MIAMI, (JTA) = The Florida
State Federation of B'nai Birth
Lodges, composed of 10 lodges in
the state, called on the State In
surance Commissioner and Fire
Marshal last week to issue effec-
tive regulations to implement the
1858 Explosives Control Act
adopted by the Florida LegisIa-
ture.
The federation pointed out that
"B'nai Birth was and is most
interested in the unfortunate
wave Of bombings and dynamit-
ings which occurred in various
parts of our state in 1851, includ-
ing extensive dynamiting of syna-
gogues in the Greater Miami area.
At the time of these incidents our
organization cooperated with the
law enforcement officers as much
as possible in attempting to ap-
prehend the guilty parties, but
we were dismayed to learn and
realize that, through no fault of
theirs, the law enforcement Off
GERS were hampered in solving
these crimes because of the lack
of proper control of the sale and
use of dynamite and explosives. !"
The letter added that proper
enforcement of control Twill
prove a valuable deterrent
against the commission of any
similar crimes in the future and
will invaluably aid and assist law
enforcement officers in appre-
bending any culprits who may at
tempt such acts again"

Yes, that was Segal all right
seen coming out of Holy Trinity
and st. Nicholas. He does get
around among the other religions
and / think that's all to the good
of his Jewish education. He has
been on weekend retreat in a
Catholic monastery; he h a S
preached Sunday serm on in
Methodist church in place of the
minister who was away hunting
pheasants; he has been at re-
QUEEN Masses, as pallbearer for
Catholic friends.
To get around that way might
also be good for Catholics. Pro-
testants and Moslems. That way
they may come TO learn that their
religions are closely related to the
others. and why look down on
good relations. brothers under the
skin. you might say?
Sure enough, Segal had been
attending Sunday services at
Holy Trinity and st. Nicholas and,
since explanation has been de-
manded, it should be said he was
there by. invitation of Mr.. Bardi,
tenor in summer opera in our
town. Mr.. Bardi was singing to
God in the church that Sunday
instead of to Aida as he does in
the opera. Before he became an
opera singer, he was cantor in a
Greek church in Athens Qike one
of our chazanim no less.)
Well. that's how Segal came to
being caught coming out of Holy
Trinity and ST. Nicholas where
he had gone by way Of knowing
other religions than his own. Mr..
Bardi sang his religion in Greek
but Segal could understand him
well enough: since il sounded like
the single voice of mankind sing
ing TO God: like the voice OF Emil
Rosen who is the noble-voiced
chazan of our town. Segal had the
idea that God applauds Rosen and
Bardi equally when they sing TO
Him.
This Greek service was almost
altogether chant, and there was
no sermon; the priest himself, the
Rev. N. Tsaknides Nick, sang
along with Mr.. Bardi. And Segal,
who seldom cares to listen to SER

tells more than any sermon can.

he had to listen TO Billy Sunday

There's still much work to be

One tusker defeated this plan by
keeping the herd jammed so tightly
around him that the mahouts were
unable to pick off the individuals.
The. tusker had to be roped first.
The mahouts tied an especially
attractive cow to a tree some dis

owned 1874 acres on Summerland

half of the tract, in 1910, to Rey-

Press Conference
Saturday, DeMerritt and Brooks
Bateman, general manager of the
district conducted a two hour press
conference at their Pigeon Key
headquarters.
At that time, they hit out sharply
against stories in a Miami news
paper that the district was Slop-
Ipily run. The charges ranged from
reports that Bateman had refused
to open his books for the press to
stories of huge expenditures for
luxury food items.
Bateman denied emphatically
that he had ever denied reporters
any records that he had available.
He pointed out that the detailed
records of his office are sent to
Tallahassee and that they were
available there for reporters.
Surplus Claimed
He said that during his five years
as general manager of the district,
healthy surplus has been shown
annually in road toll receipts.
He said that reporters came to
him for information that he did
not have.
Asked about the situation at Ba.

concession contract there is also
