FOURTEEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday. April 13. 195S News About Books From the Library By MISS HELEN WEBSTER Medford Librarian With tears and rejoicing, with song and praise, the Jews through many centuries have celebrated Passover, the festival of fredeom which commemorates their deliverance from Egypt. Since Passover falls this spring between April 16 and 23, it seems a good time to survey the history, the tradition, the prob lems, and the faith of the Jews through books available in your Medford Public Library. Stimulating Book An extraordinarily stimulat ing book both to the mind and the spirit and to Jews and Gen tiles alike is Abraham Joshua Heschel's philosophy of Judaism, "Good in Search of Man." It is beautifully written, and sur prisingly clear even to the lay reader, and shot through with religious insights. Desider Holisher presents a clear and beautiful picture of the role the synagogue plays in the life of its congregation and of the community in his recent book, "The Synagogue and Its People." Over 200 fine photo graphs are combined with a " brief, lucid text to make this book of value not only to Jews but to those of other faiths who are sincerely interested in under standing the culture of their fellowmen. Paris of Whole Out of his deep conviction that Christendom and Jewry are two parts of a single whole, each es rential to the other, Sholem speaks plainly to his Christian : brethren in "One Destiny," a profoundly moving and eloquent book. An important book for all who want a thorough under standing of Bible days and what came after is "Understanding the Talmud," by Ernest Tratt ner. "Everyman's Talmud," by Dr. A. Cohen, is a condensation in one book of the rich store house of Jewish tradition con tained in the 30 volumes of the Talmud. Human Men Hebrew prophets were the most human of men, preachers and reformers dealing with cur rent abuses and preaching for their contemporaries. Brooke Peters Church presents six of the great writing prophets who pro foundly influenced the course of civilization against the social and political framework of his times, in "The Private Lives of the Prophets." The history of the Jewish peo ple is related in several volumes in the library's collection: among them Lewis Browne's "Stranger Than Fiction," "A History of the Jewish People," by A. Marx and Max Margolis, and "The Re birth and Destiny of Isreal," by David Ben Gurion. Rufus Learsi, in "The Jews in America," sheds light on all problems of Ameri can Jewry past and present. Fear of Subsidy Prompied Refusal To Back Fund Bid Regular Road Work Behind Schedule Recent repairs to winter flood damage on county roads have . put regular road jobs behind . schedule, County Engineer Paul . B. Rynning said today. Work which was expected to be complete during the winter, such as heavy rock work, has been delayed to make emergen cy repairs throughout the coun ty, he explained. Two major projects now un derway by crews are those on Mule hill in the Applegate, where heavy rock work has be gun, and on Rocky Hill on the Butte Falls highway, where re building of a two-mile section is in process. Rynning said the roads depart ment ordinarily makes some permanent improvements dur ing the early part of, the year, but that flood damage and a shortage of funds has delayed such work this vear. Disaster Car Will Be Downtown Saturday The Jackson County Disaster Car will be parked at the corner of Main st. and Central ave. Sat urday to call attention to a dance to be given Thursday. April 19. to raise funds for equipping the car. Tickets to the dance, to be held at the Rogue Valley Ball room, will be on sale at the car tomorrow. The car was pur chased, renovated and is being equipped by the firefighters group here. The dance is being sponsored by the Disabled American Vet erans, with the ballroom being donated, as well as the music, which will be by the Melody Wranglers playing under the auspices of the Musicians' union. Portland OJ.R? The president of the Oregon Medical Society said here today that it was fear of government subsidy for pri vate physicians that prompted the society's council to refuse support for University of Ore gon Medical School s application for Hill-Burton funds. Dr. E. G. Shuinard said the society feared some of the fed eral money asked for remodel-j ing of the school's outpatient clinic mgiht go for offices for medical school faculty members where private patients would be served. Bickering Made Public Bickering between the medi cal society and the State Board of Higher Education was first made Dublic last year at the state Legislature -where admis sion policies for the new Uni versity hospital were considered. It erupted again when the medi cal society's council refused to endorse a University application for $57,000 in Hill-Burton funds to remodel a school building on the Portland campus. Dr. John Richards, chancellor of the State Board of Higher Education, replied that there were no plans for faculty offices in the remodeling project. He has asked for an attorney gen eral's opinion on the power of the medical society to act ad versely on state applications for federal aid. Asked for Hearing He has also asked the State Board of Health for a hearing since it is board policy to con sider an application for Hill Burton funds incomplete if it is lacking medical society endorsement. Dr. David W. E. Baird, presi dent of the medical school, said the outpatient clinic plans m; eluded added laboratory space which were considered part of original plans for the new teach ing hospital. Without federal aid, the laboratory facilities could not be built and the hospi tal would be handicapped, he said.

St. Helens Workers Overcome by Fumes St. Helens i(U.R) Nine men were partially overcome by deadly chlorine gas fumes late yesterday at the Crown Zeller bach pulp plant here. , Dewey Kearsley, 29, and Bob Spears, 38, were hospitalized while seven others were treated by doctors and the fire depart ment's inhalator crew. Kearsley and Spears were said to be in fair condition. A company spokesman said a new pipeline for the chlorine gas had been installed earlier in the day. When the chlorine was turned on at 5:30 p.m. the fumes flooded the plant, apparently from an open valve. Kearsley and Spears were working on the top floor of the five-story building. They stayed on the roof for more than an hour. The other seven were hit bv the fumes before they could don gas masks. Patient Feelings Said Important in TB Cases Portland flJ.R) Doctors should pay more attention to the feelings of tuberculosis patients rather than stressing x-rays and clinical examinations, says Dr. Dean Brooks, superintendent of Oregon state hospital at Salem. Dr. Brooks told the 36th an nual meeting of the Multnomah County Tuberculosis and Health association here yesterday that this would stop patients from leaving TB hospitals against medical advice. "Too often," he said, "we think in terms of preventing the loss of life rather than restoring it. All those dealing with tuber culosis must realize that the man is more important than the disease." .
