FreeIoaders-And Temples

Each year at this time number of complaints reach
desk from readers who tell of action by Temples
refusing accommodate Jewish families at the Holy Day
services unless they take membership in the Temples
The fact is that all Temples accommodate hardship
cases.
But the facts also clear that great many families
want the other guy do ito carry the ball of keeping
our houses of worship alive.
Who does pay for Temples upkeep? Certainly not
the holiday 'tcketbuyer 1t is degrading to institution
of Jewish education It far more degrading than
the unrung of feathers of those who want to get in their
prayers wholesale.
Our plea is that families identify directly with es-
tabished Temples and Synagogues of their choice Mem
berships available in all institutions 1t is not wrong to
ask members pay fair share of communal services
Jewish practice is not at all parallel to that In re-
gous institutions of other faiths Most Temples and Syna
gogues are open the Sabbath without single appeal
for funds without the passing of collection patesfor
money simply that important in Jewish religious
practice experience.
Traditonally, however, memberships are taken by
families at the Holy Day Those who find them
selves offended by being asked to aid in their most i'm
portant institutions in the minority ndeed, COM
plant from reader who also refuses to subscribe to
free.)
We not inclined to be troubled by those who re-
fuse to accept community responsibilities
We are concerned that those who work for JeW!sn
continuity be given every possible assistance They should
mt have to carry the ball for the freeloaders.

SO Per Cent Americans2

Compliments should be extended to all concerned for
the peaceful restrained manner in which the massive Neg
freedom march carried out in the nations capital
August %. Whenever nearly 100000 people get to-
gethe almost anything happen and this is douby
when grievances being aired
e. While some have decried the event unwarrant-
ed act of coercion the part of Negroes it is well to
member that the right to peaceaby assemble behalf of
has been foundation of this country since ITS.
1t is also well to remember that thousands of Caucas-
ans from all parts of the u S. Joined with the Negroes
They joined because they believe do the Negroes,
that discrimination in many forms pracced against the
Negroes that too little progress too slowly being made
in eliminating the discrimination 1t fitting indeed that
the ceremony proper held in the shadow of the Lincoln
Memorial for it Lincoln who risked the very nation
itself to free the slaves
There are those who believe, as do we that there
cannot be any so per cent IS per cent Americans
person is American citizen, he is entitled to 100 per
basic blessings and he should be limited only by
his lack of ability or intelligence.
Whether person happens to be born black or white
should not be factor which dominates his life forever
The time equality is at hand Thinking Americans
will support this fundamental concept.

MOST MUTUAL funds have in
stallment type programs for the
small investor. Investors can put
in from $40 up a month. The big
decision is the one to invest in in
the first place, he said.
The astonishing growth of mu-
tual fund investments is not COM
pletely known or understood by
the public, Coate said.
Practically every mutual fund
has made a good record for in
vestors. 1t has been hand for
them to make a poor choice" he
said.
QUESTION: What is a system
attic plan?
ANSWER: For the man whose
earning capacity is sufficient to
provide margin beyond the ne
cessities of living, there are two
main obstacles to achieving any
measure of economic security: The
self-discipline required to establish
the habit of saving and the diff
Guilty of finding suitable medium
for the investment of small sums
at regular intervals.
A MUTUAL FUND was created
to provide a medium through
which investors may buy high
grade common stocks out of in
come. AS most of us receive our
money monthly, our investents
should be the same way.
A Mutual Fund offers simple
practical and convenient plan,
whereby you can obtain an owner
ship and share in the earnings of
the leading corporations in Amer
lea through the medium of trust
fund, the assets of which are held
in the custody of custodian bank.
The Systematic Payment Plan is
a plan for continuous investment
in the beneficial interests of a Mu-
tual Fund and provides a medium
for the application of the principle
of dollar cost averaging. Since
such a procedure involves continu-
Gus investment regardless of price
levels, an investor must take into
account his financial ability to con-
tinue the plan through periods of
low price levels. If the plan is
discontinued when the market
value of the accumulated benefi-
cial interests is less than cost 6
! loss will be incurred.

ing Oh human experience TO an eX-
tent that reality and fantasy have
become interchangeable terms in
their writing.
"The Floor is Bright With Toys"
by Tim Kelly, currently playing at
the Arizona Repertory Theater, is
an example of this style of drama.
Done in two scenes, (actually these
are two separate plays) the produc-
ton affords the serious theater go
erS in our area an excellent oppor-
tunity to see two different ap-
proaches to "avant garde" theater.
The first scene, called "All that
jazz" is a rather tricky script. It
demands that the actors project an
aura of total fantasy, but once,
having convinced the audience that
this is all great joke, they must
change gears and shift into Shatter-
ing reality, then once again re-
verse into fantasy. In other words,
this is the eXiStentialiStS terrifying
observation, Life is a joke, but
the jokes on u.s." Joan SilberSchlag
as the Mother, and George Winship
as her son, Junior, were effective,
but they lack the quality of sincere
absurdity which is imperative for
the contrast of the realistic mo-
ments in the play.
"The Trunk" the second scene
of the evening, is far more exist
tential than the first piece. I
doubt that a more controversial
play has been done in Phoenix,
and it is interesting to note that
the drama reviewers for the Re
public, Gazette, and. the journal
all came away from this play
with three different interpreta-
tiOns of its meaning, and three
distinctly different reactions to
the ART production.
The acting in "The Trunk is of
an excellent quality. Royce Weyers
and Joe Jenckes v give highly SEN
sitive and perceptively disciplined
performances. The almost robot
like mood the actors capture height
ems the tone of horror and futility
this play projects.

Coate said the man and wife,

able to afford some degree of risk
might turn to an Income Fund,

a Balanced Fund.
For the widowed sister-in-law,
without a vocation, Coate said a
Balanced Fund is the answer. In

risk.
For the bachelor son, with high
