Armed Forces who were flown
by military airlifts from the
remotest parts of Korea will
assemble in Seoul for Rosh

posts in Alaska to Anchorage
and Fairbanks. A 10,000 mile
pre-High Holy Day flight by _a

Parleys to Map
European Jewish
Education Plans
ZURICH (JTA) — Far-reach-
ing improvements in Jewish
educational practices, embracing
most modern teaching methods
such as the Dalton Plan and the
use of up-to-date visual aids,
were advocated at a conference
of Hebrew teachers and leading
Jewish educators from the
United States, Israel and 10
European countries. The con-
ference was held near here, at
Wengen, and was preliminary to
a broader conference to be held
in Paris in October.
The W e n g en meeting was
convened by Stanley Abraham-
ovitch, director . of education for
the American Joint Distribution
C o m m i t t e e, and Dr. Azriel
Eisenberg, director of the Jew-
i h Education Committee of
New York.
Among the newer methods
suggested for introduction into
Jewish educational systems are
the use of film strips and films,
as well as the use of newer,
more attractive textbooks. Par-
ticipants in the conference also
discussed the shortage of Jewish
teachers and the need for in-
ducing more young men and
women to enter the field of
Jewish education as teachers.
Call Second Conference
For Paris In October
PARIS (JTA)—Jewish lead-
ership throughout Europe is be-
coming increasingly • aware of
"the need for Jewish spiritual
and cultural survival," now that
the problem of Jewish "physi-
cal survival is being solved,"
Charles Jordan,.director-general
of the Joint Distribution Com-
mittee, declared here. He made
his statement in conjunction
with a call issued to Jewish
educators in 12 European coun-
tries to attend a Jewish educa-
tional conference here, Oct.
8-10.
The JDC, Mr. Jordan said,
has spent $16,500,000 since the
end of World War II toward
meeting the physical needs of
the Jews in Western Europe.
However, he continued, Jewish
leadership is "deeply concerned"
now with the problems of .spir-
itual and cultural survival. For
that reason, Mr. Jordan stated,
the coming conference was
called to provide the opportun-
ity for discussion, guidance and
planning.

shawls, skullcaps, etc.) were
shipped by JWB months in ad-
vance of the Holy Days for serv-
ices in those areas and for Rosh
Hashanah rites in Hawaii, Ja-
pan, Okinawa, the Philippines,
Germany, France, Italy, North
Africa, Alaska, the Caribbean
and the U. S. More than 350
full and part-time Jewish chap-
lains, recruited and endorsed by
JWB's Commission on Jewish
Chaplaincy, will be involved in
"Operation New Year." JWB is
t h e government - authorized
agency for serving the religious
and morale needs of Jewish
military personnel. It is also a
member agency of USO.
The solemn notes of the sho-
far will be heard aboard all
ships of the U. S. Mediterranean
Fleet, where arrangements have
been made by the lone Jewish
chaplain attached to the Sixth
Fleet. The traditional greeting,
"May you be inscribed for a
good year," will also be heard at
the JWB Servicemen's clubs in
Paris, Tokyo, Balboa, C. Z., Kai-
serslautern, Germany, and Fair-,
banks, Alaska.
The New Year 5717 will be
observed on Army and Navy
vessels on the high seas (all
stocked with religious supplies
by JWB before sailing), includ-
ing the USS Canberra — first
guided missile cruiser of the
Navy—whose chaplain called on
JWB to dispatch religiCus sup-
plies before the vessel departed
on her shakedown cruise. When
the vessel docks in Charleston,
S. C., on Yom Kippur, the Jew-
ish members of the crew will
be served by the local JWB
Armed Services Committee at a
break-the-fast dinner arranged
in their honor. Rosh Hashanah
will also be marked by men on
guard at lonely radar and air-
weather stations in the Arctic
and at anti-aircraft and NIKE
installations.
In the U. S., the 265 local
JWB Armed Services Commit
tees and 20 USO-JWB workers
in all parts of the country have
been engaged for months in
Holy Day arrangements, which
include on-post and community
services, extensive home hospi-
talityz parties, dances and lunch-
eons, and break-the-fast din-
ners at the close of Yom Kip-
pur. The New Year will be
ushered in at virtually all of
the 170 veterans hospitals where
JWB serves.
