JEWISH FESTIVAL
TOOPEN TONIGHT
Orthodox Groups to OBJ
serve Feast of Weeks
Locally for Two Days

In these days when war fills half
the world and war news the other
half, the Jewish festival Of Shovuos,
or the Yeast Of Weeks, which be-
gins with services this evening will
be especially significant. It COM
memorates the Confirmation Of the
Jewish people in their faith under
the leadership Of Moses.
Originally a festival celebrating
the end Of the grain harvest in
Palestine, Shovuos Is observed by
Reform Jews for one day; by Con-
servative and Orthodox groups for
two days. The sixth day Of Swan,
the third month Of the Jewish
calendar, is the day Of Shovuos,
which falls this year on June IL.
Since the destruction OF the
Temple in the year 10 Of the Com
mon Era Shovuos became primar-
lily q feast of commemoration Of
the Giving Of the Law. Exodus
describes tn giving Of the tablets
Of the Law to Moses on Mount
Sinai as occurring early In the
month OF Eivan. The two ideas
have coalesced in the celebration
Of the Feast Of Weeks.
Shovuos Is called Feast Of
Weeks" because 1t falls seven weeks,
a week of weeks, after Passover
which marked the beginning Of the
harvest -eason.
In the 10th century, Reform Jews
introduced the Confirmation Cere-
mony into the Shovuos service.
This ceremony, now followed IN
many Conservative Synagogues as
well, is a. formal Confirmation OF
both boys and girls in their faith.
Greenery used to decorate home
and synagogue on Shovuos is rem
iniscent Of the original agricultural
character Of the holiday.
The Book Of Ruth with Its story
of Ruth's acceptance Of the Jewish
faith Is read in the Synagogue Ser
vice for Shovuos.

STATE POLICE
AID IN DRIVE
Cars in Apparent Disrepair
to Be Stopped; 'JaIOpies'
Dangerous in Traffic

Cooperation of the state police
In a drive against automobiles in
apparent disrepair operating on the
highways was today assured Motor
Vehicles Commissioner Michael A..
Conner by Commissioner Of State
Police Edward j. Hickey.
1.-THE fact that more than half Of
the cars In the state have already
been brought to the inspection lanes
shows a very satisfying response of
car owners to inspections" Commits
sioner Conner said in announcing
the drive against unfit .jalopies'.
However, there are cars on the
road in dangerous mechanical con-
dition which have not ben brought
to the lanes for this reason and in
the interest of safety they should
not be allowed to continue operat-
ing In this condition until the last
day Of inspections"
Authorized
The Connecticut law provides that
a state police officer, or an inspector
authorized by the commissioner of
motor vehicles may stop any car
at any time for inspection.
In letter to Commissioner Con-
nor, Commissioner Hickey promised
him the cooperation of the state
police 80 that the real benefit Of
the inspections may be accomplish
ed by having unfit cars on the road
put in shape"
The first inspection period ends
on August 81. More than 250,0O0
Of the approximately 100000 cars
registered at the present time have
been passed at the inspection lanes.
The department Of motor vehicles
estimates that approximately 100000
cars will have been registered by
the end Of the registration year.
Movable Lanes
A car owner, regardless OF his adj
dress, may bring his car to any lane
in the state that Is convenient for
him. Besides the permanent lanes
at Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport,
Stamford and Waterbury, seven
movable lanes are circulating among
30 smaller communities. Locations
Of movable lanes are published by
local papers and also may be had
by calling the main or branch Of
fees of the motor vehicles DEPART
ment.

department will look into the matter
Of sidewalk.
Justification Of the boards action
was given by Conlsrs. Ashton and
Hadden, while DR.. Barnes said he
would not speak at the meeting, but
would reserve his comment for the
regular board meeting Monday.
Mrs. Hadden said she felt more
attention would be given the chill
dren at the up-to-date East Farm
school where there would be more
| teachers.
This school only has to burn
down once" she said. 1T will be
to your advantage and the advant-
age of your children to close the
building. She declared that the
contention of many that closing the
school would depreciate property
was not well-founded.
Less Crowded
Mr.. Ashton said that approx
mately $4,000 to $4,000 would be
needed to remodel the building, and
that the present budget could GER
tanly not provide for the work. He
said that advantage should be taken
of the East Farms school where, he
claimed, the children would be
safer and less crowded.
Residents Of the district who OPP
posed the boards action included
Nick Pilzer, of 500 Plank Road;
Mrs. Jennie Rossi, Of Scott Road
Archie M. Haggerty, Of Scott Road
Raymond Dunn, Daniel Morelli, and
Mrs Anthony DeLuca.
Arthur Baker, Of Ellsbury avenue
