With all the diplomacy in
the world you can be held up
by a fire.
This is what happened last
evening to an ambassador and
his wife who are the personiti-
cation of that word diplomat"
The Ambassador of Chile
and Sonora de Rodriguez were
the guests of honor at a recep-
ton given by Mr.. Edgar Morris
and his sister. Miss Mary
Morris.
What happened-they were
late to their own party because
of a fire in the Ted Lewis Res
taurant on upper Connecticut
avenue. Combined with the
later afternoon traffic it played
havoc with a bit of the social
scene.
Although it rs certain that
the restauratem would die at
the thought, his establishment
caused diplomats and top Off
Gals to cool their heels in hot
limousines on the way to a
party.
The party was gay, with
hundreds of guests slipping
cool drinks and eating straw

Dear Miss Larkin:
l can't help from thinking of the
progress made with reference to the
Banquet Hall, which was renovated
from a Coal Bin to first class Ban
quet Hall, of which the people en-
joyed free. Hats Off" to the Gen
eral Officers. Too much praise and
encouragement cannot be given them
for such a herculine task they did.
When it is equipped with all the ia
cilities required, it will not only be
as asset to the Association, but to
the State. This establishment marks
a special step of progress in 1855. 1t
remains unseen what will happen in
1856. Every civic-minded and prog
ressive minded person admires the
contribution made and inspires them
to work harder But some "go day.
and come day" God send Sunday.
Members and Presidents complain
like the children Of Israel did when
Moses was leading them in the will
derness. Knockers don't win by
knocking. I am urging all con-
cerned to speed the Campaign for

the fact that a 35-cent edition
of A. Powell Davies "The
Meaning of the Dead Sea
Scrolls" has just made it's ap-
pearance on the book market.
Another volume published
this week on the thrilling dis
coveries of the Dead Sea
Scrolls and their significance
is "The Qumran Community;
Its History and Scrolls" by
Charles T. Fritsch. -.
In addition to explaining
the Importance of the Dead
Sea Scrolls in a manner which
will catch the imagination of
the general reader, Mr..
Fritsch's book, published by
Macmillan, also carries a bib
biography which includes most
of the articles and books on
the Scrolls and related sub
jects that have appeared from
1853 to last summer.
The 35-cent volume by Mr..
Davies is similarly a very
valuable book for both scholar
and 1ayman, giving details of
the discovery of the Scrolls,
the stormy debates which
they have provoked, and the
effect which the Scrolls may
have upon this b elievin G
world.

ON ISRAEL & RUSSIA:
Of course, the best book on
the Dead Sea Scrolls is Ed
mund Wilson's. 1t was he
who really made the story of
the discovery Of the Scrolls
fascinating reading and who
brought this story home to
thousands of readers who had
never been interested in his
tory or archaeology. Now
the Oxford University Press
has published another book by
Mr.. Wilson which no one
should fail to read. &. 1t is his
volume RED, Black, Blond
and Olive" which includes
studies he made of four civili-
cations: Zuni, Haiti, Soviet
Russia and Israel.
Jewish readers will be great
ly impressed with his study of
Israel. Here is a noted
American writer, a non-Jew,
who went to the trouble OF
studying Hebrew in order to
be able to read the Bible in
the original Hebrew and to
speak Hebrew in Israel.
His observations on Israel
and it's people are inspiring.

When They Built
The First Synagogue In Tucson

EDITORS NOTE: This is
the first in a series of articles
telling the history of Tucson's
synagogues. Other articles
will follow in later editions)
Almost a half-century ago
the first Jewish house of wor-
ship was built in Tucson.
And impressive ceremonies,
including a colorful parade
down South Stone Avenue,
marked the occasion. The first
Jewish synagogue here was
Temple Emanuel, a dignified
house of worship located at
$50 South Stone Avenue. The
stately building with its two
domed towers and mogen
david was first begun in 1910.
TO-DAY THE PIONEER
Tucson Jewish congregation
is in new and beautiful build
ings on North Country Club.
The old temple building is still
in use and serves a congrega-
ton of another faith.
Long before Temple Ema-
nu-El was constructed in
1910, the reform movement
was active in Tucson. There
were some 20 Jewish families
in Tucson about the turn of
the century. But Judaism had
its roots in Tucson in earlier
pioneer dates. Old records
show Jewish settlers first ap-
pearing in the Old Pueblo
about 1865.
It is believed that Isadore
Gotthelf, former resident,
was among the first to orga-
nize Jewish religious services
in Tucson. They were held
and personally conducted by
Gotthelf-at Levin's Park, a
popular spot in the early days,
but no longer in existence.
The park was located at the
western end of Pennington
Street.
THEN IN 1887 Jewish relig-
ious services were held in a
room in the Cosmopolitan
hotel on Main Street.
Oldtimers say the first
Jewish organization was the
Hebrew Ladies Aid, which
was formed by Mrs. L. Rosen-
stern, Mrs. J. Ferrin, Mrs. Eva
Mansfield and Miss Clara Fer
rim, now Mrs. David w. Bloom.
1t was this group which
originated the idea for the
construction of the Temple
and by 1909 a Embarrassing
drive was well underway.
Listed among the many con-
tributors were Albert Stein
field, Leo Goldsmith, Lionel
Jacobs, DR.. A. Morrison, Mrs.
Joseph Ferrin and Max Lisitz-
ky, who later donated the site
for the Hillel Foundation
building.
