authoritative views on Communism and the cur
rent political situation in Europe.
If we were to ask ourselves to which particular
quality Miss Meyers success to be attributed,
the answer would be simple. Certainly, it was not
her scholarship, her profound knowledge of con-
temporary affairs the like It was on the one
hand the universal desire to accept her, and on
the other, the admiration of the average small town
citizen for the educated foreigner, the who
has to visit-and not to stay. For this is the
essential difference between the visiting foreigner
and the so-called refugee Since the former is not
interested in making the United States his home,
he is subconsciously considered to be superior-he
does not need u.s. The refugee, however is suspect,
even though he has made democracy his choice, or
more accurately, precisely because he has chosen
America in preference to his former home Miss
Meyer was definitely no refugee. And since she did
not want to be one of us, she could be quoted as
an authority.
Above all, it was the continental charm" which
captured the hearts of her listeners, to say nothing
of the amazing fluency of her English. isn't she
wonderful" her admirers would exclaim, Just
imagine us giving talk like that in foreign
country And while everybody tried to outdo the
other in their praise, they would comment on her
choice of words the level of her education, her
sense of humor, and her poise. 1t all eliminated
in a rapturous article which appeared in the local
newspaper. Nobody, however, in all this whirl,

PLAIN TALK
WE GIVE A SAMPLE
SERMON
BY ALFRED SEGAL


impertinence of this column. but
though have no ordination. I've
just been thinking Of writing a
sample sermon Of a kind many in
the congregations would rather
hear.
I've heard complaints from a lot
Of them. They don't like rabbis
putting on the airs of information
al pundits in their sermons. They
try to be Dulleses and Churchills,
handing down sermons that sound
like authoritative announcements
of statesmen. Though the fact is
that rabbis, no more than states
men, can feel that sure of them
selves; they are all just guessers.
But, according to the complain
ants, to hear some of the rabbis,
they know it all.
I feel prompted TO write an
exemplary sermon because of a
letter by Nathan D. Shapiro of so
Court Street. Brooklyn. I've just
read in Cincinnati's American
Israelite. Mr.. Shapiro was asking:
"Why must our rabbis and other
members of the cloth desert the
rich and inspiring field of reli-
gion in choosing subjects for their
sermons? Surely +. a spiritual
word and perhaps strengthening
of faltering faith is sadly needed.
Instead of that. one is obliged
to listen to political. military.
theological and international
speeches. mislabeled sermons
Mr.. Shapiro said that information
al speeches. etc. are readily
available Ito the members of con-
gregations) via the press. radio.
television and political pronounce
ments.. may to some extent ac-
count for the vanishing Judaism
that, we see on all sides.
'cHabbis, in my opinion, have a
sacred duty to their congregations
and to the public to preach the
Jewish tradition, its values :.
the Bible, the PHILOSOPHERS of our
prophets and scholars, and to
bring the Jewish people closer to
an understanding of God. Some
of the personal problems of the
members are also the legitimate
concern of the clergy"
Mr.. Shapiro's letter prompted
me to look into Saturdays church
page of the daily newspaper for
which work. There they print
the titles of the sermons that
Christian clergYmen Of our town
are going to preach next day.
In this list I could find not one
sermon that was going to tell MIR.
Dulles what to do about the world
and its problems. These ministers
seemed all to be humble men con-
cerned only with the lives imme-
diately around them in their con-
gregation and what to say to them
as to the best way to go in life.

Chamber Notes

Boyd HARDWOOD presided at the
Chamber of Commerce luncheon
yesterday, held at the Polaris
Coffee Shop.
The secretary read letter
from the Alaska Dept. of Health.
It concerned the arrival in Alaska
of Einar Enga, city engineer of
Tromso, Norway, who has come
to Alaska on fellowship grant
and who will study problems in
relation to health and sanitation.
1t was brought out by President
HARDWOOD that of all the cities he
plans to visit and study, Nome
was not included and it was sug-
gested that he be invited to visit
Nome, as a part of his study The
group went on record as favoring
letter of invitation be written
to Mr.. Enga.
Larry Calvin stated that a list
Of names was mailed to each
member of the Chamber for their
choice of new board members to
be appointed. It is suggested that
these be completed and returned
as soon as possible so that the
nominating committee can pre-
sent them at the annual banquet.
Larry Calvin was asked by the
president if he had any further
word concerning the States
Alaska case. Mr.. Calvin stated
that Portland had gone about in
recommending to the CAB con-
tinued air service between the
States and Alaska, through wires
and letters and he suggested that
Nome businessmen take similar
action
A letter was also read from
VIM. G. Strand, director of the
Dept. of Interior, in which it was
pointed out that the department
would go on record and would
make every effort to see that the
CAB was appraised Of the trans
portation problem in Alaska This
letter was in answer to a wire
from the Nome Chamber to the
Board.
Calvin also stated that Francis
Brown, CAB investigator, had no
tilted him that the intra-Alaska
case would not come up for hear
ing until the States Alaska case
had been decided.
Harwood explained a survey
report in which the Kotzebue
Chamber participated wherein
figures were gathered concerning
the number of available workers
in the area, the type of work they
did, the amount of time actually
spent at such work The consen-
sus of the group was that this
would be worthwhile project.
Harwood stated that he would ap-
point a committee in the near fu-
ture to do this project and that
William Angel, Nome School SUI
perintendent, had offered the typ
ing and mimeographing facilities
of the school for this project.
1t was brought out in discussion
that this information would be of
great help in seeing that contract
ors were aware of the available
local workers and that it would
also be good for the economy Of
the area.
