NEW YORK (JTA)-The aver
age annual growth of 13,600 in
membership of Jewish Community
Centers and YM-YWHAs recorded
since 1948 was exceeded in 1858
when the gain was $4,000, bringing
the total to sos, 900, according to
report published by the National
Jewish Welfare Board. The 1860
membership was estimated at
nearly $4,000.
The continued membership
growth was attributed to the open
ing of new Center buildings result
ing in membership gains in those
centers, and to improved Center
programs and services and greater
participation in Center activities.
Another contributing factor was the
trend toward Jewish family mem
bership and away from individual
membership. One out of every
three Jewish Community Centers
and YM-YWHAs affiliated with the
JWB now enrolls members only on
a family basis because Centers are
rapidly becoming family-oriented
and providing more programming

Mankind descending from Adam
became hopelessly corrupt and was
swept away by the deluge. N n
alone was spared. But before
many generations pass away, man
kind once again becomes implous.
-"And God said let Abraham be-
and there was light" is the pro-
found saying of the Midrash. In
MANY a beautiful legend, the Rao-
his recount how Abraham refused
to walk in the way OF the tower
builders, and broke away from the
debasing heathenism of his con-
temporaries.
Abraham, the idol-wrecker, oe-
came the father of that people
which was to shatter all idolatries;
which was TO succeed in turning
the course of history by the per-
petuation of true religion for the
children of men. The call OF Abra-
ham is the beginning of the higher
spiritual life of humanity.
With Abraham, the nature of the
Book of Genesis changes. In its
first eleven chapters, it gave ar
account of the dawn of human so
ciety. The remainder of the Boof
is the story of the founders of the
people, whose destiny, in the Hgn
of Gods purpose, forms the mair
theme of Scripture. These tound
ers of the Jewish People are de
picted not as divine or semi-dlvln'
beings, as in the case of the myth

ISTANBUL (JTA) - An Arab
Trade Center will be opened IN
Turkey soon, it was reported here,
in an effort to improve CONNER

The disclosure of plans for the

Arab countries of boycott against
Turkish tobacco and cigarets, after
Turkey Cancelled a contract with
Israel for the manufacture of Turk

was indicated that the cancellation
was made entirely for business

With Abraham, we leave the dim
Primeval World and enter the full

generation ago, Bible critics
looked upon the Patriarchal stories

turned him into a fetish stone;

STARRY heavens" and a fourth

habits and share responsible
ties as children generally make
higher incomes as adults than
do those who don't share home
work.
Studies and surveys also show
that adults have greater feel
ings of satisfaction about work
that they learned to do as child
rem. Some adults never learn
to like household tasks that
they did not learn to do when
younger.
Children are more likely to
like to do what they can do
well. This makes it important
for you parents to take time to
teach your child how to do a
new task. Work really gives a
child a feeling of usefulness and
Importance in the family group,
when he can do it well and gets
some recognition for his efforts.
Of course, as children get
older they like to have some
part in deciding the responsible
lities of work in and around
their home. They can be un-
happy about work that they
think is not fairly divided among
members of the family. Family
discussion in which all take part
can keep down friction and help
children see the why" of what
they do.
Are you a parent who thinks
you are doing your children a
favor by not having them to
do something yourself than to
let Johnny or Mary do it?
1t may take more time, but
remember, Johnny and Mary
need the opportunity to develop
worthy attitudes toward work
and skill in doing it. Then
when they have mastered these,
they can help save time for
Nom and Dad. And most I'M
portant they'll grow up much
more able to earn their own
living and be a better husband
or wife.

The Old
South
by Eve l.. Burwen

The Crows had to carry their
own food
A hundred years after the
first shot was fired we Amer
leans cannot even agree on a
name for our Civil War. Much
less on what caused it or what
happened. However, we do
know this much, it was a mon
strous struggle in which each
side tried to beat the other to de-
ath and who newer have for
given each other. They have
shaken hands and smiled for
history's photographers, to be
sure. (Now they are planning a
great celebration.)
The South so Frustrated she
scarcely could breathe, and so
flat on her back that it took her
twenty five years to stand up,
and seventy five years to walk
without help. The North bred
a bitterness that still flares to-
day, in more ways than one. 1t
is found in books, ballgames,
barroom braWls, and Letters to
the Editors Columns.
1t revolutionized the science
and the art, of mass slaughter,
taught us how to wage war thr-
ough CONSUMPTION, and to fin
ance tenn by bond issues. It
made negroes free men but not
citizens, and then sired the Four
teenth Amendment that did. ut
brought scandels, graft, and
suicides, made a flock of mil
lionaries, and sent brothers and
cousins against one another.
There is no record of how
many southern soldiers were
killed in the War. The figure
258, 900 is generally accepted,
but this is definitely not correct
as many of the South's skinny
records were lost and burned,
in fires that lasted for four long
years. Fires burned over thous-
ands and thousands of miles,
and left the land SO barren and
desOlate, that as l have always
heard, Even the Crows had to
carry their own food when they
flew over the south land. "Only
the vultures got fat"
The South didn't even have
ink to write records with, much
less to record her dead. Sher-
man left waste and misery, cha
rred ruins in his path through
the South. Lees men were
only ghosts and Johnson's men
we're mere skeletons. Why did
sherman burn Atlanta? There
was no Confederate Army there
at the time. This is the hour
that causes Georgians to get
white with rage and froth at the
mouth. Why did he burn Col

He was out to win a War, and
