LOCAL RAbB|S PLANNING
FOR JEWISH NEW YEAR
Holiday Season to Begin Shutdown of
September 81 With Feast of
Rosh Hashanah.

Shutdown on Wednesday, September
27, will begin the observation of the
Jewish high holidays with the feast Of
dox Jews will observe New Year two
days, but the reform celebration will
last but one day. The New Year will
be followed by ten days of penitence,
which will end on the Day of Atone
ment, October T.
Plans for the local observance Of this
ceremony have not been fully COM
pleted, but are well under way. Rabbi
Abram Simon of the Eighth Street
Temple. expects to announce the full
program for his congregation later this
week. and Rabbi Benjamin L. Grossman
of the Adath Israel Congregation. also
will announce full particulars later.
DR.. Grossman already has mapped out
tentative program. He will conduct
three services each day, a morning
afternoon and evening service.
There will be a special choir under
the direction of DR.. A. Shefferman, and
DR.. Crossman will deliver a. sermon
based upon the three-fold message of
New Year day.
"On the New Year all the Inhabitants
Of the earth pass before Him as sheer
before a shepherd" In these words the
ancient Jewish law book, the Mishna
refers to the significance of this day. I,
Is day Of judgment, when the sins and
the merits of all men are weighed by
the Divine Judge. The Talmud tells
that in this annual New Year judgmen,
scene three books lie open before the
Most High. In one book. the Book OF
Life. the names of the perfectly right
eous. the sinless, are Inscribed; the sec
ond book. the Book Of Death. has re-
corded in it the names of the utterly
wicked, and the third book is for the
ordinary middle type" of men. in
whose behalf judgment is suspended
through the ten days Of penitence, until
the day Of atonement, when the deci-
sion is finally made and recorded.
The services for the day are especial
ly solemn. Prayers in prose and po-
etry. dwelling upon the theme of God
judgment of man, are recited and sung
The rams horn. the "shofar," sum-
moning men to prayer and repentance,
Is sounded in all synagogs. At the
close of the service the worshipers
greet each other with the words May
you be written down for a good year"

Existing Conditions Cited.

AS the milk situation now stands, a
producer who has a low meteorological
percentage, according to the standards
of the health inspection office, and who
turns out high-grade. clearly milk
from an especially sanitary dairy, is
often paid no more for his milk than a
producer turning out a milk that is not
as high grade in the tests. In other
words, he is usually paid 81 cents per
quart. On the other hand. the middle
man in Washington, realizing the
value OF such high-grade milk. refuses
TO sell IL to the householder at the
standard price Of 8 cents quart, but
in many cases charges the householder
10 or II cents a quart, pointing out that
IL is special" milk.
What the milk producers hope to
bring out at tomorrow's meeting is
why, IL the product of the high grade
dairy is special" when IL is furnished
to the consumer in Washington, II is
not special when it leaves the high
grade dairy, and why. If such special
milk brings a higher price from the
consumer. IL does not bring a higher
price to the producer.
