Portable Power Saw Bridges
Distance of Shop From Job

ANY one who has used a power
saw of the stationary type knows
how much faster and more ac-
culate it is than a hand saw.
But there are times when such
a saw is not practical for certain
jobs. One example is when you
are finishing an attic a couple of
floors away from your table saw.
Another example is. on an out
door job. Still another is when
the wood is too large to be ma
nipulated safely in the confines
of a workshop.
It is for such tasks-and many
otherS-that the portable cleo
trio saw has no equal. You take
it where the cutting is to be
done. Also. many Of the better
portable power saws can be at
tached to bench for stationary
use if desired.
The size of a saw is rated by
the blade it will accept-usually
anywhere from 6 to 10 inches.
The 10-inch size is used mostly
by professionals.
When these saws first hit the
market some years ago, they
were difficult to handle and had
several weaknesses. Today. the
kind made by reputable manu-
facturers is a precision tool. 1t
has adjustments for depth of
cutting. for angle-cutting and
for many other special work as
signmentS that formerly could
be done only with stationary
saw equipment.
In using this type of saw the

BY Ben Levi

If you are history minded and
would like to re-enact usually
the events of the exodus, you
might first visit Elath, the Red
Sea port. What mystery lies in
this sea which the Israelites
crossed thirty centuries back?
What mystery still enfolds it?
Some foresee a new canal here
rivaling the Suez. The waters of
the Red Sea abound in exotic,
colorful fish. The fierce shark is
a denizen of its waters. When the
ISraelites fled from the Egyptians
did these sharks in front and by
their side offers no terrors?
How joyful must have been the
setting on land of Elath! Then
Moses sang, says Scripture.

lamb on Mt. Gerizim. There are
still some 200 of these ancient
Samaritans left who worship as
their sires Of old.
There are as many varieties Of
Seder and Passover ceremonial
as there are diverse groups of
Jews in Israel. The Yemenites
array themselves all in white for
the festival. Some Of the Oriental
Jews wear loose clothing symbol
izing the freedom idea of the
Passover festival. One interested
in observing Seder ceremonial
should remember that there is
only one Seder night in Israel,
the doubling up of holidays
which is common to the Diaspora
being absent there.

and slow of tongue broke forth
in raptures to God.
No wonder the "Shirat Yam"
the song of Moses at crossing the
Red Sea, has become one of the
settled ceremonies in the Pass
over observance in Israel. The
young people gather at the Sea
singing as their forefathers sang.
Nearby Elath are the copper
mines which are being worked
with the aid of Israel bonds.
Moses had told them about this
too. It is a land "out Of whose
hills thou shalt dig copper and
IRON"

mating the celebration of Pass

of the Israelites of old, will be
