He was scrupulous about hi:; charitable contri b ut ions. These were sacred obligations, to be paid at once. Failure to pay reflected on the individual and affected his chances of reaching Heaven.

Persons with Jewish sounding names have trouble getting along with prejudiced people. Chang- ing their names would at least reduce clashes even though it will not rid the bigot of his prejudice. It's not nec- essary to change the name in all cases, however. If you are a well- known person in society or in business, then for better rela- tions with the non-Jews you should change it.

Shelly plays the drums I personally don't think that we should change our names to suit other people who are unin- telligent bigots. But often for better business relations that is the only alter- native. My wife wants me to change my name, too, so that I won't encounter those conflicts in my business. Actually, Jews don't want to change their names to camouflage their Jewishness. But in the face of the obstacles they are con- fronted with because their names suggest foreigness, they change them to have peace of mind. MRS. ROSALIE ANSTANDIG, 2903 Elmhurst, housewife.
