONVENES

On Thursday, March 9Th, the Mil
ford High School Student Council
held a special meeting to discuss a
possible canteen. The discussion
was followed by a vote declaring
the students support of such a
project. The proposal is to be pre-
scented to the P. T. A. for approval.
Previous attempts at canteens
have failed because of a lack of
student participation.
Student Council members were
requested to attempt to further stu

recently established to consider
teen-age problems, finding their
cause and solutions.

Arctic Sufuri

The average traveller may think
it too close to dead winter to con-
template a trip to Spitzbergen and
the Land of the Midnight Sun.
But if the last several years are
any guide, at least one summer
time cruise from New York to the
North Cape will be announced any
day now.
Famous cruise ships have made
the run across the Atlantic in
these postwar years, with Scan
danavian ports as added attrac-
tions. At any rate, Norway already
has announced plans for series
of midnight sunland tours from
Oslo and Tromso. even giving
specific departure dates and prices,
and listing places the most adven-
turous Of tourists have not yet

But such details as these can

foxes.
In and around the waters of
Eastern Spitzbergen and a group
of Arctic islands the Norwegians
call the Svalbard, the hunter finds
the midnight sun both incidental
and beautiful.
Across 18th PoroIIel
The expedition begins at Tromso,
which is easily reached by plane
or express coastal steamer. Shops
there can fill in the American
hunter on necessary additions to
his equipment and expert advice.
A four-day. cruise aboard the
Lyngen provides a scenic prelimi-
nary in sailing across the 18th
parallel and into the spectacular
Ifjords of Western Spitzbergen.
At the mining capital of Long
year City, the party boards the
Auxiliary cruising ketch Hayella,
manned by hardy and knowing
Norwegian seamen. The vessel,
with diesel power, was built last
year especially for Arctic sailing.
Quarters aboard are described as
comfortable. Latest navigational
equipment includes a radio tele-
phone.
Seven two-week expeditions are
planned for parties of not more
than four hunters, beginning in
mid-June and continuing into late
August. We know the price is
about $700, but there are many
details we haven't dug into-such
technical information as to the
best type of gun, clothing and
such. But the Norwegian National

has additional information. The
