T III E P A S T
By CAROLYN LLOYD

A recent Dennis the Menace"
cartoon showed Dennis stepping
on the pedal of water fountain
as his father leaned over catch
ing the full force of the stream
in his face. The picture reminded
me on an embarrassing expert
ence which occurred when 1
visited the World Fair in Chica-
go just several years ago. The
weather was hot and it seemed
impossible to quench ones thirst,
so l was delighted to spot a wa
ter fountain in front of one of the
modernistic buildings. My de-
light turned to puzzlement, how
ever, when l could find no pedal
or button to turn the water on.
/ Leaning over to see if there was
enc concealed in the basin, I
was caught full in the eye by a
stream of water. Howls of laugh
ter came from several spectators
as I backed away, realizing too
late that the fountain was con-
| trolled by an electric beam.
There were many things at that
fair new to a country girl.
Perhaps there are others like
me, who have been embarrassed
by their first contact with a new
evidence of mans ingenuity. 1t is
foolish feeling, for instance, to
approach a glass door such as
some department stores have
with outstretched hand, only to
have the door open before you
touch it. Somehow, anything that
operates without the aid of hui
man hands makes me slightly
uncomfortable. never enter a
self-operated elevator without
visualing myself stuck between
floors with nothing to appeal to
but push button. If I were not
ashamed of being such sissy, l
would walk down five flights OF
stairs rather than step on an es-
calator, for every time l mentally
hurl through space. Perhaps If l
had become accustomed to the
things early in life, it would be
different, but in the towns where
I grew up there wasn't even an
elevator, to say nothing of an
escalator.
There is much discussion now
of another innovation that leaves
me cold-the televised telephone.
There is no end to the compllca-
tons that could arise from this
thing. For instance, a lady is IN
her bath with her hair done up
on curriers', and the telephone
rings, as it always does at such
time; she has two choices-to let
it ring and die of curiosity, or
grab a towel and rush to answer
it. In the latter event, she runs
the risk of shocking a gentleman
who never saw her without
makeup and perfect couture. 1t
is quite possible that had he call
ed for a date he would change
his mind and pretend to have
called just to pass the time OF
dav. That, in turn, could lead to
a decline in the sale of marriage
licenses and eventually to Sc
we're decline in the birth rate.
The televised telephone would
also deprive one of the pleasure
of making faces at the unsus-
pecting person at the other end

TORONTO. Canada. Oct. II.
The United Lutheran Church
| in America brought its 18th BIZ
ennial convention to a close yes
terday by acting upon loose ends
relating to the reorganization OF
the church's structure.
The items voted on by the
nearly TOO delegates Of the
2, ,15O, 000-member church were
chiefly Of q minor nature. One
Of them, directing the executive
board to present a compreh ehensive
plan to the 1856 convention for
providing adequate headQuar-
ters'' for the church's general
agencies. will probably eventually
affect the board Of higher eduS
cation. now situated in WASH
ington.
This board, and the brother
hood with its Offices in Bethle-
hem, Pa, may be shifted some
time in the future to the de-
nominations headquarters house
in New York.
Uniform Practices.
Among the other items voted
were motions seeking more uni
form practices concerning per-
sonnel selection and salaries
throughout the denomination as
well as q centralized purchasing
system.
An interesting action taken
by the convention confirmed the
historic position of the Lutheran
Church in the United States
not to have ecclesiastical titles
for their Offices. The top official
of the United Lutheran Church
has the title of president" :"
Lutheran churches overseas have
bishops.
The commission recommended
continuance of the president"
title by pointing out the church
is set up along similar lines to
the American Government
rather than along an historical
| ecclesiastical pattern. 1t fur
ther noted that the Office is an
administrative one and does not
have spiritual, doctrinal or
theological responsibilities of any
official sort" assigned. If the
title of bishop were to be used.
the statement said they would
be zone of the requisites" Of the
title.
Slow Course Urged.
DR.. Franklin Clark Fry, presi-
dent of the denomination. at
the conventions final session
recommended that a brake be
given to future structural
changes until those approved
here had a chance to be fully
digested."
I'VE have some additional
courses that have not yet been
attacked and will be before us
at the next convention" DR.. Fry
said. "To add to them is rather
intimidating. It would be well to
digest and wait the actions of
the synods on the constitutional
amendments before moving on"
Before the numerous changes
the greatest number of which
are minor although few are far
reaching in their impact upon
the church's government - can
become part of the constitution
they must be approved by two
thirds of the denominations 80
synods. The results will be re-
ported to the 1856 convention at
Harrisburg, Pa.
Final action will be taken on
these changes at this time. The
measures designed to streamline
the cilurch'S organizational setup

Jimmy Slade and Charlie Nor kus. Both fights should be crowd ,pleasers.
 Bobo Olson looked good whipping Kid Gavilan, and al- though he's no newcomer. he should give fight fans plenty of interesting viewing in the coming months. GaviIan also gives fans a few kicks for their green stuff every time he fights.
 Ezzard Charles is fighting Rocky Marciano in June. Rocky is another comparative newcomer who gives fans plenty of thrills when he fights. Rocky should take Ez- gard but we have said for a long time that Ezzard's style will probably bother the champ mc re than that of most fighters he has faced.
 There are some interesting British and German boxers al so on the march, All in all the boxing fans seems in fol the best era he has seen since the Dempsey reign, and Jacl didn't fight very often.
 Somehow the middleweigh and heavy divisions have al ways caught fans imagina tion, and with Olson and Mar ciano defending champs, thes divisions will lose none o their luster. Yet there ar good challengers moving ul in almost every weight divi sion. It looks like the fiftie' might be looked back upon a the golden fifties for the sport !

 The organ was purchased with an accumulation of smal gifts received by the Sister and ear-marked for "chape use" over a period of years, il fact since the Sisters tool over the hospital. It is a source of much pleasure, for it. beautiful tones can be heard in all parts of the building.

Want Egypt
To Leave GAIA

JERUSALEM (JTA) - Is
rael should demand at the
next session of the UN Gen
eral Assembly adoption of a
resolution ordering the Egyp-
tions to evacuate the GAIA
Strip in Palestine, Menachem
Begin, leader of the extreme
nationalist FIerut Party, told
foreign neWSpapermen.
Mr.. Begin distributed a
proclamation" which he said
spoke in the name of "all
citizens of Israel" He insist
ed the Egyptians must leave
GAIA, where their presence
is like a pistol aimed at Is
raePs heart" The strip, he
said, must be "freed of for
eigners." Those Arabs who
may want to remain in the
strip should be allowed to stay
on as "full-fledged citizens of
Israel, with rights equal to
all other citizens" he said.
Mr.. Begin asserted he does
not want or believe in preVen-
tive war against Egypt. He
protested against gifts of
arms being given Egypt by
the Western Powers, and ridi-
culed the notion that those
arms would ever be used by
Egypt against Soviet attack.

Hotel Owner
Protests Bias

MIAMI BE ACH - A
Jewish part-oWner of a hotel
has sued to have the hotels
restrictive clause lifted be-
cause he alleges it has cut
the property's income, re-
ports the National Post.
Henry Hohauser, a local
architect, claims in his suit
that Griam, Inc, in which he
owns stock, leased the Blue
Horizon hotel in Surfside to
a corporation whom it knew
would change the hotels pol,
icy so as to bar Jews.
HOhauser maintains that
the "un-American restriction
against Jewish guests" has
cut into the income of the
hotel so much that StOckhOld,
ers are receiving no divi-
dends. His suit asks for re-
ceivership and liquidation of

Tells Reasons
For Sanctions
In St. Paul

ST. PAUL, MINI. (JTA).-
Pledges to the United Jewish
Fund and Council here, which
allocates its receipts from
Embarrassing drives to 60 To-
cal, national and overseas
agencies, 'have declined in
an unbroken line" since 1913,
according to Leonard Heller,
president of UJFC. That is
the reason, Heller declared,
the UJFC board has voted to
impose sanctions" on mem
bers of the Jewish cOmmu-
nifty here who have not sup
ported the agencies ade-
quately.
Mr.. Heller issued his state
ment in explanation of the
sanctions" vote by the board
which has aroused considera-
BILE interest around the coun-
try during the past two
weeks. The sanctions" origi-
nally called for board mem
bers and officers of agencies
to forfeit their posts unless
they were deemed to have
contributed their share.
"Our pledge funds have de-
clined from $9340,000 to the
anticipated figure for 1854 OF
$35O,O00. We can only expect
that 1855 will be even lower
unless something can be done
to reverse this trend. We are
conscious of the fact that St.
Paul results are proportion
ately lower than Minneapolis
as we'll as other communities
elsewhere in the country in
the same population cate
CORY.
"It was almost unbelieva-
BILE to many of us that in
some cases members on the
board of the United Jewish
Fund and Council or on COM
mittees and boards of benefi-
ciary organizations had made
no pledge at all or one so ap-
parently inadequate that, in
the absence of some demon
strable reason, the committee
could only conclude that such
persons were actually unsym-
pathetic to the purposes of
the fund itself or to the organ
ization on which they served" "
he said.

Merge Schools

WINNIPEG (JTA) - Two
Jewish schools, one accenting
Yiddish and the other He
brew, decided to merge into
a single all-day school, thus
creating a pilot project in
Jewish education which may
influence the Jewish educa
ton system in other parts of
Canada and possibly the Unit
ed States. The decision to
combine the two schools was
received with widespread sat
isfaction. the com b n d
schools are The FIerZlia Acad-
emy and the River Heights
School for Jewish Children.
Basically, the school will bear
a religious character, and will
offer instruction in both Yid-
dish and Hebrew.

by DR.. Salo Baron, America
foremost Jewish historian.
His two colleagues, an emil
nent Bible scholar and an eX-
pert on Jewish education, did
not dissent.
DR.. Baron presented his
conclusions without qualifl-
cation. even if the Jews did
not really desire to survive,
they would do so despite
themselves" he stated flatly.
He pooh-poohed any idea that
American Jews were doomed
to assimilate, pointing out
that the present vibrant con-
dition of Jewish life in Amer
lea has completely disproved
the gloomy prophecies of 30
years ago.
What the Jewish cOmmun-
ity would be like in the future
was more in dispute. DR.. Rob
ert Cords, professor of Bible
at the Jewish Theological
Seminary, felt that it would
increasingly assume a spirit
ual rather than a secular or
community service character.
It's major Identification would
be with religion. DR.. Israel
Chipkin, of the Jewish Edu-
cation Committee of New
York City differed. He
thought that the distinguish
ing characteristic of the fu
ture Jewish community would
be its concern with education.
He felt that it could hardly
be considered successful until
and when it assumed reSpon-
sibility over that and many
other areas of Jewish life.
