JEWISH NEW YEARS DAY
 COMES ON SEPTEMBER 12

Ai'aeng Or thodox Jews who celebrate two days, the following day, Tuesday IS also observed.
 Rosh Hashanah derives it's significance from the fact that it is but the iptroduc tion to tN Day of Atonement whick fol- lows ten days later. Before one can re- alize the need of atonement It is neces- sary that he become conscious of his shortcomings for so long as we imag= inc ourselves perfect t may never oc- eur to us that we need. physician. 50 long as we do not admit our smfulness, we shall hardly feel the need of being forgiven. Hence, TO make the atonemeHt possible. we must have Rosh Hashanah which is also designated as Tom Hadin-- the Day of Judgment-the day whereon we weigh ourselves in the scale of justice and, perforcf find ourselves wanting. for there is no righteous man upon earth that doeth good always and sin meth not"
 The New Yorks Day in the passing of the centuries has thus come to embody the great religious ideas of divine jus tice and human responsibility. As :he beginning of the Jewish religious year il emphasizes the religious uniquencss oi the Jewish people. the servant of the One God, the priest people of humanity.

Information for plainfeld.

In reply to the article which appear ed in Fridays Bulletin from the Plain field baseball moguls, I'll attempt to enlighten them further on some of the necessary requirements surrounding the promotion of the national pastimc.
 The home club should attend to the publishing of box scores since the home scorer is regarded as the official one.
 Plainfield should therefore not be sur pr:sed that rIothing appeared in the paper from AshlaTti concerning the lat ter's defeat of last Sunday
 The Ashland crowd were not surprised that Plainfield did not attend to this matter figuring that they were not elat- ed at the result of the game all things considered
 My personal reason for not comment ing on the game through the columns of The Bulletin is that my versions of the game would not look well in print
 Ashland will go through with it's agreement and the 18th of September will,' I hope, settle all disputes as to which is the better club. MANAGER CHASE
