Alexandra Mayor Beverley
Decides Not to Be Candidate
Business Duties
Rule Out Race,
He ANNOUNCES
By Mory Lou Werner

Alexandria's colorful Mayor.
Marshall j. Beverley, who won
publicity for his city by claiming
old fire engines and fighting low
flying airplanes, today announced
he would not be a candidate for
reelection.
The Mayor said he was STEP
ping out of political Office to de-
vote more time to his business
and his family. He is vice pres
ident of the First and Citizens
National Bank in Alexandria.
In recent months, as the Janu-
ary 5th deadline for council
candidates approached, one Of
the most popular topics Of con-
versation in Alexandria has been
speculation over the Mayors
plans.
He has been a frequent critic
of City Manager Ira Willard, but
insisted he was not perturbed
that other councilmen would not
go along with his suggestions or
with his pleas for Mr.. Wizards
resignation.
Blames Business Pressure.
Sincerely, it is only the pres
sure of business that causes me
to reach this decision" said the
mayor. In his prepared state
meht there was no mention of
animosity toward members of
council, who last July took the
mayor to task for his public
criticism of the city manager.
Mr.. Beverly became Mayor in
1852 by virtue of receiving the
largest number of votes in the
general Council election that
year. His successor will be
chosen by the same method when
all seven Council seats are filled
in the general election next June.
Before becoming Mayor, he
had been elected twice before as
member of City Council, be-
ginning with an unexpired term
in l948.
Theoretically, Alexandria has
a city manager form of govern
ment and the Office of Mayor
serves principally to provide the
city with a ceremonial head and
a presiding officer at Council
meetings.
Outspoken Mayor.
But Mr.. Beverley was not one
to let the Office fade into oblivion.
Always outspoken, he commented
on whatever he saw fit, when
ever he thought it was necessary.
He always has been a diligent
foe Of secret Council sessions, in
sisting that the people Of Alex
andria had a right to know
everything that went on at City
Hall.
Mayor Beverly's differences
with Mr.. Willard arose over the
latter's recommendation that
Alexandria needed an admins

The Giving Of the Law

it and give their loyalty and devotion that Jews
are separate nation with yet universal message
for all mankind.
In the Biblical era Shavuoth was an agricul-
tural festival and it was only in later times that
it was divorced from it's agricultural setting and
given the more sacred task of celebrating the
Sinaitic revelation In the Bible it is called yom
Habkkurim," 'day of the first fruits" and also
alag Hakatzir," feast of harvest" In Talmudic
times it was called "Atzereth" conclusion" be-
cause it marked the end of the barley harvest. To
this day the agricultural character of Shavuoth is
recalled when houses and synagogues are deco
rated on the holiday with branches of trees, flow
ers and various plants and various dairy dishes
are eaten. Bikkurim first-fruits offered in Is
rael today and then sold for the benefit of the
Jewish National Fund.
The connection of Shavuoth with Jewish edu-
cation goes back to medieval times. But in those
days the holiday served not to celebrate the end
of course in Jewish education, as is the case in
America today, but its beginning. In medieval
times Shavuoth was the day on which small chill
dren, at the age of four or five, were taken for
the first time to Hebrew school, where they would
be presented with honey covered cake on which
a Biblical verse was inscribed.
In modern times it was Solomon Eyer of Braun
schweig, Germany, who in 1881 first held confir-

Shavuoth is one of the most important holidays
on the Jewish calendar, as important as Passover
and Sukkoth, even if it is only two-day rather
than an eight-day festival. For it is the "zeman
mattan torathenu," "the time of the giving of our
law" the traditional anniversary of the revelation
from Mount Sinai.
On this holiday the Decalogue, the Ten Com
mandments, is read in all synagogues and Jews
are hidden to remember that it was on this day
that they received their religious constitution as
nation from God through Moses, just as on Pass
over was issued their Declaration of Independence
While Passover celebrates Jewish freedom, Jewish
liberation from bondage Shavuoth celebrates Jew
ish law, the consummation of that freedom, the
spiritual discipline which free, people must vol
UNFAIRLY assume if it is to survive.
How much significance is packed into this two
day observation-disclosures for our own day and
age The first, the basic, code of ethics which pres
ent-day Western civilization inherited is recalled
on this holiday Of Shavuoth. The reading of the
Book of Ruth in the synagogues on the second day
of the festival recounting the story of the Gentle
maiden who left her own people to link her des-
tiny with the Jews who married the Israelite Boaz
and out of whom sprang King David, is reminder
that Judaism is not narrow, racialistic religion,
that it welcomes those of other faiths who embrace
