A "Hanukah Whirl" has been

dation in honor of the Jewish
holy day.
To begin the program, a sup-
per club has been scheduled from
6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Hillel build-
ing.
CORNED BEEF sandwiches, cole
slaw, potato chips and cokes will
be served. Admission is 50 cents

and an explanation of the holi-
day.

DOOR PRIZES will be awarded
and entertainment will be fea-
tured. Refreshments will include
potato pancakes and admission
will be free for members and fifty
cents for non-members.
Hanakah, which lasts for eight
days, began last night observed
by the candlelighting ceremony.
The holy day commemorates the
rededication of the Temple in Je-
rusalem after its defilement by
the Syrians in 168 B.C. and the
great victories of the Jews, under
their, leader Judas Maccabee,
which ledtoethe religious freedom
and national independence of the
Jewish people.
THE HOLIDAY is known as the
"Feast of Lights" because of the
custom of lighting candles on each
of the eight nights.
These are lit in remembrance
of the miracle which is said to
have occurred when the Temple
was captured from the Syrians.
At that time only a small jar of
holy oil-just enough for one day-
was left behind. However, this tiny
jar of oil burned for eight days
and nights until new oil could be-
secured with which to fill the sa-
cred lamps of the Temple.
