Minor Mishaps AlsoBlarnedOn Today's Storm
Children Welcome OppOr- tunity for COasting,
 Skiing Sports

Snow which started before day. break fell steadily in Waterbury to- day, SloWing-up bus and trolley schedules, making automobile traf. fic hazardous, and making sidewalks treachously slippery.
 Trolleys and busses ran behind schedules in most cases, the dan- gerous going making slow travel im- perative ana with many persons who would ordinarily have taken their cars to and from work chooS- ing public conveyances today. Buss- eS on every route in the city were equipped with chains, with the snow being packed down by traffic shortly after 1t fell.
 Accident Report
 Police reported only one accident, but there were numerous cases of minor accidents caused by skidding which were not reported. At 6:15 this morning car operated by AL fred Pedro of 168 Mill street, went out of control and skidded into a car operated by Daniel Arbrustro, of Cotton Hollow, Naugatuck. The crash took place at Pearl Lake road and South Main street. Both cars were damaged.
 Though the snowfall almost ceased once or twice during the morning, the flakes fell steadily through most of the morning hours The weatherman predicts cloudy and cold weather tonight, and con- tinued cold tomorrow. j"
 Winter Sports
 The snow gave promise that the first weekend skiing of the year in this state would be possible tomor- row and Sunday.
 Residents of the Washington Hill section who are dependent daily upon the service of the Sylvan ave- nue bus, were more than inconyen- fenced by the snow, which this morning, seemed not to have reached any disturbing proportions. Espe- cially complaining were those who depend on the bus due in the cen- ter at 7:30, for several of these were left stranded at the bus stop when tho usual vehicle was unable to pick them due to the already capa- city crowd. All were then forced to wait for the next bus which de- posted them in the center at 7:55 and late for work.

BANQUET AND DANCE GIVEN In
HONOR OF miss KEY WEST
WAS VERY ENJOYABLE AFFAIR

The banquet and grand dance
given in honor of miss Key West
of 1887" at the weekend was a
big success with over one hundred
persons attending both affairs.
Ramonin's restaurant, where the
banquet took place, was beauti-
fully decorated with red rock
roses which made the place a gor-
geous scene.
Miss Dorothy Bethancourt,
queen of the beauties of this city,
was escorted to the banquet by
Bienvenido Perez, vice president
of Club Marti. The guest of hon.
or was received by Ralph Bethan-
court, president, who introduced
her to the audience. A tremend-
Gus applause followed the intro
duction, and Miss Key Vest
was seated in the queens chair
alongside that of the president of
the club and Sebastian Cabrera. !.
Short speeches in behalf OF
Club Marti and the young lady
chosen as Queen of 1887 of this
city were made by Sebastian Ca
brera, John Gardner, Julio Perez
and c. N. Recio.
Among others making use of the
word were: Henry Esquinaldo

JEWISH HOLIDAY
TOBEOBSERVED
HERE WEDNESDAY
YOM KIPPUR, DAY OF ATONE
MENT BEGINS TOMORROW
EVENING; CHURCH SERV-
ICES TO BE HELD

Jews in this community will
join their co-religionists all over
the globe in observing Yom Kip
pur, "The Day of Atonement, ="
Wednesday, September Is. Known
as the Sabbath of Sabbaths" Yom
Kippur is the most sacred day of
the Jewish religious calendar and
is observed with fasting, prayer,
and repentance. Services will be
conducted at the local synagogue
by Rev. Joseph Male.
Yom Kippur will begin Tues
day evening with the singing of
the ancient melody "Kol Nidre"
and will conclude the Ten Days
of Penitence which began last
week with the observance of the
Jewish New Year. Pious Jews will
spend the entire day in the syna-
gogue, neither eating, nor drink
ing, but devoting it entirely to
meditation and prayer.
The Day of Atonement is dis
tinguished from most other holt
days in that it is associated with
no historical event. The day is
purely an attempt at self re-
generation and at-one-ment with
God. Although it's roots reach far
back into primitive times and may
have some relation to an ancient
equinocatial festival, the day re-
ceived its present character in
the Bible period.
Before the beginning of the
common era, when the Temple in
Jerusalem still stood, the high
purposes of the day were ex-
pressed in rites of animal sacri-
flee, the common form of worship
in the ancient world. Since the
year 20, however, the central
theme of the ritual has been Peni-
tence, Prayer, and Righteous Ac-
ton.
Remnants of the temple ritual
are still found in the present-day
worship for Yom Kippur. The
beautiful concluding service fol-
the day is known as "Ne'ilah, u
''the closing of the gates" This
undoubtedly refers to the closing
of the Temple gates although ii
has now taken on the added SYM
bolical meaning of the closing of
the gate of tears and supplication
and the opening of the gate of
Gods mercy. In this is revealed
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.
