The perpetrators of "GI
Blues" the movie that returns
Elvis Presley to civilian life,
undoubtedly would Shudder at
the mere thought that someone
might detect a message in their
movie. There is one there,
though. in plain view Of all at
the Metropolitan and Ambas-
sador Theaters.
The message of "GI Blues
is that those who guide Mr..
Presley's career apparently
consider his devoted following
to be composed entirely of
slack-witted dolts who will hold
still for anything stupid set
before them. This is perhaps a
natural assumption, since the
pelvic balladeer has wooed and
won his audience with a
monotonous singing style, in
a language that is virtually
incomprehensible.
1t is hardly fair, however,
to treat ElviS' idolators as
mental def1cients simply be-
cause they have less than the
best taste in the selection of
singing idols. Even they deserve
better than "GI Blues" a vapid
frolic in which Elvis plays a
CT in Germany who woos an
alleged iceberg played by
Juliet Prowse in order to win
a bet.
Any movie Offering the I'M
likely spectacle of a man
pursuing Miss Prowse solely
to win a bet is supplemented
to start with and this one gets
no better as it goes along
Neither the presence of Miss
Prowse, a fetching long-stem-
med pixie, nor the direction oil
Norman Taurog can save it
The fact that Elvis renders
some 10 songs may make the
whole thing worthwhile for his
doting fans, but even that il
problematical.
Now, if you'll prepare your.
self for the shock, Elvis here
seems to be an agreeable youns
man who does not take him.
self half so seriously as hi!
adoring followers do. Thi,
makes "GI Blues" Somethine
of a historic film. 1t is thu
first Elvis Presley movie il
which the painful ingredien
is the screenplay, not the STAR
performance.

Suez policy.
It is not too late to get this mes
sage to our representatives in
Washington.
WE HAVE BEEN talking about
ways of helping our children live
their Judaism in their every day
lives.
We try to teach them ethical
principles, but we need to drama
tie them in way which children
will understand.
1 have found THAI children re-
spond to prayer-not just the Sab
bath or holiday variety, but the
prayers of every day which express
an awareness of the beauty of the
world and a gratitude for the
bounty of God.
The Shehechyanu is one of these.
1t is recited not only at the be-
ginning of holiday, but when one
eats the first fruit of the season or
arrives at an occasion long awaited
in the new season. This has become
a familiar and beloved prayer in
our home.
Another family tradition which
children find comforting and heart
warming is the reciting of the
morning prayer, Modeh Ami. 1t is
a simple Hebrew prayer, easy to
remember. In the original it has
kind of rhythm which your chill
dren will enjoy. To supplement it
here is an English translation, by
Rabbi Joseph Klein of Worcester,
Mass:
my grateful thanks to Thee I
bring
o living, everlasting King;
While yet I lay in slumber deep,
Thy peace was present in my
sleep;
And now my strength hast Thou
restored.
How great Thy mercies are, 0

NEW YORK-The duty of the re-

in a 15-minute color motion pic

The authenticity of this story of
human tragedy and triumph re-
fleets the many visits to the City
of Hope and its Children's Wing by
the writer, Robert Dozier, inspired

the show is Ronald Reagan.

American Medical Associations

observations of the City of Hopes
pioneering program of parent par
ticipation in the daily care OF fatal
ly-afflicted children. U
Reality of the play is emphasized
by exterior scenes of the City of
Hope and faithful studio reproduc-

including room furnishings and
decor accented by Walt Disney

years or leap years, have not a
uniform duration in the Jewish
reckoning. According as the months
Of Kislev and Cheshvan have 20
or 80 days, ordinary years vary
between 353, 354, and 355 days, and
leap years between 1888, 384, and
1856 days. By these means the math-
ematical exactness Of the Jewish
Calendar was secured. Scaliger, a
renowned non-J ewiSh scholar, de-
clared, There is nothing more
perfect than. the calculation of the
Jewish year"
The fixation of the festivals were
thus established by the guide of the
jewish calendar. In biblical and
early Talmudic times, the Sanhed-
rim fixed the new moons by actual
observation, and the dates were an
nounced by messengers from Jeru-
salem to surrounding countries.
Later, the dates were set by
astronomical calculations, which
field was the specially of many
rabbis.
ACCORDING TO THE Jewish
calendar, Rosh Hashanah (the first
day) could never fall on Sunday,
Wednesday, or Friday. This rule
secured, among other things, that
Yom Kippur not either immediate
ly follow the Sabbath.
Aside from the fact that with the
Exodus from Egypt, Jews began
the countings of their seasonal
festivals which never changed since
the establishment of this calendar,
it also occasioned the putting of
emphasis on the Importance of the
festivals in the life and history of
Israel.
The Exodus from Egypt had an
other aspect as well, namely that
it became not only one of the great
est events and epochs in the history
of the Jews, but one of the greatest
events and epochs in the history of
human civilization. To that success
full escape from slavery, Europe,
American, and Australia are as
much indebted as the Jews them
selves. The Exodus presented itself
as lesson in the progress Of hui
manity and of the world.

The World Over

Nazi-inspired, whether caused by
hatred or hooliganism, these activi-
ties must not go unpunished. This
much we have learned from the
tragic errors of the early Hitler
days.
But there is much else that must
be said.
Anti-Semitism is no longer a
Jewish problem. Its manifestations
hurt the Jews, of course, but the
problem itself is international. And
in its religious aspect it is a Chris
tan and Mohammedan problem.
"Jewry will survive the present
Storm" writes Philip Slomovits,
editor of the Detroit Jewish News,
'just as we have weathered the
most serious ones in our history.
We may even emerge spiritually
stronger as a result :.
"It is those of our neighbors who
are committing the crime of anti
Semitism for whom we have chief
concern. If they do not cure them
selves of the virus of hatred and
bigotry, they and their children
will suffer with those whom they
now seek to harm"
Now to a more positive lesson
for us, who are Jews:
lone of the ways" says Slomo-
vitz, "by which we should condemn
the criminals s. is by our deter
mined will and our readiness to
retain our dignity, and by reaffirm-
ing our allegiance to our Jewish
heritage.
"This is not only our strongest
weapon; it is one that has never
been dulled and always has led to
triumph in our battle for survival. :"
