on the belief that the troubles of

The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-03-10

Purim, the merriest festival ot the Jewish religious year, will be ushered in at sundown next We'd nesday evening and continue until sundown Thursday, March 17-the long arm of coincidence putting it on the same day this year as the one which Erin celebrates as St. Patrick's day.
 The Jewish holiday, known in English as The Feast of Ltots," is day which is marked by mas querades, parties and an innocent hilarity, which is even permitted to penetrate into the Synagog during the traditional reading of the Bibli- cal book of Esther, whose story forms the background for the holi- day.
 According to the story, the 14th day of the Hebrew month, Adar, witnessed the triumph of the Jews over a Persian "anti-Semite" of the fourth century before the Christian era named Haman, who was prime minister in the court of King Ahaseurus in Susa. Every mention of his name in the reading of the special scroll containing the Book of Esther, is met by the whir of noiSemakers known as Hamandre- hers, much like those used at New Years eve celebrations.
 Sense of HumOr
 This custom reveals the Jews saving sense. of humor which as much as anything else has permit ted him to overcome trials and trib- ulationS. For the whirling of the Hamandrehers is part of the merry making and carnival spirit of the holiday and is carried on without bitterness or malice toward the prosecutor.
 This is indicated too in the fact that Haman's name Is givxen to special toothsome goodies associated with this holiday-they are known as Hamantaschen, literally Ham ans pockets"
 Another custom of the holiday is the sending of gifts to the poor, both Jew anod Gentle.
 The familiar story of Esther tells how the Persian Embperor Ahasue- rus had chosen beautiful Jewish maiden as his queen, and how her cousin, Mordecai, had won the favor of Ahasuerus. The king is tricked by his prime minister, Haman-who bears a grudge against Mordecai- into placing all Jews in his power.
 Gaiety Predominates
 Haman orders a general massacre to be carried out against the Jews, but Queen Esther upon the counsel of Mordecaid, prepardes a banquet for the king at whcih she reveals herself as Jewess and denounceS the traitorous Haman. The king then orders Maman hung upon the very gibbet he had prepared for Mordecai.
 The gaiety of Purim is associated with the memory of this deliverance from the hands of Haman. The story is .retold each year, not alone in the reading of the Baak of Es- ther, but in plays and in pageants both serious and farcical.

WITHIN EUROPE and in Northern Africa.
The only mention made by Hitler of anything
which might concern the United States was his
recognition of Manchukuo and expressed hope
that Japan is successful in China in establishing
a barrier against the spread Of Communism in
the Far East.
The most significant factor in the sudden up
heaval in Europe is that not one peep has been
heard from Soviet Russia.
THE time has come when Great Britain must
= take one of two alternatives: Either make
concessions to Germany and Italy and sell out to
preserve what she possesses, or go to war. Actu-
ally Britain desires to do neither and therefore,
1t is likely that she will temporize and stall for
time.
The United States thus becomes the key to the
problem as to which course the British cabinet,
and therefore the entire empire, will take.
If the British can impress on Joe Kennedy,
our new Ambassador our State Department, and
the White House that without Americas help
world civilization" will collapse, and Messrs.
Kennedy, the State Department, White House
& Co.. swallow the bait, then Englands choice
will be war.
You will note that ex-AmbaSsador Dodd told
the House committee that the two Fascist powers
