The Avid End Readers
Isaac went into a book store
and asked for advice on a gift
he was planning for his girl
friend.
"How about book ends?"
asked the clerk.
"Wonderful, wonderful," said
the young man, "Give me about
a dozen of your best ends—
that's all she reads."

gee came to school one after-
noon 10 o k'i n g particularly
pleased with life. Her teacher
inquired as to what she had had
for lunch. The child hesitated:
"I can't say it in English."
"Then tell me in German."
"Macaroni," was the immedi-

A Talmudic Story
King Monebez opened his
treasury during a famine and
ordered the distribution of all
the riches therein, which had
been collected by his ancestors
and by himself, among the
poor of the country. His rela-
tives objected to the distribu-
tion and said to the king: "Your
ancestors collected these treas-
ures and added them to those
of their ancestors and now you
have thrown them away among
those ignorant people."
But Monebez answered: "My
ancestors collected treasures in
a place where the thieves can
get them; I am. laying up treas-
ures where no thieves can reach
them. They collected material
riches; I am gathering spiritual
wealth. They gathered for this
earthly life; I am preparing for
the eternal life."
Editor, The Jev ish News:
The French conclave of th e
World Jewish Congress in Pari
was highly interesting. The ar
ray of outstanding personalitie
on the rostrum included som e
people of international repute.
The great French - Jewis h
poet and writer Edmond Fle g
presided.
The former Minister and head
of the French undergroun d
movement during the war
Francois Mitterand, was among
the powerful speakers. He
stressed the mutual interest of
Israel and France in their coun-
ter-attack against Arabian ag-
gression.
Mme. Louis (Marcella) Rou-
bach, who recently visited De-
troit, was the only lady on the
platform among 80 delegates
from various Jewish commu-
nities of Western Europe and
Algiers.
We were fascinated by the
strongly emotional address of
the eminent French-Jewish
lawyer Henry Thorez and the
informative speech of Israel
Ziff of London, who is the pres-
ident of the European section
of the WJC, who spoke about
the forthcoming 25th anniver-
sary of the WJC, which was
founded in 1932 in London.
The address of Dr. Nahum
Goldmann was heartwarming.
One gains the impression in
Western and Central Europe
that Jews have not merely re-
constructed their community
lives after 12 years, but that
they are now aspiring again to
leading positions in politics,
_commerce and culture.

Rabbi Fram's Sister
Dies Saving Neighbor
in Cincinnati Fire
Fannie Fram, sister of Dr.
Leon Fram, rabbi of Detroit's
Temple Israel, died July 13, in
Cincinnati, 0., after being over-
come by smoke in a fire in her
apartment building last Wed-
nesday.
Miss Frain, manager of a
downtown Cincinnati millinery
store, had already made her
way out of the building during
the fire, when she returned to
assist a 76-year-old woman
neighbor.
Although damage from the
fire itself was not extensive,
there was excessive smoke.
After leading her neighbor from
the building, Miss Fram col-
lapsed and underwent an emer-
gency operation in a Cincinnati
hospital.
Following the operation her
condition was reported good,
but she suffered a setback Fri-
day, and Dr. Fram was sum-
moned to her bedside. He was
there when she succumbed.
Besides Dr. Fram, she leaves
another brother, Philip, of
Montreal. A third brother,
Harry, passed away on May 24.
Services and interment were in
Cincinnati.

In Memoriam
In memory of my beloved
wife and our dear mother, Mrs.
Gertrude Viedrah, who de-
parted this life two years ago,
on July 21, 1955.
Somewhere back of the sunset,
Where the loveliness never dies,
She lives in the land of glory,
With the blue and gold of the skies.
She had a smile for every one,
A heart as pure as gold,
To those who knew and loved her,
Her memory will never grow old.
Sadly missed by her husband,
Louis Viedrah, and daughters,
Charlotte, Roslyn and Helene.

Asch Burial in London
LONDON (JTA)—Funeral
services for Sholem Asch, world
celebrated Jewish writer who
died July 10 at the age of 77,
were held July 12. Burial was
in the Golder's Green Jewish
Cemetery after services at the
Liberal West London Syna-
gogue.
Members of the Association
of Jewish Journalists and
Authors, of which Asch was a
co-founder here, mounted a
guard of honor at the bier.
Asch had frequently expressed
his gratitude that when he was
unable to obtain a public plat-
form to defend certain of his
writings which had stirred up
controversy in the Jewish com-
munity, it was the association
which called a public meeting
to give him this opportunity.
