THIS Is FISHY
Eonald Bassett is firmly con-
vinced that there is such a thing
is beginners LUX.
The BasSett family and Weather
man Roy Simpson have been going
fishing frequently this winter with
varying luck Sometimes good and
sometimes bad luck marked their
efforts.
Tuesday night the BaSSett fam
lily and Simpson finally persuaded
Margaret Johnson to go fishing.
She wasn't interested in fishing
but they convinced her that even
if she did not like life in the open,
it was a good idea to do something
about the meat shortage.
BEssett showed her all about fish

Year. 5704, begins on Wednesday
evening, September 29.
The traditional Jewish New
Year, will this year be celebrated
in every part of the world. Not
only will solemn religious services
be held in every Synagogue and
Temple in countries where Jewish
people live, but the Holy Day will
also be observed on every fighting
front and in every far-flung outpost
where Jews, together with their
compatriots of every faith, are
participating in the struggle for
victory of the Allied forces. The
Holy Day. which begins at sun
down on September 20, continues
until shutdown the following day
for the Reform Jews, while the
Orthodox and Conservative Jews
celebrate also a second day on
Friday.
The traditional greeting on this
day is: May you be inscribed in
the Book of Life This greet
ing has a special significance this
year for all of the members of the
armed forces and for those thou
sands who are still under the heel
of the oppressor The Shofor. or
rams horn, which is sounded in
the Synagogue on this festival, is
a call to faith in the ultimate VIC
tory of ghteousness. The New
Year ushers in the ''ten days of
penitence'' which eliminate in the
Day of Atonement on Yom Kip
pur, ten days later. This period is
marked by prayer, repentance, and
determination on the part of
every individual.
