Friday, December 28, 1956 ... ' mm Wk, I enjoyed every moment of the story . . . The selling of this tale is in ancient Israel when Solomon was king, and his stables at Megiddo housed the most beautiful horses in the Middle East . . . This was also a lime of turmoil when the chief lieutenant, Jeroboam, plot ted to overthrow Solomon with the aid of the Egyptian, King Shistak . . . How Jeroboam’s treachery was disclosed to the King, and how Is rael was saved from her enemies by Dan, a young soldier of the King’s charioteers, is the story of “King Solomon’s Horses” . . . However, the central figure of the tale is Bala, the horse, whose emergence as a foal lost in the woods changes the whole course of Dan’s life, and finally leads him to the arms of charming R. L.

By Ethel "Teddy" Moscovitz (Miami Beach) The incongruity of it all! . . . We are staying at the Suez Motel with Egyptian motifs in wallpaper, carpets and tableware . . . Bui the man agement is well aware of Jewish-Egyp tian feelings at this time and above the roof flies high the American flag ... All is therefore good . . . In harmony with the setting is my choice of a book: “King Solomon’s Horses” by Nora Benjamin Kubie, pub lished by Harper Brothers (New York) . . . This book is listed for “ten year olds and up” ... I am slightly “up” . . . but Dafne ... Our family has eagerly awaited the release of this book, for we met its author several years ago in Israel ... In "King Solomon's Horses" Mrs. Kubie's love of the land is revealed along with, her familiarity of its landscape and its history ... Her understanding and love of horses is also displayed in this latest writing venture of hers . . An amateur archaeologist, she lets her imagination take full rein in describing the ancient places of Megiddo and recently exca vated Hazor . .. This book is a full expression of its author, and, consequently, her best to reach the market . . . Her former offering for children in -1 clud6: “Joel,” “King Solomon’s Navy,” and “The First Book of Israel” . . . The latter she wrote and illustrated . . . "King Solomon's Horses" sells for $2.75 . . . A ***** We reached Miami the day of an Israel Bond rally . . . Abba Eban was .scheduled to appear here ... He was busy in the Uni ted Nations and was not able to arrive here at the appointed mo ment ... Not long ago Golda Meir had been announced as a B’nai B’rith Bond Rally speaker . . .

Box 3447 5011 BUFFALO AVENUE JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA Volt Electric Service FREE ESTIMATES Industrial & Residential TROUBLE CALLS Day or Night EL 5-4279 424 E. 16th STREET THE SOUTHERN JEWISH WEEKLY public is becoming a trifle annoy ed .. . Why schedule people who are so busy with the political scene that they cannot keep pub lically announced engagements? If I may venture an opinion— it is not quite cricket one way or the other . . . The public loses trust, and the speaker is strained to make public appearances while keeping close to the political scene . . . Israel has many fine ambassa dors which it has not yet used for American forums ... She has tal ented and charming actresses and performers who can speak with skill and conviction . . . Surely, a Golda Meir would not be called away to speak to a Bond Rally that cannot promise more than $20,000 . . . Israel should guard the strength of its states men . . . There are other voices which could be raised . . . And incidentally, isn't it time that the booming speeches of Abba rtillel Silver be heard in the land? . . . American Jewry needs to be awakened from within once again . . . ***** Speaking of awakening: we were discussing the loose ends at which modern youth seems to find itself ... I remarked that young people who have been brought up with hobbies never become de linquent . . . Many times, too, these pastimes develop into ex pressions which lead to eventual livelihood and financial reward. Having "King Solomon's Horses" with me, I mentioned Nora Ben jamip Kubie . . . Then someone took us to see James Melton's "Autorama" at Hypoluxo (eight miles south of Palm Beach on U. S. No. 1) ... With his wonder ful display of automobiles from the very conception of the ve hicles and their manufacture, Mel lon has an "American Room" . . . This room has a mural dipiding the history of our country from its discovery by Columbus to the building of our great cities follow ing the earthquake in San Fran cisco . . . The entire time we spent at the Autorama was a delight to all of us ... To our ten-year-old son the shiny, elaborate cars of other eras was a revelation ... . The American Room taught him American history as he had never seen it depicted before ... To us old timers there was the same keen interest . . . ***** What a panorama this trip to Miami Beach has provided us . . . Down here there is always some thing you never "did" before . . .
