city it has been calculated that 1o"tD adhere u
the ancient custom Of abstainins from Ordinary
bread for the Passover season, which lasts "eeh'
I'm which time the consumption OF unleaVened oleau
averages ten pounds to the person. or '."V'vp
pounds for the season. A barrel of -four yields l'o
pounds of unleavened bread and if the consumption
calculations are correct it requires about 4l'""
barrels of -four to produce the bread suoSt'u'e
for the Jews of New York. The Passover pread
bakers also sell large quantities TO restaurants 10
small towns where there are no bakeries ana 70
Jewish communities In China. Japan. CHba and the
Philippines and in order TO meet the demands
work many months in advance of the selling sea-
