STOPS CRACKS IN CONCRETE
Application of Floor Dressing Paint
Will Keep Surface
'tV4frss,,- unscarred. -,.s.-.ar--,.

p. ....,-- .-- D. ~"" III ~ -.sess.-l4
One Of the chief causes of crack
ing in concrete surfaces is the pres
ence of moisture in the surrounding
atmosphere, says a large manufac-
turer. In the warm months this
moisture has no detrimental effect,
but in winter it collects in the tiny
pores Of the concrete and freezes.
With its concurrent expansion this
exerts a pressure on the surrounding
concrete and causes tiny cracks to
appear. These cracks in turn fill
with moisture and the chipping .ac-
ton continues until spring comes
with its higher temperature. This
chipping and cracking of the sur
face of the concrete detracts both
from the appearance and strength of
the concrete.
A sure way to prevent this de-
structive action is to coat the con-
crete surface with a floor dressing
paint. This preserves the texture
and individuality of the concrete and
prevents moisture penetrating the
surface. If new concrete floors are
covered with two coats of this paint
and recoated at intervals of about
six months, the concrete surface
will remain unsecured and without
cracks

"YOm Kippur," The Day of Atone
men, the most solemn holy day in
the Jewish calendar. 1t is ordained
in the Bible Nevit. xxiii-2O to be OBJ
served on the tenth day of the sew
enth month, Tishri, which COMEDIES
this year with Monday, September 16.
1t is day of rest, of fasting, of pray
er, of penitence and spiritual quick
ening. Its principal and immediate
purpose is to arouse the conscious
ness of sin and to stimulate the de-
sire for atonement and for reconcilia-
ton with God.
The Hebrew word for repentance is
"teshubah," which means literally
return" The concept of sin is that
the sinner has strayed from the
straight path of righteousness, has
transgressed its boundaries, and his
repentance is not complete until he
has returned from his transgression
to the true way of life. Confession
contrition and reconciliation with
man and God are the elements of a
proper repentance which is no mere
spasmodic or momentary emotion, but
a genuine return to the road of duty
unselhshness and loyalty.
The duty of fasting is derived from
the command, we shall afflict your
selves" Ibid S2) This phase is ex-
planned by Rabbinical teaching to
mean the total abstinence from all
kinds OF food and drink and from
the qualification of bodily desires. The
reasoning underlying this is that the
principal source of sin is the graft
fioation of physical appetites, a re
tarn" therefore to the right way must
include an honest attempt to suppress
such appetites ana encourage self
control Fasting IS an attempt Of
this kind, hence a duty to fulfill on
Atonement Day.

among the Jewish people. and Is prae-
