QUESTION: Why is it custom
arY to extinguish the Havdalah
candle on Saturday night by
pouring some of the left over
wine in a dish and dousinq the
candle in the wine?
ANSWER: The "Levush" claims
that this was means of signify
ing that the candle had not been
lit for ordinary use and so it is
not extinguished as an ordinary
candle is extinguished. A candle
that was lit for a mitzvoh was
usually not extinguished and was
allowed to burn out to the end.
In the case of the Havdalah can
die where practically calls for it
to be extinguished after use, the
dousing of the candle was per-
formed with the wine to stress
its special significance. Also, it
served to afford some use for the
wine that was left over in the cup
after drinking to indicate that
even the leftover elements of an
object which was used for Mitz-
voh should have some significant
purpose. Furthermore, the contact
between the liquid of pleasure
and the candle of enlightenment
may be a means of unifying the
element of the Havdalah.
QUESTION: Why do some peo-
pie put their fingers to this wine
after it has been used to douse the
candle and then touch fheir eyes.
the back of their ears. the almond
bone (nut of the spine) and the
pockets?
ANSWER: The general reason
given for this is that it is done to
indicate how dear the mitzvah is
to us. Others have felt that this is
means of healing for the eyes
which tend to become damaged
from excessive hurry during the
week. The same applies to the
back of the ears. The almond bone
at the top of the spine g consider
ed the part of the body which is
not destroyed in the grave and
from which the resurrection of
the individual will begin. Placing
the wine~in the pockets is means
of signifying our hopes that our
income will be- good during the
coming week.

Considering the great popularity

foreign policy at a critical period
in our foreign relations and with a
dangerous potential enemy clearly
apparent.
Then came the note of Premier
Bulganin, indorsing the Stevenson

indorsing Stevenson. This threw
Mr. Stevenson, temporarily at

Nothing else has. The health

OCdE GlANCLs
You don't know my impetuous
young daughter Carol who is just
six years old and is starting her
first year of school this term
You haven't been privileged to
see how she can turn suddenly
from eager enthusiasm to solemn
unconcern to youthful wisdom. No,
you couldn't know her or love
her as l do-that's why it seems
strange that l will soon have to
trust her very life to you.
Yes, to you-because in short
while she will march off to school
regularly. She'll be crossing streets,
playing along the way and around
the school. l hoped l was pre-
pairing her when threw in some
free advice about the safe way to
do these things-in answering her
questions about all the wonders of
the first grade. But this is pretty
new to her and she may make mis-
takes. Carol isn't irresponsible,
yet she is not responsible. For her,
the crushing dangers of traffic are
not real. I can tell her, but it
would be like describing the Giant
in the story of Jack and the Bean
stalk.
But you know, and you can
watch out for her. You can watch
for her as she plays on the way
home from school and you could

/ use caution when you see her
ready to cross the street. You can
be ready to stop if she should dash
out from behind a parked car or
follow a rolling ball into your
path. If you remember how dear
she is to me, you will drive slowly
through every school zone.
Since you have been granted the
privilege to drive, l have to as
sumo that you will do these things.
But will you? Will you drive care
fully wherever there are children,
not only because it is your legal
responsibility, but because you
care as much as l do that the
frightening roar of traffic death
of the Giant-never becomes real
for a little girl who has so much
ahead of her to learn?
Sincerely yours,
FATHER
P.S. Yes, this is my daughter
but it could be yours. And if you
are driver, Carol could be any
child you meet, boy or girl. What
ever you and your family choose
to imagine further, remember these
facts: It's "back-to-schoo" time,
and if you drive, it's time to start

ton wherever there are children.
