JEWS TOM KIPPUR
 OPENS NEXT WEEK
Day of AtOnement to Be Observed By Fasting
 Next Wednesday

Jews in this community will join their co-religionists all over the globe in observing Yom Kippur, "The Day of Atonement", next We'd nesday (September IS, l93D Known as the "Sabboth of Sabbaths" Yom Kippur is the most sacred day of the Jewish religious calendar and Is observed with fasting, prayer, and repentance.
 Tom Kippur will begin Tuesday evening with the singing of the an- cient melody "Kol Nidre" and will conclude the Ten Days of Penitencc which began last week with the ob- servance of the Jewish New Year. Pious Jews will spend the entire day in the synagogue, neither eating, nor drinking, but devoting 1t entirely to meditation and prayer.
 The Day of Atonement is distin- guished from most other holidays in that it is associated with no histor- ical event. The day is purely an at tempt at self-regeneration and atonement with God. Although its roots reach far back into primitive times and may have some relation to an ancient equinoctial festival, the day received its present charac- ter in the Bible period.
 Before the beginning of the com mon era. when the Temple in Jeru- salem still stood, the high purposes of the day were expressed in rites of animal sacrifice, the common form of worship in the ancient world. Since the year 70, however. the central theme of the ritual has been Penitence, Prayer and Right eous Action.
 Remnants of the. temple ritual arc still found in the present-day wor- ship for Yom Kippur. The beautiful concluding service for the day is known as "Ne'ilah," the closing of the gates. This undoubtedly refers to the closing of the Temple gates although it has now taken on the added symbolical meaning of the closing of the gate of tears and sup plication and the opening of the gate of Gods mercy. Tn this is re- yealed the all-embracing message Of the day: that Gods forgiveness and blessing are bestowed on all who manifest a sincere desire to lead a good life.

APPROVE VOTING DISTRICTS PLAN
Non.P artisan Committee Recommends B Instead
 of Present 20

The redistricting plan worked out by the non-partisan committee appointed by Mayor Frank Hayes may be presented to the board of aldermen rext Monday night. The committee adjourned yesterday af- ternoon after approving plan calling for the establishment of 32 voting districts instead of. the present 20. The committees plan in detail will be submitted to the mayor and turned over by him to the al- dermanic board.
 Each of the 32 districts set-up by the plan will contain about 1,500 voters, the only exception being a district comprising Bouley Manor and the surrounding section. This district has only 800 voters, but the committee feels that the section Is growing rapidly and that allowance must be made.
 The plan will not be put into operation for this election. the com mittee having decided soon after It's organization that such procedure would be impossible, since 1t would mean a complete revision of the city voting lists.
 The new districts are set up inside the five city wards. A subcommittee arranged the new districts in each of the wards.

While extensive changes in the
measure providing for unemploy'

pensions and insurance will be sub
mitted to Congress soon by the
Social Security Board, no drastic
revision of the act is planned.
The Administration has rejected
proposals for a change in the pay
roll taxes under which a huge re
serve fund eventually totaling the
staggering sum of $4,000, ,000, ,00C
will be created.
Despite demands for a boost in

Said Chairman A. j. Altmeyer
of the board:
"We will not recommend any
substantive changes. We think
our job is to shape the admins

from States which are being
matched up to SIS a month by the
Federal Government. Aid also is
