HEBREW FEAST
 TO OPEN SOON
Passover to Be Observed
 Next MOnday-Seder Service Planned

The ideal of religious freedom will be strengthened in the hearts of all Jews on Monday evening, April 6, when they begin their annual ob- servance of Passover, first festival of emancipation in the history of civilization. Commemorating the Exodus of the Israelites from the bondage of Egypt, Passover will be observed for week among Reform Jews and for eight days among Or- thodox Jews.
 Passover begins with the tradiI tional Seder service which in Re- form homes is held on the first night and in Orthodox homes on the first and second nights. The father con- ducts the service and reads the story of Israels successful struggle to escape the tyranny of Egypt from a special prayerbook called the "Haggadah." The company joins in the responsive reading and in sing ing the folk-songs which accom- pany the service.
 The Seder service is rich with ancient customs. Four cups of wine are symbolic of Gods four promises of redemption made to Israel as re- corded in Exodus VI: to bring the people out of bondage, to deliver them from servitude, to redeem them from all dependence in Egypt. and to select them as "the people of the Lord."' A fifth cup of wine, called the Cup of Elijah, remains in the center of the table as a symbol of the final redemption which tra- dition says will be announced by the prophet and teacher, Elijah. The front door of the home is opened during the service that this long awaited guest may find warm well come.
 | Unleavened bread and other sym- bols of the holiday are placed on the table; parsley, as token of gra- titude to God for the produce of the earth; horseradish, signifying the embittered life of the Israelites in Egypt; chopped fruit, denoting the clay with which the Israelites work ed in Egypt; lamb bone, emblem of the Paschal lamb; and roasted egg, symbolic of the burnt-offering brought in the days of the Temple in Jerusalem. Happiness and joy are apparent throughout the service. Passover was first observed as an agricultural festival celebrating the freeing of the earth in the spring harvest. With the passing years it has come to have spiritual mean ing, that of human freedom as taught in the story of the Israelites' freedom from slavery.
 As told in the first fifteen chap. ters of the Book of Exodus, the 1s- raelites were enslaved in Egypt un- der the power of the Pharaohs. God heard their cries of distress and commissioned Moses to make them free. With rare foresight and in- domitable courage he led them out of the land of oppression, through the desert, and to the threshold of the Promised Land.
 The Passover reminds the Jews of their deliverance and survival through expressions and 1t inspires them to be of god courage, to keep alive the flame of Israel's hope and idealism.

once beautiful city have resolved that Chicago shall rise again."
 It did. Before the ashes were cool, the wagons rumbled through the streets with building supplies, and new walls rose while other tottering and blackened ones were still being pulled down.
 Within week, banks had raked their safes from the ashes and re- sumed payment. Chicago even used it's debris for improvement, by dumping it into the lagoon that separated the railroad tracks from Lake Front Park, thus paving the way for the magnificent lake front development of today.
 Within two years, Chicago had rebuilt and recovered to the point where it was holding the Interstate Industrial Exposition.
 Galveston BlOtted Out
 Perhaps the most sweeping of all municipal disasters was the Gal- veston flood and hurricane of 1900. In loss of life this distaster was the most terrible America has suffered.
 Six thousand people were swept to death when the Gulf of Mexico literally piled up over Galveston and rushed 100 miles inland in a tidal wave. It was accompanied by terrific hurricane which lev- eled almost all the buildings that withstood the tidal rush.
 Galveston stood on sand spit connected with the mainland by bridges. The sea wall was low, and there was no resistance and no m- clination to heed warnings when disaster struck.
 The city was practically plotted out of existence by the mountain of water which suddenly engulfed 1t. The first task was to bury the dead. But Galveston started imme- diately to rebuild on a larger,
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-03-30

finer scale, and with facilities aimed at preventing any such dis asters in the future.
 A new sea wall was raised, 1-2 feet higher than the high water mark of the storm of 1900, or ' 1-2 feet above previous high water mark. A massive causeway re- placed the flimsy bridges to the mainland, all of which had been swept away. This was in turn re- built in 1915, when its approaches were washed out in storm. The whole grade of the city was raised from one to IS feet.
 Benefit Out of Disaster
 Galveston also got permanent benefits from the form of city gov- ernment devised to handle the situation 8 commission form known as the Galveston Plan, which has had great influence on munich pal government throughout the United States.
 The modern city of Galveston is a clean, splendid one, believed safe from any future catastrophe of this kind.
 Baltimore dates here well-known civic consciousness from the great fire of 1904 which swept the entire business district for 30 hours. The loss of $125, 100000 was terrific for that era. But rebuilding was com plete within three years, and there after Baltimore led in development of high-pressure water and other fire-fighting facilities.
 Greater diversification of indus try and better city government were dire's legacy to Baltimore.
