SALTERS CHAPEL A.M.E.

Sunday School was started at
its usual time with a large at
tendance of members and visitors
who were here for the General
Conference. We were honored to
have one visitor who had not
missed Sunday school in 20 years.
He is Presiding Elder of the Fifth
District, Rev. Broadmoore. The
superintendent, Sis. Agnes Davis
was in charge.
With the General Conference
still in session everyone is so busy
with church affairs. But our pas
has so many wonderful friends it
has been more than pleasure
to have them come and take part
in all our services. Also to praise
him for the work he has done in
building a new Salters Chapel
here in Browns Sub.
We thank the Lord for the
presence of so many pleasant
wolves and smiling faces, which
bring an uplifting spirit with
them to visit with us. God bless
you until next week when we are
hoping that you will worship with
us on Sunday.

GRACE PRESBYTERIAN

1895 NV. I4th Ave.
The Arizona post., 1956-04-06

His new congregation was
small, and the synagogue con-
sisted of one small room over
South Stone, far cry from
the 400 families it serves to-
day, and from the imposing
buildings t h a t are now the
home of Anshei Israel on E.
Sixth. Marcus Breger'S life
has been intimately involved
with Anshei Israel through
all these years of growth, ex-
cept for the years he served
in the United States Army.
Chaplain
DR.. Breger enlisted as a
private in the spring of 1943.
When he obtained his citizen
ship three months l a t e r he
was transferred to military in
telligence. He then received a
O m m S ion as Air Force
Chaplain. From San Antonio
to India, to Okinawa, Major
Breger remained there until
the end of the war. His serv-
ices earned him a special COM
mendation from the Secretary
of War, not only for his spirit
ual guidance but for special
projects, such as arranging
for food to be sent to Shang-
hal war victims.
Back In u. S.
It was a h Apply moment,
and a moving one when Mar
Gus Breger said the opening
prayers for the H i G h Holy
Dav on RoSh HaShona Eve IN
1916. He was home to stay.
His return to Tucson incident

as to visit Paris for the first
time. DR.. Breger's first trip to
Israel was twenty years be-
fore, and the growth physical
ly, psychologically, and polit-
ically impressed him deeply.
AS for local community
growth, DR.. Breger said, Il
feel that our Jewish commun-
ity is growing not only physic-
ally, but spiritually as well.
Tucson is no longer a hamlet.
The n a t i o n a | organizations
treat our delegates with con-
siderable respect. Ideas orig
mating here are often adopted
nationally. 1 believe that Tue
son is rapidly becoming one
of the major U. S. centers of
Jewish activity"
If this be true, it is un-
doubtedly because of the eff
forts contributed by commun-
ity leaders like DR.. Marcus
Breger!
The Arizona post., 1956-04-06

ally, was coincidental to the
birth of the Arizona Post. The
first is SSue contained Rabbi
Breger's picture, and the story
of his return from the serv-
ice. Il have probably the only
complete library of issues of
the Post in existence, he says
proudly. II have every issue
published since that first one
almost ten years ago."
The years since have been
filled with all sorts of activity
for DR.. Breger, encompassing
all of the community. He is
Chaplain for the local post of
the Jewish War V e n S;
Jewish C h apla in at Davis
Monthan and Chaplain for the
Jewish patients at the Vet
Grams Hospital. He is also a
charter member of Tucson's
z. o. A., a m e m b er of the
American Historical Society,
a Rotarian, and has served as
director of many civic enter
prises.
The Breger f mily can
boast of two doctors. Mrs.
Breger graduated as Doctor
of Dentistry at the University
of Berlin. "She never had a
chance to practice, la u G h S
DR.. Breger. 'I married her too
fast" Min e tie n year old
daughter Liba is an h o n o r
student in the junior class at
the u. of A. Liba also teaches
at An s h ei Israel Hebrew
School.
Life Contract
One of the biggest thrills
of DR.. Breger's life happened
on his 5Oth birthday in 1855.
His congregation t e n d er e d
him a lifetime con ira C t as
Rabbi. and their friends pre-
sented the Breger family with
a trip to Israel. They spent g
weeks abroad, and managed
to find time to visit old friends
in Athens and Rome, as we'll

gin to hear of DR.. M arcu S
Breger almost b e ore they
have had time to finish un-
packing. Those who become
congregants of Anshei Israel
have the good fortune of be-
coming his friend, and those
who do not are sure to meet
him anyway. AS it was in my
case, it happened in a cheer
less hospital room when in his
daily rounds DR.. Breger stroll
ed through the door and stay
ed long enough to cheer up
this very gloomy patient and
to leave a permanent impact
upon me of his dynamic per-
sonality.
If you're a Rotarian, or be-
come a active in any of the
major &C m m mi ~ drives,
then you will S urely get to
know Marcus Breger. His wis
dom, charm and leadership af-
feet all of Tucson, and of this
fact the congregation of An
shei Israel is duly proud.
He was born in Austria in
1905, and decided while still a
schoolboy that he wanted to
enter the rabbinate. He stud
led under the guidance of his
grandfather. After his grad
uation with honors from the
CzernoWitzer Gymnasium in
"a enrolled as an advanced
student at the Jewish Theo-
logical Seminary in Breslau,
Germany. At the same time,
Marcus Breger attended the
University of Breslau major
ing in history. He graduated
with the degree of Doctor of
Philosophy, cum IA u d e, in
1880. The following year he
was ordained a Rabbi. Until
1882 DR.. Breger lived in Ber-
lin, devoting his time to re-
search, contributing to the En-
cyclopedia Judaica, serving as
reviewer of Judaica for the
Journal of the PruSsian Acad-
emy of Science.
Teacher
The Collegio Rabbinico, on
the Island of Rhodes was well
known throughout the CONT
nent. The theological S e m
mary attracted students from
many countries. Became Pro-
fessor of Jewish Canonical
Law, and other allied subjects
in 1882 and went to live on the
sic of Rhodes.
Rhodes, a possession OF
Italy, was ground under the
heel of FaSciSm in 1888. The
Breger family arrived in the
United States in January OF
1889. Marcus Breg ger set to
work learning English in a
hurry. In September of that
year he was installed as the

LUCY CASE
BACK IN COURT

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Attor-
neys for Miss Autherine j. Lucy
filed a motion Friday IN BiTuning-
ham asking the Federal District
Court to disregard the University
of Alabama expulsion order and
instruct University officials 10 re-
admit the Negro student.
The motion called upon Fed
eral Judge H. Hobart GroonS,
who originally order the admit
tance Of Miss Lucy to the univer-
sity, to amend his order of Feb.
30, which instructed the univer-
sity to terminate its exclusion OF
Miss Lucy from the campus by
900 am, March 5, to provide for
her readmission in time for the
fall semester.
The attorneys did not urge her
immediate readmittance because
of the time Miss Lucy has lost
as a result of the university's ex-
pulSion order. The lawyers term
ed the expulsion order "a legally
ineffective interference with the
performance Of a duty incumbent
on the board under this courts
order"
The suspension order was is
sued ON Feb. 6. Miss Lucy was
admitted TO the 125-year-old
university Feb. /, after almost
four years of court battles.
Miss Lucy earlier stated that
she hopes to be readmitted TO the
University of Alabama In a
statement made on March z she
said:
Despite all that has happened
I continue to hope, wish and work
that ! may be able to pursue my
education at the State University
of my own home state. But up
until the present time, ] have
been thwarted In my effort to do
that. Therefore, / have got to fol-
low two courses: to persist in my
efforts to be admitted to the Uni
versity of Alabama next fall and
also to make Applications to other
schools because I am sincerely
interested in getting an educa-
ton in the University of Alabama
if l can, but If not, in another
school.
81 would hope that there are
unseregated universities In the
ooutniand on whose campuSeS ]
may find welcome as a student"
