South African Periodical, Lantern,
Devotes Special Issue to Israel
Lantern, the Journal of Adult
Education, published under the
patronage of the Department of
Education, Arts and Science by
the Sou*. African Association
for Adult Education, has issued
a special edition devoted to
"The People of the Book" and
dedicated to the State of Israel.
It is a very impressive edition,
the contents of which cover the
major eras in Jewish history.
This special edition is part of
a series of similar efforts, the
purpose being "to strengthen
the cultural ties that exist be-
tween us and other nations or
national groups sharing our
Western way of life."
It is a bilingual work —
printed in English and in Af-
rikaan.

Mollet Repeats Pledge
For the -Passover Seder
feast Mother's Gefilte Fish
makes a fitting first course.
The fish patties, topped here
with cucumber curls, can be
arranged appetizingly around
a hollowed out lemon half
filled with horseradish or
Mayonnaise-horseradish sauce.

A typical menu for the Pass-
over Seder feast would include
gefilte fish and horseradish,
chicken soup with matzo balls,
a stuffed roast chicken, boiled
new potatoes, fresh asparagus
tips, wine, and cake.
Since the most cherished
linens, china, silver and glass
--often handed down from gen-
eration to generation-,--are used
for the Seder table, it is only
fitting that the foods be present-
ed as elegantly and appetizing-
ly as possible.
Here is a recommendation
from the makers of Mother's
,offre.' Gefilte Fish • (old fashioned
gefilte fish). In the center of a
glass or silver tray, place a nest
of lettuce leaves. On the lettuce,
place a hollowed-out lemon rind
filled with Mother's Horseradish
and top it with a triangle-shaped
lemon wedge. Arrange gefilte
fish patties radiating symmetric-
ally from the center of the tray.
Garnish each patty with a cu-
cumber curl and place a thin
slice of cucumber between the
patties. To make cucumber
curls, slice a cucumber thinly,
slit the slices from the center
to the skin and twist. Accom-
pany this tray with a sauce
made with equal parts mayon-
naise and horseradish.

filte Fish is certified Kosher

PARIS (JTA) — Three hun-
dred delegates from 17 countries
in Europe and North Africa
started hammering out an inter-
national fund-raising program
at the largest "aid to Israel"
conference ever held in Europe.
French Premier Guy Mollet
took the occasion to reiterate
support of Israel's position on
the Middle East situation.
Dr. Nahum Goldmann, presi-
dent of the Jewish Agency, told
the parley that barring unfore-
seen developments, Israel will
remain the foremost problem on
the international agenda for
some time.
But that fact, he warned, "has
its dangerous side as well as
its good aspect. It is good be-
cause it creates the hope that
the great powers will search for
a policy which will end in a
settlement of Arab-Israel issues.
It is dangerous because a solu-
tion might be sought which
would demand concessions from
Israel and thus menace its
future and its development."
By the time Israel celebrates
its tenth anniversary in 19518,
he said, it will, in accordance
with present indications, receive
its millionth immigrant. Al-
ready, said Dr. Goldmann, 87'5,-
000 immigrants have arrived
in Israel. Jewry's "historic
task," he declared, is not only
to complete bringing into Israel
the million immigrants who are
on the way, but to prepare Is-.
rael to receive still another mil-
lion Jews. In Central and East-
ern Europe and in the Middle
East alone, he asserted, there
are stil labout 900,000 Jews, of
whom an estimated 400,000 "are
eager to come to Israel."
Levi Eshkol, Israel Finance
Minister, declared that while
the Israelis "bear the full brunt
of struggling for their security,"
paying high taxes and manning
their armed services while at
the same time developing their
internal economy, they must
have help from world Jewry.
May Name Paris Street
In Honor of Dr. Herzl
PARIS, (JTA) — M. Pelle-'
tier, Prefect of the Seine Dis-
trict, has recommended to the
Muncipal Council that a street
be named in honor of Dr. Theo-
dor Herzl. He has suggested
that Rue de l'Hotel de Ville, on
which are located Paris munici-
pal offices and on which Jews
have been long-time residents,
be chosen for the honor.
Israeli Military Hero
Comes to U.S. for UJA
Brigadier General Chaim Las-
kov, Commanding General of
the Southern Command of the
Israel Defense Forces, former
Commander of the Israel Ar-
mored Corps and one of the
leading heroes -
of the recent
Sinai cam-
paign, will ar-
rive in the
United States
April 19, to
take part in
an extensive
speaking tour
for the $100,-
000,000 Emer-
gency Rescue
F u n d of the Gen. Laskov
United Jewish Appeal and the
regular 1957 UJA Campaign.
General Laskov, widely known
as a brilliant military leader
and tactician, commanded the
northern attacking force of ar-
mor which broke through at
Rafah and captured El Arish
after hostilities broke out with
Egypt in the Sinai Peninsula
in late 1956. He was placed in
charge of the security of the
Negev area after the death of
Colonel Assaf Simhoni, who
was killed in an air crash. Gen-
eral Laskov, a brigade com-
mander in the 1948 War of In-
dependence, is former head of
Israel's Air Force and former
Chief of the Training Command
of the Israel Army. Proceeds of
the Emergency Rescue Fund,
sought over and above the nor-
mal UJA Campaign needs, are
transportation and resettlement
in Israel and other free coun-
tries for 100,000 refugees in
flight from danger and oppres-
sion in Egypt, Hungary and
other lands in Eastern Europe,
North Africa and the Middle
East, The UJA constituent agen-
cies—the United Israel Appeal,
the Joint Distribution Commit-
tee and the New York Associa-
tion for New Americans—must
also provide assistance to 525,-
000 newcomers in Israel and
distressed Jews in 20 other
countries throughout the world.
A fourth agency, the United
Hias Service, will also benefit
from the Rescue Fund although
it is not a constituent.
Court Ditches Attorney's
Explanatioil of Jay-Walking
JERUSALEM, (JTA) — Dr.
Tomtov Koszo, a Jerusalem at-
torney, spoke up smartly in his
own defense on a charge of jay-
walking but he lost the case.
Appearing before the Jeru-
salem District Court to appeal
a fine for' the offense, the at-
torney told the court that he
did not deny the charge, but
that it happened on a Saturday
evening, when the pavements
of the capital were so full he
had to walk in the road.
Schavers Sponsor Publication of
Notetvorthy Book, `Roads of Zion'
"With the help of Emma and
Morris Schaver," eminent De-
troit Labor Zionist leaders, the
Pinchas G i n g o 1 d Publishing
Foundation of the National Com-
mittee of the Jewish Folk
School, 45 E. 17th St., N.Y. 3,
has issued a' very attractive
book, in Yiddish, "Oif Di Vegen
Fun Zion"—"On the Roads of
Zion"—by the eminent Jewish
poet, Kadia Molodovski.
While it is intended for chil-
dren, and its typographical ar-
rangements lend themselves ex-
cellentl3r for youngsters, the
book will be found of great in-
structive value by parents as
well.
It is a history—poetically told.
It begins with the story of Jeru-
salem which is described as "the
heart of the Jewish nation,"
and proceeds to describe the
other great Israeli centers —
Safed, Tiberias, Rehobot h,
Hedera, Deganiah, Merohavi•h,
Kvutzah Kinereth, Ein Harod,
Nahalal and other centers.
It deals also with personal-
Civil Liberties Union
Hits Barring of Jews
from the Dharhan Base
WASHINGTON (JTA) — The
annual report of the American
Civil Liberties Union sharply
criticized the US. Government
policy of screening U.S. citizens
to bar Jews from service at the
U.S. air base at Dharhan, Saudi
Arabia,
The ACLU declared that the
government is in violation of
the principle of separation of
Church and State. Another gov-
ernment, the ACLU said, has
the sovereign right to exclude
civilians it does not desire, but
it is "a very different matter
for the authority of the armed
services of this country to en-
gage in screening of U.S. citi-
zens."
Women like not only to con-
quer, but to be conquered.—

barn, Israel Schklover, Theodor
Herzl, A. D. Gordon, Berl Katz-
nelson, Dr. Chaim Weizmann,
I. H. Brenner, Captain Wingate,
David Ben-Gurion.
It concerns itself with many
issues and movements—with the
activities of the BILU-im, the
settlers in Israel, the Shornrim
movement, the Jewish Legion,
the attempts made by Jews to'
break through the barriers set
up by the British against those
who sought entrance in Pales-
tine before the establishment of
Israel.
The book leads up to the
creation of Israel, describes
the workings of the Knesset
and the Kibutz Galuyot —
ingathering of the exiles
ideal.
It is, in its entirety; a very
poetic tribute- to the builders of
Zion and to their creative re-
sult: Israel.
