have to fulfill his end of the
bargain, the widow could, no
doubt, promptly receive a
check and a strictly business
like relationship would ter
inmate.
How infinitely different is
the course Of events when one
completes a membership ap-
plication in the CF'U. The
prospect is recommended at
the lodge meeting and when
his certificate arrives he is
pledged to membership.
From then ON he is an
integral part of q close cir
Gle of brotherhood which is
always ready to live up to
the slogan "All for one
One for ALL"
That circle will share his
sorrow and grief. It will be
there to make life's bright
moments even brighter.
1t would take volumes to
record the barest outline of
this truly magnificent func-
ton of our lodges. Some of
these examples Of charity are
characteristic Of all, while
others are identified with a
particular locale or period.
Lodges Friend Indeed
We know that while the
local lodge has to remit the
monthly assessment punctu-
ally before the end Of the
month many members are
not so punctual, 50 that the
lodge treasury carrys the
burden.
Sometimes, in cases Of
financial stress the lodge
will foot the dues bill for
many months. Thus the
member will have the ben
eft of full protection
though temporarily unable
to meet his dues obliga-
tions.
During the great depres-
sion tens of thousands were
assisted in this manner and
most lodge treasures were
eventually depleted; but they
had served a most noble
cause.
Thousands Were Aided
A few years ago we had
an opportunity to visit one of
our colonies in a little town
near Pittsburgh. This is a
smallRtown, but there is moth
ing small about our dynamic
lodge there.
We were greatly impressed
by the imposing structure
which bears the proud in
scription-Croatian Home.
1t was built during the de-
preston and built by men,
bers who were either working
off their dues debt or earn
ing a daily wage which ena-
bled them to not only keep
their membership intact but
to keep themselves in bread.
This story can,.. no doubt,
be repeated in just about ev-
cry colony where a Croatian
Home exists.
Not only did the organi-
zation, from it's central
headquarters, save the in
surance coverage of tens of
thousands of its members
by placing them on reserve,
but other thousands were
similarly kept protected by
assistance at the local
lodge level.
The best example of the
real value Of lodge affiliation
is the solicitude and concern
expressed for a member
when illness strikes. Here
truly fraternalism is at its
best. for it actually puts into
practice the First Fraternal-
lists directive to Visit the
sick"

derful things that had happened
in the lamps and about me as a
sort of agent of God in the mat
ter. Afterward when I was alone
with father, I told him, '"That sure
was good oil you put in those
lamps. to last that long" CAS-
Levite, father had to do with
keeping the lamps supplied) "You
sure know how to get the good
OIL" I said.
Then father told me: Abba.
you don't understand. The phYsi-
cal character Of oil has nothing to
do with the light we're having in
this Temple. think of this oil as
the light Of our faith and of our
laws and of our characters and as
guidance for our feet on the way
to go and for our hands in the
things we do.
Eyes, Abba, the light will last
forever if we follow the good way
that our Jewish faith teaches, if
we. stick to all the righteousness
that was commanded on Sinai. It
is everlasting oil, everlasting light
and it will give us everlasting life
as a people"
Then I asked him. But father.
how can people live on oil for
ever?"
Father laughed softly: abba,
you're just too young to under
stand, but let me tell you some
thing: You as Jew have yourself
lived by this light long-long
time. You know son, you were
among those present at Sinai
way back there. That's where we
got this light. AS you get older,
you will understand it all better,
and I pray you will hand the light
on to your children and grand
children that they may carry it
on to see and live by"
The Southern Jewish weekly., 1956-11-23

They cried out "a miracle of
God! The lamps still burn, the oil
still fresh like new!" They wept
One said, God really has
been here all the time. He saved
the light for us!"
For having uncovered the mir
acle I myself was made a kind of
hero. The people kissed me and
pafted my cheek and caressed my
shoulders. Then all at once my
father was seen entering the Tenn
pie striding toward the altar with
all the authority Of Levite. He
was just back from the war. The
people surround him shouting.
Your son Abba did i'll" (You see.
far back there my name was Abba

to Alfred.)

TWO BOOKS ON NORTH CAR
OLINA HISTORY AND Gull
TURE TO BE PUBLISHED IN
OCTOBER BY THE UNIvER-
SlTY OF NORTH CAROLINA
PRESS
On October Is, The University
of North Carolina Press will pub
lish TARHEEL TALK. by Nor
man +. Eliason, a pioneer his
torical language study showing
how our North Carolina fore
bearers actually talked.
How is it possible to determine
earlier pronunciation? Is folk
speech corruption of standard
English? Was there more swear
ing in the past than today? Who
gave slaves their names and
what were their names really
like? Was the role of the Negro
significant in the shaping of the
Southern dialect? What is the
true explanation of our various
American dialects? Why is there
difference in the speech of
eastern and western North Caro-
linians? How good n speller was
Daniel Boone? What is the sig
nificacne of the fact that the
first known use of scarce as
hens teeth was by a North Caro-
linian?
These and innumerable other
questions are necessarily raised
and answered-in this unique
historical study of the English
language in North Carolina from
the time of it's settlement in the
seventeenth century up to 1860.
In tracing the historical develop
ment, light is shed not only on
what is distinctive about Tar
heel speech, but also on Amcri-
can English generally and on the
English language as whole.
Mr.. Eliason. Professor of Eng
lish in the University of North
Carolina since 1916, has examin-
ed thousands of letters, journals,
bills, receipts. record books and
other writings in the Southern
Historical Collection of the Uni
versity of North Carolina - and
has produced the First History
of Language of a Single State"
using the first hand testimony
provided by North Carolinians
themselves. The wealth of folk
speech in these records provided
the author with a sound explana-
tion of the various American dia-
lccts. enabled him to explain the
differences in the speech of the
different sections of the State

marches off to school regularly
she'll be crossing streets, play
ing along the way, frolicking
around the school.
| hope | was preparing her
when | threw in some advice
about the safe way TO do these
thingS-in answering her queS-
tions about all the wonders of
the first grade.
But this is pretty new TO her
and she may make mistakes.
Dcbby isn't irresponsible, yet
she is not responsible. For her,
the crushing dangers of traffic
are not real. l can tell her, but
it would be like describing the
Giant in the story of Jack and
the SeanStalk.
But you know and you can
watch out for her. You can
watch for her as she plays on
the way home from school, and
you can use caution when you
see her ready TO cross the street.
You can be ready TO stop if she
should dash out from behind a
parked car or follow rolling
ball into the street. If you re-
member how dear she is to me
you'll drive slowly through eve
ry school zone.
Since you have been granted
the privilege to drive, l have to
assume that you will do these
things. But will you? Will you
drive carefully wherever there
are children, not only because
II is your legal responsibility.
but because you care as much as
| do that the frightening roar of
traffic death-of the Ginat-
never becomes real for a little
girl who has so much ahead of
her to learn?

completely for the first time the
campaign and human
drama of this relatively lit.Ia
known phase of the War Between
the States. Based on printed
memoirs and documentary rec
ords of those who fought and o,
the civilians who lived in tho
path of Sherman's advancin,
army, the author vividly des,
cribes the three months march
which Sherman considered the
greatest of his military feats
The burning of Columbia, tho
engagements at Monroe's Cros,
Roads with Kilpatrick's forceS
the battle of Bentonvillc. and
Johnston's surrender in RALEIGH
nine days after Appomattox are
the high spots of the story: but
the human interest is conccntra-
ted in the many episodes that
grew out of the planned. SySte-
matte destruction of supplies and
property by Sherman's orders
and the undisciplined pillaging
of the "bummers" as the armE
moved toward Raleigh.
John g. Barrett was born in

The telegram below was re-
ceived from Clarence Mitchell.
Director of the Washington
Bureau NAACP:
Disgraceful hearings on
school integration have start
ed in Washington. Following
telegram was sent to Hon.
John w. McCrmack 1903 Fed
eral Building. Boston, Mass
and Hon. Sam Rayburn, Bon
ham. Texas:
Respectfully urge that you
intervene to halt hearings on
public schools in District Of
Columbia. Sub Committee
Chairman Davis of Georgia
and member Williams Of Mis-
sissippi have shown them
selves totally lacking in the
most elementary sense of fair
play.
At this time there is real
danger that they will seek to
use these hearings as a forum
to promote the kind of strife
that has brought disgrace to
Clay, eKntuchv and turmoil
in Mansfield and Texarkana
in the great state of Texas.
We have sent a telegram to
Congressman Mccormack in
the name of the Branch and
have asked a few other people
close to Mr.. Mccormack to
do likewise. More calls. let
tiers and telegrsms from his
constituents will be most
helpful.

The Executive Committee of

slider the situation in Glou-

teacher was released after

A committe appointed by

the problem made its report.
The report was accepted and

In the report, it was found
that there was discrimination
based on color at the time
teh teacher was released. Ad
ditionally, the report stated
that the NAACP was given
definite assurance by the Su-
