after the wedding ceremony? If
SO. why is this done? IL. S.. Sara
sofa, FIa.)
ANSWER: Yes, such custom
is mentioned in a few sources.
The famous 'Tashbatz" consider
ed this an omen of plenty. A
source for this custom is traced
to the Talmudic statement which
claims "He who does not have
wine spilling in his house like
water is not included in bene-
dictions" (Talmud Babli, Tract
ate Erubin 68). It is we'll known
that many symbols used at we'd
dings are used as omens of
plenty. Thus, such fruitful grains
as wheat and rice are customar-
lily thrown at the bride and
groom. This is also the reason for
the modern trend of throwing
confetti which might be taken as
a symbol for grains of plenty.
The Talmud mentions that
wine was run through pipes be-
fore the bride and groom and
that nuts and sweets were
thrown at their feet. Some
sources claim that pouring the
wine stemmed from a time when
the wedding benedictions were
made over glass goblets and that
the residue of the wine was pour
ed on the floor and the very glass
of benediction broken in the Gus
tomary conclusion to the cere-
mony. Today, when metal COB
lets are used, a glass is broken;
but among some sects the wine
is still poured as a token of
plenty and achieving the Lords
blessing of 'My cup runneth
over" (Pslam: 23), as it was ex-
pressed by King David.

was guest speaker at a regular
meeting of the Juneau Rotary Club
at the Baranof Hotel this noon.
He spoke on how best university
could reach all parts OF a state or

was essential to maintain central

are vital part of the educational
process.
He did not feel that at this time
Alaska had sufficient population
to maintain another college but
suggested that seeds could be
planted that would eventually lead
to three branches in Ketchikan,
Juneau and Anchorage by MAIN
tanning two or three rotating faculty
members in each community to give
the courses most desired in culture
and vocational training, with credit.
AS population and demand war
ranted it, these facilities could be
expanded to meet the needs.
