Rabbi Franklin Is Recovering Readers of The Jewish News will be pleased to learn that Dr. Leo M. Franklin, rabbi emeritus of Temple Beth El, is recovering from his illness.

Discovery of Crucifixion Witness' Story in Tomb Is Declared False NEW YORK (JPS)—The Brit- iih Information Service, in a bulletin issued here, describes as false, reports that a tomb re- cently uncovered near Jerus- alem- contains. a ,contemporarY eye • witness account of Christ's crucifixion. - The tomb was discovered by Prof. E. L. Sukenik, director of the Museum of Jewish Antiqui- ties,- of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, and according to Robert Hamilton, director of the Palestine Government Depart- ment of Antiquities. The British bulletin features the report of Jack Lawton, Cairo correspondent for the British Broadcasting Co., who was reportedly -taken on a tour of the tomb by Dr. Sukenik. "The tomb seems to be a -normal Jewish family tomb of the type usually - found in and around Jerusalerri and generally attributed to tlie' first century B. C. or A. D.," Lawton reports. "Nothing in the tomb is un- usual except thk one of the ossuaries bore on each of its four side§ a cross drawn in charcoal. Furthermore, on one side there was scratched the name 'Jesus,' in Greek letters, followed by a word which, in. ancient Greek, is used as an, exclamation of sorrow. This be- ing the case, we have the earli- est Christian tomb which has come to light in modern times," Lawton says/ Little Women of Radassah's Pop Corn Roast on Sunday Little Women of Hadassah will have a pop corn roast on Sun- day, at 2 p. m. at Palmer Park.

The‘ surface burners have several heat units from "sim- mer" to "high" that provide just the right heat for whatever dish is being cooked. The heat comes di- rectly to the bottom of the utensil and as clean as sunlight. In the oven, a control regulates the heat to an exact temperature and main- tains it. An electric timer can be provided to turn off the current at a pre-set time, thus letting the housewife forget all about the oven. The broiter grills meats to a perfect turn, and the deep well cooker is ideal for long, slow cook- ing, such as soups, cereals or stews. "It's a pleasure for a dealer to furnish a house with an all-electric kitchen—for it makes the house into a home. The electric kitchen cuts down the housewife's time in the kitchen . . . and .gives a thrill to the work she does there. The electric range gives uniform results . . . provides auto- matic operation, cutting down the amount of attention necessary. Electric cookery is the modern way . . . convenient . . . clean . . . reliable. People have come to feel about it the way they do about electric refrigeration — that it is the only way. The electric dishwasher, too, has proved itself in thousands of homes as a time and labor saver. I've sold many and never had one returned. They normally save the housewife a total of about a day's work every m9nth. . . . People are not so familiar with the operation of the garbage disposal unit in the sink drain. The convenience of throw- ing waste right into the sink and washing it away cannot be appreciated until used. And the modern housewife also gets the multiple assistance of all the smaller elec- tric helpers — mixer, juicer, percolator, toaster and others.. I can't think of any in- vestment that goes farther toward making a house a real home than an electric kitchen." Electric: - kitchen equipment is not generally available for sale now.
