A Nichob' Worth of
Comment On This and That
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS

Washington, June 23 U.R)
A few years ago, pug-nosed
Italian kid walked into the Jew
ish community
center here,
went up to Ed
die Rosenblum
and said:
"I want to
learn how to
box, mister."
Eddie, ex
ecutive direct
or of the cen
ter, bars no
body from
membership In
the center with
its steam baths,
weight lifts,
basketball and handball courts,
swimming pools everything
athletic.
So he invited the young man
In and introduced him to big Jim
McNamara, a touh, Irish-Catholic
who has been athletic di
rector of the Jewish center for
34 years.
The kids around the place re
fer to Jim as "Father Ginsberg,"
with proper reverence.
Jim took the youngster in
hand, put him over the jumps.
In two years, the Jewish center
had a National AAU boxing
champ in the fold an immi
grant Italian kid who couldn't
lick his way out of a wet paper
sack until he met "Father Gins
berg." Religion No Difference
That's the way Eddie Rosen
blum operates says Eddie, a
tubby little Jewish man who
graduated from a Catholic col
lege. 'What's the difference what
church a kid goes to so long as
we can make him healthy, build
his character and, more import
ant, keep him out of trouble and
off the streets? Our swimming
pools and gymnasiums are open
to all comers. Sometimes we
have a rough time making ex
penses, but we somehow always
make them."
As of today Eddie's up to his
ars helping to direct the 62nd
National AAU track and field
meet at nearby College Park,
Md., today and tomorrow. In
deed, Eddie was the moving
force In bringing the big track
jamboree here as part of Wash
ington's sesquicentennial cele
bration. War I Veteran
A veteran of World War I, he
knew what It was to sit on his
thumbs with nothing to do no
place to go for fun. So during
the last war Eddie saw to it that
GIs passing through town had a
good time. The Jewish commun
ity center opened its doors to all
comers and entertained more
than 1,000,000 servicemen. The
recreation rooms were free; so
were refreshments every after
noon. Entertainment was provid
ed with no questions asked about
race, creed, etc.
Eddie was born and raised in
Bayonne, N. J., at a time when
that city of 85,000 was a mere
village. He learned democracy
there as a kid.
Every Naiioalliy
"We organized what we called
the Tearaway Athletic club," he
said. "We had every nationality,
which was fine, but no club
house, which wasn't fine. We
used to meet on street corners."
The boys formed a baseball
team, made up of Polish, Russian,
Irish, German and British kids.
The manager and pitcher was
Charles C. Jones, now a member
of the New Jersey state legisla
ture. "I was the only Jew," Eddie
said. "Our team was a melting

Pear, Apple Spray Advised by Agent
Homeowners who have a fam
ily orchard of pear and apple
trees in their backyards should
apply the second cover spray for
codling moth now, C. B. Cordy,
county extension agent for hor
ticulture, said today.
DDT should be used at the
rate of two pounds to 100 gal
lons of spray. Where small spray
ers are used, three ounces of
DDT should be applied to each
grown pear and apple tree. The
amount of water used is not as
important as the total amount of
DDT, Cordy said. If three ounces
of DDT is mixed in three to five
gallons of water, it should give
sufficient spray solution for one
tree.
Formula Given
For orchardists, 10 pounds of
50 per cent DDT per acre is
suggested for use in speed spray
ers. Pear orchards, where some
infestation was present last year
or where a source of contamina
tion present, should be sprayed

with one and a half pounds of
50 per cent DDT per 100 gallons
or seven pounds per acre with a
speed sprayer, according to
Cordy. The next cover on pears
will not come until the last week
in July.

grating to this area so control
is timely if needed, Cordy advised.
