name Noah mean?
ANSWER: There are various
interesting derivations for the
name Noah as given to the hero
of the great flood. The Midrash
tself, in one source, gives five rea-
sons for his name, claiming that
Noah caused ''rest" in the sense
that it was at his time that the
rebellion of the animals against
man came to an end; or that the
earth then enjoyed rest from the
devastating waters of the sea; or
because the Ark came to a rest
while he was in it.
According to others, this name
indicates the quality of being
pleasant" -because his sacrifice
was considered pleasant to the
Lord. Some connect the name
Noah with the Hebrew verb
meaning left behind" and that
Noah came by this name because
he was left behind alive while
others persisted in the destructive
flood. According to another Mid
rashic source, Methusaleh called
his grandson Noah because the
earth was appeased. In this sense,
Noah means "appeasement." Le-
mech called him "Menachem"
which means consolation" be-
cause he brought "consolation" to
a troubled world after the flood.

QUESTION: What is the mean
ing of the name "Ephraim"?
ANSWER: The derivation of the
name Ephraim is mentioned in
the Bible. It is written that Joseph
had two sons and that he called
the second son Ephraim because
ed hath made me fruitful in the
land of my affliction" Genesis
41:52). Ephraim thus comes from
a root meaning ito be fruitful or
Ito multiply"
= !" = = ::
QUESTION: What is the mean
ing of the name Miriam?
ANSWER: Several sources have
been mentioned for this name.
Some claim that it stems from a
root meaning bitterness" The
reason for this strange connection
is that Miriam was born in days
of bitterness caused by the slav-
cry in Egypt. Some connect it
with a root meaning exalted"
and attach the meaning of the
name to her because she was an
exalted personality in Israel,
being the sister of Moses and
prophecies in her own right.

He said the people Of Israel are

The minister described the re-

Yesterdays sessions Of the
conference were also addressed

EpiscopoIions to Debate
Bigger Missionary Fund

posed that one bishop at q con-
vention does not speak for the
church.
An expanded missionary pro-
gram would affect not only Latin
America. the Pacific Islands.
Okinawa. Alaska. Japan and
Liberia, but also the 48 States.
Church officials have told the
convention it must face the
facts" of "the decay of the
lehurch's work IL the heart of
the city" Expanded TV and
radio programs have been pro-
posed to WOO the workers in So
called time clock communities"
Change in Name Proposed
Thus far action at the con-
vention has been mostly pre-
Iliminary work before the major
decisions that come UP this week.
However, definite action has
been taken to tighten restric-
tons on nonreligious music for
services such as weddings. Moves
to change the church's name,
and to ease up its marriage and
divorce cannons have failed.
A proposal to give women a
vote in the all-male House of
Deputies has failed. but there is,
said to be some chance 1t may
be revived
The House of Bishops voted to-
give the presiding bishops posi-
ton its first raise Ito $4,000 a
year, since 1907.
But no action has been taken
yet on the church treasurer's
suggestion that pay raises are
needed right down through the
ranks of bishops and clergy to-
the most humble clergyman and
missionary"
Racial Segregation Issue
Officials say the question Of
racial segregation-which led the
presiding bishop to shift the
convention here from Houston,
ITex.-"seemS to be pretty def
initely dead" at this convention.
TT could crop up when the
final decision comes on picking
"a convention site for 1858, but
we don't think it WILL" aspokes-
man said.
New York City and Miami,
Fla. have put in bids for the
1858 meeting. A spokesman for
the Miami Beach convention
committee said he win assure
delegates that all races will be
treated equally II the meeting
is held there.
Among the numerous matters
to be acted on during the final
four days are proposals to UNDER
take a church wide campaign
against alcoholism and to buy
an atomic reactor to donate for
use In the Far East.

Finance Minister Levi Eshkol
of Israel asked last night that
American Jews lend Israel $l10
million.
He asked that subscriptions Of
$35 million in Israeli bonds be
made in the next four months
so Israel can absorb the immi-
grafton of $4,000 Jews from
North Africa where their lives
are endangered.
The rest-$75 million-would
be subscribed in 1856. He stressed
the Importance Of economic aid
to Israel so it can maintain
strong defenses against attack.
Israel has to be built the
hard way. with one hand on the
pillow and the other still holding
the rife" he said. Mentioning
the recent fighting along the
GAIA border, he said:
II believe these events serve
-. to remind the Egyptians that
the road to cheap glory does not
run at the GAIA border, and that
he who plays with the sword may
get his ears cut off,"

In addition to the problem Of
the security for her borders, Mr.

HONOLULU, Sept. 10 (P.-
The 5Sth Protestant Episcopal
convention was ready today to
tackle the key item before tia
budget for a stepped-llo mission
airy program both at home and
abroad.
For the past week, the House
of Deputies and House of Bish-
ops have been acting on meas
ures ranging from banning
secular music in churches to
raising the presiding bishops
pay.
In an atmosphere akin to that
of a state legislature. they have
listened to many speeches
mostly with an underlying theme
that the church must expand its
missionary program. not only
overseas but also in the 48 states.
1900 at Convention
Between now and Thursdays
adjournment they are scheduled
to decide on how much of a pro-
gram the members can afford.
Officials say the budget is sure
to be the largest in the church's
history.
Church services and si4htsee-
ing were expected to I'LL the pro-
gram tomorrow but, as one OH
cial put it, Monday the race to
the finish begins"
The more than 1900 bishops,
delegates and women will meet
in a joint session Monday morn
ing to hear detailed recommen-
sdations of a committee which
has been .studying budget pro-
aposals for the next three years.
Alternative yearly budgets of
Sc, 81 and So million have been
suggested by a church admins
tration. The bulk of the larger
figures would 60 for missionary
work.
The cry for an expanded pro-
gram was sounded week ago in
the keynote address by the pre-
siding bishop. the Rt. Rev. Henry
Knox Sheriff..
Criticism of Catholics
It was a cry for a larger pro-
gram by two bishops from Brazil
that created a delicate situation
for the convention.
1t started early in the week
when one of the bishops made
remarks critical of the Catholic
Church in Latin America. A
local Catholic bishop issued a
strong reply and Catholics fired
off letters to the editors of local
papers.
Episcopal officials quickly
moved to smooth relations. The
second Brazilian bishop deleted
some even stronger criticism of
the Catholics from his talk. Ha-

Making Pottery
For WILLIAMSBURG
Even the Flows Must Be Perfect
BY PHYLLIS F. KRAMER

GONE men spend their on
- hours building m odel
ships. others putter with
their cars, but for the past
year or SO, James Maloney, jr.,
has been spending his spare
time attempting to reproduce
q 3O0-year-old piece of VIII
liamsburg pottery.
Called a turkey plate, the
original platter was used In
the Colonial capital from 1869
to 1850. The restoration au-
thorities thought reproduc-
tions Of the platter would be
q good item for tourist con-
sumption, and asked Mr.. Ma
loney to reproduce 1t. But Q
reproduction for the restora-
tion must be q perfect copy,
even to the flaws In the origi-
nal. Thus, because Of the ex-
acting standards he must
meet. Mr.. Maloney has a good
many turkey plates around
his shop which aren't quite
satisfactory. He relaxes from
his platter making, therefore,
by trying to copy other
pottery.
Mr.. Maloney already has re-
produced Scrafito and Dot
ware pieces for the reStora-
ton and supplies much Of the
pottery used and sold there.
Since his shop Is at Light
foot, just eight miles from
Williamsburg. the clay he
uses Is almost exactly like the
clay the colonists used to
make their mugs, bowls and
dishes. The pottery he makes
Evening star., 1955-11-27

by hand from this clay Is
finished and glazed the same
way pottery was finished 800
years ago.
When the depression hit, Mr..
Maloney had just graduated
from school and was hunting
q job. The only work he could
fnd was as an apprentice
potter-a job he was to find
Just right. In the middle sos,
he went to work in Char
lottesville, making pottery for
Monticello, the home of
Thomas Jefferson. In 1898, he
moved to Lightfoot and set
up his own shop. His father,
James, ST., a retired Naval
Gun factory machinist, his
brother -in-law and even his
1l-year-old son Freddie help.
The beautiful pieces that
Mr.. Maloney makes don't Just
happen. They are made with
all the care and experience
that q real craftsman can put
into his work. First, the clay
has to be dug from the vein.
It then Is put into a machine
that looks like something out
Of q science fiction novel. 1t
grinds, tosses and refines the
clay till all the air Is driven
out and it's ready for use on
the wheel.
The potter's wheel he uses
Is similar to wheels used 1000
years ago. The only modern
ization Is a motor Mr.. Ma
loney added to make the
wheel spin faster and truer.
The clay Is thrown" onto the

The fires are Lit, and the en-
trance is sealed. After Just the
right amount of time, the fires
are extinguished. and the kiln
allowed to cool.
The mechanics of glazing
are not difficult, but the mix
ing and blending of glazes for
special colors or effects usu-
ally Is a secret process. For
his work on the reproductions
for Colonial Williamsburg, Mr..
Maloney experimental with
many glazes until he hit on

wheel, water is sprinkled over
1t and the process Of making
a pitcher, pot or vase begins.
Strong fingers work the clay
and raise it to its approximate
finished size and shape. Then
1t Is smoothed, shaped and
trimmed. In a few minutes. a
shapeless lump Is transformed
into q graceful object.
After drying, the pottery is
fired for the first tune. In a
kiln he built himself, Mr.. Ma
loney stacks the dried objects.

the right combination. After
the glaze is applied, the pot
terry Is put back into the kiln
for another firing. The final
step is to scrape of the rough
edges and wipe each piece
with a soft cloth.
Glassware reproductions for
Williamsburg come from West
Virginia; the china is made in
England, but the pottery, as
it did nearly 800 years ago,
comes from just down the
road.
