that previous successful school

this.
I'VE must be prepared for a

the summer months for the hea-

Usable shoes and clothing are
needed in both child and adult
sizes. Items that cannot be re-
paired, however. are still wei

can be sold as rags and thus

The Contributions of clothing

ranged by calling the Volunteers

Negro JobIess Rote
Twice Thot Of White
Workers, Hill Says

ST. PAUL - Fiscal policies
of the national Administration
are making Negro employment
gains extremely difficult and in
many cases are destroying past
progress. NAACP Labor Secreta-
ry Herbert Hill charged here to-
day.
Mr.. Hill delivered the main adj
dress at the third annual Amcrl-
can Federation of Labor-Cong-
rcss of Industrial Organizations
Institute on Human Rights.
AS certified bargaining agents,
he said, trade unions are often
the decisive factor in determin
ing status of the Negro worker
'All too often. there is great
disparity between declared pub
lie policy of the national ALL
Go and the day-to-day reality
experienced by northern as well
as southern Negro wage earn
ers." Mr.. Hill declared.
He added that during 1858,
the non-whife unemployment
rate, as estimated by the GEN.
sus bureau, was higher than
at any time during the last II
years.
In 1858 and the first quarter
Of 1859, the non-white unem'
ployment rate has almost been
consistently more than double
the white unemployment rate.
This would indicate that very
limited progress has been made
in securing the same degree of
employment stability for the Ne
gro worker as is enjoyed by the
white" he concluded.

'Rivers in the Desert" just published by
Farrar, Strauss and Cudhay. DR.. Glueck,
a noted archeaologist, who is also presi-

as "a history of the NegeV'.
Actually it is a volume containing
fascinating facts illustrating the Negev's
role as passageWay between continents

Glueck has conducted archaeological ex-

QUESTION:: Why do some
Hebrew months have % days
while others have 80 days?
ANSWER: The Hebrew
Calendar is a lunar calendar
and a month is generally the
period of time it takes the
moon to go around the earth.
This is approximately 291a
days. Since a month cannot
begin or end in the middle
of a day, some months are
% days while others are 80
days in order to balance this
out.

Americans are very favorably i'm
pressed, however, by cultural life in Israel.
"Culturally, Tel Aviv has great deal to
offer. The people are intensely interested
in music, and the Israel Philharmonic
Orchestra is excellent" A radio is desir-
able in Israel because so much of the
breoacast music is classical and in good
taste Museums and art galleries were
also commended
Because films shown in Tel Aviv are
from one to three years old" and there
are "long queues for every performance"
Americans avoid the movie theaters.
complaint is made that although photo
graphy is a popular hobby in picturesque
Israel, the developing and printing of
photos is too expensive and "of definitely
poor quality"
Americans find most Tel Aviv prices
unappealing, although oranges, lemons,
and grapefruit are very reasonable. Items
of furniture are 1.-TWO or three times" the
price charged in America. The quality is
poor.
Telephones are useful though an
moving because of ''the high percentage
of wrong numbers" Laundries are ex-
pensve and give poor service
The prices are high but quality low,
according to Americans shopping for local
meat and poultry Difficulties in obtaining
major staple food items were such that
commissary and imports meat from Den
mark and many food items from America.
Clothing is twice as expensive as in
the United States. The selection is poor.
Toiletries, cosmetics, and household needs
are available but generally inferior to
American products Towels and sheets are
also "nferior" Israeli wine and beer is
"fair" but better products and prices are
to be found at the U. S. commssary. Dry
cleaning is improving
Public transportation is termed in
adequate. A car is virtual necessity"
But Israeli drivers are undisciplined and
the accident rate is Every high"
Americans seem miffed at the handl-
ing of their possessions at the port of Hal
fa Things are handled roughly and "pil-
ferage is a problem" Items stolen from
American autos include hubcaps, radio
aerials, cigarette lighters, and windshield
Wipers.
Comparison of the Israeli and Calf
ornia climates by pro-Israel enthusiasts is
debunked as something of an exaggra-
ton" Mention is made of winter dampness
and cold in Tel AViV a troublesome sum-
mer sun glare, and the "khamsin," a hot,
dry desert wind that is trying on dispo-
sitions"
But despite such factors, U. S. person
mel found Israeli sanitation and health con-
trolls competent Indeed, "the general level
of sanitation is doubtless the highest in the

Cuisine Is Inferior
By MILTON FREEDMAN


WASHINGTON-What are the private
opinions of Israeli daily life formed by
non-Jews stationed in Israel as U. S. En-
bassy employees? A State Department
report. intended for U. S. personnel, re-
veais negative as we'll as favorable i'm
preSSionS.
Food and service in Tel Aviv hotels,
restaurants, and night clubs are severely
criticized. In hotels, service is mediocre"
while prices are "high." American non
Jews do not enjoy dining out in Israeli
restaurants. They consider the cuisine in
ferior, poorly cooked and little variety
offered. AS result, the u. S. Embassy
opened its own restaurant, serving 86
people at seating.
An observation is made that poor
Accommodations and food, the tense border
situation and the practical difficulty IN
crossing the frontier between Israel and
her Arab neighbor states have severely
limited the influx of non-JeWish tourists
An estimate is made by the State De-
partment that 95 percent of the tourists
are Jews who come mainly Ito visit rela-
tives or to see what has been accomplish
ed by Israel, rather than for ordinary
tourist purposes
Although "there are perhaps a thous-
and American citizens living in Tel AViV,
there is limited social activity between
them and Embassy personnel" There are
apparently more social contacts with non
Jewish airline personnel, technicians, oil

Americans find the underwater fish
ing excellent" at Eilat on the Red Sea.
But a "maior drawback to Tel Aviv as
post is that there are few nearby places
to which one can go for a change With
in Israel there are many interesting
places but the country is so small that
the limitation in this respect is soon felt"
U. S. diplomatic personnel in Tel Aviv
find Beirut, Lebanan, offering "a COM
plete change" with it's "well-stocked stores,
good restaurants and a cosmopolitan
atmosphere"
Tel Aviv is described as "a difficult
post with respect to social recreation,
Americans report the average servant
to be ''initialIy unframed, and it is most
difficult to secure competent help" There
fore entertaining is done on a smaller
scale.
From the American viewpoint, "lack
of public facilities seriously restricts re-
rreational possibilities. Most of the hotels
in Tel Aviv have no real public rooms,
dining rooms are usually small, and be-
cause most hotel cooking is mediocre, eat
inp out is avoided. Prices of food and
beverages in the better hotels are pro
hibitive"
The report does not speak highly of

FOR THE LIFE OF ME, By Robert
Briscee, Little, Brown and Co., Boston,
$780, Here is delightful reading. Robert
Briscoe, the world-famed former Jewish
Lord Mayor of Dublin, tells the story of
his life in an easy-to-read style.
Throughout this book is a wonderful
lesson for American Jews who are Wrack-
ed by the "dual loyalty" issue Mr.. Bris-
coe found no difficulty in being both Jew
and an Irishman. AS an Irishman he
fought for years as an active leader in
the Irish Republican Army. He escaped
death many times during his revolutionary
escapades.
But throughout his life Mr.. Briscoe
remained loyal to his Jewish upbringing.
In fact he found that he was more highly
respected because he retained his Jew
ishnesS.
"For The Life of Me" is excellent
reading for both adults and teen-agers. 1t
is a rousing story of devotion to home,
tradition, religion and country.
