JEWRY TO HOLD
SEDER SERVICE
Passover Holiday to Be
Observed Wednesday {
Evening, April !

Memories Of freedom won after
years Of slavery in Egypt will bring
hope to Jews throughout the sad
dened world as they recite the seder
Service which usners in the holiday
Of the Passover on the evening Of
April /.
Passover, which commentaries the
deliverance of the Jews from the
oppression of the Pharaohs and
their entrance into the Promised
Land as a religious people, is the
oldest holiday in the Jewish calen-
dar. Originating as q spring festi-
val it developed a religious signi-
flcance during the days Of the
Temple and has become an occasion
Of thanksgiving for the organiza-
ton of the tribes of Israel into one
people, worshipping One God.
When Jersalem was the religious
center of Judaism the Passover
holiday was celebrated in the
Temple. It was one of the three
great pilgrim festivals, and people
came from all parts Of Palestine to
share in the holiday which marked
the sowing of the crops. Since the
destruction Of the Temple Passover
has become home festival
At the home service, which is
known as the Seder, and which is
rich in symbols, the story Of the
deliverance from slavery under the
leadership of Moses is read each
year. The ritual, or Haggadah, from
which the service is read Is often
beautifully illustrated.
Reform Jews celebrate the holi-
day for seven days. Synagogue SER
vices are held on the first and sew
enth days. Orthodox Jews celebrate
it for eight days and hold services
also on the second and eighth days
The eating Of unleavened bread,
or MatsoS, connected with the fes-
tival, is a symbol Of the haste with
which the Jews left Egypt. Accord
ing to tradition there was no time
to wait for the bread-dough to rise
There are also special dishes
which symbolic the hardships OF
the Children of Israel while in
Egypt. However because Of the
happy ending to the suffering in
Egypt and because of its connection
with spring and the release Of ma
ture from winters bondage, Pass
over retains its joyous character
and is celebrated with gladness and
song, as a festival Of freedom and
redemption under the divine guild
ance.

The office itself is large, sparse
AZ decorated. A big conference
table, surrounded with chairs,
occupies one section of the room.
Nelson's own deck is large. He
keeps it clear save for a small
American flag, a pen set, a desk
blotter and the combination humi-
dor pipe rack which his secretaries
gave him last Christmas.

Your Paint Bill VIII Shrink
If You Observe Simple Rules

BY NEA Service
If you haye painting to do, now
is the best time to make your plans.
Here are some economy tips on how
to make your paint 80 farther, last
longer:
Use paint manufactured BY re-
liable firms and you probably will
md you only need two coats i'm
stead Of three. In addition, 1t will
last longer.
Before paint is applied to an In
terror or exterior, make sure the
surface is thoroughly dry and clean.
If the old surface has . gloss, use
fine sandpaper on It so the new
coating can find . "toe hold"
MUST HAVE
GOOD SURFACE
Be sure to scrape on loose or
cracked old paint and hammer
down any nails that may be stick
ing out. Mail holes and cracks
should be filed with putty but only
after the Arst new coat has been
applied.
If you are painting furniture, all
old wax and polish must be re-
moved. With practically all fllrni-
tIlre, first turn 1t upside down and
paint the legs. Then place 1t right
side up and do the top and sides.
with dressers, dressing tables and
chests, paint panels first, frames
corners and legs second, and the
top last. II the new coat Is the
same color as the old, one coat Is
usually sufficient. Otherwise, use a
base coat and one or two final sur
faces.
Be sure to ALLOW each coat to dry
thoroughly before applying the next.

Here's The Way WPBs Lord" Nelson Lks His Gigantic Job

because Of his mastery Of the
whole situation. Recently when
he made q short speech for the
newsreels, he went through his
part so perfectly that no retakes
were necessary - something so
rare that one cameraman dubbed
him "One-Take Nelson"
Nelson sees between 20 and 80
people a day. He gives each the
impression that he has all the
time in the world, but most people
find they're out Of his office be-
fore they realize 1t. Visitors take
up the bulk of the morning until
his one o'clock lunch. He usually
eats light lunch (of buttermilk

variety.
PHONE RINGS
CONSTANTLY
During his longer conferences
(Which are interrupted at least
once every five minutes with
phone CALLS, Nelson talks quietly,
directly. He seldom loses his tenn
per, believing that "the man who
loses his temper first loses the
argument" When he Is nervous
or irritated, he lamps the tobacco

He gets most Of his work done
in person-to-person contacts, has
comparatively little paper work.
He writes few memos - many OF
them notes in his wide open
rambling hand, saying simply:
"Pls handle-DM.N."
BY seven at night he's ready TO
leave the office. He almost never
takes briefcase home with him,
but his evenings are spent in half
social-half business dinners and
conferences.
Before the war, when he was a
division head in the old OPM,
Nelson took weekends off to golf
and swim for the exercise he now
complains he can't get these
days. Now his only day off is
Sunday, and even that's not sure
any more.

He Mixes Writing
And Fighting in
Equal Parts
BY TALBOT LAKE

NERY typical Of the your most
v British Britisher is the amazing
ability to carry on, though the
world and the Empire falls apart.
One could hardly come across a
more excellent example than Den
mis- Wheatley, who has just written.
among others, thriller called The
Black Baroness" dts about Nazi
unpleaSantneSs in Norway and
The Scarlet ImpoStor"
The author has to his credit over
a score of books, all written within
the last ten years. He is 45 now, and
saw plenty OF, action In the last war.
In this one, he was recently given q
commission as a pilot officer IN the
Raj Volunteer Reserve. How he
managed to learn flying and still
write the book is something We cam
not figure out.
That Wheatley must be a most
unusual gentleman is evident from
the fact that he was prOfitably en-
gagged in his fathers wine business
until 1881. when he sold it out to 20
into the preCarious profession Of
writing. He's sold 100000 Of his
books per annum, had them trans
lated into 10 languages and seen
them in the movies.
As if this weren't enough, he in
vented a game called Invasion"
which is q big seller, too. Until he
went into the Raj, he was an ar
dent traveller. In his spare time,
which he actually seemed TO have.
he collected first editions, and drew
charts and maps.
Born Jan. 8, 1897, he was cdu-
Gated on Inns. Worcester and in
Germany In 1914, he entered his
fathers Mayfair wine business, and
in September of that year received
commission in the Royal Field
Artillery CTerritorials, The City OF
London Brigade. In 1917, he was
transferred to the Both ulster Di-
vision and saw action at PasSChen-
daele. Cambria, and St. Quentin.
When he was inyalided out OF the
army in 1919, Wheatley returned to
the wine business and became sole
owner on his fathers death. In this
capacity. he bought and dispersed
many famous cellars.
