I--The Suburban Community
When Moving to the Suburbs
Becomes a Painful Experience

Moving
to the suburbs has
€.4
PA been a refreshing experience
I: for most of us. In fact, we have
ral met people we • haven't seen
for y .e a r s on neighboring
streets.
Up to last Sunday, we
thought, it was a wonderful ex-
perience — this meeting of old
friends. But now we know how
g devastating it can be, as well.
The entire incident started
•1;-4 harmlessly enough, just a warm
welcome to a couple of old,
old friends—school chums we
used to play baseball with
• years ago.
The first thing we knew we
were -being talked into a ball-

to Install Officers
game at the awful hour of 9
a. m.
So, come Sunday morning
we hied ourselves over to the
ball field, laying our hands
on a • baseball for the first
time in a good many years.
The game of baseball was
sure different nowadays, we
soon determined. The ball was
heavier, the bat was heavier,
the bases, were farther apart
and the pitchers were the best
we had ever seen.
For about three hours we
tried -our best to regain our
youthful form. It just wouldn't
come back, although in - the
ninth inning; with bases load-
ed, we did manage to hit a
ball back as far as the short-
stop to end the game.
The ignominy of scorn heap-
ed upon one by fellow-players
is nothing compared to one's
own thoughts, which invariably
go: "Gee, I must be getting
older."
But if one thinks he's old on
Sunday morning, during a ball-
game, come Monday morning
and he knows it.
From the big toe to the little
finger we were one solid ach-
ing mass, too stiff almost to
tie a shoelace.
Still, we might have gone
back for more except that
on that very day we chanced
to meet one of our ball-play-
er friends. He saw our stiff
gait and noticed the decided
limp, and then said to us,'
"What you need is a little
game to work the stiffness
out."
We have been mulling over
that remark for the past few
days, in between applications
of linament, and we can only
conclude that this is not the
answer. So . .

Beth Shalom Sisterhood
Inducts New Officers
WIESBADEN, Germany,
(JTA)—The 100,000th applica-
. tion for indemnification to Naei
victims in the State of Hesse
was submitted to the state's
indemnification office.
Officials of the State of Hesse
claim that more than 12 per
cent of all indemnification ap:.
plications throughout West
Germany were approved in
Hesse. Less than 16,000 claims
have yet to be disposed of,
either positively or negatively.
The state office is now han-
dling an average of 1,300 cases
a month, it was stated.
During the eleven postwar
years, $40,000,000 was dis-
bursed to Nazi victims in in-
demnification payments.
The
amount was $12,500,000 in the
period prior to the 1953 enact-
ment of the Federal Indemnifi-
cation Law, $6,800,000 in 1954,
and $19,000,000 in the fiscal
year that ended last March.
It is expected that claims
totaling $25,000,000 will be
satisfied in the course of the
current budget . year, but the
larger part will fall upon the
Federal Treasury in 'Bonn.
