JEWISH NEW YEAR 5562
IS BEING CELEBRATED

The Jewish people throughout the
world began at shutdown last evening
the religious celebration of the Jew
ish New Year. 1t is n feast of mark
ed Significance i'm their religious cal
endar and is observed by all the con
gregations throughout the world.
Even those whose temples may hap
pen to be without pastors for the
rest of the year make it ii point that
for this occasion the pulpit shall be
filed and the members of the cungre-
CATION brought together.
main feature of the celebration
will be the festivities which CORE
CT Thanksgiving.
The year that is ushered in is 1868.
1t is the new year of the Old Tesla
ment and in the Hebrew tongue is
known as Rosh Hoshona. The day is
Il month later this year than usual.
This is due to the fact that the year
1902 is, according to the Jewish cal
endar, Il leap year. As the Jews use
lunar time instead of solar time, like
the christians, they add one month TO
their year instead of one day.
In America. where the members of
the Jewish denomination are divided
into the orthodox and the reformed
congregations, there are some minor
differences in the manner of celebra-
ting the occasion. In all of them the
ancient ceremony of blowing the
shofar, or rams horn, is still used. I'm
the orthodox congregations. which
cling more tenaciously to the old
time ritual, one of the customs is for
the men TO appear in the temples
wearing shrouds to typify the signifi
canoe of the day as reminder of
death. This part of the ritual is not
now used i'm the reformed temples.
The celebration extends over Il peri
Cd of 10 days, ending with the feast
of Hom Kippur, or day of atonement.

of course there are more than 10 men
in training. The crew that will make
the race will not be picked out prob
ably till Sunday, when the condition
of the candidates will be taken into
consideration. Whichever side wins
the match will probably find an OPP
portunity for a race with divisions
from other towns.
Revival In Rowing
The local reserves are heading "a
movement for revival of interest in
rowing. which has been in allegiance
for so long. The jackies are bending
their energies to secure the erection
of boat house and the proceeds of
the bi-weekly dances this winter are
to be devoted to that purpose. When
the dredging of the slough that is
now being done by the Davis COM
pany under a government contract is
completed that body of water will
form an ideal place for boating. As
Il member of the Naval Reserves re-
marked last evening, there is now no
place i'm Rock Island where row
boat can regularly be rented. This
serves TO show how far interest in II
healthful and enjoyable sport has de-
clined.
