country also contribute to general causes.
With regard to contributions to Jewish causes,

raised by Jewish campaigns is provided by II per-
cent of the contributors In other words it is the
Jews who contribute sums between $4,000 and
$5OOOOO to the UJA and other causes who make up
the difference for those who contribute less than the

How often are the pages of history rewritten!
Now we celebrate the holiday of Purim = a
holiday which marks the overthrow of a Persian
tyrant who vented his fears and hatredS upon
minority The tyrant Haman and when Nor
deca refused to bow down to Haman, it was decreed
that all Jews would be slain.
But Haman, the Book of Esther tells us, was
foiled in his dastardly plot by Queen Esther.
The story of the miserable Haman will be read
and re-read in our own community this weekend
as the Megillah is brought to the pulpit of our
houses of worship.
The story of Haman is an ancient one But
how many Hamans have marched across the pages
of history?
In our own days we have witnessed the life
and death of one of the worst of all Hamans-
sadistic butcher of Germany, Adolph Hitler. On
his bloody hands are the murders of some million
Jews. y
And we are seeing at this moment
Haman act out his few brief pages of history.
For can Nasser of Egypt be called any less
than a Haman? Already he has driven thousands
of Egyptian Jews out of that country. He stripped
them of their homes of their wealth and tore fami-
lies apart
Fortunately the exiled Jews of Egypt can look
somewhere else than to the furnaces and gas cham
bers of Dachau Buchenwald and Auschwitz.

OF a community can be measured by its charity
The Jewish community of Tucson has set an
all-time record of raising more than $15OOOO for
charitable purposes. The Combined Jewish Appeal
is still not complete and it is possible the total will
climb near the $175,OOO mark
It is interesting to compare this sum with the
campaign also being conducted in Phoenix at this
time.
Phoenix reported an all-time high of S104000
for its preliminary phase of the Embarrassing cam
paign. It is expected that the Phoenix Jewish COM
munity will raise around $4,000 this year-by far
the highest raised there.
Tucson has an estimated population of between
LOO and 900 Jewish families In Phoenix the esti
mate runs from 2,3OO Jewish families to 5000.
Despite the smaller population, Tucson each
year continues to outstrip Phoenix when it comes
to charitable Embarrassing. Such feat is credit
to leadership the big heart of Tcsonans and also
to the work of our executive director, Benjamin N.

MRS CHARLES GOLD tells this story about
early days in Tucson.
At one time there was no orthodox or conserva-
tive congregation in Tucson only Temple EMANUEL
So it happened in the early 19OOs that few
of the orthodox Jews got together for the high
holidays and rented room above stores on West>
Congress Street
But when it came to counting heads, there were
only nine men-one short of a minyan.
AS they sat and despaired, Mrs. Gold recalls
Temple member came over to see how things were
progressing.
"I remember to this day." says Mrs. Gold that
once he got in we never let him out until after
our services were over We put yarmulke on his
head and he was our tenth man for the minyan"
NOW THAT the fear of sanctions against Israel
are gone it is interesting to note that Secretary
Dulles has threatened sanctions against Egypt
Dulles statement of sanctions against Egypt
were tucked away neatly in wire service STORY
The statement did not get major headlines.
Nevertheless Dulles threatened economic sane
tions unless Egypt began complying with orders
to open the Suez Canal.
And it is possible that the U. S. Will go even
further than economic sanctions if Egypt continues
to block the Gulf of Aqaba continues the Fedayeen
raids against Israel
Israel does not stand alone against either Arao
AGGRESSION or Communist intervention.

Ills Of Whiskey
- Alas! Too Late

MARYSVILLE-An 1S-year-old
Columbus youth, due to spend an
upcoming three-day weekend in
Union county Jail, probably could
give some sound advice to other
graduating seniors on how not to
celebrate.
The youth and a buddy, still
wearing their senior prom finery,
were stopped recently by a State
Patrolman while driving through
Union county.
Apparently in an over-zealous
post-prom celebration, the boys
had acquired two bottles of whisky
and were enroute to Indian Lake.
The young driver, from a fine
family" according to Mayor John
Spain, and apparently making his
first mis-step, was cited for driving
while intoxicated.
He was fined $50 and costs and
placed on two years probation in
addition to the mandatory three
day Jail sentence.

Safety Tips For
Motorists On
Memorial Day

Thousands of motorists, eagerly
awaiting Memorial Day and the
first of the major summer holi-
days, may be little over-anxious
to hit the open road, warns Jeanne
Smith, Dodge Safety Consultant.
To avoid possible tragedy, when
highways are crowded and temp
ers sometimes short, she urges ex-
ira caution and care. Here is her
list of safe driving tips for Memoir
ial Day motorists.
l. Keep a safe distance behind
the car ahead-at least one car
length for each ten miles of speed.
2. Stay in your own lane on
hills, curves and in mo passing
zone"
3. Don't pass at intersections and
never attempt to pass more than
one car at time.
a. If you drink, don't drive.
5. Slow down when driving at
night, and dim your lights to on
coming traffic.
6. Never drive a car if you are
sleepy, fatigued or emotionally up
set.
z. Never cross a solid double
line to pass another car. 1t might
be the last move you ever make.
8. ALWAYS get out of your ve-
hicle by the curb-side door.
9. Slowpoke driving can be dan
gerous. Keep up with the normal
flow of traffic.
10. Driving safely is a full time
job Don't sacrifice your life for a
day dream.

Good Control Is
Said TO Assist
In Disease Fight

WOOSTER-Losses from plant
disease in Ohio total about 10 per-
cent of the crop, says II. c. Young,
associate chairman of the plant
pathology department at Ohio Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station.
One half of this loss occurs be-
cause the grower is unaware of
known methods Of control. Lack of
perfected control methods accounts
for the other half.
Plant diseases can cause a chang
ing agriculture in the state from
year TO year, states Young. Diseas
es affecting grapes grown in south
ern Ohio moved this industry to
the shores of Lake Erie years ago
where control measures are easier.
Costly sprays which caused in
ferior fruit finish forced the apple
industry from southern Ohio to the
Lake region where only one or two
serious diseases exist. Peaches and
other fruits were found to be more
economically grown where pests
were less severe.
Fifteen years ago tomatoes and
many other vegetables did not
need spraying for disease control.
As the industry expanded more
diseases appeared and spraying be-
came a necessity.
Research at the Ohio station is
being conducted to improve present
controls and to develop new con-
trols for new diseases, according
to Young.
