CINCINNATI — The TV leg-
end which immortalizes Wyatt
Earp as a sort of Western
knight errant faces a challenge
from the Tombstone past.
A personal memoir, written
by a man who lived in the
Tombstone of the Earps and the
Clantons, brought to light by
American Jewish Archives here,
casts today's popular TV sheriff
in quite a different role.
Examining the papers of Sam
Aaron, a native of Salt Lake
City who sprawled and brawled
his way through the Far West,
during the wild and woolly
days, the Archives, the histori-
cal research center on the Cin-
cinnati campus of Hebrew
Union College - Jewish Institute
of Religion, discovered reveal-
ing references to the fabled
Earp.
Aaron, born in 1866, like
many others in the West of his
Poems of Prayer
`Wonderful Day':
and Thanksgiving
Ilo Orleans is the author of
a book of poems of prayer and
thanksgiving under the title
"This Wonderful Day." Splen-
didly illustrated by Pelagie
Doane, this volume will serve
a wonderful purpose in every
Jewish home where there are
little children•
Published by the Union of
American Hebrew Congrega-
tions, the value of this book
lies in its excellent taste. It
is on a high level, and parents
will have no cause to try to
select poems from this collec-
tion for their appropriateness.
All of them are appropriate,
and while they serve the pm--
pose of all f_ aiths they have a
fine Jewish flavor which dis-
tinguishes them above many
others of a similar nature.
Dr. Emanuel Gamoran, edi-
tor of publications of the Union
of American Hebrew Congre-
gations, states in a foreword
to the book that "This Wonder-
ful Day" is part of a publica-
tions program begun 35 years
ago by the UAHC Commission
on Jewish Education. "This
book," he states, "should make
it possible for young children
to absorb readily and pleasantly
great ethical teachings."
The poems deal with trees,
birds, the home, grace-saying,
the seasons of the year. In
"God Is Our Father" the poet
sings:
God is our Healer;
Our ills He attends.
The hurts of the mind
And the body He mends.
Then there is this verse
from "A Prayer of Thanks-
giving":
We thank Thee for
The joy of living;
And sing a hymn
Of our thanksgiving!
"This Wonderful Day" pro-
vides true inspiratiOn for the
young and its author, illuStra-
tor and publishers are to be
commended for it.

Was Wyatt Earp a Desperado:
Jewish Archives Bring to Light
Memoii by a Man Who Knew Him
1
I
day, wandered from place to
place in search of riches. He
lived in Utah, Texas, New York,
Oregon, California and the
Arizona Territory. Some time
in the 1920s, after he had set-
tled down in Stockton, Calif.,
he took the trouble to write
his memoirs. Among the high-
lights is his account of life in
Tombstone, Ariz., in the '80s.
Aaron had seen Earp in ac-
tion and described him as any-
thing but a knight errant. Sam,
to be sure, was not entirely
unbiased. He had done business
with Earp's enemies, the Clan-
ton brothers, "Ike the oldest,
Fin the second, and Billy . . .
the kid."
Sam had this to say of the
Earps, whom he called Erbs
or Earbs:
"The Erbs and their combi-
nations would commit deprada-
tions, and immediately blame
it on the Clantons."
He remembered clearly the
feud between the Earps and
the Clantons.
"Whenever they met there
was sure to be a killing," he
wrote.
The killing of Morgan Earp,
Wyatt's brother, was one of
Sam's many vivid memories of
Tombstone.
Sam Aaron's hitherto unpub-
lished memoir — he calls it
"What Sam Says Is So,"—is
filled with the authentic flavor
of a world that has now passed
into the legendary realm of
Hollywood and TV. The first
16 pages of the original docu-
ment, edited by Dr. Jacob R.
Marcus, director of the Amer-
ican Jewish Archives, will be
published in the October, 1958,
issue of the semi-annual maga-
zine, American Jewish Archives.
The memoirs of this picaresque
Arizona pioneer add another
chapter to the fascinating story
of life in America's Far West
a century ago.

Eban, Dulles Confer
on Aid for Middle East
WASHINGTON, (JTA) —
Israel Ambassador Abba Eban
met with Secretary of State
John Foster Dulles for a gen-
eral review of the Middle East-
ern situation and a discussion
of topics of mutual interest.
Secretary Dulles told a press
conference that he doubted if
the United Arab Republic's ex-
ternal activities are inspired
or encouraged by international
Communism. He thought such
activities could be explained
by the UAR's desire to broad-
en the concept of Arab unity.
Dulles said the United States
looked with favor on the desire
of Italy to establish closer ties
with Arab states and did not
see that as incompatible with
Italy's NATO affiliation.

Shine, lamps of Dedication, shine,
Your hallowed radiance be the sign
That still there burns undimmed by years,
Not quenched, but fed by blood and tears,
In Israel's heart, clear, steadfast, bright,
The flame it caught from Sinai's height.
