QUESTION: Why is the Tai.
mudic portion describing til e
burning Of the incense recited in
the synagogue?
ANSWER: This section, which
is commonly called "Ketores," is
recited every Saturday morning
in the Ashkenazic ritual and
every morning in the Sephardic
ritual. The reason follows the gen.
eral line of reasoning for which
the description of the sacrifices
is recited daily in the synagogue.
Since the synagogue is a sort of
replica of the Temple and it's
service is a symbolic representa-
ton of the offerings of the. Tenn
pie, the portion describing the of
ferings of incense is also recited
since this was an integral part of
the daily schedule of sacrifices in
the Temple. Maimonides explains
that the incense was offered be-
cause of the honor of the temple.
Since animal flesh was being
burnt there it was necessary to
have a spice offering daily to off
set the smell of animal flesh and
lend an aesthetic sense of smell to
the temple, by giving a pleasant
odor. Some customs refrained
from inserting this portion into
the Prayer Book since the offer
ing of the incense was so strict in
requirements that lack of one of
the species of spices could result
in the death of the priest who Of
fered it. Hence, its recitation like
wise has to be done carefully, in
order not to omit any of its parti-
cular ingredients. For this reason,
some claim that the Ashkenazic
ritual only included it on the Sab
bath since the average worshipper
is in a hurry during the week
whereas on the Sabbath he can
take more time to recite the pray
ers more accurately.

QUESTION: Why is il custom.
airy amongst some Jews TO hide
the loose strands that come from
the beard in a holy book?
ANSWER: It is mentioned in
some of the Rabbinic literature
that it was a custom to place the
loose strands that would some
times come out of the beard of an
aged man in a holy book. This is
explained by having it understood
that to a reverent Jew the beard
is something holy and a reverent
man regards his beard with deep
respect. Objects that are held in
reverence are n ever cast away
when they become loose or tear.
Thus the loose leaves of a prayer
book or Bible are hidden away
with reverence. Also the loose
strands of the fringes (tzitzith)
were customarily hidden by some
in some holy book. Hiding these
loose objects within the pages Of
a holy book insures the prospect
that when these books are aged
and torn they will be stored away
with other holy objects and thus
the loose strands of the beard or
the fringes will likewise be stored
properly instead of being cast
away without due regard.

Environment
And Food Supply

Radiation in the general en-
vironment has not yet become
a serious problem. In a few
decades, however. radioactive
waste products from atomic
power plants will represent an
enormous potential source OF
contamination. How much of this
radioactivity actually will reach
the population depends on how
successfully it can be kept out
of the great network-ocean and
air currents, food and water sup
plies-which connect man to his
surroundings.

appears imminent, however.
Tracer studies will help us
understand basic metabolic pro-
cesses in plants and animals
They also will be applied to
practical problems such as the

Mutation rates in plants are

on the effects OF atomic rad
It is generally agreed that. in
the peacetime development Of
atomic energy, man has been
lucky. He has been dealing with
an enormous new force whose
potential effects he has only
dimly understood. Thus far, ex-
cept for some tragic accidents

people, the biological damage

GLIDING the testing of atomic
weapons) has been essentially
negligible.
Furthermore, it appears that
radiation problems, if they are
met intelligently and vigilantly,
need not stand in the way of the
large-scale development of
atomic energy. The continuing
need for intelligence and vigi-
lance cannot be too strongly en-
phasized. however.
The problems of radiation fall
naturally into two main classes:
Cd The effects on human be-
ings; 90 the various ways in
which radiation can reac h
human beings through the
environment.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-06-13

atomic weapons are the only
significant source of radiation in
the general environment, above
the natural background.
MeteorologiSts have found nc
evidence that atomic explosions
have changed the weather OF
climate. Nor do they believe that
continued weapons tests, at the
same rate and in the same areas
as in the past. would have such
an effect.
Radiation from explosions
passes into the atmosphere nd
much of it eventually returns to
the ground as "fall-out."
Fall-Out Classified
Fall-out divides into three
classes: Cd close-in - material
that comes down within a few
hundred miles of the explosion
and within 10 to 20 hours, (2)
acknowledgements that de-
sends in a few weeks after the
explosion, and 90 delayed-ma-
terial that remains in the air fol-
months or years.
Close-in fall-out from test ex-
Iplosions affect only restricted
uninhabited regions.
intermediate fall-out would
descend very slowly if it were
pulled down only by gravity. II
is mostly washed out Of the all
by rain and snow. 1t spreads over
large parts of the earth, but its
effect over a small area may be
accentuated if there is heavy
precipitation while the radioac-
tive cloud is overhead.
Delayed fall-out is stored for
long periods in the shakespeare
Meteorologists know very little
about the interchange of air be-
tween the stratosphere and lower
layers, so they cannot predict
exactly how long the material
will stay up, or where it is likely
to descend.
Burial Of Waste in Ocean
At this point the oceans are
not receiving any significant
quantities of radioactive material,
But eventually they undoubtedly
will be used as a repository for
some of the radioactive waste
products of atomic power plants.
Before this can safety begin
on large scale. much research
is needed to determine the mix
ing rates between various parts
of the seas. Materials deposited
in some of the deep parts of the
ocean may remain there 100 years
or more, so that most of their
radioactivity would be gone be-
fore they reach surface water.
On the other hand, material
dumped into coastal and other
surface waters would directly
affect marine life and, within
a few years would contaminate
all parts of the world because of
the relatively rapid circulation of
surface layers.
Radioactive tracers can be
used to chart ocean and air cur
rent and to study the interrela-
tionShips Of marine animals,
Many important experiments in
these fields will be possible only
within the next 10 to 20 years.
Increasing radioactive contami-
nation of the sea and atmosphere
will make it impossible after
that to detect the tracers against
the heightened background.
COntaminates Food Supply
Radiation from fall-out in
evitably communicates mans food
supply. Radioactive elements in
the soil are taken up and con-
centrated by plants. The plants
may be eaten by humans, or by
animals which in turn serve as
human food.
At present the contamination
is negligible. But the maximum
tolerable level is not known.

1tion:
timated that this amount is 80
to 80 Roentgens.
(The Roentgen is a unit OF
radiation. To give an idea of
its value, the average dental
X-ray delivers five roentgens to
the patients jaw, but only five
thousandths of a Roentgen of
stray radiation to more remote
parts of the body such as the
gonads.)
1t is also estimated that a
dose of 10 Roentgens to every
person in the United States
would cause something on the
order of five million mutant
genes which would then be a
part of the populations inheri-
lance pool. This figure is sub
ject to considerable uncertainty.
Present Radiation Sources
AT present the U. S. popula-
ton is exposed to radiation
from (A) the natural back
ground, (B) medical and dental
X-rays, &C. fall-out from atomic
weapons testing. The 30-year
dose to the gonads received by
the average person from each
OF these sources is estimated
as follows: (A) background.
about 4.3 roentgens; OBJ X-rays
and microscopy, about roent-
gems; Co weapons tests, if con-
tinued at the rate of the past
five years would give a probable
30-year dose of about OIL roent-
gems. This figure may be off
by a factor of five, i.e., the posi-
BILE range is from 0.02 to O.5
roentgens. If tests were con-
Quoted at the rate of the two
most active years (1953 and
1850 the 30-year dose would
be about twice as great as that
Just stated.
II the exposure of the general
population to radiation is limited
to levels which the genetics COM
mittee believes reasonable, there
should be practically no patho-
logical effects in the persons re-
ceiving the radiation.
Larger exposures (say 100
roentgens and up of the whole
body or a large part of it are
generally harmful. Much higher
doses may, however, be safely
and usefully delivered to limited
portions of the body under the
controlled conditions of medical
treatment.) Very little is now
known about how to treat the
pathological effects of radiation
or how to protect the body
against them in the first place.
Much research is needed in these
fields.
One of the effects is a short
ening of life. This seems to in
volve some generalized action. r.
radiated individuals may age
faster than normally even if they
do not develop specific radiation
induced diseases like leukemia.
1t has not been shown that
exposures small enough to be-
genetically tolerable have this eff
feet. Furthermore, the permis-
sible exposure levels that have
been established for persons
working with radiation appear
to be within the limits of safety.
However, it is not yet known
what minimum dose. if any,
would be necessary to produce a
statistically noticeable reduction
OF life span when very large
numbers of people are concerned.
