Gay Diapers
Date From
Early Times

Anyone who thinks babies
can't be fashion-plates should
take q look at the new dia-
pers. These hitherto strictly
utility garments are break

Miss Virginia Pearson Of
Kendall Mills has an an
swer for that-they did.
The word diaper" comes
from "d'Ypres." and in the
middle ages diaper meant .
rich silk fabric made in
Ypres, Belgium. The distinc-
tive characteristic Of the
cloth Of Ypres Is its orna-
mental pattern. and the term
ITO diaper" Is still employed
in heraldry 10 mean cover
ing q field Of an escutcheon
with scrolls. lattice work or
flowers.
Diaper" from meaning q
fine fabric eventually came
to mean baby linen. In the
nth and 18th centuries the
royal houses OF Europe
laid great stress on hav-
ing baby linen as COM
plete and costly as possible.
Diapers OF royal newborn
babies were blessed by the
Pope. but these. embroidered
in gold and silver. were pri-
marty for display.
In Colonial America hand
doomed cloth served for dia-
pers. and 1t was so harsh and
stiff that ii had to be soaked
in a bucking tub Of butter
milk and pounded soft.
AS machines replaced hand
looms. diapers went to rags
to -four sacks.
Later on. striped bed tick
ing was used-and this
brought about q century Of
white diapers.
One hundred years ago.
while DR.. Ignac Semmelweis
was investigating the cause
Of puerperal fever. he at first
laid the blame on the dye in
the bed-ticking diapers. Dia-

Of white cloth.

be reading the wrong books.
Certain educators and pub

mary readers ARE boring,
are busy turning out chill
dren's books designed TO fas-
cinate as well as teach. For
children in need OF remedial
reading. these would make
excellent Christmas gifts.
The Play Center. on Eight
zenith street NV. has q wide

There he will find a de-
lightful story about a cat

mud.
Education, not wealth, was
the old time Jewish ideal.
Most of the old-time Russian
Jews were poor as church
mice, or shall I say synagogue
mice. Synagogue mice were
even poorer than church mice
for most of the churches were
far swankier than the Syna-
gogues. A church mouse turn

THEY TELL the story of
one Polish Jewish rabbi who
when handed a coin, didn't
know what it was. He was
told you could buy fish with
it. Only then did he begin to
have a monetary concept.
The real wealth of the pious
Jew was learning. Today
when many Jews are not so
pious, they cannot get the old
attitudes about learning out
of their system.
Among the Jewish winners
on the $4,000 program are
Hank Bloomgarden, Teddy
Nader, and Joyce Brothers.

his father. Robert has an old
er brother, who is said to be
as brilliant, named Stephen
for Rabbi Stephen Wise.
1T APPEARS, before his
birth, the Stroms had tried
to adopt a child but were
turned down by all the agen-
cies save the Free Synagogue
because of the mixed religions
of the parents. In gratitude to
the Free Synagogue, when
Mrs. Strom gave birth to her
own child, she named him
after Rabbi Wise.
Teddy Nader, the st. Louis
son of a Jewish shoemaker,
can name some 1,50O battles
of the Civil War. Probably
Grant and Lee who command
ed in the opposing forces,
couldn't have done so well.
Michael Halprin, a distin-
guished Jew of the last CEN
tury, might have matched
Nadler. Some of the generals
of the Civil War would turn
to him to verify their ac-
counts. He had an encyclo-
pedic knowledge of the war
and of many other things and,
appropriately, contributed TO
many encyclopedias.
The Arizona post., 1957-06-21
A $4,000 Question:
Why So Many Jewish Champs?

FROM THE standpoint of
dollars and cents, it is debat-
able whether it is desirable to
know so much. Nader has a
civil service job paying $500
an hour. A lot of people who
can't quote all of Shake
Speare's Julius Caesar" by
heart as he can, earn much
more.
Nader further admits that
sometimes people are annoy
ed by his knowledge. They
stand around arguing and
suddenly he comes along
Mr.. Know 1t All-and they re-
sent him.
However, the probability
or even the congeniality of
knowing so much is not the
true gauge. The old Jews en-
phasized that learning was re-
ward in itself. Learning, said
the Jewish fathers, was not
to be used "aS a spade" to
dig. Up to the middle ages,
rabbis were not even paid.
