Jewish New Year
Bat Jakes
there would not be funds available. The
comptroller's estimate was so ridiculous
in terms of actual receipts that his office
has lost a lot of prestige in the eyes of
Texans.
Is Solemn Rite
Jewish people observe the New
Year at a different date and with
more religious solemnity than is
associated with the Christian New
Year.
Rosh Hashana, the name of Jew-
ish New Year’s day, may occur any-
time between September 5 and
October 5. It is one of the highest
of Orthodox holy days and opens
a period of penitence, prayer and
charity which lasts until Yom Kip-
pur, ten days later. Yom Kippur
means -Day of Atonement.
Traditionally, Yom Kippur was
set apart as a day of atonement by
Moses and elaborate ceremonies
solemnized its observance until the
offering of sacrifices was aban-
doned after the destruction of the
Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A. D.
In modern times, no other Jew-
ish fast day or festival is as gen-
erally and religiously observed.
Services in the synagogues begin
in the evening of the preceeding
day and are continuous until sunset
on the day itself. The souls of the
dead are included in the commu-
nity of those pardoned on the Day
of Atonement, and it is customary
for children to have public mention
made of their deceased parents and
to make charitable gifts on behalf
of their souls.
There is, reportedly, a Book of
Life wherein the name of every liv-
ing creature is written. This Book
is sealed annually on Yom Kippur.
This is the reason for the customary
Jewish New Year greeting, “May
you be inscribed for a happy New
Year.”

REAPPOINTED AS REGENT
When Gov. Beauford Jester telegraphed
the Herald Editor that he was reappoint-
ing him for a six-year term on the Board
of Regents of the University of Texas, it
was with mixed emotions that the message
was received.
After service of more than four years,
a Board member can have no illusions. He
knows of the demands that will be made
upon his time month in and month out.
This writer estimates that it has taken
close to one-fourth of his time and thought
during these years to serve the State of
T exas.
The problems of one of the nation’s
largest universities are many and there is
always something that a Board member
can be doing to serve the institution. As
one serves year after year, he cannot keep
from having increasing pride in the de-
velopment of the University of Texas, the
finest in the South, and one of the top
universities in the nation.

Six New Year’s days in a year?
Certainly—absurd as it sounds it’s
true. Here they are:
1. January 1.
2. In that part of the Occident
wherein the Greek Orthodox faith
prevails January 1 falls upon our
January 13.
3. A traditional Chinese New
Year’s celebration starts February
8 and lasts to February 13.
4. If you happened in on the
country of Siam, April 1, you’d find
a great ceremonial festivity under-
way-nothing less, in fact, than New
Year’s.
5. In Arabia, the Mohammedan
New Year’s is celebrated Septem-
ber 4.
6. September 10 is New Year’s in
the ancient country of Abyssinia.
New Year’s day has been observed
for the last 500 years. Nearly every-
where and at all periods it has been
a day of rejoicing.

The day starts with a rosy glow
when corn meal Batty Cakes are
on the breakfast table. These little
corn meal pancakes are crisp and
delicate, but hearty enough for a
he-man breakfast. Serve Batty
Cakes with sausage or bacon, and
honey — and you have a breakfast
or light supper that’s tops with the
whole family.

LEGISLATIVE DOLLARS
The Texas Legislature will begin work
m a few days and the biennial tug of war
■will begin for the dollars available from
the state of Texas.
Education, both secondary and colleg-
iate, will need more funds because of in-
creased enrollment and problems not sol-
ved or delayed due to the war.
The need for highways is always with
us. Many of our main highways are not
in keeping with today’s traffic and there
is demand to build farm to market roads.
Also, the state has its hospitals, schools
for the handicapped, prison system and
other activities needing adequate support.
In the Panhandle of Texas, the citizens
trust that the Legislature will give con-
tinued support to our. only state institution
of higher learning, West Texas State Col-
lege of Canyon.
Allied with that institution is the Pan-
handle-Plains museum, located on the col-
lege campus. To that museum tens of thou-
sands of dollars of voluntary gifts from
citizens of Texas have been given.
The museum should be given additional
funds to complete the second unit. The
measure passed the last legislature, but
the comptroller made a wild guess that
May that be
your lot in the
coming year.
THE HOOVER REPORT
The Hoover commission report on hos-
pitals and medical services for the armed
forces is not encouraging. It seems that
the American people have been taken
for a ride with unnecessary facilities and
with no cooperation between the Army,
Navy and other military units for efficient
use of hospitals and physicians.
The report accuses the government of
using more doctors than are needed, thus
making it impossible for many communi-
ties to have physicians and dentists.
Such waste and inefficiency are not only
expensive, but they are unfair to millions
of people who live in communities unable
to get decent services for protection of
health.
