Man Of MANY Striking Qualities
Was Rabbi Akiba Eyer Of Prague

explained. "We charge rent
time it is occupied. Most of
the Jews buried here will rise
on the great day of Resurrec-
ton, but according to Jewish
law a usurer will not partici-
pate in the resurrection. He
therefore will occupy the
ground for all time, so we
must charge him more"
The other story about Rab-
bi Eyer is of the night a poor
widow came to him crying
that she was to be evicted the
following day for non-pay-
ment of rent.
Rabbi Akiba Eyer went
down to the Kehilla offices,
but none of the leading Jews
were there. He thought he
would try the Sports Club and
there sure enough he found
all the leaders playing cards.
When they saw the rabbi,
they stopped playing. Hold"
said Rabbi Eyer, "the game
must go on-but the proceeds
I will take to pay the rent of
the poor widow"

By DAVID SCHWARTZ

Asked for a reference on a
certain rabbi applying for a
position, the reply was that
this rabbi was a man of many
striking qualifications, that
he was Ike God, like Moses,
and like Rabbi Akiba Eyer"
famous Prague rabbi who
lived 100 years ago.
HE is like God, because he
is no man. He is like Moses,
because he has an impedi-
ment of speech as Moses had,
and he is like Akiba Eyer, be-
cause just as Rabbi Akiba
Eyer couldn't speak German,
so this rabbi couldn't"
Two other stories are worth
retelling. One is about a mean
and stingy man of Prague.
He had made a fortune by
loans at large interest and
had never contributed to the
Jewish community's charities.
The community, on his death,
demanded more for his burial
plot and the family had Rabbi
Akiba summoned to court to
justify the higher charge.
"It is this way" Rabbi Eyer

Without vaIor

Prof Albert EinStein was
visited by a noted Israeli jour
nalist, who invited him to
come to Israel. "You are so
admired by the people in Is
rael," the venerable scientist
was told by the journalist. II

smilingly, "and this is per-
haps the reason why l prefer
not to show myself to them"
Which recalls DR.. Chain
WeiZmann's answer to an ad-
mirer who asked him in the
pre-Israel days why he did not
settle in Palestine. "You see,"
DR.. Weizmann replied, every
time / am about to make a
trip to Palestine, the neWSpa-
pers in London report: Prof.
Weizmann is leaving for Pal

England, the Zionist press re-
ports: DR.. WeiZmann left for
Palestine. Thus l am no
longer Professor Weizmann'
but DR.. WeiZmann.' On the
ship I hear two Jewish pas
Sengers on the deck talking
about me: You know who he
is? It's Weizmannr So I am
no longer even DR.. WeiZ-
mann but just 'Weizmann.'
Upon reaching the shores of
Palestine, the Jewish steve

ship to carry down my lug

tionately: "Shalom, Chain! 1

President Approves
SIS Million for U. 5.
Christmas Food Gifts

Plans for sending around the
free world approximately 8 mil
lion American Christmas food
packages at an estimated cost
Of $35 million were approved by
President Eisenhower today.
White House Press Secretary
James c. Hagerty told reporters
that a similar program worked
so well last year that 1t was
decided to repeat 1t on an "in-
creased scale" this year.
Food to make up the Christ
mas gift packages win come
from the Governments holdings
Of surplus farm products. It's
cost Is estimated at $50 million.
It will be packaged and shipped
abroad by the Foreign Opera
tions Administration. The Pres
ident today approved the use
of up to SIS million Of its avail
able funds by FOA for this pur-
pose.
Mr.. Hagerty said the Christ
mas packages would be distrib-
uted in free countries In all parts
Of the world through voluntary
non-profit relief agencies abroad.
In another action today Gen.
Eisenhower allocated from avail
able Mutual Security Act funds
100000 for providing needed
medical SUPPLIES to victims of last
springs Danube River floods in
Europe. The countries aided in
clude Yugoslavia, Austria and
Soviet dominated Czechoslovak-
Ia, Hungary and East Germany.

New N Color Tube
Patent Awarded
BY the Asseeioisd Press

Ernest o. Lawrence, atomic
scientist and director Of the Uni
versity Of CALIFORNIA; radiation
laboratory, was granted a patent
yesterday on a new type Of color
television tube.
Patents Commissioner Robert
c. Watson presented the patent
in a ceremony at the Commerce
Department late last week, but
it did not become effective until
publication today in the Federal
Register.
Mr.. Lawrence told newsmen
his invention is a fully COM
patible tube-that is, one which
will receive color or black-and-
white transnissions. He showed
model 81 inches wide, and
said 24-inch tube would soon
be in production.
A reference book supplied by
Mr.. Lawrence said pilot plant
production indicates it should
be possible to mass-produce the
24-inch tube at less than 500
each.
The booklet said the new tube
would provide larger color pic
lures and q more brilliant pic
ture. give Q stable color picture
because OF simplicity of its cir
cults, give q better. sharper
black-and-white picture, and
could be operated with simpler
controls. = s

Watch For Blue Comb

August has sometimes been
called 'blue comb month" by
poultrymen who have learned to
watch for this disease in their
pullets and laying hens during
the hot summer months. Pullets
ready to lay seem to be hit the
hardest, according to Asst Coun-
ty Agent Ralph p. Barwick.
Although no specific cause for
blue-comb has been found, over
heating tends to aggravate the
condition. Flocks in cool, we'll
ventilated houses with plenty of
clean fresh water are not as ike
ly to get the ''pullet disease" as
it is sometimes called.
The disease usually affects a
flock suddenly. Sick birds are de-
pressed, feed consumption drops,
and comb usually turns dark. If
the flock is in production, there is
a rather severe drop in egg pro-
duction. Take some of the sick
birds TO the nearest poultry path
ologist for an accurate diagnosis.
aureomycin, terramycin and strep-
uomycin may be used in the

Q-Is there any way to fix
cracks in cast iron boiler?
"A compound of the kind
used to stop leaks in an automo-
bile radiator will serve to close
small cracks. Larger cracks usu-
ally can be welded.
Q-Can new stucco be put on
top of old?
Ayes, if the old stucco still
sticks firmly to the lath behind
it. 1t should be cleaned thorough
ly before the new material is
applied.
Off shellac is spilled on
clothes, how can it be removed?
A-Sponge the spot with alco-
hol.
Q-Is it possible to paint gall
vanized iron so that the paint
won't flake off?
A-This is difficult to do be-
cause the galvanizing process
leaves a film of zinc that pre-
vents paint from bonding we'll.
Old galvanized metal holds paint
better than new. If galvanized
metal is allowed to weather for
at least six months before it is
painted, good results usually will
be obtained.
Off several small leaks have
appeared in a roof, can it be re-
paired or is it time to put an an
entirely new roof?
"A new roof unquestionably
is needed. Roofing will give many
years of service but wears out
uniformly, and the first leak in a
roof that has had plenty of wear
is a sign that the entire roof COW
ering needs to be renewed. Patch
ing is futile. The recommended
way to reroof economically is to
use asphalt shingles which can
be applied directly on top of most
old materials. This saves the ex-
pense of tearing the worn out
roofing off.
Q-What can be done to keep
moisture from condensing on
cold water pipes?
A-The pipes can be insulated.
Several types of insulating mate
rial can be used. A prefabricated
type is split lengthwise so that it
can easily be placed around the
pipe. Other insulating materials
are wrapped around the pipe. A
third type is mastic compound,
which is applied to the pipe by
hand.
Q-How can birds be kept CT
of chimney?
A-Put a piece of wire mesh
ever over the top of the chimney.
,moke will still be able to es-
cape, but birds and squirrels will
find their way blocked.

Spray With Chlordane To Rid
House And Grounds From Ants

spray WIN CniOruane lo hiu
House And Grounds From Ants
Ants in the house are a nuis-
ance, points out New Castle Coun-
ty Extension Agent Edward H.
Schabinger. To get rid of these
unwelcome pests, use a two per
cent oil-base chlordane spray, the
county agent advises.
Wherever ants are coming in,
spray the outside walls, from the
ground to the windows. Apply the
spray also to the lower part of
window frames and around doors.
If there is a porch open under
meath, or open areas under the
house, apply the insecticide to
those areas.
If the ants have nests inside
the house, spray as near the
nests as possible. Use a small
paintbrush to make sure you get
the insecticide exactly where you
want it.
Ants like cracks or openings in
floors or walls, and will show
up around electrical outlets and
pipes, around sinks, bathtubs,
baseboards, and window frames.
Chlordane is available in nearly
all local hardware or drug stores.
1t is sold under different trade
names, but there will always be
statement on the label showing
that the product contains chlor-
dane, Mr.. Schabinger says.
Chlordane sprays have either
an oil or a water base. For in
door treatments, the best choice
is an oil-base spray, because it
dries TO an almost invisible coat
ing. 1t is less likely to cause
spots or stains. Do not use oil
sprays near an open flame, be-
cause they are inflammable, or an
asphalt tile, because they will dis
solve the asphalt. Nor in a lawn
or garden, or on trees and shrubs
because they injure plant life.
Water-base chlordane sprays are
recommended for outdoor use, re
minds the county agent.

Automatic Controls
Guard Power Plant

Irrigation power plants must
often operate unattended many
hours at a stretch. Hence protec-
tive controls are desirable to safe
guard the engine against possible
severe damage, says County Agent
George Vapaa.
Such controls include a high
temperature cut-out switch that
will shut the plant down when
the water cooling system temper
ature reaches the danger point.
There should be also a cut-out
switch in the main oil pressure
line feeding the engine lubrica-
ton system, so that when pres
sures go below effectiv levels a
switch cuts out and the plant
shuts down.
A third switch which is often
considered very desirable is a
pressure unit in the pump dis
charge line. In case there is a
line blowout, or pump loses it's
prime, or for any reason fails to
function, the engine shuts down
for lack of line pressure.
These cut-out switches operate
on the ignition system of gasoline
engine units. In the case of Dies
ell engines, there are controls de-
signed to actuate the fuel valve
and thus shut the plant down.
These safety controls are rela-
lively inexpensive and can often
mean the difference between a
complete overhaul or a new en-
gine job to say nothing of the
interruptions in the irrigation
caused by engine failure.

of the Davey Tree Expert Co. This
simply reflects the nations appre-
citation of its beautiful shade trees
and the success of preventive tree
care practices.
If your tree has a small cavity
don't wait until it gets really
large before you call the arboreal
medico. Then it may be too late
for him to pull the patient
through. The smaller operation is
better for your tree and your
pocketbook. If the tree has to be
taken down. this probably will
cost more than the minor surgery
required in the early stages of
decay. Once decay spreads far
into the tree, even the most skill
full scalpel wielder may be unable
to save it, no matter how much
you are willing to spend.
Modern tree moving science
makes it possible to bring to the
home grounds fairly mature trees
to replace ones on which it is un-
desirable or uneconomical to oper-
ate. Al few kinds of trees can't
take surgery. The tree specialist
know just which they are and
will advise you accordingly.

always reflect the benefit of seal
ed film box liners for Golden De-
licious apples, visual and taste
examination and a check of
weight loss of the fruit during
storage showed the value of this
packing method.
Certain precautions must be
taken, however, when fruit is
packed in these liners, the study
indicated. Fruit should be free of
surface abrasions and potential
fungi infection, washed with an
effective fungicide, and handled
carefully to minimize bruising,
as moisture conditions within the
sealed package are conducive to
decay.
