GERMAN LEADERS
VENTURESOME

Members of Adolf Hitler's cab
met are all venturesome men of
dynamic action, which may ex-
plain in part the craving for ac-
ton always evident among pres
ent German leaders. Hermann
Goerlng was war ace and COM
manded the famous Richthofen
squadron. Rudolf Hess was a
war veteran, who was an aviator
in a Bavarian regiment. Served
a prison term with Hitler. Will
helm Frick, police administrator,
took part in Hitler's beer cellar
putsch. Wilhelm Keitel was a
captain of artillery at outbreak
OF World War, is interested in
mechanical side of war. Walther
Funk surprised the world with
the ability with which he filled
the place of Hjalmar Schacht, re-
tired German financial genius.
Is an unconventional economist.
Hans Heinrich hammers, who
knows Polish problem, was law
yer, judge and war veteran. Lit
tie wonder German leaders were
all for war.

STRANGE WAR

1t is a very strange battle in
Europe The French and Eng
lish, 1t would appear, have made
no really concerted attempts to
smash the Siegfried line, especial
ly when their military advantage
with Poland fighting on the other
side of Germany is evident. They
have been besieging the German
people with pamphlets, instead,
perhaps as a greater strategy.
Mussolini has not entered the
war, presumably because Italy,
both on land and at sea, cannot
be defended against France while
she could be of service in giving
supplies to Germany as a neu-
trail. There are rumors Canada
will do the same. Germany
keeps emphasizing that England
only thinks she is at war with
Germany. There are rumors of
Ipecae after Poland is captured,
though Chamberlain of England
says no. War times are strange
times.

FISH CATCHES
ARE REPORTED
PERTAINS TO NoN-FOOD AS
WELL AS EDIBLE
FISH
tspecia, tn The Citizen,

TALLAHASSEE, Sept. ga
total of 178,OO0,O0O pounds of
non-food fish, used in a large va
riety of ways, was caught by
commercial fishermen in Florida
waters during the last year, Su-
pervisor of Conservation r. L.
Bowling reported today. Most of
this group were sharks and men
baden.
The total was in addition to
more than 1O0,000,000 pounds of
edible fish caught during the
same period, according to con-
servation department reports.
"The same producing belt of
salt waters which almost sur
round Florida contributed this
industrial wealth.. he explained,
"and the catching and selling of
non-edible fish is regulated by
conservation law the same as for
food fish taken for the nations
markets.
Shark fisheries on both coasts
utilize these fish in manufacture
ing shark liver oil, leather from
the shark skins, novelties from
the eyes and teeth, and food
delicacy from the fins, most of
which is exported to China.
The menhaden fish is taken in
nets in large quantities on both
coasts, and oils are extracted for
commerce, as well as the fer
tilizer elements that come from
the flesh after it is pressed and
processed into meal.
Large fleets of boats and sew
eral hundred persons are en-
ployed regularly in fishing for
sharks and menhaden, and the
industry thrives as one of the
chief resources of the states vast

WILL OBSERVE
ROSH HASHONO
SERVICES TO BE CONDUCTED
AT LOCAL SYNA-
GoGUE

Celebration of Rosh Hashono
the Jewish New Year. will begin
on the eve of the first day of the
year, $500, on Wednesday, Sep
TENDER Is. The holy day falls
on the first day of Tishri, the
seventh month in the Jewish cal
endar.
Services in connection with
this event will be held at the
local Jewish Synagogue.
New Year and Atonement
Day, the holy day which occurs
ten days later, differ from most
Jewish festivals in that they were
not the outgrowth of old nature
festivals or based upon historic
events. In ancient times, there
was but one holiday in the fall,
the hardest festival. After the
exile in Babylonia, this holiday
was divided into three distinct
holidays but by the time the Sec
ond Temple in Jerusalem was
destroyed, the New Year festival
became marked with the same
idealism and ceremony that are
prevalent today.
While Liberal Jews celebrate
one day of Rosh Hashono accord
ing to the original plan, Orthodox
and Conservative Jews celebrate
two days. Observation of a two
day festival began when it was
not always possible to inform
residents in countries outside of
Palestine of the date of the holi-
day The two-day celebration
was, therefore, introduced as a
safeguard.
More serious in mood than
other holidays in the Jewish cal
endar the days at the beginning
of the year stress the moral re-
sponsibiIity of the individual
They are days for meditation and
preparation for a new year OF
nobler life.
The Shofar Tam's horn is
blown at the synagogue services
One explanation of this custom
is that its sound will call the
people to God. Special prayers
are recited on Rosh Hashono.
Though primarily day cele-
brated in the synagogue. the New
Year is also time for family
feasts. Something sweet, such as
honey, is usually served in order
to signify the hope that the New
Year will be filled with blessing
Cards OF good wishes and social
calls emphasize the keynote Of
the festival--that good year be
granted to all.

FOOD PRICES STAY UP

Although President Roosevelt
said that he would stop sky
rccketing of American food prices
at present, it remains certain
that food will rise to some ex-
tent. There has been no general
advance in clothing and shoe
prices throughout the country.
Retail food price boosts through
out the country are somewhat as
follows: Flour up So barrel,
sugar up $3.50 hundred pounds,
beef up SC pound, pork up 7-8
cents, butter 2 cents, lard SC,
cooking oil 35c per gallon, chick
ems &c more per pound. In. many
cases boarding and great de-
mand by housewives are blamed
for shortages and high prices.
