ALPER, SHAAREY ZEDEK "SHAMES,"
STARTS ELEVENTH YEAR OF SERVICE!

Shaarey Zedek Beadle to Observe Anniversary in October;
Has Had Long and Interesting Career as
Merchant and Communal Leader

A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU!

and Steak Dinners

By SAUL SHIEFMAN

This October, Hirsch Alper will
observe his tenth anniversary as
"shames" or beadle of Congrega-
tion Shaarey Zedek.
Mr. Alper has been accorded a
prestige greater than that of the
ordinary "shames" and has in his

retail tobacco business on Broad-
way. This undertaking prospered
and grew and for 13 years was Mr.
Alper's livelihood. In 1913, Mrs.
Alper died, leaving her husband
with eight children, ranging in
ages from 3S5 to lit years. Ile re-
tired from business to devote him-
self to the raising of his family.
The funds which had ben accumu-
lated in his business were exhaus-
ted after a time and Mr. Alper
then became the communal kosher
butcher of New York's famous
orthodox congregation, the Kehil-
lath Jeshurun.
At America's entrance into the
world war, a son of Mr. Alper had
I established a canteen and army

at Newport News, Virginia. He
, was soon drafted into service and
it became necessary for his father
to take over the conduct of the
business. Here Mr. Alper achieved
the distinction of being the only
Jew in the United States permit-
ted to go in the lines to deal
with the soldiers.
It was in 1919. A Spanish in-
fluenza epidemic was ravaging the
country, making no exception
of Newport News, Virginia. Here
a double calamity befell Mr. Al-
per. Not only did his children suc-
cumb to the flu (they all pulled
through) but no severely did the
disease attack the soldiers there
that the entire camp was quaran-
tined, thereby almost ruining the
Alper canteen. Mr. Alper had be-
come an universal favorite with
the officers and men because of
the manner in which he conducted
his business, and had moreover
three sons in the service. Be-
cause of these considerations, the
commanding officer of the camp
Issued to him a passport permit-
ting him to go within the camp
to deal with the soldiers, the only
Jew in the entire United States
thus honored.
In the following year Mr. Alper
became a partner with his son and
several other men in an amuse-
ment enterprise in Detroit, and
made his home here for the first
time. One of the partners in the
business ran oft' with all of the
firm's money to Mexico, leaving
the others stranded. At this time ,
Abraham Joseph Rubiner, father
of Judge Charles Rubiner, retired
as beadle of Congregation Beth
Jehudah to go into business. The
cantor of Beth Jehudah, the Rev.
A. L. Ruttman, had been the can-
tor of the Kehillath Jeshurun Sy-
nagogue when Mr. Alper had been
its butcher and he secured his
election to fill the post vacated by
Mr. Rubiner. Mr. Alper served in
this position until 1924, when
Mr. Smith, "shames" of the Shea-
rey Zedek, became blind and he
was elected as his successor. In
1931 the congregation discon-
tinued the hiring of a rabbi to in-
struct its worshippers in the Tal-
mud. Mr. Alper, a man of scholar-
ly attainments, undertook himself
to fulfill this time-honored obliga-
tion and has done so for the past
three years with astonishing suc-
cess.
Lean and erect, with white hair
and trim white beard, all his life
a Shomer Shabos, Mr. Alper re-
fleets in his person the dignity
that is his because of a long and
eventful life of piety and merit.

long term of service become the
confidant and highly respected
friend of an important section of
Detroit Jewry. Besides the ordi-
nary duties of the office, Mr. Alper
has assumed many more. For the
past few years he has been his
congregation's instructor in Tal-
mud and Gemorah during the in-
tervals between prayers. A man
who so unostentatiously fills so
important a position In the Jewish
community deserves to be better
known to the members of that
community.
Born in Grodno Gubernie, in
Russia, in 1865, Mr. Alper will
shortly be observing his 70 birth-
day. He came to this country in
1891, settling in Boston, where he
peddled. In 1896, he brought his
family to America and upon fail-
ure to become acclimated he
returned with them to Europe
in the following year. He re-
mained in the old country only a
few months, however, and the year
1898 saw him established in Cape
Town, Union of South Africa, as
a general merchant. In 1900, the
year of the Boer War in South
Africa, Mr. Alper returned to this
country, settling once more in
Boston.
Here, Mr. Alper formed with a
brother a partnership for the man-
ufacture of silk waists, an enter-
prise that did not succeed. After
this episode, he moved to New
York, setting up a wholesale and

"Rowena, Teena, Tot and the
Blackberries," by Fannie Burg-
helm Bluinberg, with illustrations
by Mary Grosjean, was just pub-
. lished by the Albert Whitman &
Co., 560 W. Lake St., Chicago,
, Ill. ($1).
Here is a story of such unusual
merit that it earns commendation,
and is highly recommended for
young readers of 6 to 8.
Mrs. Blumberg was inspired to
write this story by a colored fam-
ily. The daughter is the Rowena
of this story, and Old Rosie (the
horse) and the surrey are also
based on actual experiences with
the quaint inspirers of our author.
The blackberry-picking incident
of the story—with the tragic spil-
ling of the berries when the
youngsters go off with Old Rosie
—is another actual fact experi-
enced by this family and recorded
for the young readers in this fine
book.
Making her home near Terre
Haute, Ind., Mrs. Blumberg is the
mother of four children. She has
been a devoted student of child-
ren's books and has gathered a
model home library for her little
ones. She has had a number of
stories published In magazines and
her best known bookie "The First
Circus."
Mary Grosjean (Adams), the
artist, lives in Rochester, N. Y.
After graduating from college,
she spent five years teaching art.
Later she extended her art studies
in Europe; and returned to the
Art Institute In Chicago where
she remained for four years as ea
Instructor in children's classes and
as a student of painting and etch-
ing. Mrs. Adams says, "Colored
children always have appealed to
me. I love their dreamy qualities,
their rhythm, and their melody.
Creating pictures for this story
has been a genuinely happy ex-
perience."

Neptune's coat of arms must
be the crest of a wave.
If you would keep your friends
don't put them to a severe test.
Many an alleged blessing in dis-
guise would be a blessing but for
the disguise.

"My Battle"

MOSCOW, (JTA)—The class of
people now flocking to Biro-Bidjan
and the mode of travel is deplored
here by the Jewish press.
It is the belief of the press that
criminal elements and persons who
have reason to avoid the authrities
are taking advantage of the move-
ment to recruit migrants for the
Jewish autonomous region in Si-
beria.
Among the people in the last
contingent to arrive in Biro-Sidjan
were several with long criminal
records. One man who gave his
name as Mazur was reported to
have forged his papers and to have
given a false name. This "Jewish

MOSCO W. (JTA) — Great
preparations for the coming High
Holy Day are reported by the
Soviet press in the Ukrainian
towns of Kamenetz-Podolsky, Bar
and Nemirov.
Synagogues in these and other
towns are being repaired by lo-
cal Jews, it is reported.
The Communist newspaper,
Emess, demands immediate anti-
religious action to hamper these
preparations.

The circulation of the Soviet
Jewish Press is growing, the num-
ber of Yiddish books printed is in-
creasing, but the Jewish township
and the Jewish cultural workers
evince no great desire to spread
Jewish books, declaring that the
Jewish youth does not wish to
learn Yiddish.
"It is better to learn an Euro-
pean language," decares a school
teacher in the Jewish township of
Kublichi, Ukraine. "Though I be-
long to the Jewish race I never-
theless regard myself as an inter-
nationalist, and I have practically

HALIFAX, N. S. (JTA) — Mo
Kolernian, a Polish Jew, is on his
way back to his native land after
a thwarted attempt to enter Ca-
nada as a stowaway. The whistling
of a popular tune proved to be
Kolerman't undoing.
Kolerman had arranged with
two members of the crew of a
steamer to stowaway on the ship
at Gdynia. The arrangement called
for one of them' to whistle a po-
pular tune as soon as the ship
reached Halifax. He boarded the
ship safety.
Unfortunately, the tune appa-
rently was too popular, for a stew-
ard happened to intone it while
the ship was still on the high seas.
When Kolerman heard the pre-
arranged signal, he happily left
his hiding-place and walked into
the arms of an officer.
After a brief stop at the local
harbor the ship left on its return
trip to Gdynia, where the Polish
police will deal with the hapless
stowaway.

Rumania Decrees Beards Must C.

ZUCHAREST. (JTA) — The
Rumanian government has de-
dared war on the custom of wear,

Uniformed government couriers
departed on a tour on horseback
of Rumanian villages to announce
the new regulations banning the
wearing of the hirsute appendage
without a permit.
The couriers, by bugle calls and
drum-beatings, • assembled rani
dents of the villages in the public
squares to announce the new rul-
ing to them. It reads in part:
"Beards are prohibited. Those
who want to keep them must pos-
sess a special permit. In one
week those persons wearing beards
without having obtained a permit
to do so will be forcibly shaved
and fined."
The regulation has created con-
