1T is HIGH TIME that we paid more
attention to facts and less to fancy, in al the
talk concerning imitation, the high cost of
living, and the deprecated dollar.
The theory that manufacturing profits
are at the root Of it all, won't stand up. Prof
its, for the most part, have been moderate,
and in many industries the high cost Of
plant-building has more than eaten up earn
ings and has made heavy capital borrowings
necessary.
The same thing is true Of retail profits.
Chain stores, independent stores, and all
kinds of stores have made public factuaI
reports which show that profits per dollar
sale are. generally lower than before the war
OF under OPA, and are still declining.
The influence of wages on prices is OBJ
viOus. But the worker has been caught in the
imitation spiral, and wage adjustments have
been inevitable
One of the biggest price boosters rarely
gets the attention it deserves-the govern
ment. Virtually unbridled spending, coupled
with staggering debt, and supplemented by
long list of dubious fiscal policies, can't
help but send prices up and up. A larger part
Of your dollar, believe it or not, goes to the
government than for any other item Of ex-
penditure. In 1916, for instance, govern
ment took 81.4 cents of it. Food, by COMPARE
son, took 1873 cents, housing 1873 cents and
clothing 9.3 cents. Government cut your dol
lar to SO cents-and that included only direct
expenditures. Governments total take, if it
could be figured, would be much higher.
~
tacklng causes, not symptoms. Cheaper gov
ernment must be the first step in an effective
fight against imitation.
WHEN BAD WEATHER damages a
food crop, the farmer is the first to feel the
impact. but he is not the last one to be affect
ed.
The consumer is soon hit by the effect Of
crop damage. "A short corn crop means high
er corn prices which in turn increase the cost
Of feed for beef, poultry, and other meat ami
mails. AS result of the shortage in the 1947
corn crop and unfayOrable wheat pasture
conditions, points to II per cent cut in the
number OF cattle moving into the corn belt
compared to year ago, as a leading factor
affecting meat prices.
In business as highly competitive as
food production, price rises are not caused
by arbitrary price boosting Because of a
Lec0tu ueInanQ Tor meat and scarcity of
feed, the total national herd has been re-
duced by between 100000 to 100000
head according to the American National
Livestock Association. Such a reduction in
The national herd, at time when demand
Tor beef IS breaking all records, offers little
encouragement for reduced prices in the near
future Even with cattle production on the
increase, price relief would be doubtful with
our present 50-cent dollar.
Price control as remedy is not the ans
Wer. It would not bring more favorable
weather to grow more corn to fatten more
cattle. Neither would it strike at the causes
OF our present initiation which advances all
prices. It is like Offering a crutch to a man

CLINTON, N. Y. Is it an over
grown greenhouse, or a stunted
blimp hanger?
That's what visitors to Hamilton
Colleges hilltop campus often ask
when they see the long, low win
dowed structure crouching in the
shadow of Hamilton's large, new
alumni gymnasium.
Actually, neither petunias nor
airships would look familiar in the
structure. It's only crop for the
past 25 years has been hockey

During those years, Hamilton ice

record of 131 victories, 80 defeats

One of the. reasons for Hamil-
toms good hockey fortunes is its
indoor rink, believes Coach Ros-
well (HOp) Rudd. I'VE will always
attract good hockey material be-
cause of the facilities" says Rudd.
This hockey business at Hamil-
ton started back in 1918. Some of
the students nailed together a
makeshift ring behind a dormi-
tory and pTacticed after classes.
The following winter a schedule
of IL games was played-and Ham
ilton won every one.
Hockey interest mounted and by
1922 Hamilton erected a hockey
building, using 100000 of a gem
erOus bequest given the college by
the widow of Russell Sage. The
Continentals won their first game
on the new rink, beating Amherst
81.
Most Of the games are played at
night, under the buildings bright
lights. Seats are provided for 500
spectators, standing room for hun
dreds more.
The building uses natural ice.
which keeps workmen busy OPEN

control inside temperature. For
years several of Hamilton's 1000
alumni have been campaigning for
installation of artificial ice ma

Rising costs have prevented this.

future will remedy the situation.

felt by the Jewish heart.
Judaism knows no concept of
Grace or mystic salvation coming
to the individual through the eff
fort of someone else. On the con-
trary, every Jewish man and wom-
an can redeem himself through a
sincere return to God, and Yom
Kippur is the day that gives each
one of us the opportunity and the
proper setting to balance the
books of our lives. For Jewish
life cannot be a haphazard one,
Jewish living cannot be achieved
without preparation. And Yom
Kippur, the Day of Atonement,
gives us both the proper occasion
and the proper direction for the
planning of Jewish life.
Everyone is familiar with the
old saying that "all Israel are re-
SpOnsible for one another" Daily
life has taught us that Jews as a
group are usually blamed for the
misdeeds of an individual. But
even among ourselves this mutu-
al responsibility cannot be an
empty slogan. Judaism, the God
given way of life, realizes that it
is impossible for the individual to
raise himself to the high stand
ards set on Mount Sinai unless
he is aided and encouraged by all
the members of his group. That is
why the Synagogue Service relies
primarily, not on the leadership
of one religious functiOnary, but
on the participation of all worship
pers. The liturgy of Yom Kippur
includes a full description of the

Service at the Sanctuary in Jer-
usalem. There the High Priest
brought the offering of the whole
people before the Lord, in the pre-
sence of the people, who in turn
participated in the prayers and
responses. And when the High
Priest pronounced the Holy Name,
which he was permitted to do only
on YOm Kippur, the people, who
had been standing tightly crowd
ed together, fell on their faces and
found enough space to bow deeply
before God. 1t was to them the
miracle of YOm Kippur, and it is
the inspiration of Yom Kippur to
this day, that even the impossi-
BILE can be achieved by concerted
effort. And to this day, also,
every Jew closes his shop and his
office and comes to the Synagogue
to receive some of this inspiration
to be one with every other Jew,
and to participate actively in the
Service that is being conducted
for him by his Rabbi and Cantor.
The Biblical source of the OBJ
servance of the Day of Atonement
is in the Third Book of Moses,
Leviticus. In the 10Th chapter
the ritual of the Sanctuary is des-
cribed, and the day is identified
as follows:
"And it shall be unto you sta
tute for ever: in the seventh
month, on the tenth of the month,
We shall afflict yourselves and no
work shall We do +. For on that
day atOnement shall be made for
you to cleanse you; from all your
sins before the Lord shall We be
clean. 1t shall be a sabbath of
rest unto you, and We shall afflict
yourselves, as a statute for ever &.
And this shall be unto you as a
statute for everlasting, to make
an atOnemeRt for the Children of
Israel once a year = (Lev.
XVI, 29-S4).
Jewish law and Jewish tradition
have interpreted the words Eye
shall afflict yourselves" as COM
handing the complete abstention
from food and drink, as well as
from such conveniences as the
wearing of shoes. Thus we OBJ
serve Yom Kippur as day of
fasting and prayer. AS all Jewish
festivals, Yom Kippur begins in
the evening and ends in the even
ing, according to the verse: "a
sabbath of rest shall it be unto
you, and we shall afflict your
selves; on the ninth of the month
at evening, from evening to even
ing, shall we celebrate your sab
bath" (Lev. XIII. 32). The
evening service in the synagogue
begins with Kol Nidre, a well

known prayer for dissolution from
all sacred vows that, due to our
human failings, we are unable TO
fulfill. It's prominence dates back
to the Spanish Inquisition when
Jews were forced to swear allegi-
ance to strange faiths. Both the
text and the melody of Kol Nidre
are extremely old and have passed
into our religious consciousness to
such an extent that in many in
stances Jewish congregations went
to their death rather than change
it from its prominent place in the
liturgy. The keynote of both the
evening and daytime services are
confessions of sin and prayers for
Divine forgiveness. There is
long list of sins and transgressions
that is recited several times-so
long in fact, that to understand
it we must keep in mind that the
Jew comes before the Lord not
merely as an individual, but as an
integral part of the Jewish people;
he, as an individual, shares in the
wrong-doing of every other Jew
ish individual by failing to use
his influence to prevent them,
and must atone for them as well.
Yom Kippur is day of judg-
ment, a day when the Lord seals
the fate of all his creatures for
the coming year, according to
their merits. just as the period
when the Divine court is in ses-
sion, as it were, was opened by
the blowing of the ShOfar on yue
New Year, ROsh HashOnah, so it
is closed with a sound of the rams
horn. 1t ends the Ten Days of
Penitence and marks a return to
the routine of the year, return
which, however, will bring i'm
provement in our spiritual stand
ard of living. For the resolutions
of the Jew, made in an atmosphere
of seriousness and sOlemnity rath-
er than gaiety and abandon, are
not meant to be forgotten forth
with.
True Judaism means a good and
worthwhile life. Yom Kippur is a
high point of Judaism in teaching
us that to be religious means to
be good to man as well as to Cod
It can atone only for sins against
God, but those against man must
be forgiven by those who were
wronged. That is why Yom Kip
pur is begun with a settlement of
personal disputes; that is why,
before we begin our prayers, we
approach our friends first, asking
them to forget their grievances,
to forgive all intentional and I'M
intentional offenses committed
against them. For we cannot be
at peace with our creator unless
we are at peace with his creatures.
Thus YOm Kippur, a day of
fasting and prayer, of repentance
and regeneration, is one of the
great blessings that God in his
kindness bestowed upon his peo-
pie, one of the means by which we
can learn to live a life of true
worth.
