gogue and temple on this calorie-eSS day.
YOM KIPPUR is solemn even aWesome day,
yet may call it day of joy Also Certainly it had
something of this aspect in ancient Israel It was on
Yom Kppur that the young women of Israel would
gather to dance and the men looked on and sought
out their future mates. 1t was National Get Your
Husband Day. The young women dance and sang
the beautiful and the less So The latter would sing
the Biblical verse 'Vain is beauty and looks de-
ceiving but the woman that fears the Lord she shall
be praised"
If any of the guys looking on to find wife had
his eyes peeled for gal with bank roll he was apt
to be deceived for of the unique features OF this
Yom Kippur dance that the young women had to
appear in borrowed clothes. Marshall Field and John
Wanamaker and Macy didn't advertise clothes for
this great dance It forbidden to appear in ones
own clothes That put the poor girl and the rich on
an equal plane The men looking on knew they were
selecting the girl not the Clothes
AT THE CLOSE of the fast, there was big
meal It is MitZvah to eat well at the termination
of Yom Kippur. Coming back to your home at the
conclusion of the fast with the bride yeu selected that
day. to a big meal certainly made that day day OF
joy.
The Hasidim continue to mark the close OF Yom
Kppur fast with feast and dance.
The story is told or the Baal Snen lOV tIldC One
night at the conclusion of Yom Kippr, the new moon
which is supposed to be the omen of good things,
failed to appear and the Baal Shem Tow decided to
exercise his powers of concentration to get the moon
to show up He sat down and centered his mind. He
repeated the various Cabaistic formuae designed to
mystcally move the forces of Nature, but the moon
apparently made no move. Despondent, he picked
himself up and went to join his brother Hasdlm who
was preparing the feast at the end of the fast.
THE HASIDIM began to dance They asked the
Baa Shem to join them and the Hasidm whlrled
around the svery moon darted through the clouds
and shone ful-faced.
"What have not been able to accomplish by
concentration" said the Baal Shem Tov has been
accomplished by the joy of the Hasidm"

some ways to be Buddhist, Confu-
clan or Presbyterian, but to forego
Jewish cholent for that, seemed to be
requiring too great a sacrifice. That,
in essence, was Heine's argument.
Yom Kippur seems to disprove
Heine's thesis. Yom Kippur, on which
there is no eating at all, is the day
which rings the bell loudest in Jewish
life. Even the most Indifferent Jews

company. These she learned
from Nanette de Valois, who
moulded Sadler's Wells and who
personally chose Miss Franco to
undertake the formation of the
Canadian group.
I'VE don't rush." Miss Franco
says. I'VE want to be varied
and versatile, but we want much
more to be perfect in what we
do. Our repertory grows, but at
a rate consistent with disciplined
awareness of what We are doing.
We add new dances, classics and
contemporary, as we master the

Il am delighted" she says,
that money which, after all, is

sure such dancers as Lois Smith

could earn more in another
group. But they are content to
stay on a quieter road to per-

Amherst Fund HonOrs
Boston Librarian

Forbes Loan Fund has been
established at Amherst College
through the Gift of anonv-
nous friend in memory of the
late George w Forbes and his
wife Elizabeth Harley Forbes.
Forbes was born in Missis-
sippi in 1854. He transferred
to Amherst from Wilberforce
University, Ohio, in 1890 as
Junior After graduation in
1892, he followed Journalism
and later he became associat-
ed with the West End Branch
OF the Boston Public Library,
a FIRST" in such capacity,
and eventually he became Re-
ference Librarian before his
death in 1927.
Forbes is described as a dill
gent, conscientious man WHO
worked long hours for small
reimbursement, often on duty
at undesirable times. Keen and
active of mind, he became
the friend and counselor of
young and adult alike, helping
them find specialized material,
assisting them in their pro-
blemS, encouraging them to
greater intellectual curiosity.
The donor asks that the
Forbes Fund be made avail
able ito students in economic
need without regard to their
race, color, or creed" and
hopes it will be used whenever
possible to assist colored stud
entS at Amherst. Perhaps
he adds, future students at
Amherst College will be en-
couraged to strive even as
Mr.. Forbes did for the adj
vancement of minority oppor-
tunity and racial harmony as
a result of benefting from
this fund"
