Rotary Club Sponsors
Nursing Education
TchuIo Girl Receives
Training At Expense
OF LocuI Club

! The Lexington Rotary Club
voted Tuesday to sponsor the edu-
I cation of a Holmes county girl al
! the Baptist Hospital in Memphis
this fall and pay for the three year
period of nursing training which
she will complete to become a
graduate nurse.
/ Miss Betty Frances Wade, OF
Tchula, has been selected as the
J girl to receive her nursing training
| at the expense of the Lexington
club.
, This project was approved by
! the Rotary Club as a community
service in cooperation with the
! Holmes County Community Hos
! pital in Lexington. The Communi-
| ty Hospital has started a long
range program to assure an ade-
| quate supply of trained nurses in
the future for this hospital.
The project was presented to
the Club by Wilburn Hooker. 1t
has been approved by the Board
, of Directors of the Rotary Club.
This program of looking to the
| future for trained nurses has been
! made necessary by the present
critical shortage of graduate nurs-
ing personnel - a shortage ex-
pected to be even worse when the
, new 16-bed addition to the pres
ent hospital plant is completed In
/ approximately a year.
The hospital has contacted some

the education of other Holmes girls

Jewish New Year
Services To Be Held
Robbi Stanley kopIon
Will Arrive To
Conduct Services

The Jewish New Year, known
as Rosh Ha-shono, will be eele-
DRAFTED on September IL, and the
Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur,
on September 81. A student Rab-
bi from the Hebrew Union Col
lege of Cincinnati, Stanley Kap-
Ian, will arrive on Sunday, Sep
TENDER 10, to remain through both
holidays and conduct the services
Services in celebration of the
New Year will begin on Monday
night, September IL, at 1880 at
Temple Bethel. Tuesday SER
vices will begin at 1000 am. All
stores operated by Jewish mer-
chants will be closed on this day.
The New Year and the Day of
Atonement r the most solemn
days of the Jewish religious year.
They are celebrated on the LIST
and 10th days of Tishri, the sew
enth month of the lunar year.
They fall on September II and
September 81, 1850. This Jewish
year, Sill, is dated from the ira
ditional date of the creation of the
world.
The holidays begin al shutdown
of the preceding evenings, Sep
TENDER IL and September 20. The
Bible explains this custom of the
day beginning on the evening be-
fore in the first chapter of the
Book of Genesis where the text
reads: "And there was evening
and there vas morning, the first
day." The ten days between New
Year and the Day of Atonement
are known as the Days of Peni-
tence and the Sabbath that falls
between the two High Holy Days
is known as the Sabbath of Re-
~pentance. Orthodox and Conser-
vative Jews celebrate two days of
Rosh Ha-shono, namely the 18th
and 18th, while Reform Jews
celebrate only on the 18th.
The new moon was always a
sacred day in the life of ancient
Israel which was an agricultural
nation. The seasons were de-
pendant on changes of the moor
and the new moon was greeted
az a solemn festival celebrated by
special sacrifices, cessation of
work and the blowing of the Sho-
for or rams horn. The seventh
new moon was especially marked
as the New Year because of the
sacred number seven.
The New Year is celebrated in
the synagogues and temples, first
as a Day of Memorial when the
past is recalled, an inventory of
the present is taken and the flu
ture considered in the light of
possible Improvement, and second
rs a Day of Judgment when one
stands before the Supreme Judge
Of an the earth. 1t points to the
time when all Israel and the en-
tire world will recognize that ION
that day the Eternal shall be One
and His name shall be One" The
rams horn is blown in temples
and synagogues according to the
ancient custom Of Israel I.
