Chicago on School-
Release Plan
CHICAGO (JPS)—The failure
of Jewish organizations to take
a firm and unequivocal stand
against the "release-time" plan,
which is moving to swift accept-
ance in various parts of the coun-
try because of inadequate opposi-
tion, is now having repercussions
in Chicago, which is discussng
the plan of Superntendent of
Schools William H. Johnson for a
"release-time" program for reli-
gious education.
The Chicago Jewish Community
Committee, which has assumed re-
sponsibility for the fight, now
finds its efforts hindered by an
Orthodox rabbi who claims that
the "non-English speaking" Or-
thodox rabbis are the only ones
who oppose religious education on
school time.
S
Launches the
MIDSUMMER
ernment statistics show that beer
production in Palestine was
doubled last year. Compared with
the 1,385 thousand liters pro-
duced in the first 10 months of
1938 and 1,674 thousand liters
in the same period of 1939, the
output for January through Octo-
ber, 1940, amounted to 3,596 lit-
ers. Practically the whole quan-
tity was sold in Palestine and
only 10,000 liters were exported,
although in previous years the
exports had been nearly a third
of the total production. Last
year's imports dropped to G41,
000 liters, compared with 1,546
thousand liters in the same per-
iod of 1938.
Pegler Again Demands Only
Natives Be Citizens
N E W YORK.—(JPS) —Stung

citizenship, Westbrook Pegler,
widely-read Scripps-Howard col-
umnist, returned to the attack

column that only native Ameri-

Carlyle's contention that "the
history of the world is the his-
tory of great men" is applicable
to all peoples. It is especial-
ly true of Jewish history. Hav-
ing spent most of our time in ex-
iles, away from the homeland,
the genius of our great men
served as a great defense me-
chanism and as temporary sub-
stitute for land.
The most fascinating chapters
of our history are those dealing
with the creativeness of our lead-
ers, with the courage of the men
and women who arose to defend
Israel. A thrilling enumeration
of some of these leaders appears
in a charmng book, "Jews to Re-
member," by Sulam ith Ish-Kishor
who is already well knows as cre-
ator of children's literature. In
this book, which was illustrated
by Kyra Markham, and publish-
ed by the Hebrew Publishing Co.,
77 Delancey St., New York, there
are brief biographical sketches
of the following:
Moses, David the King, Jere-
miah, Judas the Maccabee, Bar
Kochba, Hillel, Jehuda Ha-Levi,
Moses Maimonides, Baruch Spi-
noza, Haym Salomon, Heinrich
Heine, Benjamin Disraeli, Felix
Mendelssohn, Sarah Bernhardt,
Albert Abraham Michelson, Louis
D. Brandeis, Sigmund Freud,
Theodor Herz], Sholom Aleichem,
Chaim Nahman Bialik, Ernest
Bloch, Albert Einstein, Jacob Ep-
stein.
It will be seen readily that a
large field is covered by these
biographical sketches. Taking in-
to consideration the fact that the
entire book has 127 pages and
that of these 23 are full-page il-
lustrations, the brevity of each
sketch becomes apparent. Such
shortness has particular value for
the younger reader who is en-
couraged to become acquainted
with many Jewish personalities
and perhaps to study them fur-
ther. Also, a brief sketch makes
it possible to have it read at
children's gatherings, at club
me'tings. at family meetings.
Miss Ish-Kishor adds to her
ability as creator of children's
literature with this fine book.
And the Jewish bookshelf is en-
riched wth another worth-whl-
book of brief sketches which will
make it possible to intorduce the
great in Israel to the children of
Israel.
