is said to have been carried over
from the days of Joshua who was
commanded not to allow the Holy
Scroll to be removed from his
possession. After he finished it,
the Lord said to Joshua, "Chazak"
-''be strong"
He who came forth to make
blessings over the Torah, in
earlier days when all could read
Hebrew, would be the actual
reader. To him, like Joshua, the
blessing "Chazak" was offered.
Later, it became customary to
make this universal matter and
bless each one who came up to
the scroll. Today there are many
different systems by which these
blessings are invoked. Their COM
mon denomination is the fact that
when the Scroll is withdrawn
and seen in the presence OF the
congregation it is the proper time
to invoke blessings upon those
who need and those who deserve
them.

u u QUESTION: What is a Nee
ShebaYrach?" TX. c.. Macon. Gal
ANSWER: "Mee Shebayrach" is
the colloquial name for the bless
ing which is given to the person
who comes forth to make bless
ings over the reading of the
Torah. The term is taken from
the first two words of the text of
the blessing, which reads: MAY
he who blessed our forefatherS
Upon special occasions
this blessing is recited for sick
person, for woman who has just
given birth, for a Bar-MitZvah,
for newborn child, for groom,
for a bride, for the people whom
the particular person wishes to
bless after offering charity, and
at least once a week, on the Sab
bath, for the entire congregation.
Question: What is the origin
and the reason for this blessing?
ANSWER: A number of inter-
esting theories are advanced for
this type of blessing. In medic
val times in France it was the
custom for the reader to bless the
last reader of the Scroll with the
exclamation "Chazak" - which
means ''be strengthened" This

to be handled with care and rev.

the contrary, the original dough,

ness the fact that Mrs. Harding has
some that was started more than
| fifty years ago. She recently made
gifts of small pots of starter to
friends in town, which intrigueS
me with the idea that from now on
several families own part of the
heritage of Alaska.
In my mind is picture of pros
pectors and trappers of many years
ago, hurrying with their dog teams
from cabin to cabin along their
trap lines, or trudging in the cold
to diggings, always returning to
some spot in the hills confident
that a pot or starter Of some kind
of sourdough was patiently wait
ing to be turned into tasty brown
cakes for the delectation and nour-
ishment of the master. 1t seems a
shame to eat anything so old and
historic
Just think what Mrs. Harding's
sourdough has outlived The town
of Sunrise sprang from nothing
into a flourishing, noisy, braWling
community of 400 people, then
died to become the ghost town of
the kenai, hidden away from all
but knowing eyes.
A village in the far North, known
as the Anvil City, became the
scene of the most remarkable gold
rush in one season to a population
of over 10000. only to dwindle in
three years into practical obscurty.
And because of the mistake of
craftsman became known as the
city of Nome.
Seward the terminus of the pro-
posed new railroad, was laid out
and became a town with the open
ing of restaurant in a one-room
cabin on the lot now occupied by
Moodys. Seward did not die, but
survived.
Anchorage was conceived and
dedicated to the proposition that
all things good and prosperous
should be gathered there.
All this and much, much more,
including two terrible wars won
and lost. Earthquake, flood, fire,
disaster, but this little pot of sour
dough lived calmly on, oblivious
of all things outside its little
sphere. And. we eat it with gusto
and praise for its flavor. l still
maintain that one should bare his
head with reverence while eating
of this bit of living matter No

pride of her fifty-year-ol sour

griddle and bake until brown, turn

Never use cake flour to return to

naturally follow increased develop

will extend and widen the oppor-
tunity for employment for skilled
and unskilled working-men.
2. 1.-THE army wants it from the
standpoint of needed power for in
dustrial production in case of
another war. The Northwest is de-
veloping rapidly and there is now
a shortage of electrical power"
The council thinks the opinion
of the army as to the necessity of
Libby Dam is of great weight and
should be followed. The shortage
of electrical power in the north
west is known by all newspaper
readers and radio listeners.
The power developed at Libby
Dam will amply supply the needs
of northwest Montana and northern
Idaho, and aid other north western
power plans private and public
where there is a shortage of power.
At this point in the article pub
lished in The Western News the
author says, 'the reservoir above

flood control" In using those words
he belittles Libby Dam, and SCOTS

the new congress there will be
little hesitancy in spending because
of the factor of casts, was answered
by the people at the last election.
