which one he's supposed to
use?" she asks Cantor.

• "What's the difference?" he
answers. "No matter what

;Russel Crouse, co-author of
Life with Mother. decided . to
catch the Wednesday matinee
of a two-day-Old play that had
teen accorded murderous notices 'ay the critics. Anxious to avoid
giving the impi-ession that he was coming to gloat over the corpse,
Crouse sidled unobtrusively to the box-office and said, "I'd like a seat
in the last row of the orchestra." The treasurer looked surprised, but
handed him a ticket. "This is in Row p," protested Crouse. "I asked
for the last row." "Mister," said the treasurer, "at thiS performance

Editor, The Jewish News:
We recently read a comment
of the rabbis that " the light
which Sarah, the first mother in
Israel kindled, reflected its bril-
liance from Sabbath to Sab-
bath."
The Sabbath candles which
the Jewish mother kindled in
her home on Friday evening
transformed' that house into a
sanctuary and its influence was
felt and transformed all within
that home. When one contrasts
the spiritual barenness which

Mr. Churchill said that the
Israeli embassy in London was
mortified to discover that all
the other embassies made a
point of offering a cup of tea
in the afternoon to the bobbies
assigned to posts in front of
their buildings. The Israeli staff,
hastened to make amends to
their hobby, explaining, "For-
give us if we don't know all the fine points as yet. We haven't had
an embassy for two thousand years!"

New York sport fans were all
a-twitter the other day due to
an exclusive story' Jimmy Pow-
ers, Daily News sports 'editor,.
broke in his widely read column.
Powers insisted that - Hank
Greenberg, had purchased the
Cleveland Indians. The • story
goes - that the announcement will
be made after the current sea-
son comes to a close. Denials
were quick in coming from Bill
Veeck, Indian prexy, but the
opinion grows in Ohio that Veeck
is through and that Greenberg
will take over.
Some claim that Hank bought
into the Indians- with the under-
standing he would take over
completely once he learned the
various aspects involved in run-
ning a major league club. He
busied himself with farm club
duties, scouting, inside office
Work, etc., in his usual conscien-
tious way until he has become
very proficient and is able to
take over the reins. The as-
sumption holds that his long-
time friend Dave Marx, large
toy manufacturer, is backing him
in the venture. Hank's father-
in-law, Mr. Gimbel, is supposed-
ly not connected financially with
the set-up. -
Another rumor current along
Broadway has Hank and Veeck
buying out the N. Y. Giants.
This is unlikely since Horace
Stoneham owns 51 percent of
the Giant stock and is not in-
terested inselling same Rest as-
sured the Powrs' story has a
firm foundation and you will be
reading shortly that Greenberg
is the . new president . of the
Cleveland Indians.

Purchase of Indians
is Given Credence

engulfs such a vast number of
Jewish homes in America, - when
one realizes how many Jewish
children are being deprived of
their heritage of the spirit, we
feel that we have truly given
ourselves over to gross material-
ism, have sold out for a mess of
pottage, and are reaping only
neuroses and frustration.
As. this - Rosh Hashanah, of
5710 approaches, beginning on
the Sabbath, the Women's 'Sab-
bath League is issuing this call
to all Jewish women to resolve
to recapture the sanctity - of the
Sabbath.
Under no circumstances
should any woman go shopping
on the Sabbath. Let us resolve
with the Rosh Hashanah Sab-
bath_ that we will do no shop-
ping nor the menial tasks of -the
week on the Shabbos.
