They dis- patched none other than Methus- elah. He had lived on the earth a thousand years, so he ought to know how to get around, they re- solved. Finally, Methuselah came back. "Jimmy, he exclaimed, I got away just in time. If I had stayed an- other day, they would have called up my age group." Wedding Gowns FOR RENT NEW YORK, (JTA)—Declar- ing that "the present flare-up of interest in Jewish life is bound to die down when Israel is no longer front-page news," Dr. Mordecai M. Kaplan, founder of the Re- constructionist movement, pro- posed the formation of an over-all Jewish community in the United States, based on regional and zonal communities uniting the functions of religion, Jewish edu- cation and recreation on the local level "as the first step toward an organic Jewish community." Addressing the conference of the Jewish Reconstructionist Foundation, Dr. Kaplan pointed out that an urgent need exists in this country for an "organic Jew- ish community" based on religi- ous culture as the link between the state of Israel and the Jews of America and, also, to afford the best means of self-expression for American Jews. • 6- itroit's Best Laundry .
