Pesuch
Holiday
To Begin

One of the oldest forms of
religious observance-Pass-
over-will be celebrated by
the Jews of Phoenix starting
this weekend.
In Jewish homes through
out the city, the inaugural
ritual of the First Seder,
with it's familiar question,
"What makes this night diff
ferent from all others?"
will be held Saturday even
ing.
The Passover observance dates
back to some $500 years. 1t be-
gan in the hoary dim past as fes-
tival of physical freedom-ai sort of
crude and primitive rite intended
to free men each year from the
devastationS of nature.
Mutations of Passover
1t later developed into a holiday
dedicated to social freedom, COM
memorating the liberation of the
Israelites from Egyptian slavery.
Finally it became festival of hui
man freedom, celebrating the prin-
ciples of liberty itself, of which
the liberation is but a symbol.
The long history of Passover has
had many changes and evolutions.
However, it has retained one fea-
ture from the eginning-that of
being a Jewish, family celebration.
Since the days in the desert of
Sinai until now, as American Jews
gather about their festive board,
it has been a festival which unites
all members of the family circle
at one table-at one happy feast.
To Live In Freedom
In joining together in family uni
ty, Jews observing the Seder re-
live and. share their collective
memories Of the heritage of Is
rael. They strengthen their hopes
to live as Jews and as free men.
This year a rare coincidence oc-
ours, marking once again a basic
similarity between Judaism and
Christianity. Easter of 1854 comes
on Sunday, the day after the be-
ginning of Passover. Actually, the
theologists point out, the Jewish
Passover, in modified form, be-
came the leading festival of the
Christian church, which is Easter
However, it is incorrect to speak of
Passover as the Jewish Easter, for
while Passover celebrates the de-
liverance of Israel from slavery,
Easter commentaries the death
and legendary resurrection of the
Christ.

. Q. What is a good after shampoo
rinse for blonde hair?
A. A level teaspoon of borax to
a gallon of water makes a good
one.
@. What advice can you give on
the tweezing of eyebrows?
A. Above all, keep them natural
looking! Tweeze only the stray
hairs that won't line up with the
natural arch. The brittle, artificial
look which comes from obviously
plucked eyebrows is no longer in
fashion. Strive for the natural
look"

Modern Trend
Group Launches
Town Meetings

NEW YORK, (GLOBAL)-- The
Modern Trend Group of the Har-
lem Branch Y.M.C.A. launched it's
first of a new series Of weekly
"ToWn Meetings." at the "Y" last
week, with a view to "acquainting
the community with pressing Soc
ial problems and awakening them
to act"
Vincent Baker, education direc-
tor of Modern Trend, addressed the
gathering and described the pro-
posed public forums as The ar
senal in which are fashioned the
weapons of fact and understand
ing, which make action effective"
Mr.. Baker went on to point to
the achievtments of many forum
groups which have been organized
in small communities. Among
those he noted were the winning
of young peoples support for al
lied causes such as the March on
Washington Movement, the United
Christian Youth Movement, and
the N.AA.C.P. 1.-The techniques of
free discussions" Mr.. Baker said,
must therefore be strengthened
and expanded SO that other good
things can be done"
Among the organizations re-
presented at the meetings were
the Methodist Lay Council, the
BTU. of Mount Calvary Church,
the Womans Society of Christian
Service of Salem Methodist
Church, the James Weldon John
son Council, the Young Adult Eel
lowship of Abyssinian Baptist
Church, and the Harlem Branch
Y.M.C.A. All participating organi-
cations will have an equal voice in
the organizations affairs in the
future.
Among the outstanding personal
tiles who have participated in
former Modern Trend programs are
Congressman Joseph Clack Bald
win, Radio Commentator, Fulton

son; Historian j. A. Rogers; Her

Another similar example is to
be found in the story of Mrs. r.
S. who has been a factory worker
for a good many years and whose
take home pay, it would be same to
estimate, averages $50 a week.
Lately, however, she works only
six months year, and spends the
other six months in her home in
Italy. In order to be able to take
a six months vacation every year
while she lives and works in New
