Their religion imposes no restraints
on them Therefore their motto Is.
Let us be merry, If only for once in
the year"
No household Is too poor to provide
a modest feast in honor of this his
toric event. though no roast beef
or mince-pie appears on its board.
There is a succession OF dances and
parties, either at home or at the clubs
and parties troop off gayly q enjoy
the delights Of the theatre or the
motion pictures
But 1t is naturally the children who
most enjoy this season of merry max
ing. They may have no Christmas
tree abaze with colored lights, and
bowed with seductive presents, and
no Santa Claus to fill their stockings
in the silence of the night.
But they have their parties, their
dances, games, and romps, into which
they enter with a zest which any
child might well envy. And they
have their presents, too. which they
treasure with a pride as great as
the JOY in their possession.
During the festival period special
children's services are held in most
of the synagogues and temples, those
at the reformed churches being most
elaborate. The orthodox Jews make

PLAY THREE GAMES
ON OPENING NIGHT
Trio OF tiiuh School Teams to Repre-
sent Bennington at Library
Hall Friday Evening.

There will be three basket ball
games for one admission at Library
hall on Friday night The opening
game Mt 1890 will be played by North
Bennington High school and the To-
cal high schools second team. The
high school girls will then play the
Arlington Junior high girls. The big
game of the evening Will then be
PLAYED by Burr and Burton Seminary
and b. Ii. S. first team. This game
will be Of unusual interest because 1t
is the first game Of this seasons SER
les for the Mcclure cup.
The local high school won the ser
les last year. If II can win again this
season, ii will obtain permanent pos.
sessio nof this trophy. Burr and Bur
ton will have a much stronger team
this year. The high school. without
the services of Sumner and Cronin
will without doubt be considerably
weaker at this time. As the season
progresses, Walker, Levin. Evans and
Lister will develop into good material
for balancing the three veterans that
are left Fauley can be depended up

position whenever 1t comes down the
floor. Capt. Pelsue in addition to be-
ing a good shot, Is one OF the fastest
floor men ever seen on a local court.
Ransom. the one man team, was &C
credited the best center in the State
last year. His record OF over 400
points for last season IL one that will
furnish the boys target to shoot at
for many seasons to come.
The girls team, is the product OF
four years of hard work. Nearly all
are seniors who have been playing to
gether throughout their high school
course. Their team work is excellent
and shooting OF Cecile Jackson and
Edith Barrett is remarkable. IL has
been remarked that girls basket ball
Is too slow and uninteresting. These
girls make baskets from all angles Of
the court and they make them often
enough to hold the interest Of the
spectators. The accuracy of their
shots provides the thrill that some
spectators find lacking in the ordinary
game of girls basket ball
The second team is made up OF boys
that are being developed for the first
team at some later date. The game
with North Bennington's first team
will be an evenly matched contest.

New York, Dec. 14-While the
Christian world is celebrating Christ's
birth with rejoicing. the Jewish PEG.
pie will be enjoying Il season OF
merrymaking under a different name.
The period Of Christmas this year
falls in the early part of the Jewish
Joyous season.
For many weeks, beginning with
the festival Of the Atonement, the
Jews have been passing through what
they call their earnest season." a
time OF prayer and fasting and relig-
ious observances. At sunset this
evening they emerge into n period Of
rejoicing with the opening of the
llannukah, or festival Of the dedica-
ton Of the Temple.
The Ilannukah is movable feast,
which is sometimes over before the
Christmas turkey Is delivered. More
often than not however, it comedies
with and covers the Christian period
OF Yuletide rejoicing And, like all
Jewish festivals, IL has romantic
origin.
When. long centuries ago, the
Maccabees finally scattered the hosts

Syria, 1t became necessary to purify
and rededicate the temple. which had
been dehled by the heather soldiers.
The Continual Lamp" needed oil

found was n small cruise containing
no more than would suffice for one

only, but for eight days and nights,
until fresh supply could be obtain

YOU CAN'T KEEP
WOMEN ON FARM
EITHER, PROVEN

"Women are leaving the farms in
larger numbers than men because
there is less work for them there"
said Mrs. Mintie Bowe, head Of the
United States employment service in
Fargo, in commenting on recent re-
port from the census bureau in WASH
ington.
The statement of the census bureau
was based on 1920 statistics, which
showed a sex ratio Of farm popula-
tion in January, 1920 as 1901 males
to 100 females. The ratio of the en-
tire population was lO4 males to 100
females.
"Whether or not the attractions Of
the city are drawing women away
from the rural districts it is fact
that there is much less work Cor
women than for men on the farms"
Mrs. Bowe says. "A farmer is like
J ly to employ from Is to 80 men DUR
+, ing the summer season, but only two
women to do the cooking. The revo-
luton in industry has cut down the
amount of labor which women do on:
the farmers by transferring such act
ivities as knitting and spinning to the
factories. In recent years, farm
women have acquired the use of all
modern conveniences and laborsaving
devices to save more time.
"The women on the farm today are
likely to be the owners wife and .
hired girl. They work Just as long
and as hard as ever. Naturally with
the modern changes they can dis
pense with help that would formerly
have been necessary"
