The Civil War And American Jewry

central fact: The Jew in
America, North and South,
played his role in the Civil
War to the full; the Jew,
like his neighbors in Amer
lea, was part of his coun-
try's horrible travail; like his
neighbors, the Jew fought
the "irrepressible conflict"
with everything he had, life
and limb, brain and bravery,
money and muscle; above all,
with patriotism to his new
country = "that the Nation
might live" And one added
factor is pointed up by the
exhibit. Unlike his Christian
neighbor, the Jew during the
Civil War period also fought
for his right to exist, to live,
to fight, to worship and to
sacrifice - as a Jew.
The American Jews role
in the Civil War is so much
more impressive when one
recalls that, of the approx
imately 10000 Jews in the
United States in 1860, fully
tWo-thirds were newcomers,
immigrants fresh from the
represSions, the poverty and
the prosecutions to which
they were subjected in
Europe.

Jewish abolitionist fleeing a

struggle.
Rabbi Morris j. Raphall,
who in 1861 attracted wide
notice (and not all of it un-
favorable) for his famous
sermon defending slavery as
a "divinely ordained institu-
tion," had emigrated to New
York only in 1849.

more than anyone else to-
ward amending an act of

South or North may go on to

AS it happened, East didn't
take the sacrifice. He knew
that South was a bad player.
If there was a way to go down
at five clubs, South would find
it. And so it turned out.
Plays Quickly
South ruffed the second
spade. drew trumps with the
ace and king. and then started
the diamonds. It went just
about as quickly as that, but
South slowed up when East
discarded on the second round
of diamonds.
South couldn't get to his

He had to continue with a

WORDS, WIT

Washington, D. C., Mondoy.
ACROSS
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

Q. The plural of man is
men" If there we're any logic
in our language, I guess the
plural form would be mans
but let that pass. What I'm
really concerned about is why
the plural form of woman
varies from the singular by a
change in accent of the first
syllable.
I don't suppose I'm making
myself too clear, but if you say
"woman-women' aloud. you'll
hear that the second ,syllables
are just about the same. The
change is in the first syllable.
How come?--Mrs. M. D. NJ,
Old Greenwich. Conn.
A. Woman" appropriately
enough, is one of the more per-
picking and unusually formed
words in our language. 1t all
starts with man," the Anglo
Saxon word for human being,
to which was prefixed wifi"
for female" (That's the same
wifi" by the way, from which
wife" comes.) 80.
That gives us "wifmann''
which gradually became win.
man" and eventually woman,
with the plural from women.
But the pronunciation
"WIM-'n" carried over from
the earlier phase when the
Evening star., 1961-12-04

plural of "wiinman" was
"wimmen."
All clear-or, at least. as
clear as anything dealing with
the fairer sex can be?
incidentally, both these
words form plurals in accord
ance with an Old English form
Zen" which survives in very
few other words today. Three
that come readily to mind are
oxen" brethren" and, Of
course, children"

A good player would make
the contract by dropping

He would discard two hearts

Rockville Joins Effort to Reduce Cancer Toll

The Rockville Woman's Club
has joined campaign urging
women to undergo periodic ex-
aminations in an effort to re-
duce the incidence of cancer
cases discovered in late stages.
The crusade, a project this
year of the General Federation
of Women's Clubs, was pointed
up last week when members
heard DR. William Frank de-
scribe the vast effort to learn
about cancer and possible meth
DDS of treating the disease. DR..
Frank is chief acknowledgements
research at Walter Reed Insti-
tute of Research and a consult.
ant to the National Cancer In
stitute.
Almost every university In
the country, DR.. Frank said, has
one or more projects under way
on some phases of research af-
fecting cancer. There is no such
thing as a special cancer test"
he emphasized, adding that
every individual must have a
complete physical examination
to detect the disease at a stage
early enough that treatment can
be initiated with some hope of
stopping the spread.
A major problem with many
new drugs, he explained. is that
they attack both the cancer cells
and good cells, thus imposing
severe limitations on use in ad.
vance treatment.
Commenting on the Pap
Smear Test" a technique devel-
oped by DR.. George N. Papan-
icolaou, DR.. Frank explained
that this test picks UP evidence
of cancer at a very early stage
before generous growth could
be seen by a doctor or other
symptoms appear.
During the business session
club members voted to continue
for the third year a project of
assistance to the Psychitaric
Youth Services unit of the
Health Department In its exper-
iment with group therapy for
mentally disturbed children re-
ferred by the school system.
Approval was also given for
