large and well-equipped city park —soon is to be a reality. Announcement was made that the Chrysler Corp., the city's leading industry, has donated a 28-acre tract adjoining a larger plot already designated for park development. Apparently inspired during the recent visit here of Chrysler executives, including T. K. Keller, company president, the gift assures a municipal park. "It is the foresight of men like Mr. Keller and other Chrysler officials in offering thus land to Newcastle that shows their appreciation for our efforts to provide a place of recreation for the citizens of the city." Mayor Sidney E. Baker declared. Transfer Drawn Up Acting on instructions of City Council after immediate acceptance of the gift was voted, City Attorney

Chester M. DeWitt today was comple s ing steps for the formal transfer of the property. Although situated within a mile of the Henry County Memorial Park, rated one of the most beautiful in Indiana, Newcastle never has had a large park in its corporate limits. A movement, started early thus year, led to purchase of the the site bordering the one donated. Plans, already completed for construction of a swimming pool, tennis and horseshoe courts, soft ball diamond and playground equipment, will be revised, officials indicated. The city expects 'WPA assistance in developing a modern recreational project. The adjoining tracts are located in the south part of the city, near Chrysler and other industrial plants.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

JEWS OF CITY OBSERVE FEAST OF DEDICATION Eight-Day Celebration of Hanukkah Starts in Homes, Synagogs. Hanukkah, the eight-day Feast of Dedication, is to be observed in Jewish homes and synagogs beginning tomorrow. The festival celebrates the deeds

of Judas Maccabeus, one of the great heroes of Jewish history, who. 2100 years ago, led his people against the tyrant Antiochus Epiphanes, Syrian ruler of Jerusalem. Opposing the coercion of their conquerors, the ancient Jews recaptured the Temple from the Syrian Greeks, who had defiled it by setting up their own idols. When time came to relight the altar lamp, which was supposed to burn perpetually, only one small cruze of oil was found. Then, according to Hebrew scripture. a miracle occured. and the lamp burned for eight days. The traditional festival is held through eight days to commemorate the miracle, and a lighted candle is added each night during its observance. Special scriptures are read in the synagogues, and children assist in reciting the Hanukkah benediction.
