Not TO be outdone by their older
brothers and sisters, elementary
school children in East Cleveland
are now enjoying the heated waters
of Shaw High Pool for bi-weekly
swimming sessions.
Almost 500 youngsters, from the
fifth grade on up, are getting both
splashing fun and swimming in
struction from competent teachers
and under the watchful eye of
licensed life guards.
Two hundred and forty-seven
girls from the six East Cleveland
public schools attend alternate
week swim sessions on Thursday
or Friday afternoons; 115 boys
from the same schools "take the
water" every other Thursday, and
on alternate Thursday evenings,

There are so many fifth and sixth
grade girls swimming that they
have to be divided up by weeks to
give everyone a chance. Caledonia.
Superior and Prospect girls swim
one week, for instance, and Cham

the next.
Under the experienced super
vision of Mrs. Berneice Wise

swimming strokes and the first
essentials of life saving, and have
races and two-girl "buddie' swims

Parish.
The fifth and sixth grade boys,
under the direction Of Mr.. Tom
Meinhardt, Elementary Boys Ply

split up into alternate sections;
but if their high attendance rate
continues every session, they may
have to be. Attendance each alter

seventy-nine boys, which is large
number for the pool to handle.

Remind GI's
Of Insurance
DeadIines

Four major headlines face
veterans now being released or
discharged from active duty with
the Armed Forces, Mr.. William
Holsinger, Manager of the Neter-
ans Administration Cleveland Re-
gional Office, said today.
"The most important deadline,"
Mr.. Holsinger stated, concerns
CT insurance and affects veterans
who have been released from ac-
tive service since September 4th,
1867
Instead of having 120 days in
which to apply for a special type
Of five-year term, nonconvertible
CT insurance, these newly dis
charged veterans must apply be-
fore midnight, December 31st,
1856.
Veterans with service during the
Korean conflict (June 9th, 1850
through January 31st, 1861 have
three years from the date of their
discharge or separation to apply
for education and training under
the GI Bill, Mr.. Holsinger said.
Most Korean conflict veterans
have only a year from the date of
their discharge or separation in
which to apply for dental treat
ment.
Exceptions are those veterans
receiving disability compensation
for ervice-connected dental con-
dition or those veterans whose
dental disabilities are as a result
of combat injuries or service in
juries. They may apply at any
time. Mr.. Holsinger said the same
rules for dental treatment apply
TO peacetime veterans and six
month enlistees except that the
latter two groups must have been
discharged for disability insured
in line Of duty or are receiving
VA compensation for a service
connected disability.
CT home loan deadline for
veterans of the Korean conflict
period is January 31st, 1865.

headlines and veterans benefits

Mizruchi Merger Approved

NEW YORK (JTA) - The reach
ing of an understanding to merge
the Mizrachi Organization of
America and the Hapoel Hamiz-
rachi of America into one organi-
zation was announced jointly here
by Rabbi DR.. Bernard Bergman,
president of Hapoel Hamizrachi,
and Rabbi Mordecai Kirshblum,
president of Mizrachi.
The merger, which will be Off
cially ratified at joint convention
in Atlantic City Dec. 10 was the
result of more than year of ne
gotiations and meetings by repre-
sentatives of both organizations
and follows a decision of the World
Conference of Mizrachi and Hapoel
Hamizrachi held in Jerusalem in
August 1855 to amalgamate IN e
two organizations throughout the
world.
In a joint statement of the two
presidents, the hope was expressed

Oil Pipeline

TEL AVA (JTA) - Plans for
the construction of a Haifa-Elath
pipeline for the transportation of
Middle East crude Oil across Israel
to the distillation plant at Haifa
have been completed and avail t
Israel government approval.
A French source for the report
added that an agreement in prin-
ciple on such a line was reached
between Israel and France after
Israeli forces captured Tiran Is
land which sontrols the approach
to Israels southern port Of Elath,
where the oil would be brought by
tanker.
The report said that the pipe
line, to be financed with longterm
credits, would be 32-inch line
with an annual capacity of 10000
tons of crude oil. The cost of trans
porting oil this way, it was stated,
would be slightly more than half
the cost of tanker transportation
through the SueZ Canal. ConStruc-
ton is expected to take 18 to "a
months.
The major obstacle to the plan
is the anticipated opposition of the
Arab states, which are expected
to refuse to sell oil for movement
through an Israeli line. This diff
Guilty can be overcome, the plans
proponents say, by sending Iran
ian oil over this route.

Most Tongier Jews
In NeedOfHeIp

LONDON (JTA) - Seventy per-
cent of the Jews of Tangier, form
er international area recently in
corporated into Morocco, are in
need of material assistance, ac-
cording to a report to the Board
of Deputies of British Jews. To
the extent possible, this assistance
is being provided by the Joint Dis
tribution Committee through a well
organized Jewish community.
There is no political friction be-
tween Moslem and Jew in Tan
gier. the report stated. In the re
mainder of Morocco, despite the
good will of the Sultan's govern
ment, the position of the Jews is
precarious and they are concerned
with political developments. I h e
Moroccan authorities are opposed
to Jewish emigration-to Israel OF
elsewhere-but limited emigration
continues nonetheless.

WASHINGTON - The t i m e
lapse this year between Chanukah
and Christmas is about month
long Thus the public schools
will not be in a position to arrange
joint Chanukah-C Christmas celebra-
tions Nor will there be Chanu-
kah lights side-by-side with Christ
mas trees in the SchoolroomS this
year.
There have been some Jewish
groups who were of the opinion
that joint Chanukah-C Christmas OBJ
servances foster intercultural un-
derstanding by showing children
how their neighbors celebrate re-
ligious holidays However, this
is not the opinion of the major
Jewish organizations this year
After prolonged discussions, prac-
tically all the important Jewish
organizations have concluded that
neither Chanukah nor Christmas
should be commemorated in the
public schools.

that Jewish organizations within
the communities first consult each

to school authorities.
HOWEVER, WITH regard to
Chanukah observances, the posi-
ton of the major Jewish organiza-
tions is that Jews must tell the
school people forthrightly and with
dignity that they do not want Chan
ukah commemorated in classroom,
because they believe that religion
has no place in the public schools

to make Chanukah materials avail

instead their adherence to the

JERUSALEM (JTA) - A scroll
containing stories from Genesis,
Noah's biography, Abraham's jour-

of Sarah's beauty, among other
matters, was described here by VI

Speaking at a press conference

Judean desert, is not, as was first
thought, a Scroll of Lemech, al
though it does contain stories in
which Lemech features, including
conversations in which he discus

borne a child who is actually the
"son of God"
The scroll also contains, S a d

To Help III Mother

Thelma is friendly little
girl of 9.
She lives with her mother, the
victim of a Gripping, chronic
ailment, in a room of home of
another family.
Thelma'S mother can do very
little for herself or for her
daughter. In fact, she has to
depend heavily on the child.
Under her mothers direction.
Thelma cooks and does house
work. Her mother can do the
washing sitting down, and
IThelma hangs it out to dry.
But the little girls clothes look
nicely Numbered, and they keep
their room clean.
Thelmas mother and father
separated several years ago and
the mother has been i'll for a
number of years. They live on
a minimum budget from public
assistance funds. With things
the way they are, the mother
and child seldom get to 60 any
place, except school for Thelma
Her mother has to depend on
her more than most and she has
to 60 without many things other
children have. None of this has
dampened Thelma's spirits.
But perhaps it makes the
good things seem all the better
when they come along.
One of those things is on the
