John Kasper Seems To Be Losing Sex Appeal

GREENSBORO, N. C. (NJP)—John Kasper, antiSemitic supporter of segregation who was recently released from jail, seems to be losing his sex appeal. For three days in a row crowds have walked away from him. The last of the three days was really an eye opener for the young, but experienced hateler. He was addressing a Ku Klux Klan audience of 150. When he attacked evangelist Billy Graham as a “tool of New York Communist Jews,” the audience dwindled to a handful. The rebuff was the third of the day for the former New Jerseyite who was jeered and heckled by a crowd at Charlotte, N. C., and drowned out by workmen using power saws at Monroe, N. C.

Your Worn© Want to know what your name means? Address your questions to Mr. Peariroth, National Jewish POST and OPINION, Box 1633, Indianapolis 6, Indiana. .By N. PEARLROTH DEAR MR. PEARLROTH: I would like to know the origin of my father’s name Tsolik. He was born in Tymkowicze near Sluck, state of Minsk, Russia. Thank you.—MRS. BERNICE NAIMAN, Los Angeles 16, Calif. TSOLIK, more correctly Ciolek is a calf. In Polish it is usually applied to a clumsy, heavy footed laborer. But as a Jewish family' name it signifies that the original ancestor’s name was Joseph. The biblical Joseph is likened to a young bull and this led to the family names Ochs, Schorr and Ciolek. It is a family name of distinction, evidence that your ancestor was a man of learning who drew his family name from the Holy Scriptures. ifr ★ '& DEAR MR. PEARLROTH: Please tell me the derivation of my surname. I understand my grandfather came from a rural town in Galicia. Some members of the family spell the name Haken, while others spell it Hacken.—ROBERT HACKEN, Silver Spring, Md. HACKEN (hook) is an antiquated German term applied to a cooper, an iron-founder, a turner, a rope maker or a cloth shearer. All these trades used a hook-like implement in their work and it is from this implement that your family name is derived. Many Jewish family names are traceable to a tool of trade rather than the trade itself. Such names are Nadel (needle) for a tailor, Ahl (awl) for a shoemaker, etc. It is my guess that your ancestor was a cooper by trade, an unusually interesting occupation.
