Number of
Geauga Polio
Cases Drop

Geauga'S polio record h S
summer is the best it has been
in six years, DR.. w. C. Ed
mundS, head of the G u g a
county health department, an
nounced today.
1.-The decrease in the num-
ber of county polio cases is
not because of any effort on
our part" DR.. EdmundS said.
Perhaps, because of the great
number of cases in the p a
years, there is a crest deal of
immunity in the county"
TWO CASES of the diesase
both of a non parlytic ma
ture, have been reported to the
health department this summer
jeanne Cathan, 10-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. James
Cathan Of rt. 422, Auburn, was
to return home yesterday from
City Hospital, Cleveland, where
she was taken August 81.
The second case was that of
a Columbus woman, 21-year-old
Susie Olewiler, who was taken
i'll while visiting at the home
of her brother at Lake Lucerne
MEANWHILE Mrs. Lucille
Harms of Burton, chairman of
the local chapter of the Ma
tional Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis, said: "Geauga coun-
ty may be fortunate enough to
escape a severe outbreak of
polio this year, but the local
chapter of the National Foun-
dation for Infantile Paralysis
is maintaining an alert against
this possibility"
Chapter funds are becoming
exhausted due to patient care
of previous years.
Whether we are in for SER
iouS trouble with polio h S
year, said Mrs. Harms, it is
at present impossible to say.
The only thing we can do and
shall continue doing is to make
every possible preparation to
meet an attack.
THE HELP of every Geau-
gan is needed, she continued,
to make the Emergency March
of Dimes a success. Envelopes
for contribution have been mail
ed throughout the county. With
limited supply everyone may
not receive one. In that case
donations may be mailed to
to the First National Bank of
r. F. D. l, Chagrin Falls, or
the director, Mrs. K. Oldham,
Burton.

the win. On account of little
league rules he was unable tc
pitch more than three innings
He was relieved by Bill Moss
in the fourth inning and Bill
needed help in the sixth inning
when he was relieved by Dor
Starr. The combined efforts Of
the three pitchers yielded two
runs on four hits, eleven strike
outs, and only one walk. Altar
Singerman went all the way fol
the losers giving up three runs
on five hits, striking out six
and Allan did not issue a walk
He was very poorly supported
in the field, as his team made
seven errors.

DORTMUND, (JTA) - Twenty
members of a wartime Dortmund
police unit were acquitted this
week by a local court of charges
of numbering Jews in the Warsaw
Ghetto. The unit, 'Dortmund Po-
ice Battalion 61," was assigned to
guarding the ghetto.
The court ruled that because of
their level of intelligence and edu-
cation they did not know that they
were committing crimes when
they executed Jewish hostages in
the ghetto on orders from super
ior officers. The 20 former officers
and non-commissioned officers
were indicted after many years of
representation. They were repre-
sented by IL defense attorneys.
The entire German press, with
the exception of the local BORT
mund newspapers, ignored the
trial and acquittal. The local
press reported that witnesses had
testified that the policemen,
members of a special guard bat
talon in the ghetto, shot Jews as
a sport and tailed the number of
their kills on mess hall doors and
walls. Several of the defendants
had actually confessed before the
trial.
A notable feature of the trial
was the testimony of policemen
and other witnesses who had a
remarkable loss of memory in the
witness stand, asserting they
could not remember" details
which they had included in sign
ed statements two and three years
ago. Only one witness, conscience
stricken and now blind former
member of the battalion, testified
as he had done previously. The
court ruled him incompetent.

Jews in Holland Challenge
Archbishop on Girls
Abduction

THE HAGUE, = (JTA) - The
boards of the Dutch Ashkenazi
and Sephardic communities of
Holland took issue this week with
statement by Archbishop AL
frink, ranking Catholic official in
this country, advising the Jews
to call off their search for Anneke
Beekman, Jewish girl who has
been spirited away by her Catho-
lie fostermother, and to renounce
their claims to the child.
The Archbishop, responding to
an earlier appeal by the Jewish
community, issued a statement in
which he advised the Jews to
give up the campaign to find the
child, who had been placed in the
care of a Catholic woman during
the Nazi occupation to keep her
out of the hands of the Germans.
He said that the community
should not ask the Catholic wo-
man, who baptized the child
seven years ago, to surrender her
against the child's free will.
The Jewish leaders challenged
the Archbishop's use of the
phrase "free will" of Anneke
Beekman who, it was charged,
had been baptized seven years
ago and then hidden from the
Jewish community with the COLA
boration of Catholic institutions.
The Jewish community also noted
that a Dutch court had stated that
it was not in the interests of the
child to remain in a Catholic fos-
ter home.
Meanwhile, Dutch police have
arrested Mrs. Elizabeth Langen-
dyk Van Moorst, one of the two
Catholic women who acted as fos-
ter mothers of the Beekman child
and her former guardian. Cues
toned in her home at Silversum
by detectives, Mrs. Van 'Moorst
denied all knowledge of the girls
whereabouts or those Of Mrs. Van
Moorst's sister, who spirited the
child away from a Belgian school
just as the authorities were COM
ing for Anpeke.

puff and turn red.
"Und du hast cement" COM
mented her husband, "das ich lex
honik."
l think religion is the reason
that most Jews do not drink to
excess. Not that the Jewish reli-
gion frowns on drinking. AS I
have said before. il sometimes
even makes it obligatory. But in
a peculiar way. il has a tendency
to thwart overindulgence in much
the same way as it interfered
with the storied Jewish highway
man.
You remember the story. He
was a poor Jew and he needed
money badly and finally decided
to become a highwayman. So he
went to a lonely road waiting for
his first customer. He waits and
waits, but there is not soul pass
ing the road. Finally it begins to
get late and he has to "daven
mincha." AS luck would have it,
just as he begins standing
"shmona esray," a man passes,
but of course, he is not permitted
to interrupt this prayer.
It's a long time between pass
ers-bY and finally when another
man does pass. he realizes he
can't do anything again. because
he has a "nilchige" knife and you
can't cut up a man made of meat
with a "milchige" knife.
=
Seriously, l believe that this
and kindred facts account to some
extent for Jewish moderation.
Take the Chassidism for instance.
With them, drinking has received
actual encouragement. They
deem it mans duty to be joyful,
that God does not listen to pray
ers which are recited humdrum,
that we must put spirit and elan
into our praying and they even
think that when a person can't
summon this joyful spirit from
within himself, it is right to call
in the assistance of the bottle.
