up 1 slowed my fall to about
100 miles an hour. When
Bouquin Strengthened out he
was probably falling at close
to 200 miles an hour. The
average rate is about 125
miles an hour. The chute
slows us down to about 200
feet a second. When you hit
the ground in an ordinary
chute it's like jumping off a
10-foot wall. But these are

jumping off a 16-foot wall"
Bouquin explained how he
had hit the target. Most of
the correction is made while
they are falling free. They
can lean in such a manner
that in their free fall of
several thousand feet they
can open their chutes a
couple a hundred feet off

A dispute fiared today over

that he was particularly dis

replacement for Hine in the

"Statistically, we don't see

these new schools would be
wonderful if we had the money.

John Sykes. deputy budget
officer in charge of public
works, said that Randall and
Jefferson Junior High Schools
now have fewer pupils than
their maximum potential en-
rollment and could handle the
load from Hine.'
He said that Hine was built
in three steps, one part in 1887,
another in 1891, and a third in
1923. He added that the sec
ton constructed in 1928 is still
in good shape and could be
used even if the two older sec
tionS are torn down.
Mr.. Sykes suggested that un-
ruly pupils now housed in one
section of Randall Junior High
School could be transferred to
the 1923 Hine wing.

the man who would ascend
with his parachute, hanging
from a smoke filled balloon,
and then cut loose high over
the fair grounds; his COM
petitor who would dive from
a 100-foot platform into a
container Of water not much
bigger than a bathtub; Hugo
Zacchini, who was shot from
a cannon and went Somer-
Saulting through the air the
full length of the old Ring
ling circus tent.
But never has he seen any,
thing to approach the thrill
ing stunts put on by the
United States Army sky
diving team at Montgomery
County Air Park, near Rock
vile, Saturday.
The boys are from Fort
Bragg, N. c., members of the
famous 82d and 101st Air
borne Divisions. They have
been demonstrating their
skill at falling through the
air at out-of-door events
around the country. They
are in great demand for the
State fair circuit.
They consider 1t a sport
and they love to do it.
The team returned to Fort
Bragg on August 18 from
world championships COM
petition behind the Iron
Curtain at Sofia, Bulgaria.
One of them, James L.
Arender, who is an expert
diver Unto water from the
16-foot springboard, took
first place in the individual
style jump. He had to ex-
ecute five turns and a back
ward loop before he opened
his parachute.
The Rambler watched them
leap Saturday from a Vertol
18-seat helicopter, the big
gest type in operation, which
followed their single-engined
Otter (made by De Havilland
in Canada) up to 10000 feet.
ONE BOY JUMPED from a
mile high. Even from that
distance the earth seemed a
long way below. We were
tense 1.-TWO press photogra-
pliers and myself as our
co-pilot signaled "one min
ute" Sixty seconds later,
the boy jumped. His legs
were stiff and wide apart
and he was fitting over to
his right. He waved to us
as he fell by. He disappeared
below the chopper without
opening his chute.
1t was ghastly-like the
exit Of the villain in a modern
horror film - much more
exciting than the "Perils of
Pauline" or Harold Lloyd's
Safety Last"
At two miles up, when
fields of several acres below
looked no larger than postage
stamps, two of the boys took
off, one after the other. The
first, Harry Arter, fell in a
sort of hunched-up position
with his knees bent. He was
falling "slow." The second,
Gerald Bouquin, plunged
erect, feet together, hands at
the side, like man making
a high Jump into water. He
was falling fast" When he
caught up with Arter, both
f1attened, belly down and
arms and legs spread out.
Arter passed a baton Git was
part of a branch of a tree)
to Bouquin, who accepted it.
We went back to the
ground in the chopper and
were relieved indeed to find
everyone all right. After
falling 5000 feet free and de-
scending the remaining 1000
in his chute, Bouquin had hit
the target, which was an
ordinary-sized white bed
sheet.

tions, but have no interest in religion.
They contribute to the Combined Jewish
Appeal, but not as much as they should.
In fact, some of the larger contribu-
tors to the Jewish Appeal are non-Jewish
banks and other firms doing business
with Jews. Small as the Jewish commu-
nifty is the Jews in st. Petersburg do not
live congested as group, but are rather
dispersed in the various areas of the city.
And they like it this way.
They tell you they have no wish to
create "ghettos," as is the case in many
suburbs in other parts of the United
States. Nevertheless, they are not ad-
mitted to the major social clubs, although
relations between Christians and Jews IN
the city are very friendly.
The friendship seems to be a purely
business friendship, since most of the
Jews in ST. Petersburg are engaged IN
business. Their economic position is moth
ing to complain about, but their interest
in Jewish affairs leaves much to be de-
sired, despite the existence of the Bnal
Birth, Hadassah and other organized
Jewish groups in the city.

Saul Carson:
German Jews Now Jews First!

But the figures by themselves are
not too significant. Of Importance is the
life behind the statistics. And the youth.
And the children.
The religious schools have enrolment
of only 100 children, attending classes
three times a week. There is also a Tai
mud Torah. Since much of the Jewish
population is in the older age brackets,
this number is not as small as it seems.
For in addition to the 100 school children,
there are $50 youths-boys and girls
holding full membership in the Commu-
nifty Center. And there is the kindergarten.
BerIin's Jewish community is-except
for it's small Sze-like any other Jewish
community anywhere in the free world.
It has an active Zionist Organization; it
conducts annually very successful drives
for overseas campaigns similar to the
United Jewish Appeal in the United
States 1t buys Israel bonds, contributes
toward reforestation in Israel through
the Jewish National Fund. 1t supports its
local institutions handsomely.
In numbers by comparison with the
past, the community is small now. But
the best indication of the difference be-
tween this new Jewish community and
the old is this: Until October 1885, the
official, corporate title of the German
Jewish community was Central Organl-
zation of German Citizens of the Jewish
Faith" 1t was only when some of the
Jews here had begun to suspect Hitler's
motives that they changed the title of
their organization to Central Organiza-
ton of Jews in Germany"
1t had taken long time for the old
German Jews to see the light. Now they
know better. They are Germans, yes But
they are Jews. The Observation-Disclosures
headquarters proclaims itself without
pussy-footing as the Jewish Community
of Berlin"
They know their history. They un-
derstand the day in which they live. They
see future-because they know there is
one here for them-even here.
