looked, the proper people can-
not always be seen and talked
to, and so full adavntage is not
taken of all the opportunities
presented by the trip.
The ideal plan, from my ex-
perience, is to go with a small
group led by someone who
knows the country and its peo-
ple, and who can make the pro-
per contacts, to interpret the
situation of the country and its
future prospects. The leader
must have made the trip before-
hand; he must know some of
the key people; and he must
plan the trip in such a way that
very little time is wasted and
that all the important phases of
the life of the country are given
due consideration.
Very little is gained by just
seeing cities or listening to lec-
tures. Such views may be seen
and opinions may be read about
at home without the trouble and
expense of taking a trip. The
real advantage of a trip is to see
and talk to people, so that we
can get the feel of their attitude
and their relationship to their
own government, to their people
and to the future of their land.
There is no substitute for
people. They are the true cri-
terion of any nation’s success
and progress. The tourist who
does not get a chance to talk to
them and to understand their
problems, their concerns; their
hopes and aspirations has wast-
ed his tour. On the other hand,
he who has learned from them
their frustrations, their needs
and their hopes has learned the
secret of the nations’ prospects
for the future.

that time. The new evidence
indicated that Josiah took ad-
vantage of the decline of the
Assyrian empire and conquered
the coastal plain.
The scientists pointed out
that the letter was written in a
very skilled script but in clumsy
language, suggesting that the
letter was dictated by the peas-
ant to a professional scribe,
typical of the scribes who sat
near city gates to handle such
writing chores. Other fragments
included Hebrew inscriptions on
pottery which indicated that the
letter was not misplaced but
originated in the Israelite pop-
ulation resident in the area at
that time.

ON TRAVELING
Ever more of our fellow Jews
are taking a trip to Israel and
to Europe and it may not be
amiss if I offer a few sugges-
tions as one who has taken the
trip several times.
There are several ways of
travelling abroad. Some prefer
to go with large national groups
like B’nai B’rith, Hadassah, and
other such organizations. There
are both advantages and disad-
vantages to such a plan. The
advantages are that it usually
costs much less, that the trip is
well and efficiently planned,
and that an opportunity is given
to study of the work of the par-
ticular organization that spon-
sors the trip. On the other hand,
the program, of necessity, has
to be regimented, and very lit-
tle opportunity or time is given
for the expression of private in-
terests and concerns. Also, very
little leisure is left to meet peo-
ple and talk to them, and so to
get a first hand impression of
what is going on in the country.
Another plan is for several
couples to go together on their
own. Here, too, there are ad-
vantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that their time
is their own, they can do with
it as they choose, and they are
free to give full play to their
own personal private interests
and contacts. The disadvantage
is that, without a thorough
knowledge of the country and
its people, much time is wasted,
many important trips are over-

Hebrew Letters,
Written 2,700 Years
Ago, Discovered
Jerusalem (JTA) — Portions
of a letter from an Israelite
peasant written some 2,700
years ago, which were found by
Israel archaeologists on the
coastal plan, may be part of the
oldest Hebrew letter ever dis-
covered, the Israel Antiquities
Department said this week. The
discovery of this letter was re-
ported by the Jewish Tele-
graphic Agency in January.
The fragments of an earthen
pot, on which the letter was
written, were found on the site
of an ancient fort a mile south
of Yavne Yam near the coast.
Scientists have completed as-
sembling the fragments and
have deciphered about half of
the text which has been tenta-
tively dated as having been
written in the Seventh Century
before the Common Era. The
letter is an appeal from the
peasant to his prince for return
of a cloak which, in accordance
with customs of the period, had
been confiscated for a bad debt
which the peasant denied.
Scientists said that besides
including at least one word
which has not been found in
any other known Hebrew text,
the letter seemed to indicate
that King Josiah had extended
his sovereignty to the coastal
plain and had settled the area
with Judean peasants. It had
been known that Josiah con-
quered northern Israel and
parts of the Negev but the
coastal plain had been thought
to be an Assyrian province at

LOAN FUNDS ...
Continued from Page 1
Phil Zuber and Dr. I. Ronald
Sonenthal, president of the Jew-
ish Family Service, ex officio.
The Loan Fund Board has
jurisdiction over the various
funds of the Jewish Family
Service which have been desig-
nated as interest free loan
funds. Remembrance Fund
(formerly the Flower Fund), the
Adeline J. Levy Memorial
Fund, the Jacob and Regina
Free Loan Foundation and the
Leo M. Levy Memorial Fund.
The Remembrance Fund is
one of the oldest free interest
loan funds in the community.
The Remembrance Fund is
the continuation of the Flower
Fund which was begun in the
early years of the Century. The
change in name has not
changed its character and mon-
ies from this fund are used to
cover two specific purposes: (1)
rehabilitation through loans; (2)
student scholarship loans. Busi-
ness loans are not made to those
who can secure funds through
bankable loans. The funds for
this loan are replenished by
contributions from the commun-
ity in honor of or in memory of
individuals—their days of joy
and of sadness.
The Leo M. Levy Memorial
Fund is established at the dif-
ferent schools in Houston, and
is administered by the indivi-
dual schools. Small emergency
funds are loaned to students on
a short time basis. This fund
also is nurtured through contri-
butions in memory, or in honor
of a loved one. The fund was
established in June, 1944 by
friends of the late Leo M. Levy.
The Adeline J. Levy Memo-
rial Fund was set up by the
heirs of Abe M. and Haskell
Levy, in memory of their moth-
er. The original charter was
dated 1910 and was incorporat-
ed in 1926.
