ANCIENT RITUAL OF LIGHTS

In December 1969, children of the Jewish faith in Butler light candles to mark the beginning of Hanukkah, the eight-day Festival of Lights. At far right, 12-year-old Julie Bernstein holds one candle from which the others will be lighted. The other children participating are, from right, Ricky Leventhal, 11; Mark Berg, 10; Leslie Shapiro, 6, and Ronna Grossman, 9. Hanukkah this year will begin at sundown Dec. 11.
