Jewish women in this country rep
resent AZ per cent of the to ia l
contributors to Jewish federations,
welfare funds, and community
councils and raise IL per cent of
the total monies contributed, it
was reported here at Women'S
Division Institute arranged by the
Council of Jewish Federations and
Welfare Funds.
Participating n the Institute
were leaders of the Women's Di-
visions of the Jewish federations
and welfare funds in Buffalo, Ro-
chester, Syracuse, Toronto a n d
Montreal.
THE ROLE of women in Jewish
communal service was widely dis
cussed at the conference, as were
persistent problems in Embarrassing
campaigns among women. Other
problems discussed included CAM
paign organization, techniques for
evaluating campaigns, up-grading
and soliciting big gifts, and year
round education as tool in cam
paigns. Mrs. David Lipsky, of Ro-

Support Urged
For PurochiuI
School Aid

NEW YORK, (JTA) - A lay
Catholic leader and expert on con-
stitutional law asserted here this
week that Jews were in error in
opposing Federal aid to religious
education because such education
was "the best guarantee" against
religious and racial injustice.
William B. Ball, executive direc-
tor of the Pennsylvania Catholic
Welfare Committee and a consti-
tutional lawyer, also urged Catho-
lies to remember "there has never
been a history of anti-Semitism"
in the United States.
He expressed the opinion that
Jews oppose public aid to religious
schools because they fear they
would be left alone in weakened
public schools abandoned by Pro-
testantS and Catholics for their
own religious schools bolstered by
such aid. He expressed SkepticiSm
about the possibility of wholesale
transfers from public schools to
such private schools.

School Offers
Hebrew Units

Hebrew courses will start this
fall for the first time in the his
tory of West Virginia University
in Morgantown, w. Va, as a regu-
lar part of the curriculum, it was
announced by Seymour Bales,
president of the w Virginia
Council of B'nai Birth.
After almost a year of planning
and discussion between University
officials and the officials of the
B'nai Birth Hillel Foundation, a
final agreement was reached to in
stitute the Hebrew courses.
The continuous rise in the num-
Der of Jewish students attending
the school, plus their demand for
the course, as well as the active
program carried out by the Hillel
Foundation, were the prime factors
in getting the courses approved.
Rabbi Herbert A. Wilmer, direc-
tor of the Hillel Foundation, h S
been appointed by the University
officials to teach the courses.

mittee were Max Levine, L u S

Dixie System
AT Dead Sea
Works Slated

NEW YORK (JTA)-A $25, ,OOO-
600 contract for construction of a
dixie system at the Dead Sea Works
in Sdom, Israel, was awarded by
the Dead Sea Works, Ltd, to three
American firms. The American
companies are Kaiser Engineers
and Constructors of Oakland, Calf,
Construction Aggregates Corpora
ton of Chicago, and the Macco
Corporation, Paramount, Calf.
Announcement of the contract,
signed in Israel, was made in New
York by the Government of Israel
Investment Authority for N o h
America. The Authority reported
that when the dixie system is COM
pleted in 1865, potash production
will be increased from the present
annual level of 100000 tons to
nearly 100000 tons.
An authority spokesman reported
that approximately SO per cent of
the total volume is intended for ex-
port, and will make Israel one of
the worlds principal exporters of
this material. He also noted that
the foreign exchange to be earned
by this increased export will re-
duce Israers annual trade deficit
by some $20,000,0O0.

Those communities which could
not utilize such signals. such as
Egypt, Asia Minor and Greece,
were left in doubt as to the exact
day of the beginning of the month
and consequently celebrated two
days as the new moon and for each
festival.
Even after calculations eliminat-
ed the need for signals and a def
mite calendar was established by
reckoning rather than by observing
the appearance of the new moon,
the practice of observing two days
instead of the single day of Shaw
uot, and at the beginning and end
of Passover and Succot, is still
kept in communities outside of
Palestine.
IN TIME, religious prosecutions
suffered by the Jews made it all
but impossible to carry on h e
practice of fixing the start of each
month by methods based on obser-
walton and communication, and def
mite calculations had to be made
to establish a fixed calendar which
would fix the dates of festivals
years in advance. Thus the observ-
ance of the holidays was neces-
sari1y made independent of a func-
tioning Sanhedrin and readily
available to the scattered Jewish
communities throughout the world.
This was achieved in the fourth
century of the Common Era.

Women Comprise ~ Per Cent
Of Gifts To Welfare Funds

in Jewish communal service, Mrs.
Beatrice Finkelstein, secretary of
the National Committee on Wom-
ems Communal Service, pointed
out that one of the functions of her
committee is to gather experiences
from local Jewish communities,
analyze them and indicate trends.
In doing so, it helps to improve
and strengthen women's communal
service.
"WOMEN," Mrs. Finkelstein
said. "are an important force in
the world today - in industry, in
business, in professions, in finance,
in politics. Twenty-Five million wo-
men are represented in 446 differ
ent occupations; they represent 81
per cent of all stockholders, and
two million more women voted than
did men. In the Jewish community,
Jewish women raise IL per cent of
the total monies raised by the Jew
ish welfare funds and represent AZ

world, and the effect which h
latter can have on our freedom to
practice our religion, is pointed up
by current attempts at calendar
reform under consideration by the
Ecumenical Council convoked in
Rome by Pope Plus XIII.
The Vatican proposal provides
for the Incorporation of blank or
"nameless" day each year and
quarterly arrangement of dates
which would result in all dates
perpetually falling on the same day
of the week. A major motivation
is the desire of Catholic religious
leaders to have Easter Sunday oc-
cur on the same day each year.
The effect on Jewish religious
life, however, would be chaos. The
Jewish Sabbath would fall on diff
ferent day each year, rather than
just on Saturday. The Sabbath-ob-
servant Jew would then find him.
self in an extremely difficult posi-
ton in the business world.
WHILE HEBREW calendar reck-
oning dates back to Biblical times,
it was the establishment of h
Christian solar calendar that in
tensified the need for a separate
Hebrew system. Curiously, it was
the determination of the date of
Easter that played a major role in
Christian calendar reform and its
relationship to Jews.
Although the two systems differ
in that the Christian calendar is
based on solar year and the He
brew calendar on a lunar one,
the date of Easter is still fixed
according to the moon. At h e
Council of Nice, in 325 C. E., the
Christian religious leaders intro
duced a change which, while still
reckoning Easter according to the
moon, prevented it from coinciding
with Passover.
On the other hand, the Hebrew
calendar, which begins each month
with the appearance of the n w
moon, must also depend on solar
reckoning in that the 18th of the
month of Nissan (the first day of
Passover) was never to occur be-
fore the vernal equinox - a solar
phenomenon.
THUS, THE Hebrew calendar
consists of IL months of either 29
or 30 days with the addition of a
18th month before Nissan, if IN e
vernal equinox would not occur
by the 18th of the month. Accord
ing to this method, the two calen-
dars (Christian solar and Hebrew
lunar) approximately coincide
every 10 years.
The Hebrew months at first were
established entirely by observation
of the appearance of the new moon.
This involved the presentation OF
witnesses before the Sanhedrin
who testified that they actually saw
the new moon. The entire schedule
of festivals during the year, then,
hinged on the establishment OF the
beginning of the month of Nissan
when a decision could be made as
to whether the extra month should
be added. This decision was then
transmitted to outlying Jewish
communities.
The difficulty in communicating
the fact that the new moon had
appeared and new month had be-
gun, gave rise to custom of Jew
ish festival observance which has
survived the ancient methods of
establishing dates.
AS SOON AS the new month was
established, this fact was COM
municated to the Jewish inhabi-
tants at some distances by means
of fire signals which were carried
from station to station through
mountains.
