Mrs. Alan Maphis, county
membership chairman for the
YWCA, stated that local YWCAS
throughout the nation are max
ing an active effort to increase
membership during this centen-
NAL year, and that the tea in
Kensington is the first of a series
of activities in Montgomery
County through which it is hoped
to increase membership in the
county.

necessary to conduct youth pro-
grams throughout the county. Y
Teen Clubs and teen-age pro
gram groups. of the YWCA are
active in the four YWCA centers
of kensington, Norbeck, Silver
Spring and Bethesda.

Saturday night at the firehouse.
Mrs. Ralph Berry is the YWCA
staff person carrying the respon-
sibility for these groups and
Mrs, w, H. Marshall is chairman

Boat Bakers Entry to Get
Attention at Boating Show

Baltimore's first authentic
boat show, the Chesapeake Bay
Boat Show, to be presented at
the Fifth Regiment Armory
from Feb. % through Feb. q,
will offer a wide and vast
variety of features in the marine
line. There will be small and
big craft, streamlined, sea-going
boats and the latest models for
1855.
While it appears as a toss-up
as to which exhibit will attract
the greatest amount of attention
during the six days of the show,
one that most likely will draw a
good share of interest is the dis
play of Nodded Products of
Cockeysville, Md, whose unique
manufacturing operations have
extended throughout the east,
midwest and part of the Pacific
Coast.
You might call E. C. Hewitt
and his partners, c. A. Abrams
and c. E. Wingo, bakers" in
the trade. This baking" pro-
cess has developed a type of
boat making that was pioneered
by Nodded Products soon after
World War II, when the company
was founded by the three men
who had gained their experience
during the conflict by making
plywood aircraft parts, boats and
other equipment for the armed
forces.
Building one of the companys
outboards, which include ID diff
ferent models ranging from a
150-pound, II footer to 16-
footer with two cockpits, begins
with securing 1 /16 inch thick
strips of Philippine mahogany.
The strips are three to five
inches wide and from four to
five feet long, depending on the
size of the boat to be built. The
veneer strips are selected for
grain pattern and the more at
tractive configurations are used
for the hull faces.
The strips are next coated with
a plastic adhesive (phenol for
maldehyde) and are stapled in
several layers over a solid form.
This form, known as mandrel,
is made in the exact shape of the
inside dimensions of the model
being built. After five or six
layers have been stapled to the
form, depending on the size of
the boat, the embryo boat is en-
cased in an alright rubber bag
and placed in the "oven". This
"oven" is a steam-heated cham
Der called an autoclave and the
embryo boat is "cured" for about
As minutes at 270 degrees F.
The resin impregnated in each
of the mahogany strips melts
under the heat and floats into
every opening of the veneer as

Always Give Breaks to Other
Car in Storm Season, Warming

ping. Every operator knows from
his own experience that it is not
always possible, even on dry
pavement, to stop when green
light suddenly turns to red. The
breaks should be given to the
car in motion.
ut is well also to remember
that while the highway depart
ments of the various states per-
form a tremendous job in clear
ing the roads of snow and keep
ing dangerous locations cindered,
changing weather conditions pile
up hazards faster than highway
workers can keep abreast of
them. The motorist should never
assume that he won't encounter
slippery stretches of pavement"

Easy does it" says the Key
stone Automobile Club in advis-
ing motorists to beware Of the
pitfalls of driving during this
storm season.
1.-THE trouble with a lot of u.s."
said Edward p. Curran, Safety
Director of Keystone, 'is that we
are inclined to minimize the dang
er of slippery roads and conse-
quently drive at a speed faster
than conditions warrant. Slower
and more cautious driving will
aid greatly in preventing acct
dents and most certainly will les
sen the effects of unavoidable
crashes.
Recently, we have noted vast
ly increased damage in accidents
which ordinarily would have re-
suited in slight loss. The reason
is that cars out of control on
slippery roads strike with ire
mendous force. Collisions at in
tersections which under ordinary
circumstances would have result
ed in nothing more serious than
dented tenders become major ac-
cidents when the condition of the
highway makes brakes ineffec-
tive.
Another point to keep always
in mind is that a green traffic
light permits forward progress,
but does not command it. There
is no compulsion on a driver to
start Immediately on change in
signals when it should be obvious
that cars approaching from the
side may have difficulty in STOP

A. A. ROBACK


Head Psychological Dept Emerson College
Author of First Comprehensive History OF
Yiddish Literature
AS staunch and constant supporter OF the
cause of Yiddish culture since my student
days at McGill and Harvard, have often been
asked why 1 cling to a mOribund language
and literature Why, am asked, not help TO
build instead a Jewish culture in English ac-
cessible to the youth and in keeping with the
spirit of our country? And, my interrogators
continue, why not count on Hebrew for sus-
tanning Jewish tradition, with Israel as the
source of inspiration and activity?
In regard to these questions, let us begin by
asserting that any ethnic group, IN order 10
survive, must possess an active culture; tnat
is must be creative This assertion applies
with added force to a people like the Jews
who have to dwell among other nations. He'll
gion has undeniably been of great service IN
keeping the Jews alive as group, but rell-
gion. in itself is not creative whatever else IL
is Religion is observed While the Jewish rell-
zion has been great influence in providing
the scaffolding for culture, like rellglons IN
general however it can not be regarded as
possessing the creative elan essential toward
the building of a culture Jewish culture in
cludes religion, to be sure, but it consists
largely of the specific languages which the
Jews developed and the literatures that grew
up in these.
That great literature in Hebrew has risen
through the centuries no one can question:
but for over 1000 year Hebrew has not been
the peoples medium of expression. When Is
rael leaders wish to make themselves under
stood they must resort to either Yiddish or
the language of the country they happen to
be visiting
But at this point these questions Will arise;
But is not Yiddish dying, if not already dead?
Whv bother with a corpse? If Hebrew is be-
yond our reach, why not adopt English as
our language and create Jewish culture IN
tongue which will be understood by at least
half of Jewry and which holds first place
among the worlds languages?
Let us suppose that Yiddish is supplanted
nv English. Gone is the picturesque and elo-
ouent Yiddish idiom, the pithy provero o.
which epitomizes not only thousand years OF
Jewish history and martyrdom, but which
captured the tears of joy and anguish, the
moods of exaltation ard depression (but
never despair).
Let us ask ourselves what with all the
great opportunity open to Jewish writer's
have American Jewish novelists, poets, and
plavwrites contributed to Jewish culture? The
