there is no regular rabbi; where
there is a Jewish chaplain in the
area, he may serve a dozen Jew
ish groups or more, and while he
is away one of the members fills
in to conduct services.
There is. however. a tremen-
dous enthusiasm. a love for tradi-
ton. a desire to give TO and get
from the service as much as pos
sible. and this spirit would distin-
guish any congregation anywhere.
What these CT congregations do
not have is the normal sources of
supply for religious items, prayer
books, kosher foods and the like.
They get these necessities from
the National Jewish Welfare
Board (JWB), as part of JWB's
year-round, worldwide program
of religious and morale service to
Jewish men and women in uni

form. It is JWB's Commission on
Jewish Chaplaincy which recruits,
endorses and serves the Jewish
chaplains who minister to these
congregations.
So the reports that come back
to JWB from the congregations
with the strange names make up
an inspiring bit of the current
history of American JewrY. It
was a group Of American Jews
who set up the First Hebrew
Congregation Of the Arctic" on a
windy desert of ice that was to
become famous as Thule. our
northernmost outpost. The first
word from this little synagogue
was a request TO JWB for Pass
over supplies. In Pusan. Korea.
Jewish GIs gathered together TO
form Beth Nah V'nad. the House
of the Wanderer." for they had
been shifting back and forth
across the Korean Peninsula. And
while the congregants wander.
and receive new assignments in
far-off places. the congregations
remain for those who arrive.
At times these GIs, with that
special humor that American
fighting men have become noted
for, have given their congrega-
tons names which might well
grace a BIG or heavy tank.
Thus there are the "Bayonet
Bentschers" of the 7th Division,
and the Lightning Litvaks" of

HIGH HELLS CANYON dam GOES ON ADDING Benefits
DESPITE ITS HIGHER COST

But everything considered, assum.
| ing Costello's cost estimates to be
approximately correct, which project
is better? The high dam that costs
1920 per kilowatt of prime power?
Or the three smaller dams that will
cost 1878 per kilowatt?
One answer is to build the project
that gives the lowest per-unit cost
even though this dam might mean
failure to develop the rivers full
power potential and lose forever sew
eral hundred thousand kilowatts Of
badly needed power.
Another answer is to go on building
dams-more of them or bigger ones
until the last dollar of additional in
vestments no longer yields more than
a dollar of additional benefit
The high dam proposed for Hells
Canyon is neither too big nor too
expensive, if you accept this second
standard of evaluation. For as FPC
itself says, "The additional amount
of power that could be produced by
the high Hells Canyon project would
have benefit-cost ratio of about
one-to-one." In other words, the.
high dam, costing $388,570,000,
would still id one dollar of benefit
for every dollar it cost, the commits
sion says.
But even if you're looking at these
two rival Hells Canyon projects from
the standpoint of lowest per-unit
cost, Idaho Power Company's plan
might not be the one you would
choose, despite it's lower cost per
Silowatt of prime power capacity.
This comes about because of GER
ain peculiarities in private utility |
1t will pay us to take |
closer look at them.

New records in job placements for
a single month were set by offices of
the Montana state employment service
i'm August, according to Chadwick H.
Smith, chairman of the unemployment
compensation committee, of which the
employment service is major divi-
sion.
A total of LOTT jobs were filled in
August by applicants furnished from
the % offices and state teacher sec
tion of the agency. Highest previous
record was 1862 in August, 1858;
last year there were 1902 job place
ments made in August.
Hires for farm jobs, Smith said, ac-
counted for 1858 of the deluge of
placements, while industry, commerce,
and professional service absorbed
4,708. Result was depletion of the
labor supply until only 2,665 re-
manned in the work-applicant files
of the employment service. A year
ago there were $500 waiting call
to work. Low point for the reserve
was 1888 in September, 1862.
