Germany Sc already were listed

Only minor slides, which caused
no damage, were reported during
the night and colder weather
brought hope the snow movement
was letting up. A Vienna wealth

West Austria's average tempera
lures still were above normal and
there still was danger of more
avalanches.

Israel Film
Series On Tv

A TV series depicting cur
rent life in Israel can now be
seen every Tuesday at 1890
noon over KOPO-TV. For a
time the films were shown
Saturday evenings.
Well done, the films have
particular interest for persons
not too familiar with the new
State and are an education
for those concerned about
Israel.
Each film is a separate cpl
sode, covering such subject
matter as: the emigrant to Is
rael, life in transient camps
after arrival, resttlement in
permanent homes, effort to ir-
rigate the barren desert, the
growth of a new industry
fishing, and life in Jerusalem.

Arab Leader
Elected Mayor

TEL AVN (JTA)-Amin
JOujoura, former member of
the KneSSet and leader of an
Arab party affiliated with the
Mapai Party, was elected as
Mayor of Nazareth as several
parties within the all Arab
city joined to defeat a Com
muniSt bid for the mayOrali-
ty.
Mr.. Jourjoura, a member
of the Greek Ort h odoX
Church, was supported by
MoslemS and by Christians,
receiving eight of the fifteen
votes in the municipal coun-
Gil. Abdullah Farrah, a non
Communist who was support
ed by the Communists as a
candidate for the mayOralty,
received only his own vote
and that of the six Commun-
ist councillors.
This development is expect
ed to end the disorders in
Nazareth which followed on
the heels of a Communist vic
tory in the municipal elec-
tions two months ago, when
the party emerged with 40
per cent of the total vote. AT
forwards, there were several
demonstrations by anti-Com-
munists who broke up the
council meeting rather than
permit the election of a Com
munist mayor.

Fleming Street
Sermon Subject
lis Announced

If Thou wilt, Thou canst make
me clean'', text from Mark, is
the subject of the Reverend J. E.
Statham's Sunday morning address
at the Fleming Street Church.
These are the words of a man
who because of his contagious dis
ease has been banished from the
town to live as best he could.
1t seemed to him that no man
cared and that every one was fear
ful to come close and speak to
him. With his body in pain and his
mind confused in doubt, he often
wondered, does God even care for
me?
Sufferer healed
One day he heard Of Christ, the
great Physician, One that could
heal the body and speak peace to
the soul.
He came to Christ hesitant, fear
full and doubtful, yet desperate,
with this pathetic prayer, 'If Thou
wilt, Thou canst make me clean"
Now care and cure 60 hand in
hand and Christ touched him and
made him clean and whole again.
'The Heavens are Telling by
Beethoven, is to be sung by the
choir, and Mrs. Claude Sails, or
ganist will close with the Prelude,
"Marche Religieuse" by Chauvet.
laymen participate
At the evening service beginning
at 1880, Mrs. Sails will open the
worship hour with Bach's ''The
Forests Are At Rest" and Mr..
Statham will speak on "The Lay
men, Gods Labourers". Laymen of
the church will also take part.
The life of the church depends
upon the work of the consecrated
laymen. Men who through dedica-
ton and fervor, give of their time
to the building of the church in the
of God.
TIE choir will sing Wagner's
"When Night Involves the Sky,
and Mrs. Sails postlude will be

B'nai Zion Congregation To
Celebrate Holidays This Week

The congregation of B'nai Zion
will observe the last two days of
Succoth, the tabernacles holiday,
with services starting Monday
evening, October Is at 1880 follow
ed by service Tuesday morning
at 8 o'clock.
The memorial prayer in honor of
departed loved ones, Yiskor Mas
kir Nashamos, takes place some
time during the morning service
Tuesday.
Tuesday evening the Simchas
Torah celebration begins with serv-
ices at 7 o'clock. At the conclusion
of this service the marching a.
round the Holy Scrolls takes place.
In the Jewish religion this a joyful
occasion, meaning that the people
have accepted and believe in the
Torah, the five books of Moses in
the Bible.
This celebration is usually end
ed with party given by the ladies
of the auxiliary of the congrega-
ton.
No festival brings the Jewish
people in so close range with the
miracles of God as does Succoth,
the feast of the Lord.
Rabbi Abraham Schwartz, spiri-
tual leader of the local congrega-
ton, says, 1.-THE booths which we
put up in our yards are special for
this holiday. During the eight days
of the holiday, the natural decora-
ton of the booth formed by the
fruits and vegetables hanging in it
impresses on man the duty of be-
ing thankful for all the gifts of the
Lord to mankind. It also teaches
us a lesson that only a great pow
er that is above and beyond can
give mankind this for his benefit. I"
Many more things are connected
with the Succoth observance, such
as the wandering of the Children
of Israel in the wilderness for 40
years and the booths or tabernac-
les in which they dwaen AD

one appreciative of the great strid-
es of civilization since that time
back in the dawn of history.
Also the holiday recalls the Civ.
ing of the Commandments to Moses
during this era, and other occur
rences in the foundation of the He
brew faith much of which has been
copied by people throughout the
world.
Rabbi Schwartz hopes that In
connection with the festival, all
people will. pray together for peace
and the continuation of our democ-
racy and that all mankind will live
many more happy years to enjoy
the Succoth holiday.
