The District Federation Of Wom.
ems Clubs adopted q resolution
favoring the extension of rent con.
troll for the District for another yeal
at Its monthly meeting yesterday al
the Hamilton Hotel.
Mrs. Harvey w. Wiley, Legislation
chairman, introduced the resolution
which urged that the clause per.
mitting a Is per cent raise in rents
which is in the National Rent Con-
troll Act be incorporated into the
District Emergency Rent Act.
The same session also featured q
talk by Representative Katharine
st. George, Republican Of New York
who asserted the proper administra-
ton of the European aid program
is as important as the billions slated
to be spent in carrying it out.
1.-THE time has come in our Ma
tons history when we must realize
we cannot save the world by money
alone" Mrs. st. George declared
For the success Of the European aid
program, she recommended that a
proper body" be established to ad-
minister it in Europe as well as at
home. She emphasized the impor-
tance of choosing representatives
who realize "the American flag must
be respected all over the world"
The speaker answered criticisms
Of proposals to cut the administra-
ton requests for the aid recovery
program with stories of wasteful
practices which she said have oc-
Cured in foreign areas where the
United States Government is repre-
sented.
THE waste Of two world wars has
put us in a frame of mind where
we pay little attention to it," Mrs.
st. George declared. "And waste
does not make for efficiency either
in your home, my home, the Gov
ernment or the armed forces"
Of Russo-American relations, the
speaker commented, Russia does
not want to bring on a war. but
judging from past performances
with other nations, she wants us to
bring 1t to her"
We can avert development of such
a situation If we hold our bridge
heads in Western Europe but
not cross them, the speaker as
serted.
Mrs. st. George commended
Britain's Foreign Minister Ernest
Bevin's recent suggestion for a
Western European union. 1--WE must
help the Western European coun-
tries to strengthen themselves
through customs unions and unity
ing of their armed forces" she de-
clared.
The speaker also sounded a warn
ing against the danger of national
socialism replacing democracy in
this country because of "lukewarm"
to present ideals.
National socialism is being put
over in every part Of the world to-
day, including the United States" 4"
Mrs. st. George declared. She
asserted that the people Of this
country have lost their self-reliance
and faith in the individual, putting
all their faith in the government.

issued at his insistence against
the Jews of Persia. 1t was there
fore decided to make festivity
out of the date that turned fate
in favor of the Jews, when the
time came, showing the divine pro-
lection that hovers above Jewish
destiny.
QUESTION: What is the origin
of the Jewish custom of eating
"Hamantaschen," "Kreplach," etc.,
on Purim?
ANSWER: AS indicated in the
Biblical accounts of the story of
Esther and later formulated by
the writings in the Talmud and
later Rabbinic Literature, the oc-
casion of Purim called for frivo-
lous celebrations which included
feasting and drinking. Such being
the case, certain delicacies were
baked or cooked and given titles
indicating a relationship to the
festival. The word "hamantas-
chen" for example, is nothing
more than combination and
carry-over of two words, hannah
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1948-03-19

and fash. The word fash means
to weaken or destroy. Purlm De-
ing the occasion to celebrate the
weakening of the villainous power
given Hannah and his final de-
struction, it is not irregular TO
name certain type of baked
goods to commemorate this. The
usual "hamantash" consists OF bak-
ed dough filled with poppy seeds.
Some hamantaschen are made in
triangular figures either to indl-
cate the threefold classification OF
Israelites Cohen, Levi and Israeli,
the three-fold blessing of the
priests or as claimed by some, to
be indicative of the three-pointcd
caps that were worn at the time.
QUESTION: Why is drinking
of spirits approved by the rabbis
on Purim?
ANSWER: While the Jewish
religion looks unfavorably upon
excessive drinking, on Purim we
find the Talmud saying that one
should drink until he can no longer
distinguish between the terms
"Cursed be Hannah" and BLESSED
be Mordecai." This is generally
the custom so as to comply with
the Biblical statement that the
day Of Purim be a "Mishteh"
drinking party.) Furthermore
many writer's point out that the
fateful events which went into
making up the Miracle of Purim"
seemed to center around drinking
parties.
For example, the original queen
of Persia (Vashti) sealed her doom
at a drinking party given by the
king. The Inauguration of Queen
Esther was feted by great festi-
val of food and drink ordered by
the king. The realization of Ha-
mans tyranny was shown to the
king at a drinking party ordered
by Queen Esther. To commemor-
ate this strange recurrence drink
ing was ordained as the order of
the day tor PUyinl. It is interest
ing indeed 20 note that the state
ment from the Talmud stated
above may also be explained by
realizing that the mathematical
sum of the numerical values found
in the Hebrew characters which
espell both the sentences "Cursed
be Hannah" and BLESSED no
Mordecai' are automatically equal
(5O2), indicating that the good
fortune of the Jews comedies with
the humiliation of tyranny.

QUESTION:: What does "Purim"
mean?

name given to the commemorative
festival we celebrate because
Hannah had cast lots to ascertain
