catastrophies occur to discourage
him.
That's the philosophy of Jerry
Baker. SO, OF 5124 Nebraska ave-
nue. NV. who was stricken with
polio six years ago.
Since then. Mr.. Baker has
seen a child born. had his pelvis
broken when a hydrotherapy
exercise machine broke and
batled a month-long seizure OF
pneumonia.
He's still fighting.
Six years ago the attack OF
polio left Mr.. Baker paralyzed
in both legs and one arm. He
was in an iron lung for six
months. He and his wife had one
child Edward, now nearly 8 years
old. Shortly afterwards a Sec
ond son Bobby was born.
1t was hard fighting but the

He, was in Providence Hospital
for five days after his pelvis was
broken.
He was returned home, and
three weeks later he came down
with pneumonia. Doctors took
him to the District General Hos
pital where he stayed until last
week.
Now that he's back home,
he is beginning to go back to
work on his answering service.
He charges from $40 to $40 per
month per person. depending
upon how much the phone is
used.
He has IL customers now and
wants to expand as soon as he
regains his strength.
Wants 10 Expand
Il think I can handle from 20
to 80 subscribers" he declared.
That could bring him $500 per
month or more.
Meanwhile, his wife. who calls
him "the miracle man." is taking
in roomers in their semidetached
brick home.
Mrs. Baker figures she's house
wife, carpenter, plumber. nurse,
maid and everything else" She
even helps her husband with the
answering service.
Mr.. Baker, who had a real
estate business before he came
down with polio, still retains a
few insurance customers. Be-
tween these and his answering
service. he thinks he'll make out.

feels, that a crippled person can
still make good and be reason

u. S. Delays Held Threat
To Water Resources

The Federal Government has
been guilty of too much Zip
service and not enough practical
assistance" in solving the Ma
TONS water resources problems.
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat
of Arkansas, leveled this blast at
Ipast and present administrations
in a speech yesterday before the
43d national convention of the
National Rivers and Harhors
Congress. More than 400 dele
gates from all over the United
States attended the three-day
convention. which ends today.
THE continuing procraStina.
ton in looking toward our water
needs has bordered on national
stupidity Senator Mcclellan de-
clared. The legislator is chair
man of the directors board OF
the rivers and harbors organiza-
ton.
A national water resources
program. he added, is so vital to
our destiny that Il have reached
the point where I am ready to
cut corners" to achieve the goal.
Want Increasing Funds
He said he hopes appropria-
tons to meet such problems
water supply and river pollu-
tion-will assume a pattern "of
being a little larger this year,
still larger next year and so on
into the future"
The legislator was a princi-
pal speaker of yesterdays after
noon session. Earlier in the pro-
ceedingS. President Eisenhower
wired a message in which he
asserted water Use is of the
greatest Importance to the Ma
tion's future Only through
cooperative efforts on the part
of Federal, State and local gov
Iernments can this country keep
pace with the demands on its
water resource, the President
warned.
1t. Gen. Samuel D. Sturgis,
Chief of Army Engineers, told
the convention the greatest han
dicap to orderly development OF
water resources is dissention ano
selfish conflict among various
groups affected by water pro-
grams.
Many important programs
throughout the Nation are being
held up because of local disunity
or apathy" Gen. Sturgis said
"Once local interests become vel
entangled in disputes, seriou:
and indefinite delay is newt
able"
Cites Flood
A demonstration of this, hi
said. was the situation that left
New England at the mercy Of
last years disastrous floods
Similar conflict is "halting prog
ress" in the Columbia River
basin. the engineer added.
Chairman Asplnall of the
House subcommittee on irriga-
ton and reclamation said mem

That kind of scope involves al

homeland and universal justice
spelled out one and the same thing
to the. Jewish folksmentch long
ing for salvation.
David Pinski apprehended this
longing of the Jewish masses and
ventured to give it form and ex-
preston. At first he attempted
an approach to human salvation
in general terms through socialist
conception of universally. He
soon, however, realized that prior
to human salvation Jewish saliva
ton must be achieved, and he
turned his talents to singing, de-
scribing, expressing the present
and future of his people-and the
future he visioned in an Isreal
reborn in it's ancient homeland.
This vision of his lend him to the
path of Jewish history and the
ranks of Labor Zionism-the ideo-
1ogy of the Jewish folksmentch.
Pinski has lived to see the be-
ginning of the realization of his
lifelong dream-the Jewish state.
His name in Jewish literature and
