Over Policy
OF Newspaper

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - A 40
day-old dispute between the
Memphis Commercial Appeal,
local Scripps-Howard paper,
and the Citizens Improvement
Committee has seemingly been
settled on a peaceful basis
around five points.
The Commercial Appeal
promised Negro leaders that
titles of respect would be
used before the names of
Negroes in news stories;
that there would be a re-
spectacle treatment of all
news pertaining to Negroes,
including photos; that the
editorial policy of the paper
would be improved, and to
give back the jobs of all
newsb0ys.
The citizens group, in an
nouncing the peace confer
ence, said that its delegation
was cordially received and
treated with respect" The
organization had spanked a
boycott which saw many Mem
phians spurn their regular
purchase of the newspaper.
The group also revealed
that it has plans for "other
projects" which have not, as
vet. been announced.

When in 1948 the State of Israel
was established, the new Jewish
republic was considering what
should be its emblem. A special
committee of cabinet ministers,
headed by the late David RENEE,
studied various suggestions. 1t fl
nally decided on the menorah and
for these reasons:
l. The menorah is the oldest SYM
Dol of Jewishness, since the seven
branched candlestick was already
in use by the Israelites in their
moving Tabernacle during their 40
years of wandering in the desert
after the Exodus from Egypt, as
depicted in the Biblical books of
Exodus and Leviticus. 1t is thus
much older as a Jewish symbol
than the Star of David, which CEN
turies later became a Jewish en-
blem under the reign of King David
in the Land of Israel.
The Phoenix Jewish news., 1957-12-13

2. WHEN THE Maccabbees VOL
their great victory over the Syrian:
and became the rulers of Palestine
they coined money upon which wa:
inscribed the menorah as a symbo
of liberation.
8. The menorah has always beer
regarded by Jews as symbolic o.
light.
Today as we again celebrate
Chanukah we are once more re-
minded of the part played by the
menorah in the religious theology
of the Maccabean revolt. After An
tiochus Epiphanes had despoiled the
candlestick and other Temple ap-
purtenanceS of their gold, Judas
Maccabeus rededicated the Temple
and restored, among the other uten-
Sils, the menorah.
AND THERE is the miraculous
tale connected with this story OF
the recovery of Jewish freedom
When the Temple was rededicated
only a small jar of oil, enough to
last only one day, was said to have
been found unprofaned by the
heather; this oil burnt for eight
days in the golden candlestick in
the sanctuary, until new holy oil
could be prepared. From this is
said to be derived the eight days of
the Chanukah festival, and the add
ing of one light each day.
In the Temple of Solomon during
the First Jewish Commonwealth
there were, according to the Book
of Kings, 10 golden memorials. In
addition, the Book of Chronicles
mentions silver memorials in the
First Temple. The prophet Zech-
ariah uses the menorah as cos
mological and political symbol. All
through the period of the Second
Temple the menorah was an i'm
portant appurtenance in the Tenn
pie worship.
WHEN THE Temple in Jerusa-
lem was destroyed by the Romans
under Titus in 10 G. E., the menor-
ah was reproduced with other
spoils of the Temple on relief on
the Arch of Titus in Rome. This
the earliest pre-
served and most authentic Of the
seven-branched candlestickS, can
be seen even today in the italian
capital.
The seven-branched candlestick
in use today in synagogues all over
The world is an imitation of the

menorah that had been used in both
Temples, while the Chanukah men
orah with its eight lamps and its
extra kindling light called the
Shammes (Servant) is a form of
menorah used only during this one
week of the Festival of Lights.
THE SYMBOLS which have hoo,
designed on various memorials
throughout the ages are often re-
veaIlng OF the particular beliefs
and superstitions prevailing durino
certain eraS. There are 18th Cen
tury italian Chanukah lamns that
are decorated with tritons and cen
taurs, while later memorials from
Italy reveal only a burning lann
flanked with lions.
Old Russian and Polish speci-
mems show the stages and tree of
life motif in their panel decoration
oriental lamps, from Israel and
ne1ghboring countries, frequently
exhibit in their decoration the
crescent and star, birds, the hand
amulet.
~~~AANAAOeN OO SNCI IyWIlGT6 else
where this joyous festival is cele-
brated its altar, its heart is the
nine-branched menorah w hose
candles are lighted, an additional
light for each day of the festival.
AS WE KINDLE the Chanukah
lights we offer praise to God for
the miracles wrought by Him dur
ing the days when Judaism was in
danger of extinction by a pagan
power, for the heroisrn displayed
by the Jewish people.
The idea of religious light and
political liberation shines forth
from these little twinkling candles.
And the menorah itself upon which
these lighted candles rest reminds
us Of the tree of life, of the life
force that should be guided by the
moral teachings of the Torah if it
is not to be weakened, smothered,
and eventually extinguished.

Ask Playground
On City's Rayine

Residents of the Ravine DIR.
neighborhood Tuesday evening
petitioned the City Commission to
provide playground for small
children on city property at the
head of the ravine which cuts
through at that point. Spokesman
for the petitioners and the neigh
bors who attended the Commission
meeting was Mr.. Edward j. Henry
Both the Commission and City
Manager Chas. A. Carran indi-
Gated such playground was under
consideration in the current capi-
tai improvement program, but
doubted if the city would get to
it this summer. But, they did agree
to level off an area on which the
children could play. Fencing and
equipment. however, could hardly
be considered this summer.
The city is now in the midst of
one Of its biggest summer i'm
provement programs. 1t includes
the development of the new play
ground on Shaw ave., with foot
ball practice field, two ball dia-
monds and an ice skating rink;
completion of improvements at
Shaw Field, including the new pool
house; and the big job of renova-
tion and additions at City Hall.

Shaw Opens 50th Football Year
With Season Ticket Sale Contest

Shaw's Stadium began as an
open field and the first school
game was played on the site in
the fall of 1906. Six years later
wire enclosure was erected and
the present stadium was built in
1929 at a cost of $4,000. The
current gates and ticket booths
were added in 1886. From 1854
through 1856 the stands were
renovated at a cost of $4,000.
AS far as can be learned, no
other school in Ohio has played
on the same site for half a CEN
tury, quite record for any school.
Come early fall, the school will
repeat it's famed One in 10000

project which last year made
financial return to assure new

about how the new wonder drugs
speed recovery from TB," she
says. "These drugs usually work
best on early cases of the disease"
This makes it more important
than ever, he says, that every case
of tuberculosis be discovered in its
earliest stages.

culosis frequently shows no symp-
toms. DR.. Winkler says, "One of
the best ways to find early TB is
to x-ray the chests of all ap-
parently healthy people" 3"
He says that chest X-ray is
safe. quick and easy, that no un-
dressing is necessary, and that it
can reveal certain chest abnor-
malities other than TB, these also
in their early, more easily treat
able stages.

units was predicted this week by
