SOME CHANGES COMING
TO YOU

Not all of the worlds improve
ments are to be found in the cut
of airships or the streamline of au-
tos. The humble fly is disappearing
at rate that deserves attention in
the changing proportion of species.
Take look at some Of the places
along a village street and then re-
call what it was 10 or IL years ago
and note the difference.
Twelve years ago a restaurant was
a place where there were odors,
screen doors and clouds of flies out
side, with generous allotment in
side. A meat market was a place
where meat was hung up on hooks
along the wall and covered with mos
quito bar part of the time. The
walls and ceiling were black with
flies, and grew blacker as the cool
weather Of autumn came on. The
Blackfoot post office was on Main
street, and people wanting mail went
in and got out again as soon as pos
sible. People dubbed it the Fly
trap, and fly trap it was.
II the conditions of those days pre-
vailed at any restaurant or meat
market or at the post office it would
not be tolerated for a day. People
would not buy at a market where
flies could get to the meat. They
would not stand for a public office
that swarmed with flies as the post
office once did.
There are certain things that pro-
duce flies and those things are being
managed to shut off production.
Cities and towns are unconsciously
reducing fly production blu using au-
toes instead of horses. In cities
where the horse has entirely disap-
peared, it has been found that the
streets can be kept clean with one
fifth of the expense. Horse barns
however, clean are filthy compared
with garages, and gasoline matches
no flies.
Since horses are not used, vast
acreage that was used to raise feed
for horses is devoted to other crops.
Horseshoeing establishments, always
odorous and unkept. have disappear
ed. Burying grounds or incinerators
for dead horses are no longer need
ed, and some statistician has an
nounced that the metal used in shoe
ing horses in the United States each
year would make 40, 900 automobiles.
The leather used in harnesses costs
$130,000,000, and if diverted to
making shoes for people it would
cover so much of the leather short
age that the price of shoes would be-
come normal again.
Ten or twenty years ago it was
no uncommon thing to see man in
the road beating his horses. Today
no man of ordinary sensibility would
allow another to beat his team. Some
marked changes are creeping in all
about us, and some of these disagree
able things are forever disappearing.

JEWISH new YEAR
BEGINS SUDAY EVE
: According to Hebrew Calendar It
Will Then Be 6678

The Jewish people will on Sunday
evening, September Is, enter their
houses of worship, to usher in their
Rosh HaShanah, or New Year, 5678,
which marks the beginning of the
cycle OF sacred observances held dur
ing the month of Tishri, the seventh
month OF the Jewish calendar. While
every New Moon. in ancient times,
was greeted by the sounds of the
Shofar (trumpet) the seventh month
or New Moon, coming after six
months of work in the field, was wei
, coined with religious exercises as a
month OF rest and recreation by the
agricultural Inhabitants Of Palestine.
plumbers X. 49,
The Jewish New Yeur is known by
different names, and each expresses
something Of It's spiritual significance.
Number xxx. I, designates 1t as
1.-THE Day Of Blowing the Trumpet
(Shofar.") New Year occurs in the
autumn. when the falling leaf and
fading flower turn mans mind to
serious reflection, and sounds the ad-
nonitory message: Awake, and pom
der your deeds; remember your crea-
tor return to Him in penitence. Be
not Of those who reach out after
shadowe, and waste years seeking
vain things which cannot profit or
deliver. Look we'll to your souls and
consider your acts: foresake each of
you his evil ways and thoughts, and
return to God, that He may have
mercy upon you.'
Rosh Hashanah IS also known as
The Day of Memorial. The Day of
Judgment, Of determination. Tradi
tion tells us that on this Day the
Ruler Of Life weighs the doings of
man. and a1lots to each his destiny,
as It were for the coming year, for
veal or woe. for life or death. Shall
a trumpet be blown in the city, and
the people not tremb1e?" (Amos, III,
81 For the Lord is our Judge; the
Lord is our law-giver; the Lord is
our king; He will save u.s.
It's message to man is threefold:
"a to contemplate all experiences of
the year--joyful and sorrowful-in
the light OF discipline, by the ruler
Of human destiny, and to renew our
trust in Him; (2) to scrutinize our
conduct, conscious that God, the Just
Judge Of the world, searches the
heart and to consecrate the new year
to a nobler life; (3) and to look upon
the life story of Israel as of ones
self In the light Of Gods revelations
on Sinai. Moriah and Zion.
Special music and prayers mark the
observance Of the Feast which
though solemn is nevertheless replete
with the spirit Of joy and optimism.
While OrrE.odox Jewry devotes two
days Reform Judaism observes only
