BROTHERHOOD WEEK

Our interest in Brotherhood Week
began in 1929 when Mr.. Everett r..
ClinchY. President Of the National
Conference Of Christians and Jews.
came to the University of Florida in
Gainesville to speak at our fraternity.
We were freshmen in Journalism and
sincerely enthused a b out the idea.
Since graduating and publishing this

ANSWER: The Hebrew express
sion amen" as it is generally
used today, is a response to a
blessing or prayer. 1t is taken to
mean so may it be-" This type of
response to an oath is seen in the
Bible deuteronomy 27:15 ct seq.)
when the curses were given on
Mount Abel. Such a response was
given by the suspected woman,
according to the Bible plumbers
5:22). 1t is used as an expression
of confirmation by the Individual
who hears blessing or by the
congregation. It's root lies in the
Hebrew root meaning ito be
founded" or Ito be faithful"
which traces itself back to root
meaning Ito support" There are
some later writer's who consider it
a possible abbreviation of the
three words excl Melech Ne
eman" which means "The Lord,
trusted ruler" This response was
considered so great by the Rabbis
that in one place in the Talmud
it is claimed that the one who
offers the response has a greater
credit than the one who utters
the blessing.
QUESTION: What is the mean
ing of the word "Selah"?
| ANSWER: The origin and ety.
mology of this expression is not
quite clear. Some trace it to a
Hebrew root meaning ito lift up"
In this sense, it might be taken as
a signal used by the writer of the
Psalms to the singer that his voice
should be lifted up" at the ap-
pearance of this word, or that he
should sing louder at this point.
Such is the opinion of the
"RaDak" in his commentary on
the Psalms. In this respect, the
word has actually no connection
with the text in which it is used;
it is simply a musical signal. In
this sense some consider the ex-
preston "Selah" to be an abbre-
Walton of three Hebrew words
"Simon Lehsanos Hakop which
means ga sign to change the
voice."
| Ibn Ezra, on the other hand, re-
CARDS this expression as a sort of
means of confederation which
would mean to say "it is so" or
"the idea is correct" Some con-
slider it as a signal to pause. There
are even some writer's who con-
slider the expression "Selah" as a
signal to delete some portion of
the text.

Nays 'SiIvery Touch
Lost as Woman Retires
BY BETTY MILES

The Navy has lost its most
unusual specialist.
Mrs. varilee Alexander. who
for 80 years has seen that the
job was done right when gleam-
ing sets of silver service were
presented by proud citizens. cities
and States to new ships that bore
their names, has retired.
Mrs. Alexander was super
visory general supply officer at
the Bureau of Ships. Her job
involved the placing of all Office
machines, chinaware and silver
ware on ships at sea, and she has
received several awards for i'm
provements in supply procedures.
One improvement, it is esti-
mated, will save the Navy 10000
man hours a year.
But her labor of love was the
presentation silver service sets.
In all, there are about 100 of
them afloat. Mrs. Alexander esti-
mates. ranging in value from
$1,000 to $4,000.
Silver is the classic gift for a
new ship, she said. If the donor
wants advice, the Navy and Mrs.
Alexander were glad to help.
Candelabras Best
Most strongly recommended
candelabras.
"You can make a table look
pretty with these even if you
don't have anything else," Mrs.
Alexander declared.
Punch bowls are next in de-
mand, then ladies and trays,
then silver punch cups.
Simple tea sets, of course, are
appreciated, too.

The old battleship Maryland
had a unique service, she said,
with each piece bearing a scene

Duchess of Windsor.

Alexander recalls. The set had
been presented to the President
by a foreign government.
When a ship is decommission-
ed arrangements sometimes are
made to find a new home for
the silver, she said. For ex-
ample, the service from the old
battleship Washington, which
had been presented by the peo-
pie of the State. was transferred
to the cruiser Seattle.

said. land my business took me
on ships. I never failed to look
at the silver service"
Special Cases Provided
Special display cases. equipped
with supports to hold the pieces
in place. are provided for each
ship.
Mrs. Alexander worked with
the Lennox Co. IN planning the
modification of the china used
by President Truman on the
yacht Williamsburg, and also
simplifled from seven to two the
number of distinguishing mess
marks on china used by officers.
She suggested an anchor be used
to designate china Of all officers
through the rank of capatin, and
a gold seal without a specific
number of stars for all admirals.
She has a sample cup from
each of these sets in her home
at 1851 Greendale street NV,
where she and her husband,
Guy. live.
But Mrs. Alexander doesn't
