Council assumed a $4,000 Demo-
cratic deficit.
When Council convened Henry C..
Downward. the new president, oc-
cupied a seat beside William p. White,
the retiring president. and several
of the recentiy-elected Councilmen
we're present. President White ex-
pressed his appreciation to the retir-
ing members for their courteous treat
ment during his term, saying that
they had il in then power to make
his work disagreeable, but II had
been a pleasure. They had been kind
and he was deeply indebted to them.
Councilman Slower remarked that
while he did not propose to recite
what Council had accomplished. he
said that for every cent that had been
spent the city had received some tang
ible asset. II the new Council hoped
to attain a record as good as the out
going body. he said, it would have TO
hustle
Colonel Slower said that money had
to be expended to secure benefits and
the expenditures of 100000 for the
new municipal building alone entails
an annual outlay of S36 900 in inter
est. Still. he said. some people claim
they 90 not understand why the city
needs additional money. Council was
justified in expanding this money, he
said. as the new building was urged
by citizens in all walks of life.

man Slower was that of allowing the
Water Department 100000 for water
meters. and other items mentioned
were $1,000 for additional police;
$4,000 for the increased pay Of school
teachers; $4,000 to Hope Farm; $1,000
for volunteer firemen's relief; $4,000
for fuel for the poor: $4,000 for the
new Ninth Ward Library; 81 200 for
the city physician and the purchas-
ing of Fairgrounds in the Second
Third and Tenth wards. In addition
the new swimming pool at Sixteenth
and Walnut streets was something
that had been needed.
Councilman Slower closed his re
marks by thanking President White
and the members of Council for theii
assistance to him as chairman of the
finance committee, saying that while
they might have disagreed at times
they had always come 10 an under
standing and everything was pleas.

Hanukkah-A Festival of Dedication.

Hanukkah-A Festival of Dedication
The Festival of Hanukkah, takes
place on December second (corres
ponding to the Hebrew date, the
twenty-fifth day of Kislev), and lasts
eight days. 1t was established for
historic reasons and celebrates the
victories of the Maccabees over the
.Syrians. Antiochus, King of Syria
in the second century before the Com
mon Era, aspired to dominate the
countries of the East. He pursued
the policy of suppressing all national
distinctions and of foisting upon his
subjects in the various countries
which had come under his control
the religion and civilization Of Syria
This, though Greek in origin, was de
based in spirit and practice. The
Jews, proud of rtheir traditions and
devoted to their pieties and moralit
les, resented the intrusion and the
violence of the Syrian conquerors
who were respecters neither of the
conscience nor of the lives of the
Jews Under the leadership of Judas
Maccabeus, they made good their 10y
atty to their faith and homes and met
the Syrians on the battlefield. Theii
defense was valiant and successful
despite the fact that they were few
and grapplef with a powerful enemy
After signal victories, they achieved
their emancipation, and re-affirmed
the pious practices of their fathers
and, true to the spirit of Judaism
they proceeded at once to the re
dedication of their Temple.
A legend says that, at the re-dedi
cation of the Temple, cruise Of oil
filled every lamp SO that the great
edifice was resplendent with light. In
alluson to this, Jews signalize the
Festival by lights in their homes, in
creasing them progressively. etery
evening of the festival week, culmi1
mating with eight lights -en the
eighth. 1t is the symbolic expression
of the truth that self-respect, moral
stamina and loyalty spread and en-
thuse everybody. Each can be an
example and influence for the manly
faith
This revolution brought about also
the establishment of the dynasty OF
the Maccabees, whose achievements
during the course of more than a cen
fury were epoch making in the his
tory OF the Jews.
The Hanukkah Festival is one of
the fayorites in the Jewish Calendar.
Besides its high significance for men
and women. it is also a Children's
Holiday and the religious schools
celebrate 1t with elaborate festivities
and great heartiness. In the homes
songs accompany the kindling of the
lights and the ritual OF the synagog. is
enhanced by the recital of selected
Psalms The social amenities of the
week are happy and cheerful, and,
in accordance, with the genial spirit
OF the festival comprise entertain
ment and beneyolences in the home
and community
