The Auchincloss bill for home rule
for the District today has the sup
port of the Burroughs Citizens A.

they were the first to advocate an
independent District government Is
years ago.
The associations movement for a
new deap' for the District in 1888

Meeting in the Taft Junior High
School, the association Endorsed the
Auchincloss Plan, after hearing two
attorneys describe various aspects OF

has been criticized as a hodge
podge system completely unresponsi-
BILE to the will OF the people"
The second speaker, Lewis Ulman,
attorney and member Of the Nation
al Labor Relations Board here, de-
tailed provisions of the bill.
Two members of the association

WHAT is TT-this mecca within metrop-

the place of the good, rich work-a-day things
Under it's huge roof, spreading over man-sized

where you might rub elbows with your seam

WHAT IS IT, you ask? It's the meeting place

Jewish New Year
Is Solemn Rite

Jewish people observe the New
Year at a different date and with
more religious solemnity than is
associated with the Christian New
Year.
Rosh Hashana, the name of Jew
ish New Years day, may occur any
time between September S and
October 5. 1t is one of the highest
of Orthodox holy days and opens
a period of penitence, prayer and
charity which lasts until Yom Kip
pur, ten days later. Yom Kippur
means Day of Atonement
Traditionally, Yom Kippur was
set apart as day of atonement by
Moses and elaborate ceremonies
solemnized its observance until the
offering of sacrifices was aban-
doned after the destruction of the
Temple in Jerusalem in 20 A. D.
In modern times, no other Jew
ish fast day or festival is as gen.
orally and religiously observed.
Services in the synagogues begin
in the evening of the proceeding
day and are continuous until sunset
on the day itself The souls of the
dead are included in the commu-
nifty of those pardoned on the Day
of Atonement, and it is customary
for children to have public mention
made of their deceased parents and
to make charitable gifts on behalf
of their souls.
There is, repeatedly, a Book Of
Life wherein the name of every liv-
ing creature is written. This Book
is sealed annually on Yom Kippur.
This is the reason for the customary
Jewish New Year greeting, May
YOU be inscribed for happy New
Year"
