in skills to almost 15,000 persons at trade schools located in
22 cities and towns throughout_ the country. A substantial
portion of funds for these activities is derived from income

ficiary of Detroit Allied Jewish Campaign.

ter violinist if the golf courses
around Beverly Hills were shut
down.
His ambition had been to be
a violinist. His father gave him
a violin and a monkey wrench.
"Plumbing is a good business
too," he said.
Jack didn't do anything with
the monkey wrench. He played
around with the violin for some
time. In his first theatrical role,
in a melodrama called "From
Opera to Ragtime," Jack played
the role of a suffering violinist.
In the Navy too, he appeared as
a fiddler when his battleship put
on a musical revue, but he
found he got more response

from his words than from his
tunes.
Back in civilian life, he was
billed as Bennie K. Benny, but
this was often confused with
Ben Bernie, the name of a per-
former of some national re-
nown, so the name was changed
to Jack Benny.
In Hollywood, they say he is
a great worrier, that he "lives
on coffee and finger nails," but
his sponsors never worried
about him and millions of peo-
ple find him a weekly tonic.
Jack Benny says that in his
role he seeks to "encompass
about everything that is wrong
with everybody." The people
see themselves in a mirror. He
restores them to their humanity.
Jack Benny has a deep sense
for humanity. That is why he is
so ardent in his work for help-
ing to build Israel.

REMEMBER

The memories of Passovers gone by—the search and sale of the Chometz —Grandpa
poking around the kitchen, making the horseradish and theChoraches--putting on the
new suit of clothes and shoes—pockets full of hazel nuts—and almonds—anxiously
waiting for the Seder to start—Uncle Joe and Aunt Sadie were always late—the whole
family together—Grandpa looking like a king propping the pillow on the chair beside
him—Grandma tired after baking and cooking all day but "My Make" my queen, he
called her—the Kiddush and then my turn for "Ma Nishtanah" and the answer given
with Grandpa's voice ringing out over all—the first half of the Haruki' almost over—
even the bitter herbs tasted so good—Passover it was always "strong"—all were com-
pelled to eat it otherwise we could not get the hard boiled egg and salt water—and
then the meal—nobody, but nobody, could cook better than Grandma—we ate—and
ate and then the "Benchen"—and the rest of the Hagadah—and some more cups of
wine—and the opening of the door—and the stories of how in the old country someone
frightened the whole family by appearing at that door—but best of all the songs with
which the second half of the Hagadah abound—and the feeling of drowsiness—content-
ment—and the thought that tomorrow the same thing once more

Histadrut prizes for increased
productivity were awarded to
individuals and groups at a
festive ceremony last month at
Liessin House in Tel Aviv.
The 20 prizes went to eight
industrial, seven agricultural
and five occupation workers.
Among the award winners
were the Kibbutz Ma'apllim fish
pond crew which achieved a
record yield; a woman textile
worker; a director of the Tnuva
dairy co-op technical depart-
ment; a switchboard operator
commended for courtesy and
efficiency; a vatik (veteran) of
Kibbutz Geva who made many
contributions to agricultural
mechanization; a life guard at
Tel Aviv beach who has saved
some 5,000 lives during 35 years
of service; a kibbutz entomol-
ogist; and others.
One winner was Ben Zion
Avira, a volunteer couselor at
the Technical Youth Club in
Haifa, who has helped young-
sters in their hobbies for the
past five years. Avira, who is '75
years old, came to the country
in 1905, worked in Jaffa as a
machinist and was famouS as a
fixer of motors.
He was the first one in Pales-
tine to construct a diesel motor,
something the British experts
of the day could not do. For 30
years, Avira has worked with
the Naharayim power plant.
On May 14, 1948, he and his
co-workers were captured by
the Jordan Legion at Naharyim.
In 1951, due to illness, he re-
tired but he keeps up his ties
with the electric company in
Haifa.

How Jack Benny Became a Strong I srael Supporter

By FRED SILVER
Jack Benny got interested in
Israel when he was sent to en-
tertain the troops around Greece,
and he got leave to visit Tel
Aviv.
Afterward, Eddie Cantor asked
him for a contribution for
Israel.
Jack Benny took out a check
blank and signed his name. "Ed-
die," he said, "you fill in the
sum."
Eddie Cantor wrote in $25,000.
"I've been making so many
speeches for Israel Bonds," Jack
says, "they are beginning to call
me the Jewish George Jessel."
Jack says he would be a bet-
