JEWISH QUIZ BOX

QUESTION: Is it proper to spit in the syna-
gogue? C. H., Philadelphia, Pa)
ANSWER: 1t is considered improper to spit In
the synagogue. On some occasions the rabbis forbid
the eating of nuts since it rritates the palate and
forms excessive saliva causing one to spit and mar
the decorum of the synagogue. Judah Hasid in his
"Sefer Hasidm" offers some suggestions to prevent
splitting in the synagogue such as sucking lozenge
before coming to the synagogue. (Sch. 253)

Negro Kids From
Arkansas Schools

The racial mischief which Gov
ernor Faubus set in motion,
when he called out the National
Guard last year to prevent Ne
gro children from attending Lit
lie Rock Central high school,
continues to bear evil fruits
Last Tuesday the Ozark high
school became the second in two
weeks to witness racial violence
and the withdrawal of Negro
children from classes.
A student reported that she
and two other girls were told by
their principal not to return to
school after 10 white students
had ATTEMPTED to attack them
The three girls were the only
Negroes in the school. There IS
no other high school in the COM
munity.
During the previous week at
Van Buren, Is Negro students
withdrew from the high school
there after violence and threats
of more violence. The children
were said to be disturbed by
failure of school and police au-
thorities to protect them.
The demonstration at Van
Buren, followed the pattern OF
the Little Rock school strife in
1857. Students went on strike,
They hanged Negro effigies.
They attempted to force other
white students to join the strike.
They alleged1y pushed and
crowded Negro students and
threatened them with knives.
