FARM INCOME

Things are looking better and
figure to keep on improving, say
the top officials here at USDA.
They give you figures, such as
Higher prices for ranchers and
farmers in the second half of this
year. =.
Soil bank payments this fall of
about $3.50 million to more than
one-half million operators. :.
Wool payments of about $50 mil
lion to sheepmen. -.
1t will all add up to a Slightly larg-
er net income than the low figure of
1855, USDA economists forecast. A
few months ago, they were predicting
another decline this year.
Administration optimism got at least
a minor setback when Aug. Is USDA
price reports showed a per cent drop
from a month earlier in all-commodity
prices. Agriculture Secretary Benson,
In special statement, described the
price drops as largely of a seasonal
nature" The Secretary reminded
farmers that the departments econo-
mlsts expect grower prices in general
to continue well above last year"
BEEF PURCHASE PROGRAM
USDA, just before press time. an
nOunced beef purchase program
ito help encourage additional do
mestic consumption of beef" Big
IDEA is to bring relief to cattle pro-
ducers, the department said, ''par-
tIcularly those who are market
ing grass cattle.''
The department said it will buy
about so million pounds of homeless
oeet hamburger style). Last beef
purchase program was years ago,
when the department bought $50 mil
hon pounds of beef, mostly canned
beef and hamburger, at a cost of
almost 1874 million.
PRODUCTS purchased under its pro-
gram, said officials, will be prepared
from beef grading us. Commercial
or US. Utility. The beef will be dis
trlputed for school lunches and to well
fare institutions.
Democrats were expected to approve
the new buying plans of USDA, but
also to charge that it is more than
coincidence that official action comes
just few weeks before the election.

Rabbi Fox:
Jewish Quiz Box
Rabbi Fox:

QUESTION: Why is it customary to keep filling
the wine cup Saturday night for the Havdalah
mony until it overfloWs?
ANSWER: The Rabbs say that "WhOSOeVer does
MT have his wine splling like water the exit of
the Sabbath does not see blessing in his house."
The overfowng of the wine is symbol of generosity
on the part of the head of the household 1t is consd
cred good omen for the house where is hoped that
blessings will overflow like the wine of the Havdalah
ceremony.
Some claim that this is symbol of the custom
by which we add bit of time to the Sabbath and
thus do not perform the separation ceremony between
the Sabbath and the week by cutting it at the exact
moment Since we wait for extra period of time,
we spiritually overfi ourselves with the Sabbath
spirit and thus symbolic the moral that one should
always do little more than that which is required
of him in measure of generosity and good will Thus
it is hoped that the Almighty will do little more for
us than we deserve
through the apparatus of the local Jewish
welfare funds The welfare funds will be called upon
to provide clear and distinct channel for such con-
tributionS
Each and every contributor will be asked to par
tcipate in the special campaign without reducing his

through the west but don't know another city that
has such wonderful array of Kosher delicatessens
as Tucson.
Neither Albuquerque, El Paso or even Phoenix
has such stores as we have in Tucson. There are no
equals to Goldbergs, Topp's, or SWanWay
But 1t wasn't always that way in Tucson There
were times that Hot Kosher Corned Beef sandwich
was rare delight, thing of beauty to be savored
AS far back as can recall the first Kosher delica-
lessen in Tucson was on the back seat of an old
Chevrolet
THE TRAVELLING delicatessen was operated
as off-campus employment by my brother Milton who
then was attending the University of Arizona
Many time as youngSter went with my BROTH
er on the rounds of the few Jewish homes in Tucson
delivering a chala here, herring there and spicy
salami to another home.
1t was quite a trick bringing Kosher foods into
Tucson. Chalas and rye breads came from wonder
full bakery on Brooklyn Avenue in Los Angeles BOYLE
Heights. Salamis carefully wrapped and hot dogs in
salty brine came from Chicago and herring and lox
came from Mr.. Sagorsky who had wholesale house
near the tracks in Los Angeles.
Oftentimes went to the railway express station
to pick up the wonderful foods which were rare
treat to Jewish community Often the herring had
horrible spoiled smell and the saamis were spoiled
by the heat.
But when the rounds of the Jewish homes were
made there always smile for the salesman of
the travelling delicatessen.
THERE WAS some humor attached to this
business which was more of an accommodation and
a way of keeping Yiddishkeit.
On the outskirts of the city-Copper and Camp
bell at that time in the early 193Os in the coun-
try-there lived Mr.. Siegel He was desperately ILL.,
drawn and thin by tuberculosis But he always smiled
Afavorte joke of his was to pick up the telephone
by his bedside and call my father
"Nu, Mr.. Chanin' he would say "Do you have
a nice dry herring today?"
Although he knew the reply that was to come,
my father always said: eyes we do >
To which Mr. Siegel would chuckle: "Nu, give
it drink"

year of Jewish escapes when thousands of Jews,
fleeing from Egypt and Hungary ARE in need of aid.
Thus 1857 is year which combines the needs of
1946-When thousands of Jews were in DIP camps
and of 1913 when Israel was surrounded by Arab
armies.
IN THOSE TWO years American Jewry rose
to great heights of generosity In 1857 it will have
to do repeat performance Those who witnessed the
spirit which prevailed at the UJA national conference
when the decision to raise additional $1OO,OO0,0OO
adopted have doubt that American Jewry
will live up to UJA expectations
1t was a momentous conference at which several
of the delegates announced huge contributions the
spot without even waiting for the $1OO,O0O,000
paign to be launched.
SOME OF THESE contributions were among the
highest in the history of the UJA, and when the
figures are announced officially they will doubt
make profound impression and inspire other large
contributions They will also indicate to the people
of Israel and of other countries the extent to which
American Jewry is interested in their fate and re-
sponsive to their needs.
COMMUNITY OBLIGATIONS: Credit for the
exceptional inspiration which marked the UJA con-
ference must go to William Rosenwald Edward MN.
Warburg and Rabbi Herbert Friedman, the top UJA
leaders, However, the entire UJA Campaign Cabinet
is to be commended for its daring decision to make
1857 the greatest year in Jewish philanthropy.
1t need not be forgotten that each of the men,
bers of the Campaign Cabinet will himself show an
example of greater giving in 1857 by increasing SUBJ
stantially his 1856 contribution which was already
quite large.
THE CONTRIBUTIONS to the special $1OO,0OO,-
600 campaign will be secured throughout the country

Can We Measure Up?

Can we measure up to the great task before us?
That is question you and must ask ourselves
now We have been asked in Tucson to raise total
of $4,000 for local, national, overseas programs
and emergency aid to Israel in this great time OF strife
The Jewish community of Tucson never has
been asked to reach such goal And, indeed, the sum
seems staggering for community of some 1000.
But a responsible Jewish community, such as is
Tucson, weighs the needs of such request before
making decision The leaders appointed to direct
the 1857 Combined Jewish Appeal which Will seek
to raise the 1920 900 have appraised the situation
The 1857 CJA budget formula they arrived at
is broken into two main divisions One is the Speclal
Emergency Rescue Fund. For this vital funo the
United Jewish Appeal is seeking $1OO,OOOOOO across
the country and $780, 900 from Tucson The other dl
vision is the 100000 needed to take care OF regular
CJA needs
Here for your study and aid in understanding the
needs of this greatest drive in Tucson Jewish COM
nonal history is break down of the $1OO 600 regular
sum:

The facts are that the 50 or more local, nauonal

aid have even more vital work this year. Not one
can afford to take cut in budget.
And to be sure, it is not difficult to understand
the great needs of the UJA Emergency Rescue Funo'

tip of Hatteras Island. 1t is q

of Labrador and ; Newfoundland
The amphibious animal,
and he is just that, having been
sighted both in the water and on
the shore, is greyish in color with
occasional spots. The animal has
a fair chance for survival because
the law protects the animals from
gunners, it is on National Park
Service lands, (where all living
things are protected by law and
the fishing is good at the Inlet.

WINNER OF LEGION
CHEVROLET AUTO

Essex Collins, listed as a resi-
dent of Engelhard, who paid 81
for ticket to the dance of Ameri-
can Legion Post No. &c, near Man
teo Saturday night, was the win
ner of the $2,4O0 1856 Chevrolet
Sedan awarded by the post at the
close Of the dance.
The post has had some difficulty
in locating the winner, who while
giving his address as P. o. Box
1874, Engelhard, is said to be living
in New York. Legion officials said
this week unless he comes up soon
to demand the prize, it may be
declared void.
A number of tickets were sold
to Negroes to participate in this
lottery. One of the post members,
John Jambura of MAINS Harbor,
one of the top sellers of tickets,
sold some 300 and among these
was the ticket sold to Collins.
Collins, it appears, has not lived
in Engelhard for a long time, but
gave the postoffice box of a
friend. It was not necessary to be
in attendance at the dance in order
to take the prize.
