Eve Of The New Year: Rabbi Julius Weinberg of the Beth Israel Center and his family, like Jewish families all over the world, gathered last night for a ritual meal after synagogue services marking the beginning of the Jewish new year. Here, he feeds his 2 1/2-year-old daughter, Naimah, a piece of apple dipped in honey, while he repeats the traditional expression, "May it be God's will to grant us a good and sweet year." A piece of the rich white bread concealed by the cloth before him will also be dipped in honey as a symbol of hope that experiences of the coming year will be sweet. Mrs. Weinberg looks on.

It was just nine years ago tonight that Babe Ruth, most-beloved and, perhaps, the greatest baseball player of all time, died of cancer. But for fans and others his memory survives and is perpetuated in many ways one of which would be the nation-wide Babe Ruth League program which is dedicated to youth baseball with the game and good sportsmanship being "the thing" without intruding thoughts of race or creed. The above group, gathered around home plate on the Michigan Varsity Diamond which will be the site of next week's Babe Ruth World Series, symbolizes the program. For here are three of "the kids" whom the Babe loved above all others along with three leaders of as many religious faiths. From left are Toby Scott and Ed Hugan, of the Willow Run Babe Ruth Nationals; John Thoss, a Saline Babe Ruther; Rabbi Julius Weinberg of the Beth Israel Center; Father David Weisner, of the St. Francis parish, and Rev. Erland J. Wangdahl, pastor of the First Methodist Church. Ruth Series play will start Tuesday.
