JEWISH HOLIDAY
TO BE OBSERVED
FEAST OF PASSOVER BEGINS
EARLY ON TUESDAY MORN
ING, MARCH 80

The Feast of Passover viii be
observed generally by the Jewish
colony in Key West, beginning
early Tuesday morning, March 80,
with regular services to be con-
Quoted at the Synagogue here in
observance OF the event.
When Southern United States is
shipping Its first berries north,
Palestine is garnering its spring
barley crop. 1t was 50 in ancient
times. And the harvest in those
days, as it has remained in all SIM
pie agricultural regions, was an
occasion Of solemnity and of JOY.
It was signa.ized by an offering to
the Lord and by joyous celebra-
ton. IL was also at this season
that the ancient Israelites won
their freedom from Egyptian slav-
cry and began their trek to the
holy land. Ever since then, at
the time of the full moon Of the
first spring month. Nissan, the jew
ish people have celebrated Pass.
over, the worlds first festival Of
freedom, In memory of the pas
chal offering Of the Exodus and Of
the Feast Of Unleavened Bread.
These spring celebrations, like the
Christian Easter. sometimes arc
unreasonable in our climate, but
they are quite timely in the
warmer orient in which they orig
mated.
This year Passover comes early,
on March 30th. Services in the
synagogue and q family service,
called the Seder, mark its opening
The Seder is held on the eve Of
the feast and is one of the happy
family events Of the year. It FREE
quently brings the scattered mem-
hers Of q household together from
great distances. The service at
the family tab.e consists largely
in recount.ng the glad old story
of the winning of freedom
through Gods providence. Its
symbols. unleavened bread lmat-
zos), the lamb bone, bitter herbs
and various other things, recall
the incidents of the first redemp-
ton Of Israel and Of its subsequent
history with all its happiness and
all les bitterness. Old as the feast
Is. 1t Is still modern ia its appre-
citation Of freedom and its ex-
preston Of gratitude to God for
His guiding providence and for
the plenty with which we are
blessed.

MeTigue, in a no-decision contest,
only to have Slattery pop from
nowhere to beat Striking in six
round bout at Buffalo.
Since then both have gained
their majority and may engage in
bouts Of more than six rounds, to
which they were limited In New
York state while minors. To-
nights squabble is set for 10, but
there are many who believe that
the battle win end long before the
limit is reached. Each man has
his following.
Slattery was a sensation until
Dave Shade knocked him out in
three rounds last summer. After
outpointing Make Rosenbloom, he
again tackled the headliners and
was knocked out by Paul Berlen-
bach IN September.

draw with Berlenbach in 1924 but
