Michigan Bell
Telephone Spends
$28,OOO,O00 For
Rural Areas Better
Service

To bring faster and better tele-
phone service into the rural
areas of the territory il serves.
the Michigan Bell Telephone
Company has spent about S23,-
100000 since the end Of World
War II, statistics of a rural re-
port revealed this week.
Michigan Bell serves about
10000 telephones in rural areas
in the territory, according TO
Hans p. Andreasen. Michigan
Bells farm telephone manager.
The company now brings service
TO about rs out of every 100
rural establishments in Michi-
gan, a climb that has been steady
since the close Of the war and
one that shows a 5 per cent in
crease in Bell-served farm tele-
phones this year
Andreasen said the company
expects to eliminate the remain
ing magnetic, or 'crank-type,'
telephones in its territory in the
next two years. Five magnetic cx-
changes are scheduled for con-
version this year, FIVE in 1856,
and the last three in 1857
The dial telephones are SHOW
ing the crank-type farm inns'ru-
nient into extinction. other inn
provements are also being made
on rural party lines. While there
has been a sharp reduction in
lines serving eight or more par
ties, Michigan Bell has moved
some 10000 rural telephones in
TO urban base rate areas since the
end Of the war

first, Just what does the new word really
mean?
When machines do mans work, that's
discrimination. When they do his work
and control their own operations as we'll,
that's automation.
Ifa piece of equipment slices peaches and
stuffs them into cans, that's mechanization.
If it slices and stuffs but also rejects spoiled
or undersize fruit, that's automation.
In short, automation means completely
automatic control of process. II means
machines that can adjust to changing
conditions of production, correct their
own mistakes, inspect the product they
create and even replace their own worn
parts. Incredible? It's here already. AT the
Ford Motor Co.'S Cleveland plant, rough
engine blocks enter an assembly line and
go through $50 automatic operations.

WHAT IS "AUT0MATION"!

A few years ago a graduate

Entmun Heads Stute
GerohtoIogy Group

Sidney Entman, Executive Di-
rector of River Garden Hebrew
Home for the Aged of Jackson
vile, was named chairman Of the
new Florida Chronological As
ISOLATION, at a meeting held re-
Gently in Gainesville.
The formation of the Associa-
ton is the result of deliberations
held by the members of the COM
mittee set up to study needs of the
aged under the sponsorship of the
Florida State Conference on So
cial Welfare. Limited in its scope
to social problems it was deter
mined by the group that the need
for research on the place of the
aging individual in the overall
community could best be served
by an expanded program encom-
passing the supervision and direc-
ton of medical men, technical adj
visors and interested community
leadership.
It was announced by Entman
that the initial meeting of the
new association which has not yet
been named will be held in Miami
on May 10 at which time the new
charter for organization will be
presented.

DR.. Baron declared that re-

covered material dispelling the
popular belief that mass Jewish

last week by Ralph E. Samuel,

man of the Tercentenary Commit

Mr.. Samuel said that two vol
umes of the series are expected to
be ready for publication by June
1855. They will be the volumes
covering the years from 1890 to
1910, and from 1865 to 1885. The
entire project is scheduled to be
completed during the next three
years.
Initial funds for this major

REVOLT IN ScHUL
BY ALFRED SEGAL

Cured an upheaval. almost revo-
lutionarY. you might say. in our
leading and largest Orthodox
synagogue. / call it Orthodox be-
cause that was the denomination
at its birth 100 years ago. and to
that form of Judaism it has stuck
in the way of its worship even
unto now. Now. on account of
what's just happened there it is
being made TO stand somewhere
In the middle between Conserva-
4ism and Orthodoxy.
The Louis Feinberg Synagogue
(named for it's late revered rabbi
is a stately edifice in the Greek
style. Bronze urns of light stand
in front. In the time of my remote
youth it was a schul that inhabit-
ed a converted residence in the
downtown section.
IFS rise from this humble begin.
ming TO the magnificence of TO-
days all-stone house. suggests the
increasing well-being of our Jew
n. The fathers were small trades
men and paddlers who out of their
humble substance managed to
bring up good children. To say
nothing of Cadillacs that are in
t0daY's congregation.
In the earlier schul, back in the
1905, there was a curtain in the
rear behind which the wives were
concealed at services. They were
set there in obedience to the tradi-
ton that man must have no other
thought when he bows himself
before God. Heart and mind must
be only for God.
A wife at his side in the schul
might cause a mans mind TO stray
from the holy dedication: her
presence might cause him TO re-
member the quarrel she started
only that morning or the way she
nagged him the day before.
Wives were content to accept
this humber status in schul. Of
course, after schul a wife would
again be asserting her superior
ity in her house. She would be
telling him, "Sam, you've got to
stop dropping tobacco ashes all
over the carpet, I'm not going to
stand for it. You hear mel" or,
"Abe, it's about time you realized
who's running this place" or, "Joe
what kind of husband are you
anyway? Mrs. Yeffnif's husband
has just brought home mink, but
you just keep on promising" i.
So Sam, Abe, Joe could feel
powerful in schul when they had
the wife behind the curtain.
But now women have come
70 their rights even in that sYna-
Qogue. Now. after long. hard
struggle they have come to share
paws equally. side by side with
their men.
Before this happened the con-
gregation, time and again, had
voted on the proposition to let
husbands and wives sit together
in schul. But until the recent
months the husbands who were
willing to let their wives sit with
them lacked a constitutional ma
jority. So the older ones who from
their fathers fathers had learned
where to keep a woman in schul'
had their way in these elections.
