Take an automatic waterer,
for instance, says Frank Web
Ster, county extension agent.
DR.. c.. 0. BreSSler of Pennsyl-
vania State college reported at
the recent Poultry Science meet
ing that one poultryman spent
81 minutes per day watering his
1000 layers. After converting his
watering system to automatic
floats, he spent only five min
utes a day cleaning out the
fountains and seeing that the
water was available for the
birds.
"Just think of the many jobs
he could do with this extra time
each day." Webster says. "Or,"
he adds, "he could even relax
during that time instead of
working" Another important
item was the matter of distance
travelled caring for the hens
watering setup. The same
poultryman travelled approx
mately 1900 feet each day carry
ing water to the fountains. Fol-
lowing the change to the auto
matte system, he travelled only
167 feet.

ster says, might be worth con-
sideration by poultrymen who

The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1949-12-16

QUESTION: Why are Chanu-
kah candles lit in the synagogue
as well as in the home?
ANSWER: Candles are lit in
the synagogue for the benefit of
guests and strangers who are a.
way from home. This might
stem from an ancient custom
wherein synagogues would set
aside lodging accommodations for
strangers who passed through the
city. The community would thus
be obligated to provide Chanukah
lights for these people.
Lighting the candles in the syn
agogue enhances the spreading"

dom and bravery of Judith in
overcoming the general Holfornes
and thus saving the day for her
people is indeed deserving OF
some special note on the festival.
The hardships imposed upon wo-
men who insisted upon retaining
their purity in spite of the
strange laws of the tyrant which
were overcome only by the cum
ming methods of Jewish women
raise the prestige of Jewish
womanhood even higher when
Chanukah is mentioned.
Thus, at least when the candles
were lit, the women were elevat-
ed from their household chores
and set up as the heroines OF
Jewish families to be admired
and respected for the role they
played in saving the Jewish peo-
pie from destruction. Originally
some customs didn't allow wom-
en- to work all through the holi-
days.
QUESTION: What is the source
for the observances of the Chan
ukah festival?
ANSWER: The major source
is, of course, the Book of the
Maccabees, one Of the books not
included in the official cannon
Bible. There is some mention,
although little, in the Mishnah
and more in the later books of the
Talmud. Talmudic sources and
st-Talmudic sources like to
trace hints of it even in Biblical
times, i. e., to show that the 25th
day of Kislev was an important
day through all history.
QUESTION:: What is a Chan
ukas HabaYis?"
ANSWER: "Chanukas Habayis"
is the term given to the ceremony
that is enacted when dedicating
a new Jewish home. The term
"Chanukas Habayis" is a COM
bination of two Hebrew terms
which mean dedication of the
house."
QUESTION: What usually takes
place at such a ceremony?
ANSWER: Usually several
Psalms are chanted and a bless
ing is recited thanking the Lord
for giving us life," in order to
reach this time of life. Usually
the first Mezuzah is affixed to
the doorpost at this time with
correspondent benediction. Re-
freshments are then served ac-
cording to the means and the
dictates of the hosts.

QUESTION: What is the reason
for the ninth candle on the Chan
ukah Menorah?
ANSWER: The ninth is tradi-
tionally known as the Sham
mash" which means the attend
ant" Most sources claim that its
inception came from a tradition
ally legal background. Technic-
ally, no light or benefit in a per-
sonal sense was to be derived
from the Chanukah lights since
they were regarded as holy OBJ
jects, above the realm of material
things.
QUESTION: Why was it orig
inallY customary for the women
of the household to abstain from
work of any kind while the Chan
ukah candles were still aglow?
ANSWER: Many interesting
reasons are offered for this GUS
tom. Generally the role of the
Jewish woman is quite prominent
in the story behind the festival of
Chanukah. The martyrdom of
Hannah and her seven sons is
enough to allow Jewish woman
hood the browning role in the OBJ
servance of Chanukah. The wis

Alexandria was not surprised to
hear that her Marine veteran hus-
band had been arrested on a
charge of trying to break into a

The pretty young woman said
she had not eaten a full meal since

Judge David A. Pine today dis
missed suit brought by a Prince
Georges County grocer to have the
taxes he paid on District property
applied to tuition fees billed his
daughter at ELIOT Junior High
School.
Under the ruling, the grocer,
Isaac Eisenberg, 170l Kenilworth
avenue, Prince Georges County,
will have to pay the $80.16 or have
his daughter Sarah expelled.
Judge Pine said the language of
the Districts 1949 Appropriation
Act which provided that no funds
be spent for the free instruction of
pupils living outside of the District
was such that it would be "a
direct violation of a mandate of
Congress" to permit the girl to re-
ceive free tuition.
Judge Pine had signed tenn
porary restraining order on Feb
ruary 18 to prevent expulsion of
the girl from the school. The
motion to dismiss the suit and
vacate the restraining order was
made today by Assistant Corpora
ton Counsels Oliver Gasch and
John Doyle.
Mr.. Gasch contended the ap-
preparation acts language re-
pealed a basic law in the Dis
trict code which did allow non-
residents of the District to apply
taxes they may pay here on
school tuition bills. He was up
held in this contention by Judge
Pine.
Mr.. Eisenberg in his suit said
he owned property at 1911 North
Capitol street and he had paid
$101 in real estate taxes.
Attorneys for Mr.. Eisenberg
were William T. Pace and Robert
w. Mccullough. They claimed
that in order for Congress to re-
peal basic legislation by language
