CAST YOUR Sins UPON
THE WATERS
A SHORT STORY BY D. scHocHER

Danny saw the wry look on
uncle Ben's face. What is that
l hear" said uncle Ben. did you
say you are going fishing? Don't
you know today is Rosh Hashon-
all, and that it is forbidden to
catch fish.
Il never catch fish," said Dan
ny. Il just fish. Even papa
doesn't catch any. Last time 1
went fishing with papa, you
know what, uncle Ben
WHAT"
We'll, I don't know if I should
tell you but papa bought the fish
he took home and told mama he
caught them"
That's SIM" uncle Ben, land
if he did that, he ought to go to
the lake today for tashlich."

ny.
'Tashlich is a symbolic rite
we observe on RoSh Hashonah.
Jews go to a lake or river and
throw their sins in"
II bet it's lot of fun," said
Danny. Can I go and throw my
sins in the river?"
alright, if you want to you
can go along with me to tash-
Itch" uncle Ben replied, and with
his face turning into a half-smile
he told the grinning youngster to
make sure he takes along his sins
with him to the river. And as he
caught a CLEAN of surprise in
Danny's eyes uncle Ben murmur-
ed whisperingly you know,
you've got to throw them into the
river"
Shall wrap them up?" asked
Danny.
EYES," said Uncle Ben land make
a neat package"
"Okay," chirped Danny, "and
are you making up a package
too?"
20, I am afraid l would need
a horse and wagon to carry all
of my sins to the river" Ben
joked.
Cant you send it by freight"
asked Danny. Il bet the railroad
would give you a special rate. My
teacher said that the railroads
often give rebates for large ship

know that is sin?"
mo, it isn't" said Danny, Il
saw you smile and when you
make a person smile that's no
SIM"
well, you are quite a philos-
opher and for that I will take
you along to tashlich, if you want
to go with me-"
Sure, just a second till I get
my package of SINS" said Danny,
and pretending to raise a package
under his arm he called out,
"Okay, on to the river"
Uncle Ben and Danny walked
along. 1t was beautiful autumn
day and many Rosh Hashonah
worshippers were traversing the
circuitous river banks hemmed
with thick woods, resplendent in
the autumn foliage. Uncle Ben
somehow felt like autumn. He
was a bachelor, getting on in
years and the changing of the
season seemed to have a special
message to him. It seemed to
him he too was leaving spring
and summer behind and, with
the Fall already on, the winter
of life could not be far away.
AS he was musing thus, he
spied Matilda approaching, walk
ing alone. Spring was leaving
her by too, yet he thought he still
saw in her much beauty. Who
shall say, he said to himself, that
she is not even more beautiful
than in her youth. Who shall say
that spring is more beautiful than
autumn? All is green, beautiful
green, in spring, but autumn has
a richness of color that takes the
breath away.
Il suppose" said Matilda as
they met, that you are bound
whittier I am bound nowhere.
Just enjoying the beautiful
walk"
"On the contrary" replied Ben,
Il am taking this young man to
tashlich-to throw his load of
sins away"
A young man like him could
hardly have big load" smiled
Matilda.
us that so? Danny interrupted
Indignantly. II bet 1 have more
sins than my uncle. He is
stodgy old fellow. He doesn't sin.
When he comes home, he Just
gets his pipe and reads the news
paper. He doesn't sin no more
than a cat"
Uncle Ben smiled. "You know
think Danny has something
there. really don't have to ask
much forgiveness. 1 haven't
robbed a single bank this year
and as for murders, I don't re-
member the time 1 committed
one. In fact, as Danny said, / am
just quiet DOPE"
But" objected Matilda, Il am
afraid you have already forgot
ten what the rabbi said in his
sermon this morning. He said
that, according to Judaism, there
were two kinds of sins; the sins
OF omission as we'll as of COM
mission. He said the sages of
the Talmud held that on Judg-
ment Day God will hold us ac-
countable for the joys that we
should have availed ourselves Of
and did not as well as for the
positive evil we have commit
ted"
Uncle Ben looked deeply into
the liquid eyes of Matilda and
then, placing his arm around her

fourth Of his victories were by
knockouts. He had lost only Z
of his 81 professional bouts before
his fatal fight with Percy Bassett
two nights ago. Only one of those
defeats was by a knockout-and
that a technical knockout.
He lost to Lightweight Cham
pion Ike Williams by a TKO last
February IT after a fight on short
notice in New York. He was still
on his feet, however, when the
referee stopped the bout.
West first gained ring promi-
nence here in 1948 by winning
two of three fights with Balti-
more's Jimmy McAllister. then
regarded as a coming lightweight
contender. He also won two fights
that year from Herbie tBiff)
Jones, hard hitting Washing
tonian who also was showing some
promise. Two victories over
Stonewall Jackson of Washington
in 1948 helped Vests rise to ring
prominence.
This year West really had his
first touch of national recognition
and on the National Boxing AS
sociation's quarterly ratings an
nounced three months ago was
listed as an outstanding contender.
He had won this year over the
fading Sammy Angott. Ralph
Zanelli, Charley Salas and Eddie
Giasa.
