MOST SACRED JEWISH
Event OF THE YEAR

The celebration of the day of atone
ment begins in the synagogue with
the evening service called Vol Nidre
from its opening formula, which re-
fers to vows concerning the individual
and his conscience. With it's strong
ly marked melodies and songs, this
service assumes in the course of time
a very impressive character. Through
out the following day a continuous
series of services is held, which to-
ward the middle of the afternoon is
heightened in impressiveness by a
most solemn commemorative service
for the dead. This is followed by
Nelah or closing service in which the
main ideas of the day are especially
emphasized; repentance conditioning
forgiveness and Gods sealing the de-
cree of man for the ensuing year.
The service ends with solemn invo-
cation of Gods name, the Shema and
the seven-fold exclamation, "The
Lord, He is God" AS signal of the
close of the sacred day, the trumpet
is blown once and the devout wor-
shippers turn homeward from Gods
house with the assurance that in re-
ward for his true and sincere repent
ance the sins Of the past have been
forgiven.

OAR.

When the first star appears in the

modern service and emphasizes also
repentance and personal prayer for
the forgiveness of each individual sin
ming soul.

OLD LOG CABIN
REBUILT At PARK
THIRTY-SEVEN YEAR OLD
STRUCTURE IN EAST PARK,
BUILT BY ORIGINAL OWNER
OF THE LAND, WILL BE RE-
TANNED.

The writer enjoyed an hour in Mi
not's beautiful east park Sunday af-
ternoon. We found scores of people
enjoying the scenery of this natural
beauty spot on a perfect afternoon.
Youngsters were making good use of
the numerous swings and dozens of
people were sitting about on the park
benches, which were bought by the
board early in the season.
John D. Geist, park superintendent,
kept force of eight men busy during
the summer, clearing away all the un-
derbrush and dead trees and the park
is now in first class condition. Cans
for refuse have been placed convent
emily about the park and those who
frequent the place for picnics are ask
ed to put all paper and rubbish into
the receptacles. Mr.. Geist lives in
the park residence, which has been re-
modelled and his services will be re-
tanned during the winter months.
The park contains So acres, most of
which is heavily wooded. A driveway
exactly mile in length has been built
completely around the west portion Of
the park, following the river. This
makes an ideal auto drive.
The old log house, built. 81 years
ago by the original owner of the land,
has been rebuilt in the north end Of
the park. This is one Of the oldest
buildings in the county and is OF his
torical value.
The park board deserves much cred
it for the improvements made.

Duty Of Citizenship

Personal affairs of the woman, quite
as much, If not mt re than those Of
the man, are public affairs. Public
affairs are, after all, so very per-
onal that women will soon wonder
how they dared neglect them so long.
Beth men and women are thus sure
to learn that politics is not OF itself
dirty" or to BEE summed, but is as
vital as life, as personal as home, as
sacred as religion. She or be who
fails to take her or his part in it, in
tellige ntly, independently, conscien-
tiously, is not only failing to do the
duty of patriot, but to do his or
her duty to self or loved ones. Out
