RUSSIANS HAD
A WORD FOR IT:
'COSMONAUT'

MOSCOW (AP).-Nikita
S. KhruShchev and Soviet
publications yesterday
came up with "cosmonaut"
to describe the space man.
That combines Cos
mos" with a syllable from
"astronaut." That old
fashioned words seems to
fit still, since astronautics
long has been defined as
the science dealing with
the possibility of inter-
planetary space travel.
"AStro" is from the
Greek word for stars.
"Naut" is from nautics, the
art of navigation.

The annual rummage sale Spon-

urday in the Agriculture Building

Proceeds of the sale go to the
Visiting Nurse Service and the Jane
Wayland Child Center, formerly
the Maricopa Child C u d n
Clinic. Since the center first opened
in 1854, the Auxiliary has contrib
uted a total of $12, 2,808.55 towards
it's operation. Since it costs ap-
proximately $500 for each case
evaluated and treated at the Clinic,
the Medical Society Auxiliary,
through its rummage sale, has
made it possible for 43 children to
receive psychiatric care.

Then we searched the house
for "chametz" and set aside the
last crumbs to be burned on the
morning before the holiday.
All this, of course, was but pre-
lude to the Seder, with its child
centered -four questions, its re-
citations and its songs, the extra
cup of wine for Elijah, and the
breathlesS moment when the door
was opened for his "visit". And the
food! It was anything but anti
climactic, for-rich or poor-this
was a night when good food was
provided.
WE DID NOT know when we
were very small that the Seder
began with the warm-hearted state
ment: 'Let all who are hungry
come and eat, phrase expressive
of our feeling that we must never
rejoice without remembering the
poor.
We didn't know then that the
Seder celebrated the rescue of our
people from slavery or that the
exodus meant the birth of the con-
cept of freedom.
We didn't know or care at that
age that the Jews had to wander
in the wilderness for 40 years, be-
cause it takes men that long to
learn and to understand free way
of life.
We could not have appreciated

the whole Haggaddah, which told
the story of the exodus, the name
of Moses was mentioned only once

because our forefatherS did not
want us to worship any man, no
matter how great, but to remem-
Der instead that it was God who
had saved our people.
ALL THESE CONCEPTS came
to us over the years because they
were part of this wonderful holiday,
because they were dramatized for
us in the preparations for and the
ritual of Passover.
They were unforgettable - be-
cause Passover, with all its rich
ness and joy (Yes, and even self
discipline, for We abstained from
certain foodS) was unforgettable.
Well, isn't all this possible today?
I find that our children are just as
responsive to pageantry, and just
as eager for the mystery of new
experiences, as we were a gener-
alton ago.
Passover seems to offer an eSpe-
cially good opportunity to create
in our homes an atmosphere in
which the lessons of Jewish history
will be well received. If we adults
give our hearts to the project, our
celebration can have color, warmth
and excitement. We can give our
children a real family Passover
to which all of us can look back
with love and with nostalgia.
MARCH is THE time for sum-
mer planning. Are you sending
your child to a Jewish camp this
year?
The National Jewish Welfare
Board has just issued the 1861 edi-
ton of its Directory of Resident
Summer Camps Under the Aus
piceS of Jewish Communal Organi-
cations. 1t lists camp names, loca-
tions, length of season, rates, re-
quirements for counSelors and
campers, types of program, etc.

BY A NARROW margin, the bill
seeking equal rights for all our
citizens in public accommodations
was defeated 2 weeks ago in the
Arizona House Of Representatives.
This was the first time that
this measure, sought or many
years, was brought out of commit
tee so that all members could cast
a vote on it.
That they did not pass it was in
excusable. But we have reason to
hope that the measure will fare
better in the future. The hope is
in us citizens of Arizona who love
our state and take pride in its
The Phoenix Jewish news., 1961-03-10

beauty.
We care deeply that there are
still evidences of discrimination
within our state. We care that hui
man dignity has been offended by
signs in public places refusing serv-
ice to some of our citizens be-
cause of their color or creed.
Our religious training and our
American history teach us that
these are undemocratic and moral
ly wrong.
But 1t is not enough to be con-
cerned about these overt acts of
discrimination or to be upset with
our legislators for not passing H.B.
46, the public accommodations bill.
We must share our concern with
the people who represent us, and
express our wish that they vote in
the next session for q law which
will end discrimination and help
bring equality to all citizens of Ari-
ZOna.

Who will be the leading
Washington hostesses during
the Kennedy administration?
What will be the impact Of
the new leaders Of the United
States Government on the So
cial scene in the Nations
Capital?
VIII Washington society
change, and how?
These are questions that
suddenly seem to fascinate
every national news maga-
zine. judging by recent queries
directed to this columnist.
They are also questions
with which Washington So
ciety is toying, fascinated as
it always is in its own doings.
Let us take up the ques-
tions in reverse order begin
ming with: Will society here
change and how?
IF YOU TAKE THE BROAD
VIEW, the answer is no. The
diplomatic corps will continue
to- do the most entertaining,
key political figures Of the
national and international
scene will continue to be the
lions Of the parties as they
have been for 100 years,
people who shape policy will
continue to make the news in
the social picture as they do
in the political picture, and
the established Washington
hostesses who like to enter
tain and have the money to
do so will continue to give
parties, and they will enter
tain both Democrats and Re-
publicans as always.
In short, no matter what
happens, it's the same old
setting, the same old plot,
and the same old supporting
cast. It's just the star roles
that are being changed.
Which brings us to the
second question: What kind
Of impact will these new
stars-the leaders of the
Kennedy administration -
have on the social scene?
The answer to this may
be derived from the fact that

pany, any government take'

question: Who will be the

The answer, Of course, is
not who gives the biggest
parties, or who gives the gay
est parties or who gives the
most publicized parties. The
answer is-who gives the
party where every guest has
the feeling that he is in the
most preferred group being
feted at that particular mo-
ment. or that he is simply IN.
