W IC Told to Consult 'UN on Spanish Jews' Membership Request (JTA)—The Israel branch of the World Jewish Con- gress recommended to the par- ent body that it obtain the prior consent of the United Nations before acting on a request from the Jews of Spain that they be permitted to join the World l'EL AVIV, Jewish congress. The recommendation is based On the fact that Spain is under a UN boycott and the local branch of the WJC fears that acceptance of the Spanish body without the UN's consent might j eause -the international organ- liation to withdraw the consul- tative status it has granted the congress. Humor Is Called 'Most Natural Endowment,' A Tonic for Humanity, in Dr. Gordan's Book "A sense of humor is not mere- ly an ornamental trimming. It is an integral part of the very fabric of life. It is not the sugar frosting on the cake of life.' Rather is it the grain and the flour of our daily bread. In short, humor is philosophy. The two; pointed out by Will Durant, are intrinsically related. One is the essence of the other." This is the definition of humor given by Rabbi Julius Gordon of St. Louis in his book, "Your Sense of Humor: A Guide to a •Happy Life," published by Didier, New York. The St. Louis rabbi writes on the general theme. It is a universal rather than strictly a Jewish book. All gamuts of life are covered in the subject as it is approached by Dr. Gor- don. All the experiences of a man in the publit have been- gathered to provide material for this work, and the human relations touched upon should prove of value to people with problems. Thus, the book discusses self- satire as a means of avoiding cynicism. It deals with love and laughter and the lack of humor in modern marriage. It touches upon friendship and the fun in human relations. and it does not avoid reference to good will and humor, pointing out that to rec- ognize man as our brother "is tolerance plus humor, and it is such tolerance that creates men of good will and good will to men." Holiday humor, health and fun, food and humor and a score of other aproaches are included in Rabbi Gordon's discussion. In the concluding chapter, "Can We Cultivate a Sense of Humor," he makes some practical sugges- tions. He writes "that everyone can contribute to the recupera- tion of a sick humanity by sharing his gift of humor with others" and calls "humor our most natural endowment!" The European Mizrachi Confer- ence concluded with the adop- ton of a resolution calling on the membership of the entire Mizrachi movement to devote it- self to solidifying the founda- tions of the Jewish state which, the resolution said, "needs the mass immigration of all tradi- tionally-minded Jews." In a series of other resolu- tions, the parley" deplored the Israel Government's negative attitude on matters dealing with religious principles, particularly the matter of Sabbath observ- ance and the importation of non-Kosher meat. The dele- gates also expressed regret that Israel's economic policy is "alienating" private capital and enterprise.

Happy New Year Spiritual Aid to U.S. Sole Hope for NA Jews To The Communities of Detroit and Michigan • American Orthodox Jewry was asked to assume responsibility for sending qualified and ener- getic American rabbis to pro- vide aid and guidancef for the spiritually s t a r v e d Jews of North Africa. - The plea was made by Rabbi Solomon Sha- piro, recently returned to the United States after a year's ser- vice abroad as European di-, rector of the Jewish Central Orthodox Committee . In a comprehensive report to the Committee, Rabbi Shapiro described North African Jews as "a people weighed down by despair and poverty, and wholly unable at the present moment to improve their own lot with- out outside aid." Responsibility f o r providing spiritual assistance rests upon the shoulders. of American Jews, the Rabbi declared, because Or- thodox Jewry in Europe is in- capable of supplying the ur gently needed religious leaders and teachers.
