In far-flung corners of the world, Jews will
hold Seders this Passover with the aid of the
United Jewish Appeal. A happy refugee new-
ly arrived in the United Slates, left, smiles
as he watches a youngster light the candles
surmounting the traditional Passover board,
at a refugee shelter maintained by the United
Service for New Americans. On Cyprus
(above) Passover prayers are recited from
the Haggadah by Jewish internees, who are
supplied with food, wine and other needed
supplies by the Joint Distribution Committee.

Quarter they still talk about it in a kind of hushed
amazement.
Some say it happened early on the first night of Pesach.
Some say it was much later in the evening. But most of them
agree that this is how it took place.
It was right after that series of terrific explosions which
rocked the entire marketplace.

of the explosion.
The bomb concussion had daz-

from a blow on the bead. As
he reached the far end of
Richov Rachamim (the "Street
of Compassion"), he collapsed,
falling prostrate across the nar-
row pavement, his head against
the wooden door of the silent
house, his feet dangling over
the gutter.

night made even darker by the
billows of dirty firesmoke which
came from afar, this is what
they say happened. Tne wooden
door of the silent house sud-
denly cracked open, and there
was the voice of a frightened
woman: "Ma zot? Ma zot?"-
then a choked "ach' . . . Abba,

ened room, there was the rustle
of a jacket being removed, the
swish of a sponge in water, the
excited muttering of instruc-
tions. And to the tall, strong
man, his diminutive wife, and
the little girl who stood be-
wildered at the foot of the cot,
there came a groan of pain
from the man on his back.
But as the people of Yemin
Moshe tell it, the Lance Cor-
poral Hannon soon emerged
from his stupor, sat up in the
cot, and looked up blankly at
his benefactors.
Then through the doorway of
the other room, they say, he
beheld the soft glow of lights
on a table, and a question was
on his face. "What's going on
here? What are you doing?"
He remembered like a sharp
pain what some of his squad
buddies had told him about the
kidnapings, and the third-degree
questionings by the Jewish un-
derground in dimly-lit cellars,
and the truncheon beatings.

NEW YORK (WNS)—In an
effort to stave off possible suf-
fering among the Jews of Pales-
tine during the period of emer-
gency resulting from Arab vio-
lence, nutrition experts of Ha-
dassah have mapped out blue-
prints for the storing of food
supplies and emergency feeding
for the school and general popu-
lation of Jerusalem and other
communities in the Holy Land,
it was disclosed.
The laying up of a two
months' supply of food has been
worked out for all regular
schools, Yeshivoth and children's
institutions.
In close cooperation with Vaad
Leumi, menus and instruction
of the use and care of food
stocks, flexible enough to pro-
vide all necessary nutrition ele-
ments despite shortages, have
been prepared.
The Jerusalem feeding com-
mittee has arranged for all Jew-
ish children of grammar school
age to receive a meal which will
be prepared in the kindergar-
tens of the Old City.
