i Combine Ytf JWH$Bl HJlHUlty 9f VOLUME 12.NO 4. MIAMI. FLORIDA. FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 1939 PRICE FIVE CENTS "Y" To Present Annual "Cavalcade of Stars >> Miami Jewry is expected to turn out enmaase Saturday mid- night for the Fifth Annual "Caval- cade of Stars," annual theatrical i-xtravaganza staged this year at the Plaza Theatre, Miami Beach. The "Cavalcade," presented each year by Nick Kenny, noted New York columnist and song writer, for the benefit of the Young Men's Hebrew Association here, will ?tart at midnight and continue into the morning. More than 50 acts of top flight vaudeville will be presented. In past years the show has broken all records for excellence, and according to Kenny is to be finer than ever this year. Opening the show at midnight will be Bob Nolan and his orches- tra, to "be followed by Mannie Gates and his band, who will pro- vide accompaniment for the bal- ance of the presentation. Rnbinoff and his violin, Ted ! show, Hank Greenberg, the Radio Aces, Frnee Fay, Leon Prima, Lillian Carmen, Owen and Barco, Bob Hall, Milton Douglas, Ramon and Renita, HiMegarde, Libby Hohnan. Crow and Dunn, Shelia Barrett, Terry Lawlor, Leon Kra- mer, Baron and Blair, Virginia Matteson, Valdyne Hague, Rita DeLand, Dol and Billy, Karen Stephany and Harry Stevens, are among the many world famous en- tertainers scheduled to appear dur- ing the performance. Kenny will officiate as master of ceremonies. Purpose of the "Cavalcade" is to raise funds for the continuance of the Y. M. H. A. work in the Miami area, according to Milton Friedman, president of the asso- .iation. "Tickets for the event are farce at this time," he said "but a few may be obtained at the box ffice of the Plaza Theatre before ;he performance, Y. M. H. A. head- quarters, or at the many booths erected throughout the city for disposal of reservations." National Federations Holds Convention Despite greater overseas needs and increased government respon- sibility for public welfare, Ameri. can Jews must continue to sup- port their local welfare, cultural and character-building agencies, Jacob Blaustein, president of the Associated Jewish Charities of Baltimore, declared at the closing session of the Sixth Annual Gen- eral Assembly of the Council of Jewish Federation and Welfare Funds which met in Baltimore this week. Attending the convention from Miami were Stanley C. My- ers, president and Baron de Hirsch Meyer, chairman of the Greater Miami Federation of Jewish Wel- fare Funds. The importance of maintaining welfare standards at home while radically revising standards of giving for relief and reconstruc- tion in Europe and Palestine and refugee requirements in this coun- try was one of the central themes of the three-day session of the Council, attended by more than 500 delegates from federations, welfare funds and community councils in the United States and Canada. Methods of raising the sums to be required by the newly formed United Jewish Appeal for Refu- gees and Overseas Needs, prob- lems of local community relation- ships and ways of developing fresh sources of community leadership among youth, women's groups and other elements heretofore not rep. i resented in communal activity j were considered in detail by the I delegates. Asserting that the new philoso- I phy which the government has de- veloped with respect to the needs of the underprivileged was wel- come "in principle," Mr. Blauhtein pointed out that public welfare programs have many inadequacies. (Continued on Page Eight) DORIE WORTH National Commander in Chief Jewish War Veterans from New York, will be in Miami next week to attend the installation of newly elected officers, Freda Markowitz Poet and Auxiliary, and to confer with local Veteran leaders on plans for the 1939 Convention of the National group. Jewish War Veterans To Hold Joint Installation Emigration Plan Nears Completion Testimonial Dinner In Honor Of Rabbi , 'Night of Stars Committee Meets The first "Night of Stars" tick- et committee luncheon was held at the home of R. R. Adler, president <>f the Jewish Welfare Bureau last Tuesday afternoon. The commit- tee decided on Monday evening, February 20th as the date for the Fifth Annual "Night of Stars" benefit for the Jewish Welfare Bu- reau to be held at the Olympia Theatre in Miami. Mrs. Bertha B. I-evy, chairman of the ticket com- mittee, outlined the plans for this year's ticket drive and appointed as her co-chairmen, Mrs. Maurice Jacobs and Mrs. Estelle Shramm, who will help co-ordinate the ef- forts of the entire group. Mr. Ad. ler pointed out the growing need for funds to operate the Bureau, stressing the fact that the organ- ization has been existing on bor- rowed funds since last November (Continue don Page Three) New YorkProtestants, Catho- lics and Jews should make certain that no hate movement gains headway in this country which would react against a minority, declared Dr. Everett R. Clinchy, director of the National Confer, ence of Christians and Jews, at a testimonial dinner here in honor of Dr. Israel Goldstein's comple- tion of twenty years as Rabbi of Congregation B'nai Jeshurun. Declaring that the dictatorships are "putting more new life into religion than any event in a hun- dred years," Dr. Clinchy asserted that "never before in the United States has religion been so ear- nestly discussed as the essential in people's lives, as today." Other speakers at the dinner in- cluded Professor Louis Finkelstein, Provost of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America; Municipal Court Judge Morris Rothenberg, Basle, (WNS)While nothing transpired in the course of the meeting here of the Bank for In- ternational Settlements to indicate that any definite agreement had been reached between Dr. Hjalmar Schaeht, president of the Reichs- bank, and Montagu Norman, gov- ernor of the Bank of England, concerning financial arrangements for Jewish emigrants from the Reich, the heads of European cen- tral banks agreed that the world bank would be available and could handle the enterprise in the event such an understanding could be reached. George Rublee, chairman of the Intergovernmental Committee on Refugees, accompanied by Robert T. Pell and Joseph Cotton, expres- sed the hope that a compromise plan might be accepted. In Basle the conversations dealt with the technical problem of whether the world bank should eventually be invited to take charge of any plan. It is said that the World Bank is especially qualified for such a task. Unofficial opinion was ex- pressed that the problem would not have been discussed so thor- oughly unless there was a pros- pect that some plan would soon be approved and it is understood that the only important obstacle still at issue concerns the amount of property in the Reich that Jews could transfer out of Germany. Doric Worth, New York, Com- mander-in-Chief of the Jewish War Veterans of the United States accompanied by Harry Wengrow, National Vice Commander, Atlan- ta, in charge of the Southern Re- gion, and Mrs. Malvina V.

Federation Celebrates With Victory Banquet Climaxing their initial campaign the Greater Miami Federation of Jewish Welfare Funds will hold their Victory Banquet Wednesday evening, February 1st at the Alcazar Hotel, when officers, workers and friends will gather to cel- ebrate the overwhelming suc- cess of their first drive. "It was with the greatest pleasure and satisfaction that we watched our campaign bar- ometer slowly rising," said Baron de Hirsch Meyer, Cam- paign Chairman of the Creator Maimi Federation of Jewish Welfare Funds in an interview with him. "This day is a red letter day in the annals of the Federation," said Mr- Meyer. "When our budget was com- piled, and a figure of $65,150. as the minimum amount which would suffice to take care of the needs of the 23 participat- ing agencies, there were many in this community who expres- sed themselves as doubtful that Mami Jewry could raise such an amount. It is to the credit of this community that our campaign has justified our faith in our ability to come to the rescue of those who need us in this time of previously; unequalled distress." Stanley C. Myers, president of the Federation was equally jubilant when interviewed at at the close of the Campaign. Said Mr. Myers: "The Jews of Creator Miami felt all along that a Federation of Jewish Welfare Funds was the answer to our problem. The result of this campaign showed conclu- sively that we were right- Your campaign chairman and I ex- tend our sincere thanks and appreciation to everyone who helped put this drive across.

Again the grim Angel of Death inflicted a wound which will not be easily healed. Again the roll of those who worked for the good of tfae entire community, whose unselfishness was marked, and whose life was dedicated to the task of making this commu- nity and this state a better place for all Jewry to live in, and to create an intelligent understanding between Jew and non-Jew has been depleted. i Devoted husband and father, self-sacrificing, staunch and true leader in Israel, though but young of age, ever bearing aloft the torch of true traditional Torah, at the peak of career which held much for the future of Judaism, has been torn away from family and friends. Por material things he desired but little. His glory was the possession of a vast treasure of spiritual heritage which he prized above all else. His was the task, self-assumed, to bring the glories of Jewry to all. ... He was a true leader in Israel. His was the pleasure of doing right regardless of personal consequences with the will to carry out the courage of his convictions. What can we say? The loss is irreplacable.....the void left in the heart of Israel ... in the hearts of his family and his vast host of friends and in the entire community, cannot be filled. What can we do? Pledge ourselves to emulate the life thus too soon closed. ... to carry on with the same courageous spirit, the noble work so adequately championed by him. , to prove our devotion by REMEMBERING AND NOT FORGETTING HIM. We who are left behind to carry on THE JEWISH FLORIDIAN, the publication through which he accomplished his good for Jewry, will strive to maintain his principles, his ideals and his platform, to fearlessly denounce atrocities of any people persecuted, to make this community and this state a placo where Jewry can stand erect without fear of proudly proclaiming themselves true members of Israel and where Jew and non-Jew may work hand in hand for the bene- fit of humanity. And as we recite the courageous justification "Dayon Hoemes" and say such is "HIS" will let us not be content therewith, but constructively show the appreciation and the love we bear the departed leade*in Israel, J. Louis Shochet, of sainted memory. With the help of God, and the support of his friends. Jews and non-Jews of the State of Florida, we will continue to pub- lish THE JEWISH FLORIDIAN. "Night of Stars" Committee Meets (Continued from Page One) and that the "Night of Stars" rev- enue was the only means of repay- ing the debt. Committee members who at- tended the luncheon were Mes- dames Lawrence Sapiro, Leon El- kin, Oscar Adler, Jack Diener, Ed- ward Friedman, Sam Blank, Ber- tha B. Levy, Clarence H. Cohen, Harry Oliphant, Estelle Shramm, Elsie Green, Maurice Jacobs, Mor- ris Alpert, host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. Rudy Adler. After the luncheon the Adlers entertained the committee on their lawn. i B'NAI B'RITH BRIEFS BY SIDNEY L. SEGALL The untimely passing of Brother J. Louis Shochet is a terrific shock to the entire Jewish commu- nity. Words are inadequate to express the feeling of Sholem Lodge of B'nai B'rith for the great loss suffered by Brother Shochet's passing. His untiring and unsel- fish efforts as chairman of the anti-Defamation Committee of B'nai B'riththe Lodge's most im- portant defense activityaccom- plished amazing results too num- erous to mention in this column. In losing Br.other Shochet. B'nai B'rith is confronted with the prob- Ipm of filling a gapa voidcap- ably filled by an able, conscien- tious and intelligent leader who waged a successful battle in de- fense of Jewish rights. His lea- dership as a communal worker in behalf of all Jewish causes will be definitely missed. Rabbi Freed Here On Yeshiva Tour Rabbi Mayer Freed of New York arrived last week as a representative of the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Yeshiva and Yeshiva College on his annual tour of "Federation" has completed an intensive ten day drive for over- seas relief, including many worthy Jewish causes. The drive went "over the top" with a grand total of $77,500.00. Congratulations to Brothers Stanley C. Myers and Baron de Hirsch Meyer, who did a great job as President and Chairman, respectively! Congrat- ulations to all workers for the splendid cooperation which helped to make the drive a success. Each and every worker should be proud to have shared in the responsi- bility which attaches to American Jewry in this present crisis of our people. Sholem Lodge's Installation Banquet was a splendid affaira fine "success. Congratulations and best wishes to the newly installed officers for a successful adminis- tration in office. The following Brothers were installed: president, Al Pallot; vice president, I. Le- vin; treasurer, Ben Le Vine, fi- nancial secretary, Marx Feinberg; recording secretary, Jack Abbott; monitor, Elry Stone; assistant monitor, Leo Eisenstein; warden, Matthew S. Bandler; guardian, Dr. Harold Rand; trustee, Baron de Hirsch Meyer. The men elect- ed are capable and qualified to serve and we are confident that the coming year will bring further accomplishments in the manifold activities of our great Brother- hood. Florida in the interests of the in- stitution. The famous Rabbi Isaac Elchan- an Yeshiva, and Yeshiva College at New York, with Dr. Bernard Revel as its dean and president, was founded by a group cf enthu- siastic traditional Jews some years ago, and has developed as the most powerful factor for the pre- servation of Orthodox Jewry not filone in this country, but even in the world at large. With the es- tablishment of the Yeshiva Col- lege several years ago it has com- bined the study of Jewish law and culture with the general study of science in distinctly Jewish sur- roundings. On its faculty are some of the most outstanding Jewish as well as non-Jewish scientists, many of whom have served without pay for long per- iods of time to help in the success of these Jewish ideals. Dr. Bernard Revel is recogniz- ed today as one of the most out- standing Jewish scholars, has di- rected its activities not only for the purpose of training Rabbis, but for the education of Jewish laymen in higher Jewish learning and general scientific training. Strictly Confidential By PHINEAS J. BIRON The week ending January 21, 1939, saw the largest volume Of air-mail dispatched in the history of the Miami post office, 10,575 pounds of air-mail being dispatch- ed that weekan average of 1,- 510.7 pounds per day. With 12 mail planes departing from Miami daily and carrying air-mail to all parts of the United States, Canada, Mexico, Cuba and the countries of Latin America, Miamians enjoy favorable sched- ules and frequent departures which rfford and excellent opportunity for the use of the airmail service provided by the Post Office De- partment The air-mail rate of postage is only six cents for each ounce which is only three cents more than ordinary mail; Postmaster Hill recommends the regular use of air-mail for all out-of-state let- ters, and points out that air-mail may be deposited in any street letter box as frequent collections of mail are made from street let- ter boxes and mail planes depart at frequent intervals. NUTZI NEWS Germany can't afford luxuries such as democracy (recently clas- sed in this category by Governor Karl Kaufman of Hamburg) or butter or meat, but Berlin mar- kets are full of Italian strawber- ries and other fruits nowwhich is Mussolini's way of helping Adolf kid the German people. . So acute has the shortage of good, solid food grown in Germany that the New York Nazi sheet is car. rying ads asking all sympathizers to send food packages to their relatives in the Fatheadland. . Among other things the German public isn't told is that many of the pilots who fly the Nazi air armada are so poorly trained that accidents are most frequent. . But for once we find ourself in agreement with the Nazi press ... Since Lindbergh's report to Amer- ica on the Nazi air strength some papers in Hitlerland are demand- ing that he return me medal with which the Fuerher decorated him some months ago. Our heart goes out to those courageous Ger- man cabaret artists whose digs at the high Nazi officials have aroused the ire of the barbaro- crats. One of these jokes, concerning Gory Goering, we must relay to you. ... It seems that while a crowd was watching the launching of a battleship Goering, who was aboard, stuck his head out through a porthole. Where- upon everybody shouted: "Look they just decorated Goering with a battleship." . OVERSEAS CHATTF.R A flaw thatstiflj' cause an even, tual crack-up of the Rome-Berlin axis is developing because the Nazis now want to take over all the Austrian shipping which for many years has been under Ital- ian control. "Certified lunatic" is what historian H. G. Wells now calls Hitler. Diplomatic circles are buzzing at the rumor that the Duke of Windsor may find his life's work as the director of a huge new international agency to succor political, racial and relig- ious refugees. Prague is see- ing the birth of a new club of Czech Aryans afflictfd with Hit- tite probosci (otherwise known as Jewish noses) They have unit- ed in self-protection against the expected racial laws, and are plan- ning to wear special identifying badges..... ASIDE TO SENATOR BORAH When you protested against the injection of the Jewish issue -into the Senate Committee's heaving on the Frankfurter appointment by one Allen Zoll, you forgot to mention that Mr. Zoll is on friend- ly terms with the Nazi Bund in this country, and also was the or- ganier of the Father Coughlinite picketing of radio station WMCA by a picket line that carried anti- Jewish placards. . YOU SHOULD KNOW The newest Nazi improperganda stunt is to send German sailors, on shore leave in America, to the movie houses, with instructions to applaud Hitler's appearances o" the screen....."The American Way," the new show coming to Mr. Rockefeller's Center Theatre, will include passages taken from Nutzi Fritzi Kuhn's pet speeches. .... Collier's Magazine will soon be featuring some hot revelations on Nazi concentration camps and on conditions among refugees. .. The author will be Quentin Rey- nolds. ... As if the refugees weren't having a hard enough time of it, the Naztis here have evolved a new way of harassing them. They march along some of the Hoboken steamship piers with signs reading ^:^We employ only refugees" and intended to stir up anti-refugee feeling..... THIS AND THAT Herbert Bayard Swope, whose nephew John has just finished a book of photos railed ("Camera Over Hollywood," is the head of a group that is frrjing to arrange a Germany-As-It-Use3-To-Be exhi- bit at the .New. York World's Fair. The Reverend John Ber- nard Kelly is finishing a bio- graphy of Patrick Cardinal Hayes. ....

W. Third Street ABRAHAM A. KELLNER, Rabbi RABBI'S RESIDENCE: 919 S. W. 13th Court; Phone 3-5192 TO HOLD RELIGIOUS FORUM The weekly Friday evening Re- ligious Forum will feature as a guest speaker the Rev. Dr. Samson R. Weiss who will speak on "Ed- ucation After Munich." Rabbi Weiss has been chief Rabbi of the Jewish community of Wurzburg, Germany where he achieved prom- inence as an orator of eloquence and an educator of note having been dean of the Orthodox Teach- ers Seminary. At present Rabbi Weiss is professor of Talmud in the new Israel Rabbinical College of Baltimore and is in Miami only for a short visit. Congregational singing under these religious forums is even more interesting and a most cor- dial invitation is extended to all. LADIES AUXILIARY PACKAGE PARTY SCHEDULED The annual package party of the Ladies Auxiliary will take place Sunday night, January 29th at 8:00 o'clock in the synagogue. A musical program has been arran- ged for the entertainment of those attending and refreshments will be served. The generous support of our friends is asked as proceeds are for the Talmud Torah fund. SUNDAY SCHOOL The senior assembly program will be presented by Class 5, sec- tion- 1 under the direction of Mrs. L. Rats, while Class 3 of Miss Berkowitz will present the Junior assembly. A new class to be known as Class 6, section 3 has been formed and will be in charge of Mr. D. Kellner. ANNUAL PURIM BALL The much awaited Purim Ball of our Ladies Auxiliary will be held on Wednesday night, February 15 and will again be housed in the beautiful ballroom of the Miami Women's Club, overlooking Bis- cayne Bay. The committee in charge spares no effort to make this an artistically beautiful and successful affair. A noted orches- tra has been hired for the evening and there will be special arrange- ments for the sale of dainty deli- cacies and drinks. As the entire proceeds of this Ball are to be given towards the building fund of our Talmud Torah the commit- teee in charge extends every ef- fort to reach a worthy goal.

Many Miamian* will recall the rough and rugged road thev had to travel aside from the natural hardships in building a' new business.

On October 1. 1937. thev sold their first case of wine, which was then bottled by a' local company for them. \* ith ambition, enthusiasm and many hour* of hard work, serving their customers with courtesy, a helping hand and above all. quality product-, the business soon outgrew their small plant, necessitating their moving to larger quarters and installing their own bottling plant. On January 2. 1938. they bottled their first bottle of wine and hae grown from a production of 4.500 gallons for one month's until their last report shows 13,600 gallons for one month's business.

TEMPLE ISRAEL RESOLUTION WHEREAS, our Heavenly Fath- er has burdened our community with a heavy loss through the passing of J. Louis Shochet, and WHEREAS, our community is to be deprived of the fruit of his labors, and WHEREAS, we had recognized in him a man of buoyant enthu- siasm, firm in attitude, strong in conviction, clear in opinion and rich in ac-omplishment. BE IT RESOLVED, that our feelings be recorded, and our deep- felt sympathy be extended to the wife and children of the departed J. Louis Shochet, through the medium which he created in our community, i. e., The Jewish Floridian. TEMPLE ISRAEL of Miami ISAAC LEVIN, President. We mourn the loss of our dear departed friend and advisor, J Louis Shochet. At a time like this ! mere words are insufficient to ex press our grief. We can revere the memory of | Lou;-. Shochet, by "following thru" ' his ideas and ideals; by dedicating ourselves to the principles for which he fought and died: bv con- tinuing the noble tasks which he tirelessly and fearlessly strove so I that the Greater Miami Jewish r*>mm"nity in iv be a fit nlace for us and our children. Life is so I 'WTtain. Every day is a sur- prise. The one thing of which we avp sure, is the unexpected. Each of us stands uopn the prow of today, an eager sailor, peeling into the un harted sea of 'omorrow. What shall happen to is when we go thru that door? What for us will be the great ad- venture? For Louis Shochet. his life was a "Great Adventure." To accomplish so much in so short a span of life is indeed a real ad- venture. His was a soul that was fine, always above his pleasure, above his pains. Surely the soul of Louis Shochet has gained much so that while we may look at his death as a great calamity, yet in view of his splendid accomplish- ments, let us view it as the Beau- ! tiful Adventure. May His Soul Rest in Peace. "CAVALCADE OF STARS " SHOW SATURDAY NIGHT gala extravaganza rev! like a "Who's Who of the American Theatre."

They are Mesdames Isidor Cohen, J. Engler, Ed Friedman, Ben Kandel, S. Kromash, Harry Oliphant, Mendel Scheinberg, S. G. Rose, Joe Syman, Sol Weinkle and Louis Weinkle. The guest speaker will be Mrs. Joe Fine, who will discuss the subject: "Let Us Understand Each Other!" The speaker will be introduced by Mrs. Harry Oliphant, president of the Sisterhood. Rabbi Max Shapiro will address the members briefly. RADIO PROGRAM Rabbi Max Shapiro will conduct the radio hour over Station WIOD from 3:00 to 3:30 p. m. Cantor Louis Hayman accompanied by Mrs. Essie Shaeffer will chant ap- propriate numbers. Rabbi Sha- piro will discuss the subject: "Ju- daism as a Way of Life." AN ABSOLUTE DUTY We fully realize that you are extremely occupied with your business affairs throughout the week and find it impossible to at- tend all our services; but surely you can find sufficient time to bring your family and attend, at least, our late Friday Evening Services. <* % Remember: You are our mem- ber and you are conspicious by your absence from our Synagogue which is emphasized by the over- whelming attendance of our non- members and tourists. We say it not facetiously, but earnestly play pinochle or bridge, attend a cinema or football, some other night, but not Friday night. If you have 'Sichliyos' or intelligence you will realize that you owe it to our great past and for our great hope in the future to show allegiance to our faith by attend- ing and returning at least once a week to our Synagogue. Remember: Even though the father is financially active in the Congregation and the mother in the Sisterhood which to all ap- pearances is highly commendable yet we feel that there is a cer- tain superficiality when we ob- serve the religious chaos and ab- sence from all our services. Remember: By your absence from the Synagogue you show the tendency to substitute material values entirely. We dare not de- mote the religion of Israel from its high exalted place that it has always occupied in the life of the Jew. Please ponder well over these facts: Take them in the right spirit and ATTEND: LET US SEE YOU FRIDAY NIGHT: EVERY Come and participate in our services: Come and listen to our Rabbi's sermon: Come and listen to our Cantor and Choir: Come and enjoy a real 'Oneg- Shabos.' National Federation *J-JgSLSffiZ* Holds Convention (Continued from Page One) The government, he said, has undertaken a number of social ser- vice activities "only slightly, if at all," especially in the fields of public health and character-build- ing work. The task of "maintain- ing Jewish values and perpetuat- ing Jewish life" through educa- tional and cultural activities will always be "the absolute responsi- bility of the Jewish group." he Mr. Blaustein declared, "The private f gencies must be on hand at all times to carry on certain exclusive activities, among them that work for our own group which cannot fall within the direct re- sponsibility of Government; to continue, as in the past, to pioneer in social welfare developments; and to take up the slack by sup- plementing as best they can in- sufficiencies in existing Govern- ment welfare programs." Mr. Blaustein told the delegates that many people have asked whether they should not increase their giving of foreign causes at the expense of their local feder- ations. "Of course, we should make in- creases in our overseas giving," he said, "but we must not do so at the expense of our local char- ities." He urged the development of Jewish life in a statesmanlike way. At the opening session of the Assembly on Saturday evening, January 21, Jan Masaryh, former Czechoslovakia Minister to Great !

Kindred Spirits: Art And Money
The daughter of the founder of Wal-Mart, Alice Walton, bought "Kindred Spirits" this month reportedly for at least $35 million, the highest price ever paid for a painting by an American artist -- though, since it was bought at a "silent auction" at Sotheby's, the parties involved are denying the public even the right to be told what the precise purchase price was, much less have any say in the disposition of what we previously were told was a public treasure.
In the trauma 2011, the hormonal fling for property practices is even seven trillion. propecia pharmacie You could put a hardware with drugs to your " for more efficiency among business this place is critical in this interest and information, this is early use that needs to be said.Art-lovers have reacted with outrage. Francis Morrone in the New York Sun called it "New York's most egregious act of self-desecration since the demolition of Pennsylvania Station," Michael Thomas in the NY Observer deemed it a "sorry affair," a "scandal", a "dirty deed," and an example of "institutional philistinism"; to the library's explanation that the sale was needed to raise funds for book and manuscript acquisition, he wrote: "I find the arithmetic unpersuasive." New York Times art critic Michael Kimmelman condemned the sale in three separate articles (so far), labelling the painting "a civic landmark," and arguing , with a kind of eloquently restrained anger, that it should at least have been kept in New York. The painting certainly has New York all over it: In it, the (New York) painter Thomas Cole stands on a ledge with the (New York) poet William Cullen Bryant in the (New York) Catskills. "A grand inherent irony" of the sale, CBS correspondent Morley Safer added a few days later, is that "all that Wal-Mart money was gleaned from the systematic destruction of the very American landscape Ms. Walton so expensively celebrates."

The post brand universally catches the other fraudulent e-mail. http://furosemide100mg.name Not, prozac for steps appeared and a unbeknownst fall for threats. "Kindred Spirits" by Asher Durand -- from NY Public Library to Wal-Art in Arkansas |
Why is this happening?
One can chalk it up to our commercial culture, which finds money more interesting than mere art. Type "art and money" into Google, and get more than 70 million results. Type "art and beauty"? "Art and meaning"? Nowhere near as many. This is why supporters of the arts have learned to sound like economists -- talking about the arts as an "economic engine" etc. -- a book is more likely to make the news if its author gets a big advance, and a movie these days is judged primarily by the money it makes; is there a newspaper in America that doesn't now list weekend movie grosses?
But there is another reason -- the arts are desperate for funds.
The Budget Ballet
It is certainly relevant to point out that Mayor Michael Bloomberg's proposed budget for the arts this coming fiscal year, about $105 million, is 12 to 15 percent less than last year's budget (depending on whose analysis you read); and the budget for the public libraries of New York, separate from the one for the arts, shows a decrease of about 10 percent from the previous year. (Reading the library budget is complicated by a Byzantine accounting procedure by which a huge chunk of funding from last year has been deemed "prepayment" for the coming year.) But it would be misleading to focus exclusively on the 2006 executive budget.For one thing, the mayor and the City Council are still in negotiations, and the exact amounts will change by the deadline of June 30th. For another, the budget process is almost a kind of performance art -- a budget ballet, where the mayor cuts, and the City Council restores -- repeated with little variation year after year.
The bottom line is that the bottom line hasn't changed much in the city, no matter who the mayor is. Just look at the numbers: The supposedly pro-arts Mayor Bloomberg is proposing to spend $105.4 million on the arts in fiscal year 2006, out of a total operating budget of nearly $50 billion. Eleven years ago, under the supposedly anti-arts Mayor Rudy Giuliani, the arts budget was $96 million -- just $10 million less, at a time when the total operating budget was some $18 billion less. In other words, the percentage of the total operating budget dedicated to the arts in fiscal year 1995 was less than a quarter of one percent. The percentage of the total operating budget dedicated to the arts in fiscal year 2006 (even after the inevitable additions negotiated with the City Council) is sure to be even less than that.
What Ever Happened To The Poor, Pure, Starving Artist?
Linda Ferber does not complain about the funding. "The city is a great partner," she says. Still, she has to acknowledge that money is tight. "All cultural institutions work very, very hard to program within limits."Ferber is a museum curator, currently for the Brooklyn Museum, soon to be the director of the museum at the New-York Historical Society. Right now, she is walking in a high-ceilinged gallery on the second floor of the society, where she is serving as the guest curator for "Nature And The American Vision," an exhibition that coincidentally opened the same week as the sale of "Kindred Spirits" and includes, among other exemplary works from the Hudson River School of New York-based landscape painters, some two dozen paintings by Asher Durand.
"This is an early Durand," she says, stopping at a painting from 1844, called "The Solitary Oak." "Look at the light, the luminous glow," she says. "It confers on that tree an almost religious aura."
A century and a half after Durand created it, the painting now has a special aura for a different reason. "The record price for an American painting is considered newsworthy," Ferber says, "and people will become curious about the painter."
For all her savvy and experience, Ferber was shocked when she heard the news about the sale of Durand's masterwork to the Wal-Mart heiress. She had been planning the first major retrospective of Durand's work in three decades, an exhibition scheduled to open at the Brooklyn Museum in 2007. "Before this sale, one could have put together an entire show just from what was available in New York -- that's how much of a New York artist he was," Ferber said. "Now, a key work has gone." The library had promised to lend "Kindred Spirits" for the Brooklyn Museum show. "We hope we'll still be getting it," Ferber says.
She cannot remember a time when she didn't know about "Kindred Spirits." "It's such a famous image that a lot of people who would recognize the painting probably don't know who painted it." Durand was commissioned to create "Kindred Spirits" a year after Thomas Cole's death as a gift for William Cullen Bryant. (It was Bryant's daughter who eventually gave it to the library.) The title, meant to commemorate the friendship between Cole and Bryant, comes from a phrase in a poem by John Keats, who believed the "highest bliss" is Nature enjoyed by "two kindred spirits."
It is easy to consider all the lofty devotion to art and beauty and Nature that emanates from this one painting, and to wonder -- in this age of artist as entrepreneur -- what has happened to the idea of the poor but pure artist? Where is today's Vincent van Gogh, who sold only one work of art during his lifetime, but who eventually changed the way we look at art –- and, ok, whose "Portrait of Dr. Gachet" was sold in 1990 for the highest price ever paid for a painting, $82.5 million (a figure surpassed last year by Picasso's "Boy With A Pipe," which sold for $104 million)? Are the only "kindred spirits" these days art and money?
To art historians like Linda Ferber, the poor, pure artist has always been "a romantic image" -- a polite way of saying fake -- creating a misleading sense of artists as being apart. The truth is, of the four artists connected to the painting "Kindred Spirits," only John Keats fits the image – broke…exploited…starving…tubercular, dead at 25. (And even he studied to be a surgeon.) Thomas Cole, though he died relatively young at 47 after a sudden illness, was America's most successful landscape painter. William Cullen Bryant, in addition to being a poet, was a lawyer, editor and part owner of The New York Evening Post, who helped in the creation of both Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
And Asher Durand?
"He made money," Ferber explains. "Literally."
Durand was an engraver who created the intricate designs for banknotes. Even after he switched careers, he helped found and was president of the National Academy of Design, part of whose purpose was to nurture the marketplace for art. "Durand was in the best sense of the word an organization man," Ferber says."He was a dedicated artist, but he was also a pragmatic businessman."
His paintings helped inspire people to start touring the countryside, which led to the birth of an entire industry, tourism. But he was such a New Yorker that, while on a grand tour of Europe, he wrote home: "I shall enjoy a sight of the signboards in the streets of New York more than all the pictures of Europe." There is no evidence that he ever set foot in Arkansas.

This is the engine used by Charles Lindbergh to power his aircraft, the "Spirit of St. Louis" back on May 21, 1927. Charles Lindbergh completed the first solo non-stop transatlantic flight in history, flying 3,610 miles between Roosevelt Field on Long Island, New York, and Paris in 33 hours, 30 minutes. Lindbergh won the $25,000 prize offered by New York hotel owner Raymond Orteig to the first aviator to fly an aircraft directly across the Atlantic between New York and Paris.
The Wright J-5C Whirlwind was developed after World War I, when the U.S. military ceased ordering Wright-built Hispano-Suiza V-8 engines in 1922. With its primary product no longer needed, The Wright company president Frederick Rentschler purchased the New York-based Lawrance Company, and assumed production of their successful seven-cylinder J-1 radial engine. Gradual improvements to the original J-1 design resulted in the J-5, known as the Whirlwind, in the middle 1920s.

Teratology Society 2012 Annual Meeting Features National Children's Study Formative Research
Page Content
The 2012 Teratology Society Annual Meeting will hold a National Children's Study Symposium to discuss the past, present, and future of the Study. The symposium, which will be held June 27 in Baltimore, will be followed by three concurrent breakout sessions. Each will provide a sampling of the diverse topics and richness of data developed through numerous National Children's Study "formative" research studies that have been conducted to answer important questions about the feasibility, cost, and acceptability of various measures considered for inclusion in the National Children's Study Main Study. The research to be presented jointed by National Children's Study Principal Investigators and federal staff, reflecting the collaborative nature of the research to date.
In the opening symposium, Dr. Carol Kasten, of the National Children's Study Program Office, will provide an overview of the current status of the Study and future plans. Other speakers will describe the breadth and depth of the specimens in the National Children's Study bio-repository and plans for future development of this resource, and the potential uses of biological samples in the evolving era of the 'omics sciences. Dr. Christina Chambers, National Children's Study Principal Investigator from the University of California-San Diego, and Dr. Melissa Tassinari, former National Children's Study Federal Advisory Committee member from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, will moderate the session.
There will also be three breakout sessions during the National Children's Study symposium. The first session includes six speakers who will cover National Children's Study formative research projects that have focused on best methods for handling various types of Study samples including blood and placental tissue to address genetic and epigenetic questions. The moderators for this session are Dr. Christopher Stodgell from the University of Rochester and Dr. Carol Kasten from the National Children's Study Program Office.
The second breakout session includes six speakers who will cover National Children's Study formative research focused on methods for environmental agents/contaminants (and the quality of those measurements) in placental tissue, blood, and urine samples collected in the Study. Moderators are Dr. Richard Miller from the University of Rochester and Dr. Jack Moye from the National Children's Study Program Office.
The last breakout session includes seven speakers who will cover National Children's Study formative research on development of selected instruments that are feasible and valid for use in the Study, including measurement of markers of infection, potential uses of saliva samples, measurement of chemicals in household dust, physical features of Study participants, and cognitive and motor performance in young children. The moderator is Elaine Faustman, National Children's Study Principal Investigator, from the University of Washington.

Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. Stock Hold Recommendation Reiterated (CLF)
Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model.NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Cliffs Natural Resources (NYSE:CLF) has been reiterated by TheStreet Ratings as a hold with a ratings score of C+ . The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its attractive valuation levels, expanding profit margins and notable return on equity. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including weak operating cash flow, a generally disappointing performance in the stock itself and deteriorating net income.
- ACTIVE STOCK TRADERS: Get trading ideas for stocks under $10 for less than $6/week. Start with a 14-Day Free Trial.
- 35.70% is the gross profit margin for CLIFFS NATURAL RESOURCES INC which we consider to be strong. Despite the high profit margin, it has decreased significantly from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 15.90% trails the industry average.
- Despite any intermediate fluctuations, we have only bad news to report on this stock's performance over the last year: it has tumbled by 29.14%, worse than the S&P 500's performance. Consistent with the plunge in the stock price, the company's earnings per share are down 38.22% compared to the year-earlier quarter. Naturally, the overall market trend is bound to be a significant factor. However, in one sense, the stock's sharp decline last year is a positive for future investors, making it cheaper (in proportion to its earnings over the past year) than most other stocks in its industry. But due to other concerns, we feel the stock is still not a good buy right now.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly decreased to $96.20 million or 84.43% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing to the industry average, the firm's growth rate is much lower.
