The Phoenix Jewish news., 1963-02-15

ed Jewish Appeal will be observed
at the Western Leadership Confer
ence in Palm Springs, Calf, by
the joint proclamation of the Gov
ernors of 13 Western States. This
will be a cherished document es-
pecially in the light of history when
we recall another governor and an
other time Governor Peter
Stuyvesant of New Amsterdam
(later to be called New York; in
the year 1854 made it quite plain
that Jews were not welcome in
New Amsterdam; that they be
urged to depart, and that further
Jewish immigration to the colony
be halted.
After pressure from the direct
ors of the Dutch West Indies
Company, it was decided
that the Jews might live, travel
and trade in New Netherlands
"prOvided the poor among them
shall not become a burden to the
company or to the community,
but be supported by their own
nation" And as an eminent jew
ish philanthropist remarked 1--WE
are still doing it wherever Jews
in the world are unwanted or
need help!"
1 am looking forward to the
U.J.W.F. Special Gifts Women's
Division Saks Fifth Ave. Fashion
Show and Luncheon Feb. 20 at the
Executive House at noon when
Jeanne Daman will be the guest
speaker. 1 still remember Jeanne
Daman when she visited Phoenix
a few years ago and on the Chet
Huntley television program as she
related her experience in the Bel
gian underground where she was
responsible for saving many Jew
ish lives. She is beautiful wom-
an, married to a college professor,
with a love for humanity and has
distinguished herself as a non-Jew
who endangered her own life in
order to rescue many about to be
killed.

Reporting on recent Phoenix
events-there is good news. The
Fairgrounds Rummage
Sale was the happy success of last
year and was due mainly to the
many men and women who worked
beyond description The art
at the Women'S division
UJWF event at the "Playboy
Club" brought extra dividends =.
DR.. Ralph Bunche, U.N. undersec-
retary who spoke before the Tenn
pie Beth Israel Forum was well
received as his gentle manner,
honest conviction and "on the
scene information" endeared him
to those present. There were at
least 100 persons who attended the
Jewish Committee Work
shop at the Jewish Center Feb. 3
where the discussion of important
Jewish issues resulted in a unani-
nous agreement for another ses-
sion soon.
Every book like every person is
unique and has a character of it's
own and this is apparent in Jewish
Cookbooks where the recipes
might be the same but the author
has a new approach to the subject.
I hope to review briefly as many
