Camp Hill Civic Club
Gets Better Car Service

The Valley Railways Company has
given the residents of Camp Hill an
improvement in car service by running
car into the Square at S.45 a. m,
thus continuing the 15-minutc service
by one car. Heretofore there has been
no car between $50 and 8 o'clock,
making a congestion when the busi-
nessmen and school children came
aboard.
The attention of the Camp Hill Civic
Club was called to the matter and the
president. Mrs. James Millhouse, and
a committee of the club presented the
request for an extra car at the instance
of the families most affected. The
traction company cheerfully granted
the favor and urges that this car be
used in preference to the others by the
Camp Hill residents who come to the
city early.
This car will also run on Saturday
for the especial convenience of mar
keters, who also are urged to use it.

biN come 10 ne Il tIllNTeH > FESTIVAL
The historical background of the
celebration is found in the fact that
in the year 165 =. G. Judas Maccabeus,
one of the few martial heroes in tew-
ish history. Icdedicated to the service
of the one God the Temple at Jeru-
salem after it's pollution by Antiochus
Epiphanes. who had set lin in place of
Gods altar a shrine to his hcathcn
god. Just three years after this pol
luton. on the twenty-lfth day of the
month of Kislev, the Temple was re-
claimed and rededicated to the service
of God.
Around the festival cluster many
beautiful legends, which have helped
to shape the character of the celebra-
ton. one such legend is to the effect
that when the Temple was redadicatcd
only. single cruise of oil was found
unpolluted. but through the miracu-
lous Intervention of God this oil
proved to be sufficient for burning for
eight successive nights and until other
oil fit for the service might be pre-
pared. For this reason to this day
Jews light candles in their homes in
celebration of Chanukkah for eight
successive nights. one on the first
night, two on the second and so on
There is a theory that even before
the historical event which Chanukkah
celebrates the feast had been observed
by Jews as the beginning of the winter
solstice, and that its origin is common
with that of the Christian Christmas
and the Roman Saturnalia. which oc-
cur at about the same season. and
which are likewise celebrated by the
lighting of lights and the interchange
OF gifts.
Among the Jews Chanukkah is n time
for rejoicing not only on the part OF
the children, but as we'll on the part
OF the poor, who are always literally
remembered.
