ponder on its significance,
afterward, in a meditative
mood, put down on paper
this comment: Here is one of
those terse sayings that brings
you up against big issues with
a bump. In three sentences
1t sets this complex life of
ours in the abiding frame
work of eternity. enduring, in
destructible. 1t reminds us
that time, this commodity out
Of which life is made, does
something more than pass.
Every day puts something in
or takes something out, until
one day life draws a line and
adds up the total and presents
us with a bill for what we
have done with the days"
Every man is the sum of all
the days he has lived.
A great American declared
that for him the most i'm
pressive sentence in litera-
ture is from Job: His bones
are full of the sin Of his
youth which shall lie down
with him in the dust" Com
menting upon these words a
wise educator declared: "It's
all true. I have seen the
deeds Of the day sinking into
the bones of the young, and
1 have seen them lying down
with the aged in the dust of
their graves" This comes to
pass in the books that you
read. and the thoughts you
harbor, and the interests
that devour your time. These
go down into ones bones, and
they are there to stay. Mans
bones are full of the sin of
his youth and the sin of

and they lie down with him
IN the dust. That is exactly
what one does with the time
which it is his tn seize each
new day-he puts what he
does and what he thinks into
his bones. And what is put

The final question as every
"a hours we face the chal-
lenge. seize the day, is not
what time is doing to us
but what we are doing to
time. What really matters in
all the furry of this fieeting
life is the kind of person we
are making in it, and the
stuff we carry in ourselves
when we come to the end of
it.
Studdert Kennedy, the
English preacher, has left
some OF the most pungent
verses in modern literature,
based on what it means to
seize the day. He said that
when he came to the judg-
ment bar Of God he expected
the Judge of all the earth
to ask him just one question:
well. what did you make of
it?"-which is to say: I gave
you time. each dawning-
time more precious than all
the diamonds of Kimberley.
or the opals of Australia, or
the rubies Of Burma. Did you
seize it and use it to make
yourself the person I meant
you to be?"
So let us look with glad
and radiant expectation.

The reason they were out of
work was because Of the lack
of orders at the mills.
Now last year, when they
had work, they refused to
work for Is weeks. Yes, I
know they were out on strike,
but did these same workers
stand up in the union meet
ing and tell their leader that
they were going to vote not
to strike? If they had they
would have been marked for
discipline. The point I wish
to make, is, a person has
more freedom to express an
opinion on the President of
these United States, and get
away with it, than he has
in expressing dissatisfaction
with the way a union is be-
ing run.
I have yet to hear a steel
worker or a steel workers
wife say that he or she has
benefited one bit as the re-
suit Of the strike. Now that
the party they supported will
come in to power next Janu-
airy, and as a result they will
have a full dinner-pail, they
can go to the stores now and
buy all the things they want
for Christmas and pay next
year. What a boon that will
be to business. Hopeful.
If the majority of the peo-
pie vote for Mr.. Nixon, or
If Senator Kennedy leads
by a microscopic majority as
he does now. I believe that
Senator Kennedy should
modify his policies to suit
the majority Of the people.
He could also appoint some
capable Republicans in adj
ministration posts or in the
cabinet. This way Senator
Kennedy would get both
sides of the picture before a
decision is made. In this way,
and in this way only, can the
majority of the people be
served. Juris G. Odins.

SPIRES OF THE SPIRIT
Selling the Day
By DIR. FREDERICK BROWN HARRIS
Chaplain Of the United States Senate

just as each night with its
blessed forgetfulness in sleep
is a little death. In the mir
acle Of dawning light, as the
shadows fee, the one price,
less treasure that is put into
our hands Is time. We lie
down and close our eyes and
become oblivious to our sur
roundings as II we had come
to the end Of living. And,
then, when morning gilds
the skies, the closed windows
Of sense are thrown open
again and. waiting for us to
open, where our fingers can
grasp it, is the shining pack
age Of a new day.
One of the most admired
friends is not far from his
Tooth birthday. His richly
stored mind is as scintillating
as ever. He Is as keenly alive
to the issues of this decade
of destiny as any person I
know. He is profound, yet
simple-erect and humble.
yet fearless. AS he nears his
own centenary he still bub-
bles with humor. But what
he Is and what he does is not
measured by years. but by
days. He Is the register Of
what he has done with the
days in his pilgrim journey
across the years. Always he
has seized with a holy pur-
pose the new days as they
have come.
1t is solemnly true that
what we do with the days
makes or mars the future,
The one testing question
which determines what we
are becoming is what do we
do with the time which we

old when darkness is gone?
We are always talking about
taking time for this or that.
but for what do we take
time?
That old question Of Job is
freighted with significance:
Have you commanded the
morning." The one who
petulantly complains II Just
don't have time" actually has
all the time there is. And
the most vital bit of all the
time one will ever know is
labeled To-day" And when
we have extracted its glory
or squandered its golden op-
portunities it is gone forever.
Time comes to each of us in
daily installments. Years,
months, and weeks are arti-
fetal measurements of pass
ing time. But the span that
is finally reckoned in years is
poured first for our use into
the separate golden chalices
of days.
1t is a lovely legend that,
when asked what he missed
most in the celestial bliss from
which for rebellion he had
been expelled, the Prince of
EVIL replied: II miss most the
sound Of the trumpets in the
morning" For any mortal to
miss those clarion notes which
summon to new achievement
is to be barred from the
heaven which waits to battle
each new day with radiance
sublime and divine. Life's i'm

cation of top Mapai leaders then went to
SIDE Boxer and persuaded Mr.. Ben-Gurion
to come out of retirement and resume the
post of Minister of Defense.
Mr.. Lavon maintained throughout
that the testimony against him before the
inquiry committee was false, and limited
that there might even have been some
collision aimed to force his resignation.
There the matter rested for years. Several
months ago, one of the important wit
nesses before the inquiry committee was
brought to trial on matter unrelated to
the 1854 affair During the testimony at
his trial, the defendant repeatedly adj
mitted having given false testimony be-
fore the inquiry committee, and impli-
Gated two high ranking officers in the
perjury. Whereupon Mr.. Ben-Gurion, as
Minister of Defense, instructed the Chief
of Staff to appoint new investigation
committee to inquire into the conduct of
the two officers during the 1854 inquiry.
Mr.. Lavon was abroad for medical
treatment and he returned in September.
He demanded that, on the basis of the
material that came to light during the
recent trial. sufficient evidence developed
to prove that untrue testimony and even
falsified documents were submitted to the
original inquiry committee, and therefore
full public rehabilitation should be given

JERUSALEM, (JTA)-For two weeks
now the mysterious "Lavon affair" has
been on the front pages of the Israeli
press Papers went into considerable de-
tails as to certain circumstantial events
and developments, did lot of specializing
regarding the motives and intentions OF
the main characters involved-but avoided
disclosing the central facts of the issue.
This is quite understandable, since the
TaVon affair" concerns very delicate
security matter, and it is no secret that
there is military censorship in Israel. And
while there is quite often dispute be-
tween the press and the censorship as TO
what should be termed security matter
falling under the censorship regulations,
in this case it was generally accepted that
the original story of the affair indeed is a
security matter.
What can be told in broad outline is
as follows: Almost six years ago, an un-
fortunate event occurred in delicate field
of national security. At that time, MIR. Ben
Gurion was in retirement at SIDE Boxer,
Moshe Sharett was Prime Minister, and
PinhaS LaVon (noW Secretary General Oh
Histadrut) was Minister of Defense. An
inquiry committee of two was appointed,
consisting of Chief Justice Olshan ana
former Chief of Staff Jacob Dorl. Inc
committee actually heard testimony not
only on the security event involved but
also on Mr. Lavon's way of conducting
the affairs of the Ministry OF Defense.
1t is no secret that relations between Mr.
Lavon and top officials of his Ministry
were far from being smooth and friendly
The secret report of the inquiry COM
mittee is understood to have failed to
come to unequivocable conclusions on the
specific issue, but it is believed that 1t
also contained some of the untaVoraole
testimony voiced against Mr.. Lavon IN

report, and the failure of Mr. Lavon TO

,rIuIIIIIm by David Schwartz


as i sit down to write this
piece on how to end the cold
war, the shift key on the
typewriter to make capitals
doesn't work. if this were
modern poetry, it would be
all right. also in hebrew, or
if the greeks and the romans
and the english had chung to
the original way the alpha
bet was written, it would also
have been okay.
the word alphabet comes
from the first two hebrew or
phoenecian letters, aleph and
beth. the phoenecians intro
duced it to the greeks, as the
greeks say, they got the al
phabet from cadmus, the
phoenecian. cadmus means
in phoenecian and hebrew
the easterner, like the zionist
song, kedima, eastward.
from the greeks, the rO-
mans got the alphabet. both
made some changes, intro
ducing a couple of new let
tiers, also writing it from left
to right instead of right to
left, also they introduced cap
itals at the beginning of the
sentences, which makes il
take more time to write. the
hebrews and the phoenecians
wanted to save time. they not
only didn't use capitals, but
for the most part, omitted
vowels. they made it into a
kind of speedwriting.
from the letters of the he
brew alphabet you can get a
pretty good picture of the
life of our ancestors. that
they were pastoral people,
you can see by such letters
as aleph (a) which means OK,
gimmel (g) which means
camel, famed CD meaning
goad which was used to drive
the oxen. that they did a lot
of fishing is shown by nun
(n) meaning fish, mem (m)
meaning water and vav (V)
meaning hooks to catch the
fish.
their chic agricultural
staple was Zayin CD which
means olives.
they lived in a beth (b)
meaning house and it had a
dalet I'D which means door.
a number of the letters are
about the parts of the body.
thus yod or y means hand,
resh (r) from rosh which
means head, shin or the sh
sound, which means teeth.
when god proposed to Gre
ate the world, say the rabbis
of the midrash, all the letters
of the alphabet competed for
the honor that crea on
should begin with them. all
except aleph, which modestly
did not assert its claims. fl
nally beth was chosen be-
cause it is the initial letter
of the word beracha meaning
blessing. so the bible story
telling of the creation begins
with the hebrew letter beth.
god rewarded aleph for its
modesty by making it leadoff
the alphabet.
there is a great deal in jew
ish literature about the aleph
beth. everyone knows the old
yiddish popular song
"und auf dem pripichok
brent a feurel und in shtub
is haiSS.
und der rebbi lernt kleine
kinderlach
dem aleph beiss"
the sanity rabbi elijah, the
great gaon wilma, who
studied under many teachers,
said he was most apprecia-

had taught him the aleph
