6 EIGHTEENTH BIRTHDAY — A MESSAGE OF CHAI — TO LIFE
C
This is the time when Jews are wont to say “es koomt a
us mazed tov.”
.2 Israel is celebrating her eighteenth birthday.
If the occult science of numerology has any validity, it should
« be a lucky year for Israel since the Hebrew letters adding up to
eighteen mean life, or chai.
& Indeed, junior is growing up. In terms of general history,
’S 18 is a short time1. History echoes the words of Scriptures that q
5 thousand years are but a day in the eyes of the Lord. But history
C today moves at a far swifter pace. In the short space of eighteen
years the population of the country has been quadrupled, and
Israel’s gross product multiplied many times more. The past year
f* saw the opening of the great art museum in Jerusalem, the build-
,53 ing of Israel’s largest hotel and the opening of the new port city
2 of Ashdod.
.SB There is a legend that when Jerusalem is reconstructed,
m the Jews will come to It traveling safely on a giant paper bridge.
> Indeed, it was a far seeing sage who had this vision, for Israel
£» has seen not only bridges but bouses and roads built and culti-
M -voted by paper. Paper in the form of contributions to the United
<« Jewish Appeal which have helped to rescue and rehabilitate
X millions of people. The redemption of our faith is constantly ex-
pressed in the new hope and spirit we have given to those who
were distressed.
The buildings of the new port city of Ashdod was largely
due to paper too. The Israel bonds which Americans have so
generously bought. With such paper and faith, miracles may in-
deed be brought.
But what of the future? Who can peer behind the distant cur-
tain? Will Soviet Russia some day heed the cry “let my people
go*’ and permit the iron cuiritain to open up to those1 Jews wishing
to leave for Israel? Will a resurgence of anti-Semitism send fur-
ther torrents of refugees clamoring for admission to Isunael?
We do not know the answers. Yet this we know: History is
fdlt of the untfcrseen and the unpredictable.
This too we know, that the building of Israel is not for Israel
alone.

in the gowns worn by the ladies and their jewelry. Small trinkets
of diamonds, pdarls and rubies were priceless. Men’s swords and
suits of armor were equally trimmed lavishly. One wondered
how the royal courtiers went to battle. However, these were not
the battle pieces but the show of social pieces of Czaristic Rus-
sia. Soviet Russia was preserving them for the public.
In the museum were groups of visitors from various parts
of the Soviet Union. A few groups were from foreign countries,
particularly (East) Germany and other foreign satellite countries.
At the end of the tour one could buy pictures of the Kremlin
and books on the museum in the lobby. There was also a re-
freshment stand that served charged water for one kopeck and
sweetened charged water for two kopecks. Saltykov asked, A
drink?”
“Thank you.” He stood on a long line and waited for our
tuihn to receive the plass of water. One machine broke down.
It was fixed in minutes and we pireceeded.
“Well,” Saltykov asked, “What would you like to do now?”
“Can we go for a subway ride?”
He looked at his watch. It was nearing 4:30 P.M. “Sure.”
“I'm sorry. I’m taking you away. It will be too late for you.”
“No. No. That’s all right,” he insisted.
We went into the subway entrance near the Moscow Hotel.
DAVE FREED
The Moscow subway is a bustling hub of activity,
calators appear to go up like a ski slide.
Some es-
In coming down one escalator we were confronted by a man
of 70 arguing with two policemen. They did not answer his tirade.
He waved his hands at them and did everything but assault them.
“What is he saying?”
“It's just an old man screaming?”
“Don’t they do anything about it?
“That’s the privilege of the old,” I guess. “Youth must stay
in line and have respect.”
The people never once stopped to inquire what was happen-
ing. Everyone went scurrying along like long lines of aunts try-
ing to find the way home.
This is e message of chai — to 18.
And to life!

Funeral services for Dave
Freed, 80, of 6410 Pemberton,

Mr. Freed died here Sunday.
A native of Russia, he came
to the United States in 1905 and
served in the U.S. Army from 1905
to 1908.
In 1921, Mr. Freed came to Dal-
las and opened a cabinet shop
on Elm Street. He started a used
furniture store in 1936 and founded
Freed Furniture Co. in 1953.
Mr. Freed operated the store
until illness forced his retirement
last December.
Survivors, all of Dallas: Wife;
a daughter, Mrs. Aaron Klausner;
three sons, Bernard Freed, Joe
Freed and Sol Freed, and 10
grandchildren.
One of the few things that people do not stand in line for is
to purchase lottery tickets.
We boarded the train. “Where do you want to go?”
We both got up and looked at the map of the Moscow sub
Way. I pointed to the most distant station. “Can we go here?”
I still wanted to see how the average Russian lived.
“Sure,” Saltykov agreed.
* We rode about 30 minutes from downtown Moscow and left
the train at the last station. This station was not as elegant as
the downtown stations. The platforms were bare cement. There
■were not luxurious murals or motifs in tile depicting the history of
the Soviet Union.

“Well, did you see everything?”
“Can ws go out into the street?”
“Yes. Come.”
Outside the snow was piled in huge mounds. A new apart-
ment house complex, completed, stood before us. Each complex
had its own group of stores. We went into the grocery store
some 50x100 feet in area. Counters displayed rough cuts of
meat. There were stocks of canned fish and sardines. Some fresh
fish was cut in slabs in one department. Most of the vegetables
were small and looked as if they had been frozen.
Women walked around with little mesh shopping bags gaz-
ing at the counters. When they discovered what they wanted,
they inquired about the price, went to a central cashier and re-
ceived a register ticket for the specified amount. Then they re-
turned to the original line and waited to give the grocery clerk
the slip for their purchase. Shopping was a time - consuming
affair.
Thus, if the average Russian woman living ih Moscow worked
seven hours a day, she spent about 114 hours a day going to
work, 114 hours a day shopping for food and 1 hour a day al-
located for lunch. Muscovites work six days a week. Thus our
Russian female worker spends 11 hours a day getting to work
and shopping for the family. Now, if she has a child, and her
mother or husband’s mother takes care of it, or if it is at* a
nursery, she has to allot time to pick up the child. By the time
she arrives home, she is now ready to do the cooking and other
household chores. A major part of the budget goes for food,
Russians save very little, because of the shortages. The idea behind
this is that “tomorrow it may not be there. Or tomorrow they
may have what you do not want.”
The food store had several automatic vending machines for

N.Y. Senate Approves
Group Libel Bill
ALBANY, N.Y. (JTA) — The
New York Stale Senate approved
and sent to the State Assembly a
bill to outlaw racial and religious
slurs by hate groups and political
extremists and a measure to ban
the wearing of Nazi-style uniforms
in New York.
The group libel bill, which is
backed by the Jewish War Veter-
ans, would prohibit publication
of slanderous statements about any
racial, religious or ethnic group
with penalties of one year in jail
or $1,000 fines. The sponsors said
such measures had been made into
law in five other states, tested in
the courts and held to be consti-
tutional.
German Jews Open

second grade students, served by

the Jewish community, is recog-
nized by West German authorities
