Centennial in Columbus, Georgia

Christians could dream of haven for debtors and
poverty stricken, why not Jews? On the ninth day
of Nissan in 1882, "the Mahamad and Adjuntos' of
Bevis Marks Synagogue of London met and ap-
pointed a committee to look into the matter. 1.-The
three Jewish commissioners succeeded in raising a
relatively considerable amount, but instead of
handing it over to the trustees they spent it in
sending about forty poor Ashkenazi families, whom
they themselves selected, to the settlement of Sa-
vannah which was being prepared for the new
Corners These Jewish immigrants arrived almost
simultaneously with some thirty-five families of
authorized non-JewiSh immigrants whom the truS-
tees had sent" The Jewish immigrants arrived in
July of 1888.
The early Jewish settlers of Georgia were
divided into two distinct camps. There were Portu-
guese Jewish refugees and Ashkenazim. The former
were the "elite" and the social distance between
them and their poorer coreligionistS consider
able By December of 1733 it is estimated that
some fourteen percent of the settlers in Savannah
were Jews Their skills were vital to the develop
ment of the new colony. The medical services of
DR.. Nunez were invaluable. Oglethorpe praised him
in report which he sent to England The trustees
of the colony replied that Oglethorpe was to pay
DR.. Nunez for his services but under no circum-
stances was he or any other Jew to be given land
in the new colony This item of instruction was
happily ignored by Oglethorpe. Land was issued
to Jewish colonists. Their knowledge of wine-pro-
ducing was considered invaluable. They were ex-
pert in silk-raising Some of their farms were
known as showplaces and were exhibited to visitors
with great pride There many honored names.
The Sheftal and Minis families led all the rest. The
first male child of European stock born in the
colony of Georgia was Philip Minis, son of Abra-
ham.
Jews of Georgia fought in all its wars. In the
Revolutionary War, in the Indian upriSingS in the
War of 1912 and in the Civil War there were jew
ish officers and men. Their record has been told
again and again. 1t is fascinating story.

January %, 1855, special day in Column

Jews, many of them recent immigrants, met to
form the congregation known Temple Is

news items dealing with the approaching celebra-
ton. For days many Jewish women had been
baking cakes and cookies for the reception which
would follow services at the Harmony Club. A
communal holiday was in the making.
For days had wandered about the city. I had
been separated from this community both in space
and in time. had never been in that part of the
country before. The earliest annals of Georgia were
better known to than its current people, than its
present-day cultural landscape. The superficial
facts were readily available. The latest American
Jewish Year Book estimated the Jews of Columbus

It begins as dream with utopian overtones A
Scotch entrepreneur had dreamed of establishing
Jewish province in the land of the Cherokees to
accommodate some 100000 Jewish families This
grandiose scheme was to lead to salvation as well
as empire for the Jews and native Indians were to
be converted to Christianity-and every one was to
live happily ever after!

PLAIN TALK.
BIGGER THAN WORDS
BY ALFRED SEGAL

This was written in Brother
hood Week (late in February dur
ing which have been listening to
a LOT of speeches on brotherhood:
and. TO tell the truth. I mYsslf
have given out plenty of words on
that subject in my column in the
daily newspaper with which I am
associated. Eyes. words. words.
words.l
Indeed, such is the value that is
put on words that / have received
an award from the National Con-
ference of Christians and Jews for
all the words / had written for
brotherhood in the past year. At
first, at the formal presentation, !
felt quite swelled up; later l was
reduced to bit of humility. Yes,
I thought, this award is just for
words on brotherhood. Words,
words, words!
Isn't it true that brotherhood
has besn mostly of words? But
maybe some day a word or two Of
mine may catch up with convert
to brotherhood. So I guess I shall
keep on writing for brotherhood.
In the meantime all the hate
peddlers will be staying diligently
on their errands and the whisper
ers will be spewing their poison
on groups, races, religions they
don't like; and the nations will be
making bigger and better H
bombs against each other. But
once a year Brotherhood Week
will be observed with more and
more speeches, and in his columns
this Segal will hopefully keep up
his wordy propaganda toward the
idea of bringing the brothers to-
gether at last, maybe.
Maybe when I finally get TO
those Gates. they may ask me.
well. Segal. what makes you
think you're entitled TO a place in
heaven?"
Of course, I shall try to put a
good face on myself :. ''Well, I
wrote a lot of words for the idea
of brotherhood in my time, and
indeed, once I was given an award
for it"
But. they tell me: Words!
Words! You can't get in here just
by words"
I come. to these melancholy
meditations an account of some
information that suggests the
actual practice of brotherhood,
may really be possible, and, in
deed, is in effect in a part of the
world.
The information comes in let
tar from DR.. Leonard S. Smith Of
Denver. He is public relations di-
rector for the National Jewish
Hospital at Denver. He was telling
me all about that hospital Of its
brotherlY life. its deeds and needs.
Mr.. Smith was saying: truly,
Al, this hospital is brotherhood in
action. It's patients are as nom
Sectarian as tuberculosis germs.
They come from all parts of the
country, live together, get well
together and, I hope, learn some
thing about the great Jewish ira
dition of helping mankind.
THE hospitals support comes
almost exclusively from the
American Jewish community and
I think il is no exaggeration TO
say that Il Is the outstanding con-

Cite Importance Of
Underground Banks

Tulsa.-Undergr storage of
natural gas is becoming more and
more important to gastransmis-
sion or utility companies, accord
mo to a special survey made by
The Oil and Gas Journal. In its
May 16 issue, the Journal reports
that gas is now being stored in
more than 10 depleted oil or gas
fields operated by more than 40
gas companies in IS states.
"These subsurface banks have
become just about as important to
the gas industry as the Federal
Reserve system is to the banking
fraternity" the story says, point
ing out that underground storage
pools serve the gas industry in
three vital ways.
They enable the industry to-:
meet peak demand of its custom
ers; stabilize transmission line
loads on a year-round basis; and
conserve gas which might other
wise be wasted.
About 800 million tons of crude
oil and petroleum products are
transported in the United States
each wear.
