d ETHLEHEM of Judea, site of the
ID first Christmas, comes much into
the news every winter as Bethlehem, in
the nation of Jordan. An Arab Moslem
state which scarcely celebrates the Chris
tian holiday, Jordan nonetheless recog-
nizes the importance of the little town
as a goal of pilgrims from all over the
world. The IsraelJordan border at Jeru-
salem, normally sealed off to all but
handful of travellers, is opened for few
hours on December "a to admit visitors
for the short trip to Bethlehem.

the church. The mass is usually cele-
brated by the Latin Patriarch of Jeru-
salem, Msgr. Albert Gori, and is attended
by overflow crowds including many dis

significant church rituals, midnight
mass in the Holy Land takes on addition

The two international affairs di-
rectors, A. L. FISHERMAN of London
and DR.. Maurice L. Perlzweig of
New York, said action had resulted
in
1. A helpful resolution on the
matter at a congress of national
academies in BOgOta, Colombia;
2. An executive order by the
president of Brazil for the revi-
sion of dictionaries used in the
Brazilian public schools.
The Congress officials said that
action insofar as the Spanish die

decision of the Royal Academy
in Spain.
The global world Executive
meeting came to an end with a
celebration marking the 25th an

And to all this our government
has made no effective protest.
Congress is at present debating
an anti-biaS clause in its 1861 For
eign Assistance Act, and one thing
seems clear. In view of President
Kennedy's policy of linking foreign
aid with social justice and moral
ity, a provision authorizing him to
cut off aid to nations guilty of dis
criminatory practices seems to be
a bare minimum of what our ma
tional honor requires.
The matter is before a joint
Senate-HOuse conference commit
tee at this writing, with House
cOnferees working for a much
stronger statement than that sug-
gested by the Senate.
What the final action will be is
still in doubt, but our opinions
should certainly be expressed to
our own representatives in WASH

They might be reminded of an
appropriate remark by President
Grover Cleveland, who said in 1895

OUT OF A REPORT by Maurice
Hindus on the plight of the Jews in
the Soviet Union comes one very
interesting and timely note.
We are about to enter the holiest
season of the Jewish year. a time
OF reassessment for ourselves and
for our people. We shall examine
again the problem and the mystery
OF Jewish survival - a matter of
deep concern in today's difficult
world.
1t is pertinent here to consider
what Mr.. Hindus, a longtime stu
dent of Russia, has to say in his
new book, ''House Without q Roof. !"
According to the Detroit Jewish
News, Mr.. Hindus Travelled in Rus
sia in 1858 and again in 1860. and
he feels that, despite lessening of
terror for the Jews since Stains
death, the situation is still extreme
ly serious.
The anti-Semitic atmosphere
which emanates from the Krem-
lin makes the individual Jew feel
insecure and fearful, and il has
brought about severe decline in
what cultural life has existed for
the Jewish people as a whole.
NevertheleSS-and this is the in
teresting, improbable development
there is an intenSification of Jew
ish consciousness even among the
youth. Young Jews are showing a
definite willingness to be identified
with their people, despite a very
hostile environment.
We must all be affected by this
amazing fact. Judaism survives,
even in the Soviet Union, where
every attempt has been made to
eradicate it.
True, the possibilities of cultural
expression and the opportunity to
educate the present or the coming
generation are minimal. But we
must not despair even here.
Our history is long and full Of
enlightenment on this subject.
Every age has been "an age of
transition" for our people, and yet
we have survived.
Though no one has yet fully ex-

planned how this has come about,
we know that there is an ingredi-
ent in Judaism-Our history, our
ethics, our family life, or our
search for GOd-which keeps US
alive.
But mere physical existence is
meaningless. 1t must be pur-
poseful life that we lead. "You
shall be holy, for 1 the Lord your
God am holy" we are told in Le-
viticus, Chapter 10; and it is to

cultural practices to break
through the production ceiling of
about so bushels per acre.
High versus low seeding rates is
one such practice. Donald Clark
of Kenton reports that he found a
3 bushel advantage for a 45 ID
seeding rate over a 60 III rate for
the Clark variety He feels the
advantage came because the plants
had more room to branch out and
set more bean pods.
Related to this practice is wide
VS.. narrow rows. Most farmers
plant in rows SO to ~ inches apart
because this is how they plant
their corn, but research shows a
2S To 32 inch row produces maxi
mum yields One variation of this
is to plant in AZ inch rows, let the
plants come up enough to see the
rows, rotary hoe and then inter
plant between the rows, so that
the final row width is 21 inches.
The need for lime is one key
toward higher yields. A group of
young Future Farmers in Kent
County high schools will try to
determine the degree to which lime
applied at planting time increases
yields. These trials are being
made by applying burnt lime and
good limestone with the planter in
the row so that it is placed close
to the seed. Ii is well known that
since lime is very insoluble it
should be placed reasonably close
to the growing root area.
Another group of students and
farmer will test the effect of add
ed magnesium on soybean yields.
Magnesium is one of the minor
elements which looms large at
higher levels of production. Bob
Fischer of the Milford Fertilizer
Company has provided the fertil-
izer with and without the added
magnesium in order TO try to get
comparison. The attempt is be-
ing made on soils known by test
to be deficient in magnesium.
The county agent would like to
help and work with any farmer
who is attempting a new techni-
que with soybeans. Call Mr.. Va
paa at REdfield N-144S for more

In proclaiming the quotas, Sec
rotary Freeman said: THE action
taken today does not by any means
preclude the possibility of an inn
proved program for wheat grow
ers this next year. In view of this,
we are not now announcing a date
for the referendum in which far

I'VE are hopeful that we'll have
more effective method of deal
ing with the serious problem of
wheat supplies and wheat produc-
ers' incomes. The great interest
of all concerned in fashiorfing a
better program gives much en-
couragement toward this end. OF
course, the decision on the level
of support for the 1862 crop also
awaits future developments"
To be effective, Chairman Will
son explained, marketing quotas
must be approved by two-thirds of
the wheat producers voting in ref
erendum. Under quotas, produc-
ers who comply with their acre
age allotments may market all the
