Ancient Cemetery
Found in Hoifo

An ancient burial ground with
three skeletons, believed to be
about $500 years old has been
discovered in the Kishon a4ea, it
was announced recently by Abba
Khoushy, Mayor of Haifa, and
Mr.. A. Rosh, curator of the Haifa
museum. In one grave, num-
Der of large pottery jars were
found. Some of the jars had COW
ers, and, it is suggested, may have
originally contained food for the
dead.
The graveyard, of the Late
Bronze Age, stretches over sew
eral dunams. Two graves were
found one and three quarter kilo-
meters apart, which suggests that
settlement of the area was extern
sive. The skeletons are in reason
ably good condition. A large
bronze needle for netmaking, of
a design used today, was also
found on the site. It is believed
that the ancient inhabitants of
the area were fishermen.
The site, known as Tel Abu
Hawan, had been previously in
1922 excavated by r. w. Hamil-
ton, director of the Department
of Antiquities during the Manda-
tory regime. It was then found
that the upper stratum dates back
to the Hellenistic Period of the
third to second centuries bee,
and that the area was not inhabit..
ed after that period.

Questions and Answers On Judaism

"dry, sunny mount" The word
may be associated with a similar
root meaning ito mark" A heap
of stones or a stone would some
times be set as a mark. Similarly
a mountain, especially Mount
Zion, the highest in the area,
would certainly be landmark.
QUESTION: What is the deri-
walton of the term Bible?
Answer: Our English word Obi
BILE" comes from the Latin bib
liza" which means ''books::" Origi-
nally the term bible meant any
book. Later, it was used only for
the Holy Scriptures. 1t is most
interesting to note that the Latin
term "biblia" comes from the
Greek "biblos" which denotes the
inner bark of the papyrus from
which we get the Greek term
''biblion' which is the name for
the rolled sheet used in writing.
This is interesting because our
"Torah" additionally comes IN
rolled" parchment form. One

QUESTION: What is the origin
of the expression "Bar-Mitzvah?"
Answer: The expression as such
seems to be of Talmudic origin.
In the Ethics of the Fathers it is
stated that thirteen-year-old
boy is responsible for "Mitzvoth."
The type of ceremonial that be-
came customary may have ap-
peared at a later date. It is gen.
orally assumed by traditional
sources that the ceremonial dates
from the Gaonic period. By the
thirteenth and fourteenth century
it was already we'll established
custom. It must be stated, Of
course, that the highly elaborate
extravagances of today's Bar
Mitzvahs can hardly be attributed
to the old customs. Essentially
there were two major parts of the
ceremony. One was the first "ali-
yoh" the boy had in front of the
Torah. The other was the bene-
diction recited by the father.

QUESTION: What is the deri.
walton of the term "Zionism?"
Answer, The term ''Zionism" is
the name assigned to the move
ment which took as it's goal the
re-establishment of the Jewish
Homeland in Palestine. At least
that is, or was, it's colloquial con-
ception. The term was adapted
from the Psalms where the Psalm
list speaks of the return unto
Zion" Zion, in its Biblical con-
text, generally refers to the hill
on which Jerusalem was built by
King David. The term originally
probably was used to indicate
''hill" or mount" particularly

What Does Equal Rights Mean:

passage because too many peo-
pie confused it with legislation
OF the other two types.
The National Council of Cath
Ollie Women, together with other
national organizations, has con-
sistently opposed the Equal
Rights Amendment. The Council
sees in such a blanket" legisla-
ton a false solution of the prob
lens of discrimination because
of its false assumption that men
and women are identical and
hence should receive identical
treatment" The Meow gives
frank recognition" to the fact
that although men and women
are equal in their personal dig
nifty they are nevertheless diff
ferent," and that respect should
be had for "the characteristic
which nature has given each"
Organizations that oppose the
Equal Rights Amendment charge
that ii would wipe out large
number of legislative gains ted
iousiy won by women over a long
period of time. and would sub
stitute nothing as valuable IN
their stead. Proponents of the
amendments claim that its
broad effect would cover the
net gains lost. and, if it did not,

by the generosity OF the American GI IN coming to

the English indicated that maybe they had been
wrong in their thinking about the Gls.
The story Of the American military boy who
saved more than IS English citizens from the

Opponents of the Equal Rights
Amendment say it would not
protect the rights already won;
that it would not even insure
equal pay for the equal work,
v hich is now being sought by
separate legislation. They point
loo, to the fact that when it was
sought in the 82nd Congress to
amend the proposed Constitu-
tionaI Amendment to provide
specifically that it would not do
away with any protective legis-
lation and social security bene-
fits then enjoyed by women, the
effort came to naught. The pro-
ponents Of the Constitutional
Amendment vigorously opposed
the precautionary amendments
to it, claiming that then the
Amendment would mean nothing.
The National Council of Ca
tholic Women is fully in favor of
legislation calling for women to
receive equal pay for equal work.
Backers of the Equal Rights
Amendment are asserting high
hopes for its passage in this
Congress. Because of the prom
inence legislative proposals af-
fecting women are expected to
kave in coming months, intelli-
gent discussion will demand that
the differences between the types
of legislation are we'll understood.

caused storm of disapproval on
the other side. He implied that
the French had become such a
Goddess lot that there was scant
hope for anything in the way
of moral resistance among them.
Now, it is quite true that no
single situation in Europe is
harder to explain than the relig-
ious and spiritual status of
France. | have tried to do it in
articles here and there, not to
mention lectures, and am not
particularly happy with tn re-
suits. 1t is full of pitfalls, sub
tleties and nuances. The shadings
are so numerous that a pithy
summary in few lines is quite
out of the question.
Not The One Rotten Apple
The factors that have under
mined the moral fiber of France
are numerous. But they are by
no means exclusively French.
The statement of our own Bish-
ops last November, calling at
tention to the state of things in
the United States, was a fairly
clear and unequivocal warning
about the sorry situation in
which we find ourselves. France
IS by no means the one rotten
apple in the barrel, the one to
be singled out for specific con-
demnation for turpitude.
The French spiritual problem
is part of that of continental Eu-
rope in general, and is the pro-
duct of everything that has hap
pened since the French Revolu-
ton Secularism, socialism, lib
eralism, invasions, occupation,
spoliation, and the moral de-
preston of defeat are all contrib
uting factors which, in their en-
tirety, make one marvel that
France should not be in a still
sorrier state.

Cold War Victory

Although the New York Federal Judge knew
his suggestion was illegal, it very, very inter

1t is not possible to deport native American

INQUIRY CORNER
What Is The Key
To Lenten Season?

Q. What is the key TO under
standing Lent?
A. The masses of the season
are an excellent guide to the
true meaning of Lent. 1t is i'm
portant too to realize that it was
in the early Church time dedi-
Gated in a special way to the
preparation of catechumenS for
baptism and of penitents for alb
solution. 1t should be regarded
as q time of retreat for all of us,
renewing our baptismal inno-
cence and making reparation
for our sins. AS the hymn at
mathis says: 'Henceforth more
sparing let us be of food, or
words, of sleep; henceforth be-
meath stricter guard, the row.
ing senses keep"
Q. Can old, used religious ar
ttcLeS be throtDn dWdy-Such as
medals, pictures or prayer
books?
A. If the object is blessed as
the medals likely would be they
should not be thrown away. The
accepted practice for dispoSing
of sacramentals when they are
not longer able to be used is to
burn them. If this is not pos
sible or practical they may be
buried.
Q. May a nun 90 odck INTO
the tporId?
A. Under certain circumstanc-
es it is possible. Ordinarily
there is time enough in the pos
tulancy and noyitiate for a can
didate and the community TO
decide on her vocation. In ad-
dition it is generally a period
of five years or more before
anything but temporary (renew-
ed each year, VOWS are taken.
If it is clear however that the
person is in the wrong state of
life a release from them partial
ly or entirely is possible. No
nun or sister is ever kept from
the world by physical force. She
may not leave without appli-
cation for and reception of
formal release from her superb

WASHINGTON - A word of
caution ought to be spoken about
proposals now before 83rd Con-
gress having to do with the posi-
tlon of women in American life.
There could be lot of confusion
regarding them.
Projected legislation Of this
general nature falls into three
broad categories. First, the pro.

regard Third, a measure that
would give women equal pay with
men for the performance of
work equal to that done by men.
