The feast originally marked the beginning of the agricultural and economic year in Palestine, but gradually developed into a type of judgment day. The occasion begins a ten-day period of penitence, cul- minating in Yum Kippur, the Day of Atonement. Today members of the Jewish community are extending warm New Year's greetings to their friends and associates in the city.

All Grand Climax Was Draw For Prizes Night Last Saturday saw the conclusion of the annual Kiwanis Karnival, and for the second night in a row Oshawans show- ed their desire to assist the charitable work of the Kiwanis large numbers at the Oshawa Attractions were not lacking at® the Karnival, ag the people con- gregated around booths to try their luck, have their fortunes told, or their palms read. There was a shooting gallery for the proud marksmen, and a special "nickel booth" for the youngsters who have to pinch pennies. Ring-Toss Tricky "Trickier than you think" was the | verdict of spectators in front of al ring-toss booth, where several were | trying, with only moderate success, to drop a wooden ring over the neck of a yellow-tinted bottle. That ring just would not obey orders--or | could it be your aim? [ For those who favored palmistry | or horoscope reading, there were | "world-wide experts" to bring the future into the present, and to warn of black cats, stepladders, and the Ides of March. | One of the best parts of the whole | show, -and one of the most popu- | lar, was the appearance of the Osh- awa Clown Band, in "civilian life" all members of the Oshawa Regi- mental and Civic Band. The bands- men, from bass drummer to sousa- phonist, were laughing just as hard as their audiences, as they vivisect- ed any and all sorts of musical only to the famous Spike Jones. | Members of the cast of the Ki- wanis-sponsored presentation of "The Mikado" missed no bets in the way of ticket sales, as six pretty "Japanese" maidens were present at the fair in full costume to tempt passing Oshawans into purchasing ducats. Members of the Oshawa Kinsmen Club were glad to lend a hand to their Kiwanis brethren, and a re- freshment booth dispensing typical carnival fare was manned entirely by Kinsmen. Grand climax to the 1948 Kiwanis Karnival was of course the draw for the handsome array of valuable | "attendance prizes", which was con- | ducted shortly before midnight, by Oshawa Kinsmen Club President, Phil. Holloway. Thanks Public for Support President "Shorty" Reynolds of | the Kiwanis Club voiced apprecia. | tion to the public for their support of the Karnival and assured the | citizens that the money raised by the Kiwanis would as in the past, be spent on worthy projects for the benefit of the community. He then introduced Kinsmen Phil. Holloway, who made the draw for the prizes, which resulted as follows: No. 8930, B. Evendon, 733 Rowena St., Oshawa, (automatic toaster); No. 2623, Ed.

This is a completely mobile workshop repairing all types of equipment from tanks and guns to radios, compasses and watches. Included in the workshop is a section recovery section, equipped and trained to transport tanks that cannot be repaired on the battle= field. All R.C.EEMM.E. officers are train- ed electrical or mechanical en- gineers, and all men are craftsmen in some type of trade. Some of these are: Breakdown drivers, mo- tor mechanics, gunsmiths, black= smiths, welders, instrument me-= chanics, radio mechanics, carpene ters and electricians. R.CEME. men are referred to as craftsmen, not privates as in the infantry. The workshop includes a Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps stores section, that carries spare parts in trucks. The proper classification and care of parts alone requires a large group of trained technical | storemen. There are still vacancies for most skilled trades and two types of men are required, skilled trades= !men who are willing to use their knowledge in the service of their country by training others, and young men who would like part time army service, and at the same time would like to gain instruction and practical experience in a trade. 'Jewery Marks New Year 5709 | | Toronto, Oct. 4 (CP).--As a New | Year, 5709, began today for the world's Jews, Toronto Rabbis in New Year's eve sermons said the | world stands at a crossroads. | Rakbi Reuben Slonim said that present fear of Russia should serve as a stimulus "to make our own democracy so superior that the fear of her will fall away. We can make our fear of Russia a tre- | mendous opportunity for faith in our own way of life." Rabbi David Monson said the new year shculd mark a turning | point, turning out "the old selfish- | ness and hates and greeds . . . cruel { materialism and the worship of false gods." "A world-wide spiritual revolution against bungling, callous, immature misleadership has become the pri- mary need of this hour if mankind is to survive," said Rabbi Abraham L. Feinberg.

Rewey, the Republican norinee for the United States Presidency in the Nov, 2 gen- eral elections. At that time, Dewey instructed the State's power authority to ne- gotiate wilth Ontario on the pro- 1'osed power development, The two would share the cost and benefits. His action followed United States congressional refusal to pass legis- lation that would have authorized not only construction of the power project but which would have pro- vided a 27-foot deep channel--for ocean shipping -- from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic, Before the proposed power devel- opment can become a reality, ap- proval by the International Joint Commission is also required. The [? commission, which regulates the use of international boundary waters, is composed of United States and Canadian members. The project, involvi: construc- tion of a dam and power houses, would be located in the Interna- tional Rapids section of the river-- between Massena and Ogdensburg, N.Y. . Engineers estimate that the river, at the latter point, can generate an annual total of 2,200,000 horsepower. This would make available to each New York and Ontario an annual yield of 6,300,000 kilowatt hours of energy. Both New York and Ontario have said repeatedly that each is in press. ing need of the added power. Petitions to intervene in the case NORTH AMERIC ny his is one of W amily sey eid >
