THE IODTHIIN ISIAILITE
One Man’s Brotherhood
BY ADOLPH ROSENBERG
Good deeds do not guarantee a person good health on this
earth and any expectation of this kind of reward is pretty
much an empty attitude.
Take the oase of I. Hetman for
instance—an Atlantan who lit
erally dedicated two decades of
his life to improve the health of
others.
He died last Friday after a
period of travail that was not his
dessert—if this be the measure
of dedication.
Learn how completely he in
volved his life in the task of
good deeds. Largely these were
in pursuit of the Red Cross Blood
Bank, pioneered by himself and
several other stalwarts in two
sponsoring organizations—Mason
ic Lodge No. 216, F&AM, and
Post 112, JWV.
It would have been enough
simply to create this means for
supplying the life-giving fluid to
patients and I. Heiman would
have earned eternal plaudits for
this alone and the esteem and
admiration of the community as
well.
But typical of his dedication,
he threw himself into such in
volvement that few people out
side his immediate family and
those directly concerned with
the imperative for blood knew
about the extent.
For years he kept at his bed-

side at home, and at his elbow
at work a cross index of poten
tial blood donors—complete with
home and business phone num
bers.
For years, hospital authorities
and Red Cross officials knew
that when an emergency arose,
an emergency when a specific
kind of blood was needed for a
patient and the normal sources
were unavailable that I. Heiman
could help.
He could help. And he did. Oft
en.
No matter what the time, he
did not mind being roused from
much needed sleep or interrupt
ed at the most important task of
his own business.
He quickly galvanized his ac
tions to the challenge at hand.
Soon, often within minutes, from
the most inconvenient addresses
Jewish blood donors were push
ing towards a hospital—no mat
ter what the hour—to assist in
the life-saving challenge by
donating blood. Sometimes for a
ohild, an accident victim, an op
eration casualty, never asking the
patient’s color or creed.
Not all the time are blood
donations succesful. Neither does
each pint of blood always save a
human life. Many however are
effective. Hundreds of persons
in virtually two decades have
been the benefactors of the
more than 10,000 pints of blood
collected via the concerted JWV-
Fulton Lodge Blood Bank drive.
I. Heiman and the donors knew
only that they had done all that
human beings could do to save
the lives of other human beings.
Facilitating the specifics for
this type of rescue would per
haps have satisfied men of lesser
dedication.
Not I. Heiman. He himself was
a frequent donor of blood. He
contributed regularly until he
reached the age where the Red
Cross called a halt. By then, he
had passed the five-gallon mark.
I. Heiman's dedication spilled
over into other arenas of the re
lationships in which he found im
passioned involvement.
His college fraternity was one
of his early loves and afterwards
though removed from campus
days, he continued as a senior ad
visor interested in the cherished
arenas of friendship which hold
together students in a fraternity
and furnish a bond for con
tinued and deepening relationship
in adult life. As a PhiEp alumnus,
he remained a source of helpful
advice and guidance to this phase
of college life, becoming the na
tional president and later con
tinuing to provide leadership.
He gave the same kind of stead
fastness to his Masonic Lodge,
earning promotion through his
chairs and maintaining a record
for attendance and participation
that has not been excelled prev
iously and likely never will be.
It was natural that fellow
members should respond to his
enthusiasm for the Blood Bank.
But he galvanized them Into
many another arena of care and
assistance to men and women in
need on the local scene.
So it would seem that I. Hei
man would have come to the end
of his days with the great ebulli
ence of good health on his credit
card.
It did not happen that way.
I. Heiman had never asked for
such a guarantee—nor expected
one.
He did what he felt he had to
do— without equivocation, with
out hesitation and with a quiet
dignity and grace which can be
an inspiration for all who love
their fellow man.

This morning at the airport,
waiting for Mike’s plane to come
in, it was my fortunate (or un
fortunate) time-killing device to
browse through the newsstand.
Ugh! What a change since I
was a kid! Guess I’m just an old
prude, but today a newsstand
seems a veritable ferris wheel of
filth . . . You can stop at almost
any point and gaze down on a
world of lurid love, and you'U
be able to get almost any view
you want just by where you stop
yourself on that rotating news-
rack!
Well, I agree there’s a fine line
between "art” and “filth.” And
maybe I’m not qualified to de
termine the author’s ability to
tightrope it. I know, too, there’s
a valid argument against censor
ship. (Once you start, where do
you stop? —etc.)
Still and all—how far oan we
let this four-flushing, four-letter,
forerunner of national degenera
tion roll along before this filth
trend becomes totally unstop
pable?
The one big item I personally
find so objectionable in this
newsstand pornography situation
is the slopping labeling. So this
idea for cleaning it up came to
me:
Let’s put all these books on one
special rack in the bookstores and
newsstands with a bright red sign
at the top:
PORNOGRAPHY, GUTTER
SEX. GENERAL FILTH
That way, a customer interest
ed in this literature could walk
straight over to the garbage of
his choice—without necessity of
going through racks marked with
such misnomers as “MYSTERY”
or “NOVELS” or “NON-FIC
TION.” All these categories pres
ently contain liberal sprinklings
of the oversexed products of un-
dersexed authors. Trouble is,
there’s no separation from the
few normal works remaining.
In addition to thus saving con
sumer buying time, the separate
rack offers several other advan
tages, I think:
Chiefly, it would probably no
longer be necessary to have lurid,
deceitful covers on books which
actually contain no daring lines
or torrid scenes whatsoever.
Today publishers of even puri
tanical epics, cookbooks or what-
have-you, apparently feel they’ll
be lost in the buying shuffle
without covers bearing pix of
bosom-y babes and suggestive
titles.
Secondly, the PORNO-RACK
(as it could be called in the
The Porno-Rack
trade) would have an economy
sized tag marked "ADULTS
ONLY.” Our children would thus
not be exposed at an age too early
to grasp the unintentional humor
and unreality of a lot of this no
talent output. Adolescents could
be shielded, too, from the guys
who so obviously include raw
scenes in their evil opuses just
for the sake of shocking adoles
cents. The PORNO-RACK would
ruthlessly weed out this highly-
trumpeted trumpery.
Lastly, for all that vast busi-
ness-as-usual crowd want to
wink both eyes and say “Oh,
these things are all right in their
place”—Well, now there twill be
a place!

You see, I feel that a certain
number of these moral booby
traps in paperback form may be
inevitable in the space age. But
I wonder if somebody shouldn’t
draw some kind of battle
line . . .
Why shouldn’t some of our
Jewish organizations take a firm
stand on this issue, joining with
other civic groups in this overall

Mrs. Edward Zwig, 633-2000, an

ard Schwartz and Mrs. Marshall

Schube is new ads chairman and
Mrs. Rubin Lansky is chairman

responsibility?
cl 966
Recently, Simcha had an exe
cutive meeting. We decided upon
a few ideas for our fund raising.
Carol Schwarzman is the chair
man of the fund raising. On her
committee are Corinne Capeluto,
Carol Wolin and Linda Ulman.
Soon Sheila Mandel, Janet Light,
and Carol Schwarzman will be
going to Egleston Children’s
Hospital. We will be giving the
young patients sock dolls that we
made at the last meeting. We are
very sorry to see basketball sea
son over. We would like to thank
all the girls on our team for try
ing.
Simcha is looking forward to
winning at least one game next
year. High scorers for the sea
son are Cheryl Gay, Corinne Ca
peluto and Beth Bogart. We
would like to welcome all new
members. We hope Linda Ulman,
Carol Wolin, and Susan Roth-
stein will enjoy being in Sim
cha.
