Local Jewry Prepares for Joyous Holiday On
 March 5

The story of Esther will bring new cE Parsa. the Feast of Lots. which hope to Jews throughout the world this year falls on March s.
 The legend of the Persian girl who at the risk of her life ap- proaeMed a kfng to aequaint him watM the ptsght of her people. has a message for this day of renewed persecution of the Jews.
 According to the story, which is read from a scroll in the synagog on PelrAna. a Persian despot Ahasue- rus. was under the influence of a eoNrtier. named Hauan. Because Hamam had e difference with an in divS60al Jew. he sought to persuade his master to destroy all the Jewish people. Secretly Raman was plot tsng to seshze the throne for him. self.
 Mor&eeai. a pSous Jew, tried to tell the kSng of Maman1s plots. The kings ear was not open to Mordecai.
 Esther. the daughter of Mordecai's uncle. was selected for the kings banner, She resolved to carry the message of the plot against the king and her people to the ruler.
 When the plot was revealed. Hannah received the punishment that he had planned for the Jews. Nor 6ecai was given a place of honor in the court.
 This deliveranee from the forces of intrigue and injustice is the key note of the Pt1rin festival. Through out the ages it has brought . mes sage of courage to upholders of Jew iSM tradition.
 In addition the holiday coming in the month of Odar at the close of the winter season is hamburger of spring. It is celebrated by carnivals, feastS, games and plays.

through lack of funds.
 Yet it remained today for Q mother of Q newborn little girl to lead the way in showing her grati- tude for, the help given her in Q time of need.
 i've read about the trouble you're having getting enough money to keep up your service to people like me-" the young mother told the nurse on the routine call to help care for the baby daughter.
 T want to help as much as I'm able. We can get along this week with little less because you're helping us SO much with the baby" the mother explained.
 She insisted that the nurse &C., cept 50 cents and note it as a donation from the baby daughter.
 Unless more than s8o00 is forth coming in the rest of the days this week, the goal of the Visiting Nurse association will not be reached and the service must be curtailed.
 Tonight Miss Alice c. Peak, di- rector of the Visiting Nurse asso- citation, will speak at 6:i5 o'clock over Station WATR, asking that the public understand the problem of the association in its effort to main- tain service to all Waterbury in the matter of public health. Unlesst he full amount, which is the minimum sum on which the association can continue its service, Is forthcoming, Miss Peak said today, the service will have to be curtailed and this will work hardship on some sections of Waterbury.
 Unemployment
 Many persons are out of employ- ment," she commented, "and they must have attention when sick, even if they can't afford to pay for 1t. Now Is the time when the public health program should be extended, rather than curtailed."
 Judge Frank P. McEvoy of the superior court, added his appeal to the public of Waterbury today, say. ing: "The work of the Visiting Nurse association is more than simply important. It Is essential. It ought to be extended-not cur- tailed"
 Fred J. Carr, district manager of the John Hancock Mutual Life fn- surance company issued e statement in support of the Visiting Nurse Associations campaign for funds as follows: Tn my opinion the Visiting Nurse association Is the most valu- able organization for public health in our community, and it would be distinct step backwards if 1t had to curtail its activities in any direc- tion,"
 Mir. Carr will speak over Station VERY at 7:i5 tonight explaining some of the services of the V. N, 4.
 In an interview granted to Mrs. Roger s. Sperry, president of the Visiting Nurse association, John P. Elton said: T have known for some time that raising funds for this good work is a critical matter and that the Visiting Nurse Association is having difficulty. The association has been pretty successful in the past in raising money, and 1t seems to me that this appeal is one of the most important that can pos- sibly come to the people of Water bury
 Contributions to the Visiting Nurse association campaign may be sent, or brought, to the Visiting Nurse Home, 37 Central avenue, or to The Waterbury Democrat, which is authorized to receive all manner Of contributions.
