OUR KIDDIES 9
©Mr'Boys and Girls:
If you ■were asked who was ttw
first dressmaker in history do you
agree with me that the answer is
1BVE?
Some one has said that the first
man to take a ride in a submarine
was JONAH. It makes sense,
doesn’t it, since Jonah was swal
lowed by the whale.
There are many FIRSTS in his
tory to be found in the Bible and
these are Just a couple of them.

A Thought for the Week
A great rabbi has said: “Who is
& wiae man? He who learns from
All men.”
* * *
What He Yelled At
Whet is that man yelling at?”
inquired Tommy of his younger
brother.
"At the top of his voice,” replied
the little one.
Who Is Rich?
The ancient Jewish rabbis were
very revolutionary in their ideas.
They shunned riches for their ma
terial value alone, and they taught
social justice and an idealism
which would make for a better
aoolety and for kindness among

men and women. The following
story, which I borrow from a once
very popular magazine Young Is
rael, explains this idealism:
“Who is rich?" ask the rabbis,
And they answer: “He who is con
tented with his lot." That is all
very well, but how is one to obtain
that blessed feeling of content
ment, when everything seems to
conspire to make us discontented?
The answer is to be found in a
simple. Suppoae one is short
sighted. Everything around seems
blurred and misty. On go the
spectacles, and what before seem
ed a confused jumble, now stands
out sharp and clear. The right
glasses have made all the dif
ference. There are always dif
ferent ways of looking at things:
“Two men looked out from
prison bars; One saw mud and
the other stars.”
And the same idea has been
expressed in the lines:
“The darkening street about me
lie,
The shame, the fret, the squalid
Jars,
But swallows' wings go flashing
by,
And in the puddles there are
stars.”
Yes, there are always two ways
of looking at things. The lot of the
prince may seem more desirable
than that of the peasant, but the
latter may say, as one of Shakes
peare’s peasant’s said:
“The self-same sun that shines
upon his court
Hides not his visage from our
cottage, but looks on alike.”
And who can tell whether the
one we most envy has not some
secret troubles and cares of which
we have no knowledge? Indeed,
there is an old legend that every
one was once asked to cast his
troubles into a common pool and
pick and choose which one hei
would have, and in the end alf
chose their own again, finding to
their surprise that their neighbor’^
cares were much worse than their
own. There was a wise old Romari
emperor who said, “Think not so
much of what thou hast not as of
what thou hast; but of the thingd
thou has select the best, and then
reflect how eagerly they woulcf
have. been sought if thou hadst
them not.” Cultivate the poetid
temperament which is able to no-<
tice that “pools of brine hold lit
tle bits of sky,” and you will begin
to wonder how you missed taking
stock of all the blessings you hold
and came to complain only of your
disabilities.
Let me quote a little story told
by the Russian writer Turgenev:
I was walking along the street. . . .
I was stopped by a decrepit old
beggar. Bloodshot, tearful blue
lips, coarse rags, festering wounds.
. . . Oh, how hideously poverty
had eaten into this miserable crea
ture!
He held out to me a red, swollen
filthy hand. He groaned, he mum
bled of help.
I began feeling in all my pockets,
. . . No purse, no watch, not even
a handkerchief ... I have taken
nothing with me. And the beggar
was still waiting . . . and his out
stretched hand feebly shook and
trembled.
Confused, abashed, I warmly
elapsed the filthy, shaking hand.
. . . “Don’t be angry, brother; 1
have nothing, brother.”
The beggar stared at me with
his bloodshot eyes; his blue lips
smiled; and he in his turn gripped
my chilly fingers.
"What of it, brother?” he mum
bled. "Thanks for this, too. That
is a gift, too, brother.”
I knew that I, too, had received
a gift from my brother.

Reisman Realty Co.
In New Quarters
A B. Reisman has announced
removal of his business to new
quarters, Suites 508-509 and 510
in the Healey Building.
Expansion of the Reisman Real
ty Co. within recent years neces
sitated the larger quarters for the
new looation, Mr. Reisman said
He handles real -estate in all its
brandies. In addition he special
izes in writing insurance on such
fields as automobiles, liability,
fire and theft, casualty and bonds,
as well as loans on real estate.
A well-known figure in local
business and communal circles,
Mr. Reisman has been prominent
ly identified with the Jewish War
Veterans Post of Atlanta. He is a
veteran of World War I and has
held all the high ofiees locally
and in the State Department of
the J. W. V. He has in addition
served the J. W V. for fifteen
years as deputy chief of staff for
the U. S.
He is a past president of the
United Benovolent Association
and chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee of the Ameri
can Legion Post No. 1.
He is also one of the founders
of the Jewish Community Council,
on which he has served sinee its
inception, and an active member
of B’nai B’rith.
Recently we spoke of the im
portant part food customs and
Jewish cuisine play in our group
continuity. Here’s another in
stance to add strength to our argu
ments in favor of Jewish dishes;
A request came from Mrs. *A.
L. Goldsmith, 4748 Willis Ave..
Sherman Oaks, California, that is
most interesting. She writes;
“My husband and I are both
very fond of BAGEL but do not
eat any products of bleached
flour ... so 1 have to do all my
own baking. I would appreciate a
recipe for BAGELS . . .”
Nutritionists have called our
attention to the American demand
for WHITENESS of flour and the
resulting “evil," bleached flour.
You will notice that bags of flour
are marked "bleached," with the
added lines of required reading
matter which list the nutritidbal
ingredients that are meant to re
constitute the natural values of
said flour. A word war has been
progress on this subject for
years.
Our Pure Food A Drum Act
insists on honest labeling of all
flour. If you are like Mrs. Gold
smith, careful to get the natural
values in flour you use, look for
the flour which is marked “UN
BLEACHED" It may be a little
bit heavier, possibly darker, than
the bleached flour. But it can be
used for everything from Bagel
to Pie Crust. To make sure of the
lightness essential in baking, a
little more leavening is required.
Use your regular recipes plus a
trifle more baking powder, yeast,
etc.
Now for the recipe for home
made Bagel, worth the little extra
effort:
and elastic. Divide dough into 19
equal parts and form each into
rolls about % Inch thick. Form
these into B*#el* by pinching end*
together. Place Bagels on a flourqd
cookie sheet and slip under broiler
flame 3 minutes. Have the boiling
water and sweetening ready in o
deep kettle. Drop Bagels into
rapidly boiling water and cook
over moderate heat 15 to 20 minu
tes. Skim Bagels out of water and
return to the cookie sheet. Bake
at 375 deg. F. for 10 minutes, in
crease heat to 400 deg. F. for 5 to
6 minutes or till Bagels are brown
ed and crusted, about 15 minutes.
Variations are made by sprink
ling Bagels with coarse salt,
poppy seed or sesame seed beforo
baking process. To make seeds
stick, wet the bagel if necessary,
then bake. Yield: 1 dozen.
Bagels, Home-made
For want of a better descriptive
title, we call them Water-Dough
nuts. They are as distinctly Jew
ish as Gefllte Fish.
3 cups sifted unbleached flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar or 1 table
spoon honey
1 package granulated yeast or 1
cake compressed yeast
2/3 cup lukewarm water
3 tablespoons salad oil (or vege
table shortening)
1 egg
4 quarts boiling water to which
add 2 tablespoons sugar or 1
tablespoon honey
Sift together flour and salt (and
sugar if used). Use a deep mixing
bowl. Dissolve the yeast in luke
warm water. Add the oil or
shortening as soon as yeast is dis
solved. Make a well in the center
of the flour mixture and stir in
the liquid combination, adding the
egg when half the liquid has been
used. Stir briskly till it forms a
ball of dough. Knead lightly on a
well floured board, using another
3 tablespoons of flour. Return
dough to mixing bowl, punch
down three times, cover and let
rise at room temperature until the
dough has risen to top of,bowl.
, Knead well till dough is smooth
