Chanukah for Aged

For Abraham Heavenrich, con-
firmand of the class of 1885, and
Susan Klein, of the class of 1949,
illustrated the unbroken tradi-
tions of Judaism as well as the
unbroken traditions of Temple
Beth El.

With this rededication service,
Temple Beth El initiated a series
of celebrations in honor of its
100th anniversary.

CONFIRMANDS SPEAK
Following the Sabbath Eve
services, greetings were extend-
ed to the congregation by Nate
Shapiro, president of the Temple,
and the following confirmands:
Justice Henry M. Butzel, class
of 1884; Melville Welt, 1895; Jos-
eph Welt, 1899; Mrs. Irving
Hirschman, 1903; Lawrence Mi-
chelson, 1916; Mrs. Stanley
Thischaker, 1923; Arthur Coul-
son, 1923; Albert Colman, 1938;
and Mrs. Morris Brown, 1942.
Shapiro recalled his own con-
firmation and spoke of the value
Of a firm grounding in the tra-
ditions of Judaism which had
stood by him throughout his

RECALLS THE PAST
Henry Butzel, too, recalled
vividly his confirmation and con-
trasted his class of nine con-
firmands with the present day
religious school's 1,600 pupils.
His whole life, he said, was cen-
tered about the Temple. He re-
membered clearly the teachings
of Rabbi Henry Zirndorf, who
was spiritual leader from 1876-

1884.

Bunche and Garreau have un-
til Jan. 19 to work out a plan.
On that date, the Council is
scheduled to reconvene in Gen-
eva.
The Council also decided to
invite Israel and Jordan to state
their views on a statute for
Jerusalem.
MOVE FOR APPEASEMENT
This move is considered an
attempt to induce the two states
to modify their announced re-
fusal to permit UN rule in Jerit-
salem, except for the holy sites.
It is understood that the de-
cision to hand the delicate prob-
lem to Garreau and Bunche
was made on the initiative of
the United States, Britain and
France who were worried over
the Council's failure last week
to go ahead with its task.
Most delegates at the UN ex-
pect that Bunche and Garreau
will Make decisive changes in
the original plan to bring it in
conformity with the present sit-
uation.

Jewish Doctor Brings Hope
to Victims of Paralysis

If hundreds of once-helpless
eripples suffering from paraple-
gia (paralysis of the lower half
of the body) may now look for-
ward to leading useful lives
again, it is due to a new treat-
ment discovered by a German
refugee doctor, according to the
"London Jewish Chronicle."
Dr. Ludwig Guttmann, former
medical director of the Jewish
Hospital in Breslau and now
neurological surgeon-in-charge of
the Spinal Injuries Center in
Stoke Mandeville, took over his
position in February, 1944.
In a report issued by the Min-
istry of Pensions it was stated
that from February, 1944, to
March, 1949, the number of
deaths was less than eight per

cent. The proportion of deaths
among pensioners suffering from
paraplegia follow the 1914 war
was 80 per cent, according to the
report.
In an interview with the "Lon-
don Jewish Chronicle," Dr. Gutt-
mann said he intended to spend
a few weeks in Israel to intro-
duce his methods in military hos-
pitals there.
He recently visited Greece to
advise on the treatment of para-
plegia there.
It was Dr. Guttmann's work
which in 1945 led the Minister
of Pensions, Sir Walter Womers-
ley, to remark: "Thank you, Hit-
ler, for sending us men like
these."

control vested in international
organs will be diluted so that
Israel and Jordan would retain
a large measure of sovereignty
in their respective sectors.
Meanwhile, Brig. Gen. William
E. Riley, chief of staff of the
UN Palestine Commission, said
in Jerusalem he was convinced
that all outstanding disputes be-
tween Arabs and Jews can be
settled peacefully "if both sides
want peace."

`DP' Students

ATLANTA—(WNS)—For the
past year and a half 362 Christian
children have been studying and
playing in the Classrooms of the
Ahavath Achim Congregation.
The youngsters, pupils of the
E. Rivers School, which was
burned down on Sept. 17, 1948,
will celebrate their Christmas in
the Jewish school and syna-
gogue.
Commenting on the behavior
of the children, Rabbi Jacob M.
Rothschild declared they "were
perfect, we hardly knew they
were in the building they be-
haved so well."
Meanwhile, Paul D. West,
county superintendent of schools,
said, "Thanks in large part to
the Jews of Atlanta, we are end-
ing perhaps the greatest emer-
gency the system has ever had."
