Making Matzohs

and scour equipment All traces of
non-holiday foods baked during the
rest Of the year must be removed, and
the machinery can be used only for
Passover matzohs until production is
completed. The flour used is milled
from wheat that was sown, harvested,
and ground under the watchful eyes
of rabbis Even the water to be mixed
with the flour is checked for constant
temperature, and any left in the vats
is discarded at the end of each day,
lest it turn fiat.
After each batch of matzohs has
been baked, a process which takes
about 18 minutes, the vats and ovens
are scrubbed. In the whole process of
matzOh preparation, the slightest de-
Walton from prescribed procedure
can mean that whole days produc-
tion may have to be discarded.

~ URING the festival of Passover,
- which began at sundown Thurs
day in celebration of the Hebrew exc
dus from Egypt some 5000 years ago,
Jewish people forsake ordinary bread
and eat only dry, crackerlike wafer
called matzoh. Baked especially for
the holiday season, Passover matzohs
are prepared under strict Rabbinical
supervision to insure the proper puri-
ty of ingredients, equipment, and bak-
ing procedure. AS closely as possible,
considering modern production ma
chinery, NATIONS are baked the way
they were originally in the Sinai des-
ert, when the fleeing Israelites laid
out unleavened dough in the sun.
About ten weeks before the start
ofthe week-long Passover observance,
baking plants which make matzohs
stop production lines in order to scrub

The Mood I'm In
Welsh Rare Bit

One of those moods where l feel neither
funny myself nor the cause of laughter in
others, nor very wise either, has been en-.
veloping me for a long time. This mood,
plus the fact that my time has been eaten
up by the big.things' of living has pre-
vented me from writing about the little
things from which life is doomed
In my darker moods, sec every man
as a castle: each secure and impregnable;
an ambulatOry fortress bristing with arms
and fully capable OF warding off the assaults
made upon him by intruding sheriffs armed
with legal writs. or the SANDERS Of the day
and the tax mans levy. I have no trouble
seeing Winston Churchill as a frOwning
English fortress withstanding Nazi troops
among the hedgerows Of England; and 1 can
see Rubenstein and Pablo Casals encased
within more airy castles which are. nOnethe.
less, capable of protecting the souls within.
1t is normal for us to attempt to make
ourselves secure against abnormal wear and
tear and to this end we fortify ourselves
with esoteric insurance programs; and, in ad-
dition, to perpetuate the illusion of our inn
mortality, we cover ourselves with finer furs
and feathers as we drive longer and lower
sport cars.
But sooner or later we learn that there
is nothing that we can buy live in, clothe
ourselves with, ride upon, or insure ourselves
with that can Stay the dragons of the mind
whose fiery breath scorches the pastures
where the spirit dwells When we learn this

From This Angle
Public Schools and Religion
By Les Kimbe

The proposal of the Jewish Community
Council of Greater Washington to eliminate
all religious practices and observances from
our public schools has produced immediate
and sharp reaction Our nation is founded
on the belief that religion is a matter of
conscience and that childs religion is the
concern of the parents and not the state.
Those who want religious instruction in pub
lie schools for children who do not receive
it at home or in church are saying, in effect,
and we propose to see that their children get
1t. All Americans should object most empha.
tically to such thinking and argument
The practice Of Bible reading In public
schools varies. In states daily Bible reading
to all pupils is required, without exception.
In states Bible reading Is required, but not
all pupils must attend. In "a states Bible
reading is authorized but not required. In IL
states Bible reading Is prohibited as uncOn-
stitutiOnal. The Supreme Court of the y. s.
has ruled against sectarian religious teaching
In public schools. but no ruling on Bible read.
ing has been made.
Do Bible reading and prayer represent
sectarian religious practices? The answer
would seem to be yes for the Bible represents
the Christian viewpoint, and partially, the
Jewish viewpoint. Prayer is obviously reli.
gious practice not in use by all Americans
The u. S. Supreme Court has ruled that

Recognizing Merit

The School Board has acted wisely in deciding
mat the purpose of teacher merit pay increases is to
reward instructors for outstanding competence and
skill in the classroom not for the number of assoc;a

reaching like writing, is a constant self-improve-
ment process To teach effectively one must know his
subject thoroughly And this can be accomplished onlv
by constant reading, research and analysis There is
little room in this rigorous schedule for meetings.

Actually If school officials want to find out Just
now effective teacher is, they would get pretty
accurate verdict from his students The School Board
might well consider selecting student representatives
