Services for
Purim PIons
Local JeWry
Participating in Feast
Observance

Special services and the reading
Of The Megillah" will be held this
evening and tomorrow morning at
the Beth Israel and Sharith Israel
Synagogues for the feast Of Purim
to be observed by the Jewish popu-
lation Of Waterbury tomorrow, Rab-
bi Seymour Gewirtz announced to-
day. Purim Is a day of feasting and
joy, and Of sending portions one to
another, and gifts to the poor" the
Rabbi stated.
The story of Purim, which is re-
corded in the ten chapters Of the
Book Of Esther commonly referred
to as The Megillah" is a tale Of
Jews who lived in the Persian En-
pire during the reign of King Aha
shverosh. Haman, a prime minister
Of Persia, ordered the execution Of
all the Jews in the land after his
vanity was hurt by Mordecai, one
Of their leaders. To determine upon
what day the decree should be car
ried out, Haman cast lots lin He
brew "purimO. The lot fell upon the
18th day of the Hebrew month OF
Adar which this year comedies with
March II.
When the date was learned, a
three-day fast was declared for all
Jews. The Intervention of Esther
Queen of Persia and Mordecai's
cousin, spared the Jews and the day
was set aside as one of feasting.
Haman and his ten sons were order
ed hanged by King Ahashverosh.
The regular breakfast meeting OF
the Beth Israefs Mems Club in the
vestry rooms of the Synagogue to-
morrow will be dedicated to the
celebration of the festive Purim
holiday. Rabbi Gewirtz said. Every
one attending the meeting will be
given special Purim gift.

Pupils at Woodbridge
Set Week S Record
In Paper Campaign

Heavy collections of old news
papers and magazines yesterday
served to swell the fund being set
aside to endoW a four-bed ward in
the new Children's Hospital build
ing as memorial to the Paper
troopers, but there still is con-
siderable distance to go if the goal
of $500 is to be reached.
Results in some of the schools
were outstanding but others fell far
short of their quotas based on Is
pounds per capita and still others
took no part in the drive, adding to
the burden Oh those who are at
tempting to make the goal.
The outstanding school in the
drive is the Woodbridge School. which
added a collection of more than
5000 pounds yesterday to its collec-
ton of 27,00O pounds last week to
make grand record total in days
of $4,000 pounds. or 100 pounds per
capita. This is a record for one
week which is far ahead of any
marks ever recorded in the paper
drive, especially remarkable in view
of the large percentage of Wood
ridges children who are in the
grades from the second grade down
kindergarten.
Among yesterdays collections which
totaled 1920 pounds were Taylor.

Hank Skampo's Bubble Bar,
which was almost totally de-
stroyed by fire just a year ago,
has been completely rebuilt and
is now open, he hopes, for the
same big business it enjoyed be-
fore that cataStrophy.
Hank has spared no expense
in remodeling his new Bubble
Bar, which contains everything
new, from the smooth terrazza
floor to the ultra-modern sound
ceiling.
Recessed in and flush with
the indirectly lighted ceiling,
Hank has installed Toledo's most
modern sound system, which
produces perfect, even undis-
turbed quiet music to every seat
in the house.
Hank is also offering some
thing new in the way of enter
tainment with two fine bands
playing afternoons and evenings,

afternoon session and Fats Ma

HOLLYWOOD - In Colur1-

"The Lone Wolf in Mexico" !"
featuring aid Mohr, Eric
Blore and Sheila Ryan, one
scene concerns the theft of a
diamond pendant which, for the
picture purpose, is worth hun
dreds of thousands of dollars.
Of course, the diamond in the
scene is just an imitation of a
real jewel-but what an imita-
ton! The stone is a copy of the
world-famous Rajput diamond,
and is worth several hundred
dollars in its own right.
Each time the stone is used
in scene, a studio guard stands
nearby, and when it has fin
ished its sparkling" role before
the camera, the guard returns it
to the property department safe.
