Lumber Shrinks

A piece Of green lumber eight
inches wide will shrink about a
Iquarter-inch after evaporation of
moisture. This doesn't sound like
much, but it can weaken the
structure Of a house when all the
lumber used for framing is
green. Lumber can be preshrunk
by air or kiln-drying at the
mill. When certain lumber is
grade-marked, the user is as
sured that it has been seasoned
or dried.

Franks. Bonfires and Burnings
in EffigY Common,
Franks have been common
during Purim. Among the oldest
of these were the bonfires and
burnings in effigy. During the
Middle Ages Purim was a COM
bination of Halloween, Fourth of
July and Valentines Day. DR.. j..
G. Frazer in his Golden Bough"
has expressed the view that there
is a connection between the
Purim bonfires and the primitive
spring and summer fires. The
theory was that if man will raise
artificial heat he would be assur-
ed plentiful natural heat from the
sun. By the same token, the
burning of an effigy was not done
out of malice or unfriendliness.
Rather, it was believed that
through the burning of friendly
diety the succor of the sun was
gained.
Israel Abrahams, in his book
1.-THE Book of Delight and Other
Papers" points out that the
Purim bonfire and the burning of
an effigy did not begin in the
Ghetto; it did not even emanate
in Europe, he said, but in Baby
lonia and Persia. DR.. Louis Gins
burg, the noted Talmudic scholar,
had uncovered an old Geonic ac-
count of which he wrote: ut is
customary in Babylonia and Elan
for boys to make an effigy re-
sembling' Hannah; this they sus-
pend on their roofs four or five
days before Purim. On Purim

against each other or stamp their

of Hannah was erased. This Gus
tom was begun by French and
German rabbis in the thirteenth
century, who based the practice
on the verse ''Thou shalt blot out
the remembrance of Amalek."
deuteronomy 25:19). They drew
their contention from the COM
mentary on. the verse found in
the Midrash which explains it to
mean "even from wood and
stone"
Hannah was a descendant of the
Amalekites, an ancient foe of
the Israelites. A barbarous desert
people, the Amalekites attacked
the Israelites during their journey
rom Egypt to Canaan. The as
sault was carried out in the form
of a sneak attack from the rear
and included wholesale massacre
of women and children. AS re-
suit, the Israelites were admon-
ished by Moses to blot out the re-
membrance of Amalek when the
opportunity would present itself.
Some years later, King Saul led
an expedition against Amalek,
but he did not fulfill the COM
mandments to utterly destroy
them. It was Saul's failure to
completely wipe out this ancient

ice. To this day the Megillah
reading is accompanied by bois-
ferrous stamping, clapping of
hands, rafting and Kissing at the
mention of Hannah and his sons.
There is even occasional whist
ling.
At times the boisterousness of
the congregants was so out of
bounds that synagogue leaders
called on the secular authorities
to restore order. An example was
the occurrence in the Spanish
Portuguese Synagogue in London
in 1888, when the secular author
tiles were called in to remove a
group which was beating kettle
drums each time the name of
Haman was mentioned.
A custom prevalent in the
Middle Ages was that of writing
the name of Hannah on stones or
upon the floor. Each time his
name was mentioned boys and
young men would hit the stones
