RABBI'S MESSAGE

The resurgence of ultra-
nationalism in West Germany, with
the election of members of the
National Democratic party to seats
in the parliaments of the states
of Hesse and Bavaria, has become
a source of concern to the World
Jewish Community. The recent
meeting of the governing council
of the World Jewish Congress
urged the Bonn government to "re—
sist the bid for power by extre-
mist right-wing forces". Other
Jewish organizations have voiced
similar views.

All too sadly, history has
taught us that when men go to
extremes in their support of any
cause, they forget the rights of
those who differ or disagree with
them. This was obvious under the
Nazi regime. We see this happen
in gangland slayings. We read
about it in the Book of Esther.

Yet, as ancient as this lesson
is, men have still not learned it.
We still see apparently civilized
people espouse causes whose logi-
cal consequence can only be the
extermination of those who dissent
from the official party line -
whether this be in Germany, Soviet
Russia or the United States.

Thus the possible final outcome
of these elections is frightening
to contemplate. We have tread
this path many times before. Our
aroused concern is certainly most
ligitimate.

RABBI'S MESSAGE

A recent article in the paper pointed out that within a few short
years half of the population in this country will be under the age
of 25 and that they will take over the reins of government, the op—
eration of business and industry, the running of our country, and
that perhaps those who reach the ripe age of MO will be ready for

retirement.

Such a possibility poses some interesting thoughts. When one
looks around at our nation and its situation today, there are many
areas in which the adult generation has not done too well. We have
cluttered up the landscape with industrial waste, and urban sprawl.
We have not yet learned how to get along with nations that disagree
with us. We have built a society plagued with social problems of all

sorts.

On the other hand, youth is idealistic and open to new ideas.
They are certain that they can do better than we, and do not hesitate
to criticize the many shortcomings of the adult world. Whether they

could, of course, remains to be seen.

But whatever the outcome in the future for the youth of today and
tomorrow, it still remains encouraging to remember that despite
everything, there is little that they can do to prevent themselves
from growing old and joining the ranks of the aged - those over #0.
The passing of the years has remarkable effects upon people.

THE DARKNESS

There are almost a half billion
more who are illiteratetoday than
there were ten years ago. If you are
among the confident ones who know
that there is a bight and happy fu—
ture for the human race, dwell for a

I moment on this simple statistic.

Think of the disease and malnutrition
it implies. Think of the poverty and
the political instability to which it
consigns men and nations. Think of
revolution and of demagogues who
whip up the masses. Curb your op-
timism.

We are fighting the wrong enemy.
While we waste our wealth in a war of
containment and while the Soviets
waste their wealth on policies of
ambition, the forces of over-popula-
tion and ignorance march on unhinder-
ed and unencumbered. Armor and arms
are not our worst enemy. They are
simply the symptoms of global stu-
pidity. Each plane is a school that
might have been built. Each tank
represents two teachers who were not
trained. Each missile is a million
books which will never be read.

The world can no longer afford ignor-
ance. Society is too complicated for
the illiterate, yet the number of the
ignorant and illiterate multiplies
every day and the amount of wealth
invested in education lags further
and further behind the birthrate and
the arms race. Just as Mr. Johnson
must cut back the war on poverty for
a war which can only impoverish the
poor of Southeast Asia, so in England
and France, in Egypt and Syria, in
Russia and China and Latin America
and Africa, governments sacrifice
social reform and educational devel-
opment for military retinue and the
skills of destruction.

It must be said and said baldly;
our world will not long survive if it
continues to fall behind in the race
to educate and to humanize the human
race. Ignorant and hungry men are
understandably violent and impatient
and in their rage they destroy not
only those who feed off their igno-
rance but the machines and the civil-
ization which has failed them.

RABFI'S MESSAGE

Enclosed in this issue of the Bulletin is an off—print of an
editorial from the July, 1966 issue of House and Home. The editor—
ial deals with the subject of freedom of choice in housing, the
subject of this Social Action Committee's open Vorum this coming

Tuescay evening.

The editorial points out a number of valid economic rersons for
removing the restrictions on housing which we now find placed upon

minority groups in our community.

I hope you will read it.

In addition, I hope that you will avail yourself of the oppor—
tunity to become better informed on this subject by attending the
Social Action meeting this Tuesday at 8:00 P.M.

The opening up of housing to all those who can afford to rent or
purchase will do much toward ameliorating a number of the social
problems of Lexington - the school desegregation controversy, the
need for extra police in certain areas of the city, and the shortage
of low income housing, to name but three.

As the headline of the editorial states, ”integrated housing is
as sure as death and taxes — but hardly in the same unpleasant cat—
egory.” The question which faces us as a community is — when shal"
we begin so that we can Start to face some of the more serious

problems of life in Lexington?

I look forward to seeing YOU on Tuesday evening.
