Impressed by Visit to Bowmanville School Mrs. Reginald Bell Had Relatives in Timmins Last week The Advance had a reâ€" ference to the observance here of the Jewish New Year, and asked Rabbi Linder for explanation on certain points in regard to the Jewish New Year. Rabâ€" bi Linder was kind enough to answer all the questionsâ€"asked, and in addiâ€" tion has given the following interestâ€" ing review of the Jewish Calendar:â€" The Jewish Calendar The Jewish year consists of twelve months, as follows: Nisan ing approximately with April), Iyar (May), Sivan (June), Tammuz (July), Ab (August), Ellul (September), Tishri (October), Chesvan or Marchesvan (November), Kisley (December), Tebeth (January), Shebat (February), and In Timinins and district the Jewish people this week gave notable observâ€" ance to the Jewish New Year. The CEservance began at sundown on Sunâ€" day and continued * sundown on Tuesâ€" day. Monday being a statutory holiday ‘was of course chserved by all stores conducted by the Jewish people, but on Tuesday,; also, these stores were also clesed, on the latter day the reason beâ€" ing the observance of the Jewish New Year. The Jewish psople show their sincerity in the observaftce of this ocâ€" casi‘on by the closing of their stores and the suspension of all business that is not an absolute necessity or a work of mercy. It should be of interest to| all to note that the Jewish New Year has been observed for nearly 6000 years in all lands where the Jewish people may be found. Consequently, it makes all cther aniversaries appear comparaâ€" tively new and recent events. ‘Explanation of Jewish Calendar Given. General Interest . in Event Going Back Nearly Six Thousand Years.

If it were quiet night time and the bear unexpectedly apâ€" eared and started strolling around? Bear Wanders Around the Spruce Falls Paper Mill There is an apparent confusion in regard to the date of the Jewish New Year, which is observed in the month of Tishri, the first day of the seventh month, in view of the fact that Nisan is listed as the first ofâ€" the months in the Jewish Calendar. This is due to the fact that the Jewish people regard the first of Tishri as the traditional date of the Creation of the World, an appropriate anniversary for the beginâ€" ning each year of religious activities and interests. For other purposes the month of Nisan marked the beginning of the year, in accordance with the injunction in the Book of Exodus (XIIâ€"2). In the course of 19 years, there oc cur seven leap years, in each of which ancther month, called Adar Sheni or Second Adar, is added in order to proâ€" vide for the coincidence of the lunar with the solar system. Since the Jewâ€" ish year is based on the lunar system, consisting of 354 days in the year of twelve months of 29 or 30 days each, the lunar year tends to fall behind the solar year of 365%, days, to the extent of 114 days each ysar. The various festivals commemorating as they do Nature‘s changes, which prompt thanksâ€" giving for the fall and spring harvests, would thus be relegated in a few years to periods of the year that would be most inappropriate for their celebraâ€" tion. So the lunar calendar was adâ€" Justed to the solar calendar by the inâ€" troduction of the leap years that bring about a perfect coincidence of the two systems in the course of 19 years. HYDRO ELECTRIC POWER Certainly Rural Ontario has gained as much, if not more, than any other section of the Province by the success of the present Hydro in cutting power costs and extending the benefits of lowâ€"cost power. There is no ‘‘forgotten man‘"‘ in the Hydro policy of today. im‘ C In addition to this reduction in the service charge, the b was reduced in somesystems hy $2.50 per h. p: On August Ist, was made of $3.00 per h. p. in Eastern Ontario, and $2.00 per h System. The effect of these reductions will ultimately be fel sumption charges all over the Province. Fully realizing that the greatest single contribution it could make to a better, more enjoyable life, and a more permanent prosperity to Ontario, would be to electrify every rural home in the Province, the present Hydro has left no stone unturned to extend the benefits of low cost power to Rural Ontario. During the present fiscal year, Hydro will spend approximately four million dollars building over 2,000 miles of new line to serve approximately 10,000 new rural customers. At August 15th, 1937, over 1,500 miles had been built, and more than 7,500 new customers added. Service charges have always retarded Hydro growth. Realizing this, the present Commission cut these rates in half in November 1936. Hundreds of rural users immediately applied this saving on new appliances for the home or for labor saving and profit making electrical equipment on the farm. Few realize how much Hydro has changed rural life in Ontario. Its coming brought every advantage enjoyed by city homes. Hydro lights the home and barnâ€"pumps the waterâ€"washes the clothesâ€"cooks the foodâ€"brings the world‘s best entertainment into the parlor. Today, the farmer has within his grasp the opportunity to make his home equal to the most modern city homeâ€"to operate his farm with the most modern laborâ€"saving equipment.

It seemed, from results, to be the most satisfactory way, for after a time the bear left as quietly as he had arrived, with no harm done to man or beast or machinery. Bears are notorâ€" ious for their curiosity and this parâ€" ticular bear when he came across the big mill at Kapuskasing certainly had a right to feel curious as to what it was all about.
