readily. So when a letter was read
at a Trustees’ meeting from Da-
Costa, Salvador, and Suasso of
fering to raise money in the Jew
ish community, accept
ed gratefully. The Jews collected
a tidy sum but imposed a condi
tion. They merely requested that
some of their own coreligionists
be permitted to sail with their in
digent debtors to colonize Geor
gia. What audacity! Did they
think Jews were better than
Catholics? The by-laws specifi
'cally excluded Bapists. Barring
out the Jews was simply over
looked. Outraged, the Trustees
demanded back the commission

to raise funds. Try and get it was
the Jewish reply. In February,
1733, General Oglethorpe landed
his cargo of 116 settlers near the
mouth of the Savannah River.
Jewish Intuition
Several months later, a second
ship docked at Savannah harbor.
On board were about 40 Jewish
settlers, without permission from
the all powerful Board. What
could have induced the Jewish
committee to charter a boat,
knowing full well the hostility of
the Trustees? Why did the pas
sengers chance a long, perilous
ocean voyage without proper au
thorization? Perchance they
banked on Gen. Olgethorpe’s
idealism? Or did they simply play
a hunch?
The Governor's Dilemma
Governor Oglethorpe was dis
turbed, and displeased. His first
impluse was to send them all
back. It is unpleasant to quarrel
with a Board, whose sentiments
he knew. To allow them to land
would be disobeying orders. But
his better nature asserted itself.
Perhaps his common sense point
ed to the absurdity of barring
immigrants from a vacant land
badly in need of colonists. He
THE SOUTHERN JEWISH WEEKLY
knew the Spanish enemies in
Florida looked with jaundiced
eyes upon an English colony set
tling on land they claimed. Sur
rounded by Indian savages was
the tiny Savannah colony, whose
very existence was now threaten
ed by a fatal epidemic.
HU Decision
A fatal epidemic! And the col
ony without a single doctor! Need
we look further for the motive
that swayed Gov. Oglethorpe
when he heard that the King of
Portugal’s physician was on the
ship? He decided to let all Jewish
passengers land then ask of Lon
don to confirm his act. Evidently
it took little time to ascertain the
value of his Jewish colonists.
Long before hearing from the
Board, he had already granted to
some of them lands in Savannah.
The instructions from London
were unfavorable. The trustees
did not propose “to make a Jew’s
colony of Georgia.” The Governor
ignored the orders and replied
that the Jews were by no means
a detriment to the settlement. He
also thanked publicly Dr. Samuel
Nunez for saving the plague
stricken victims of all denomina
tions and stamping out the epi
demic. For without the refugee
from Libson there might not have
been enough left to carry on
Colonization in Georgia.

group to aid in maintaining law
and order.
The most recent blast brought
a $1,000.00 offer from the Anti-
Defamation League for informa
tion leading to the arrests and
convictions of the dynamiters. A
JWV post offered an additional
$300.00 for data.
An estimated 44 window panes
at the Miami Hebrew School and
Congregation were shattered by
the blast while another explosion
near an unoccupied Negro apart
ment project set off a near-riot
quelled only by police assur
ances that a probe would be
undertaken. Two previous blasts
aimed at the Negro project
caused damages estimated at
$20,000.00.

“My deafness used to make me fed so
conspicuous! I was afraid to go places
—people stared at me, no one accepted
me as a normal person. Now I’ve for
gotten I’m deaf, and nobody else notices
it either —thanks to the wonderful new
Sonotone. I hear through a tiny jeweled
pin with no outride microphone cords,
and the wonder of the new Sonotone is
that it gives an entirely new type of
hearing, with unmuffled reception and
no clothes-rub noise. Profit by my ex
perience—mail the coupon now.”
