as we have never worked before,
to help realize their dream; to
increase understanding and equal
ity of opportunity among all our
citizenry, to protect the civil rights
of all Americans regardless of race
or religion or ancestry, to main
tain the separation of church and
state, to secure our freedom of
thought and Speech-even our free
dom to be mistaken-against those
who seek through fear and violence
to destroy them.
If we are grateful for the past,
we must maintain the traditions
which filled those 300 good, re-
warding years with meaning. We
must understand and implement
the Tercentenary's thought-provok-
ing theme: Mans opportunities

MOLLY LYONS BAR-DAVID
went to Palestine from Canada in
1896, at the age of 26. She lived
through the Arab riots, the end
of the British Mandate, the birth
of Israel and the War of Inde-
pendence. Today she makes her
home in a comparatively quiet Je-
rusalem with her husband and
three daughters, and writes a de-
lightful, friendly and Informative
monthly column for the "HadasSah
Newsletter.
Last year she wrote my Prom
ised Land" an account of her ear
ly life and her experiences in Is
Irael, which has been published by
G. P. Putnam's Sons. 1t is a
good book for many reasons, but
chiefly because it tells a large
public the things we all seem to
be wanting to know.
Reviewers have had nothing but
praise for the book, speaking of it
as a document of history, an init
mate picture of life in a pioneering
state, a warm and nostalgia per-
sonal account of ambitions full
filled.
To me it was all of this and
more. 1 recalled the prayerful

Nomination to Senate
Asked bv Million Moss

Advocating redistribution OF state
sales taxes, Milton Moss has an
nounced his candidacy for state
senator as a Democrat.
Moss said sales taxes are now
distributed in such way as to give
the smaller counties an advantage.
He believes Mricopa county should
receive larger share, thus reliev-
ing the home-owner's tax burden.
Moss, a war veteran, said: with
the control of the legislature vested
where it now is, little has been
done. An aroused public can replace
the ak grinders, the selfish and the
politically inept, and much over
due legislation can be passed"

For Fight at Turner's S
Against Jimmy SIade

Archie Moore, q big favorite
among Washington fight fans
while climbing to the light
heavyweight championship, will
appear in his first fight here
since winning the title in a bout
set for April IA at Turner's
Arena.
It will be a Wednesday night
television bout. promoted by
Goldie Ahearn and sponsored by
the Circus Saints and Sinners
Club for it's charity fund.
Moore's opponent in a 10
rounder will be Jimmy Slade Of
Norfolk, a high-ranking light
heavyweight who recently scored
an upset at Turner's with a de-
cision over Heavyweight Clar-
ence Henry.
The Moore-Slade fight will be
a non-title affair, with Slade due
to come in heavier than the
light-heavyweight limit Of ITS
pounds.
Moore fought in Washington
four or five times and always
made a good impression. About
the best-known fighter he tan
gled with here was Curtis Shep-
pard, the big Philadelphia heavy
weight, whom he outpointed in
1947. Moore finally caught up
with a 175-pound champion.
Joey Maxim, late in 1852, and as
expected. lifted the crown from
him.
Slade himself is high-rank-
ing light-heavy hoping for a
crack at the title. He lost a
bout to Moore a few months
before Moore won the title, but
he managed to remain near the
top of the list of challengers.
The current Ring magazine rat
ing list puts him in the No. 3
place. behind Harold johnson,
to whom he lost a bout last year,
and Maxim. and ahead of such
well-liked fighters as Yolande
Pompey, Floyd Patterson and
Danny Nardico.
Like Moore before he won the
title. Slade frequently has to
take on heavywegihts. as in his
bout against Henry here Febru-
airy II. Henry. at the time rated
among the leading heavyweights,
was a 3-to-1 favorite, but Slade
used his speed and buzzsaw tao
tics to work out an upset deci-
sion victory, with one of the
judges voting for a draw.
