Washington's New Tourist Attraction

The Suburban Community

By the Oak-Woodser
With the tooting of horns, the
clanging of noisemakers and
with practiced gaiety — some
real and much forced — we bid
farewell to 1956 and welcome
in the New Year. 1957.
New Year's Eve has always
been something special to Am-
ericans. We look upon it as a
magic night—one that blots out
the troubles of yesterday 'and
brings the hope of a brighter
tomorrow.
Yet the following morning,
or perhaps a day or two later,
comes the sobering thought that
we can't turn our minds away
from our past problems, nor our
hearts from the problems of our
friends and fellows.
So it is, that as we look at
our newspapers, today or to-
morrow or next week we read
of the unrest which grips mil-
lions of people. Headlines cry
out that West and East are
nearing the brink of war. We
point to the United Nations as
the hope of the world, but we
see that much more remains to
be accomplished before it can
effect peace.
All of the threats to world
peace—in Warsaw and Buda-
pest, in Egypt and Israel, in
China and Formosa—must be
erased. And, in our own country
—in the Clintons, the Mont-
gomerys and the other places
where the seeds of disaster are
being sown—we must learn to
respect the dignity of fellow
beings.
How is this to be accom-
plished? The only way possible
is by understanding. War or
other' means of force have pro-
vided solutions in the past, but
always of a temporary nature.
We have never reached the
point of true understanding.
But, today, we are at the
dramatic juncture where under-
standing—nation of nation and

people of people—is vital be-
cause of the constant threat of
atomic annihilation.
The knowledge of one's
neighbor, the understanding of
his likes and dislikes, the sacri-
fice of small pleasures that will
aid our fellow human beings,
are, at best, trivial compared
to the great prospect of peace.
We could make a number of
resolutions for the year ahead,
but resolutions nowadays seem
only made to be broken. If all
of us made just one resolution
—and kept it—what a much
easier world this would be to
live in.
That resolution, of course, is
to be nice to your neighbor.

South Haven Reports
Improved Facilities

Although tens of thousands
of people who vacation every
summer in South Haven, Mich.,
are not yet planning vacations,
the city of South Haven is
thinking about ,them and their
comfort and convenience.
The beaches will be im-
proved, the roads widened and
improved lighting will be in-
stalled.
Liquor by the glass was
voted in the last election. As
a result a new cabaret will be
opened, and resorts will be able
to serve liquor.
Boulevard lights will be in-
stalled throughout the length
of North Shore Drive and on
Dykman from North Shore
Drive across the river.
The road at the beach will
be widened - another 16 feet.
There will be a board walk
with benches which will par-
allel the road.
In the past two years, more
and more resorts have built
swimming pools. Additional
improvements are being
planned by most of the resorts.
The program of development
and improvement by the city
administration, coupled with
the continuous modernization
program by the resorts, helps
keep South Haven one of the
most popular vacation spots in
America.

a regular part of its activities,
according to Renee Fox.
All the way up to $16,000 and
nobody knows where she will
stop! That's the role of the
famous racing fan, Miss Susan

Young Israel Center
Announces Banquet Plan

Rabbi Yaakov I. Homnick
will deliver the sermon at 9 a.m.
services, Saturday, of Young
Israel Center of Oak-Woods on
the subject "Eyes That See."
Services today are planned for

The congregation is currently

Here is an artist's conception of the Exhibit Hall that
covers the main floor of the $1.5 million Bnai Brith Building
now under construction in the nation's capital. This modern
gallery, which will exhibit paintings, sculpture, historical docu-
-ments and other priceless objects symbolizing Jewish contribu-
tions to American democratic life, is expected to be a major
attraction for Washington sightseers. The eight-story building'
is scheduled for completion by November 1957.

FEPC Without Penalties
Introduced for Action

SAN FRANCISCO, (JTA)—A
fair employment practices ordi-
nance, minus the customary jail
sentence for discriminatory em-
ployers rejecting mediation, has
been introduced for action by
the city Board of Supervisors.
The proposed ordinance is -Spon-
sored by the San Francisco
Committee for Equal Job Op-
portunity, which is backed by
more than 150 civic leaders rep-
resenting all phases of commu
nity life.
In submitting the measure,
the sponsoring committee em-
phasized the safeguards pro-
vided for employers, particular-
ly assurances that the legisla-
tion would not embarrass em-
ployers not guilty of discrimi-
nation. The proposed ordinance
places its principal emphasis on
education, discussion and con-
ciliation. The measure, however,
provides for resort to court ac-
tion if conciliation processes
fail.

protest to Egypt for the Nazi-

Jews by President Nasser."
In his letter to the President,
Mr. Stevens stated:
"The Urban League is always
deeply concerned about mis-
treatment of any people and
especially defenseless minority
groups, and it is our fervent
hope that you will lend the full
weight of your authority in
dealing with the Egyptian gov-

have it on our consciences that
we as a people have silently
accepted this kind of inhuman-
