Friday, June 17, 1955 Panama City, Florida PL/UNTALK (Continued from Page 1) “ ‘Jim’ mama cried out. " 'Jim?' papa chimed in. 'That doesn't sound Jewish to me. Jim!' “Then I told them: Jim isn’t Jewish but he is a fine boy just the same. A Phi Beta Kappa and all that. The Y.M.C.A. had award ed him recognition as one who stood so high in character in col lege. He was everything to be ex pected of a young man. "Mama cried, papa cried . . . 'A goy, they said, 'in our family a goy!' Papa said that if I ever mar ried this Jim ... that's the way he spoke of him, 'this Jim'—he would sit shiva for me, seven days of mourning as for a dead daughter. Yes, he said, I would be like a daughter dying, if I married Jim. “You can well understand how horribly desolated I am by all this, but I keep on loving Jim. To me he doesn’t at all look like a mem ber of another faith. His fine char acter means to me that he stands with the Jews for the upright life. "Mother keeps on being kind to me but father scarcely speaks to me: I'm like a stranger in his house. He is like a man in deep mourning. “I don’t want to hurt my par ents. but, certainly, I can’t hurt Jim either. I can never turn Jim either. I can never turn Jim away from me.

"What do you say, Mr. Segal? If you have any feeling for my case, please speak to my parents in your column. I know you as a liberal mind." This is Segal’s answer: My dear girl—For social reasons I haven’t approved of intermarriage: That is to say, I think of the conflicts that may occur in such a marriage. I wonder whether it is good that people of different traditions should undertake to establish the happiness of a home. (On the other hand, I know of people of the same Jewish tradition who haven’t managed to establish a happy home either.) But, then, it seems to me, that parents should courageously face the facts of life when a child comes to them to announce an engagement for intermarriage. They should know that the mar riage will lake place, regardless. Will it help any if the parents re ject their child, to set her apart from them and the Jewish com munity? Will the daughter or son be more Jewish if she—or he—is rejected from the Jewish fold and from the Jewish home? Or, rather, will not she or he become less Jewish if treated as outcasts not wanted among us? So, thinking Jewishly in this way, I guess I can embrace this girl weeping on my shoulder. What I have written in reply to her, represents the thinking of a THE SOUTHERN JEWISH WEEKLY “World’s Most Beautiful Beaches” lot of faithful Jews of our commu nity who, at first resentful, have come finally to accept intermar riage in their families. They made the best of it. Yet, as columnist I have learned that even a columnist shouldn't be 100 proud of his opinions. So I am transferring the girl's tears to the shoulders of all the readers. Some of them may have other answers, and, herewith, they are invited to write them. BARON DE HIRSCH MEYER GIVES $211,000 TO U.
