BUT SPEAKING of spies,
1 commend to you the recent
biography of the Aaronson
family by Anita Engel of IS
rael. For a dramatic but true
spy story, it is hard to beat.
Nothing has been said of
Sarah AaronSon but some
day, they will build a mOnu-
ment to her and make NOV
ing pictures about her. She
was about 27 or % at the
time. She couldn't do some
thing her brother could do.
Her brother knew every inch
of the soil of Palestine. When
General Allenby came, he
would accompany the general
and tell him just where to
dig to find water, so neceS-
Sary for an army especially
in warm land with slim
water resources.
Sarah Aaronson could not
do that, but she could hang
out the wash on the clothes
line.
White sheets as a signal to
the British of safety. If there
was a red bed cover on the
wash line, that meant danger.
She travelled around gath
ering information about the
Turkish army and their allies,
the Germans, and returned
to the Experimental Station.
She would write the informa-
ton on a piece of paper and
put it in a little cylinder
which would be attached to a
pigeon for General Allenby.
ONE DAY, she went down
to the sea to bathe and she
recognized a pigeon which
she had just sent off to the
British. Apparently the pig
con was thirsty and had
stopped for a drink. She
threw a pebble at the bird
and it got off on it's journey.
But something went wrong.
The pigeon must have
dropped off somewhere else
for refreshments. Anyway,
the Turks got hold of it and
discovered the little cylinder
and it pointed to the Aaron
sons.
Sarah AaronSon insisted on
taking all the blame for her
self. No amount of torture
could get anything out of her.
One day as she was led to
Nazareth for some more in
quisitorial torture, she re-
membered that she failed to
closed a shutter on the top
floor of her house. Closing
and opening the shutter were
also means of signaling to
the British ships.
SHE BEGAN to sing in
Hebrew, which the turks did
not understand, something to
the effect that the shutters
in her house must be closed.
The Jews standing and watch
ing her were first puzzled,
but later they took the hint.
The Turks continued to tor
ture her to extract informa-
ton and finally she could
stand it no more. In one of
her interludeS between tor
ture, she managed to get hold
of a pistol and turned it on
herself.

SHOULD EICHMANN be sent to the gallows as
fitting climax to his infamous career?
What an easy end that would be Eichmann!
Suppose it should come to pass that Eichmann
be sentenced to live his remaining days in Israel.
that the doors of the Jail opened and Echmam
forced to walk the streets of Israel before Israes
who do not talk to him, do not touch him. Let Ech-
mann walk and walk the escapes of German prose-
cution glover at him in silence. Let Echmann walk
and walk till his twisted mind cracks and he becomes
the victim of his crimes against humanity!

SOME HORSEBACK lawyers are questioning Is
raes right to try Eichmann.
After all, they say, Eichmanns crimes were COM
mitted in Germany, not in Israel.
Well, Israel has an historic right to try Eich-
MANN Eichmann is guilty of crimes against the Jew
ish people and today Israel is the Jewish homeland
Moreover it is the country where the victims of Naz
Germany gathered to begin new life.
In the Eichmam trial Israel will be speaking for
the ghosts of six million murdered Jews Israel will
be speaking for you and me, who missed Eichmann's
murder chambers through the grace of living in
great country where Nazsm tried to gain foothold
but never succeeded
The Arizona post., 1960-06-10

BUT THERE is no doubt in my mind that Israel
will give Eichmann fair trial.
Israeli justice will be held up for all the world
to see And it will be in great contrast to the Justice
meted out by Hitler, GOerring, Himner and Eich-
mann.
In reality there is no great Importance whether
Eichmann is sentenced to swing from the galloWs or
is left to rot away his filthy life in jail Not even the
gallows could wipe out Eichmann's hideous crimes.
But the trial of Adolf Eichmam is more import
ant The trial in Israel will deliver millions of words
to the newspapers of the world And at time when
swastkas have been painted in cities around the world
the true story of Nazsm will be pictured again.
The reaction to the Eichmann trial will be i'm
portant alone in Germany where it is reported new
Nazi organization is breeding The trial of Echmann
will strike sharp warning into the hearts of the new
Nazis who dream of another super race.
The trial of Eichmann in Israel will be another
sharp explosion of the super race theory.

SOME EASTERN adherents of civil liberties are
questioning Israels right to try the Naz murderer,
Adolf Eichmann
We say murderer even before the trial, because
in this case the evidence has been documented for
many years. Eichmann held the post of a Nazi Ges-
tapo colonel in charge of "the Jewish question" 1t
his official job to wipe out the Jews of Germany
and Eastern Europe.
Eichmann's label of murderer is well earned.
He did Adolf Eitlers bidding WE'LL AS Ftlers official
mass murdered he is now charged with the Staying
of six million persons.
And some Americans already worrying that
Eichmann will not be given fair trial. Some trial
Eichmann gave those six million Jews!

Meanwhile, the needs of
rural people have changed.

in huge SURPRISES which de-

chronological aspect of agr-

After three days of 1ectur-

little light was thrown on
these goals and values. The
conference, however, was val

educators aware of some of
the less tangible issues with
which rural people are con-

Agricultural education
ON college campuses
and in rural communities
has been conducted for
many years by a close
knit team. This team includes
Land Grant Colleges, Agr1cul-
tural Experimental stations
and the Cooperative Ex-
tension Service.
NOT ONLY FARMERS but
also all the American people
have profited from the re-
search and instruction accom-
pIished by this team. How
ever, far reaching changes on
our college campuses and IN
our rural communities make
it necessary to re-evaluate the
work of these institutions.
a WELL EDUCATED citi-
zenry is an indispensable
foundation for democracy.
Rural people have not been
sighted in this regard. From
the beginning OF this new Re-
public, schools were establish
ed In each village and even
in the open country. Higher
education, too, was made
available to country people.
THE MORRILL, ACT in 1862
provided for the establish
ment of a land Grant Col
lege in each state to do re-
search and to provide instrue"
ton in agricultural, military
and mechanical arts.
THE HATCH ACT In 1887
established Agricultural Ex-
perimental Stations through
out the nation.
THE SMITH-LEvER ACT OF
1914 created the Cooperative
Extension Service as a part
of the Land Grant College
system TO make available to
farm people the findings of
our colleges and experimental
stations. Agents of the Exs
tension Service were appoint
ed to assist and advise the
people in the counties.
The rapid advance of
American farmers In farm
ing. h~omemaking and com
munity life is due in no small
way to the work of these ln-
situations. Yet IN recent years
it has become progressively
more evident that these In
stitutlonS need to adjust their
goals and policies. This need
for readjustment arose part
~ from changes within these
institutions and partly from
changes in the rural com
munities which they serve.
WITH THE PASSING of
the years the faculties of
Land Grant Colleges turned
their attention more to the
material and chronological as
poets of agriculture and less
to the cultural. religious and
social interests of rural peo-
pie.
Nearly all higher education
al institutions were undergo
ing a similar trend during this
period trend which
stemmed ultimately from the
mentality of the nation as a
whole.
OF NECESSITY, the instruc-
ton of the Extension Service
in rural communities reflect
ed the attitudes and policies
of the Land Grant Colleges.

RURAL
:
Balance OF Power
In Gods Hands

created land and water. This
was perfect balance-God's
balance. Nature has its own
way, which is Gods way, of
keeping in balance. Here's an
example,:
During the early 1905 IN
the Dakotas, Nebraska and
Kansas, dust storms, grass
hoppers and hot winds COM
blned forces to destroy crops.
Only the hardest forms Of
vegetation survived. One of
these was the Russian thistle
with prickly stem and leaves.
TT THRiVED and because
cattle were hungry, they ate
1t to keep from starving.
When weather conditions be-
came more normal 1t appear
ed that the Russian thistle
had usurped the land. 1t was
difficult to destroy and it was
prolific.
But nature again brought
about a balance by supplying
a pest that destroyed the
thistle. So, after it had served
its purpose and had become
a threat to the balance of
power in nature, it was eli
minated.
THIS HISTORY of the world
is filled with tragic accounts
of what happened when ma
tons and men achieved too
much power and abused it.
We need recall only Rome
and Greece, Hitler and Musso-
lini to see what happens
when power is centralized and
abused. God has His own way
of bringing things back into
balance.
In the Old Testament, we
find many examples of the
abuse of power and Gods way
of offsetting it. One of the
most striking will be found
in the Book of Daniel In
which is told the story of the
three youths who refused TO
worship the golden statue.
The alp owerful king,
Nabuchidonosor, was angry
and ordered them bound and
thrown into the fiery furnace.
Scripture records that they
walked in the midst of the
flames, unframed. And they
asked all creatures to praise
God-the sun, the moon, the
stars. the light, the darkness,
the cattle, the fowls of the air
and the fish of the sea. Fin
ally they prayed:
20 We sons of men, bless
the Lord: praise and exah Him
above all forever"
THE LESSON LIES in the
prayer of the three young
men saved from the flames.
They asked the forces OF ma
ture, the beasts and the fish,
the sun and the moon, as
we'll as men, TO praise and
exalt God. They acknowl-
edged him as the Creator of
all created things.
We must remember that
the balance of power, in the
final analysis, is In the hands
OF God.

WE LIVE I'M AN AGE in

In our world today, the bal
ance of power lies between
the United States and other
nations OF the free world, on
the one hand, and the Com
munist states. led by Russia
and Red China, on the other.
The communists want TO
destroy this balance and they
are using every means at
their command TO dominate
the world. That has been and
still is their objective.
THIS STRUGGLE between
nations of the free world and
those in which communism
is dominant is, In a sense, a
struggle between believers
and non-belieyerS. The COM
munists do not believe in
God. To them the state is
supreme and anything they
do to further the interests Of
their state is good.

nations he has overTun. He
lies to the people Of the free
world. He represents a way
of life in which God is not
recognized. Because the COM
munist has no belief in God,
he doesn't believe in the
hereafter.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN if
communism becomes domi-

balance of power that exists
today is destroyed? God will
