"THE RABBI ANSWER
(AN AJP FEATURE)
QUESTION: Is there any hu
man act higher than “charity.”
ANSWER: Yes. “Gmilus Chaso-
dim”—Acts of Kindness. Acts of
lovingkindness constitute one of
the three pillars upon which the
world rests.
There are three ways in which
“Gmilus Chasodim” is greater
than charity.
1. Charity is only to the poor;
an act of kindness applies to
rich and poor.
2. Charity is done by means
of money; an act of kindness is
a personal act. performed by the
person himself, as when one
visits the sick.
3. Charity is for the living;
acts of kindness are for both the
living and the dead, as when a
person shows his respect to the
dead by attending his funeral
rites.
While there is a limit as to
how much charity one can give,
there is no limit on acts of kind
ness; for we must always be
ready to help lift the burden of
people and help make life sweet
er for everybody.
Micah states: What doth God
ask of thee, but to do justice,
love kindness and walk humbly

Here’s why your
Fire Insurance costs
Eiave h»en increased
Fire ii - ^ rates are based primarily on the
• ntio of fire losses to premiums paid. This is known
ns the burning rate. When the burning rate is high,
rates go up. When it is low, rates go down.
Insurance companies use experience over a five
year period as a basis for rates. When the figures
for the years 1952-1956 became available they
showed that Georgia’s insured fire losses during the
period were $70,000,000. This increase of more than
$26,000.0(H) over the years 1947-1951, plus increased
operating costs made the recent rate increase neces
sary.
This was the first increase in Georgia’s fire insur
ance rates since 1948. During this 10 year period,
rates had been reduced eight times because of the
low burning rate. Even with the recent rate in
creases, Georgia’s fire insurance costs are still 16%
below those in effect in 1948.

Khrushchev Will Have to Get
OK of Jewish Guard at UN
FORMER U.S. COAST GUARDSMAN
BERNSTEIN IN CHARGE OF MAIN GATE;
SON OF STRICTLY ORTHODOX PARENTS
By DAVID HOROWITZ
UNITED NATIONS, (AJP) —
Whenever Premier Nikita Khru
shchev and his party arrive at
the United Nations for the Sum
mit Conference, he and the party
will have to get the O.K. of a
Jewish security officer, the six-
foot three inches tall Fred Bern
stein, son of strictly orthodox
parents residing in the Bronx.
His mother was born in Austria;
his father in Boston.
With the UN since 1952, Bern
stein at present covers the most
important beat to which a UN
Security Office can be assigned—
the main gate through which
the Secretary General arrives
each morning with a smile. Here,
too, all delegates and diplomats
must pass and Bernstein checks
all as they drive through. The
screening of individuals is not
always easy.
Impressive-appearing in his
military bearing, Bernstein is
very proud of his job as an in
ternational “policeman” as he
performs his daily duties at his
post located near the line of the
81 flagposts flying the colors of
the member UN states including
the Blue and White of Israel.
One of some seven Jewish Se
curity Officers here, Bernstein
is very proud of his Jewish heri
tage, as are the others who
often discuss the world problems
with this writer, especially those
relating to Israel and the Mid
dle East.
Born in Brooklyn in 1920,
young Fred received most of his
Hebrew education from h i s
grandfather and was Bar Mitz-
vah in the Temple of the Pride
of Juda Orphan Home in Brook
lyn. Following his graduation
from High School, Bernstein at
tended the Delchanty Police
School in the evening while
working in the garment center
during the days. As he was about
ready to take his police test, in
1942, Fred was called into serv
ice, joining the U.S. Coast Guard.
He spent 13 months with a Mili
tary Police Unit. Always eager
to move ahead, Bernstein took
an examination and was accept
ed in Columbia University for
a course in Pharmacy and grad
uated four months later with a
third class petty officer’s rating.
Later he was transferred to
South Carolina and assigned to
duty upon an anti-sub patrol
vessel.
In May, 1946, after spending
nearly four and a half years in
the service, Fred was discharged
with the rate of first class
pharmacist mate.
Officer Bernstein married
Pearl Pugatch in 1948. They have
two children, Susan, 8 years, and
Gary, three. Their home is in
Oceanside, Long Island.
Fred’s favorite sport is weight
lifting, having won a cup in
1937. He enjoys good music and
good food.
Having recounted his life story
to this writer, the Jewish main
gate-keeper at the United Na
tions concluded:
“I always greet my landsmen”
with a big Shalom!’’
