...dusk, the men, in red tarbooshes and starched, white, ankle-length robes, will assemble around a shallow trench. Chanting the Pentateuch and ancient Hebrew prayers, they will wait until dusk, then bring the lambs to the edge of the trench and cut their throats (Exodus 12:6). Fathers will mark the foreheads of their first-born sons with blood. The priests will hand around bitter herbs and unleavened bread. The slaughtered lambs will be cooked. Facing the summit of the mountain, the priests will chant with mounting fervor as the Samaritans squat or kneel on the ground, wearing wide cloth...

Steel's key customers, U.S. auto and truck manufacturers, last week scheduled their best performance of the year. Auto output neared the 2,000,000 mark, 34.7% ahead of last year, and truck production was 36.8% ahead of the same period a year ago.

For his good work, he was made chief of Harrison...

Edmunds shot to the front at the start and passed the 220 mark in 22 seconds. With 150 yards to go, he had opened up an eight-yard lead on Gordon, but the Crimson captain unleashed a futile stretch drive that cut into Edmund's margin with every stride...
...varsity field event squad turned in a brilliant performance. John Bronstein set a meet mark in winning the discus with a 158 ft., 3 3/4 in. toss, and shot putter Hank Abbot broke another record with his 50 ft., 3 in. heave. Stan Doten came through with an excellent 151 ft., 9 1/4 in. throw to take second in the discus, and Steve Cohen put the shot 48 ft., 6 in., his best ever, to beat out Princeton's Bill Fisher for second place...
