It's easy enough to be called a phi
lanthropist and worker for charity
if one has enough money. But it's
another thing to go out and work for
charity, to devote days and nights to
such cause. It's harder still when
one has business affairs to look after,
when one is pressed by social obliga-
tions to devote time to such cause.
Well, that's what Mr.. Weinberg has
done, that's why he is to be honored
at the picnic.
$4,000 Raised
Here's a summary of what he's
done:
During Mr.. Weinberg's short term
of office 100000 has been raised by
the hospital, $4,000 of which has
been raised by his team in the recent
drive, the home and hospital have
been put on a better financial basis,
and the dream of an Old Folks Home
and kosher hospital with Class A
rating by the American Medical As
sociation, has come true.
This is the first whisper of the
honor to be given Mr.. Weinberg, and
it partly explains the intensive drive
to make the picnic Sunday at Elitch's
Gardens such n success.
Picnic Features
And even without that part of the
program the picnic, according to the
committee in charge, will be great
success. For the first, there will be,
of course, eats-a hot cooked chicken
plate dinner, with all the trimmings
and dessert, at fifty cents plate.
Coffee and several kinds of sand
witches will be served to those who
prefer light lunch. Then there will
be "Craig's Wife," the prize-winning
play at the theatre. Between the acts
cold and refreshing drinks will be
served by pretty girls. And all the
other features that make picnic sue
cessful will make this picnic the best
ever held by such an organization.
Now is it a bit more clear-the
reason for the picnic? And won't you
attend to do honor to man of Mr..
Weinberg's type?
Just another instance of his un-
selfish service to the old folks home
is related by one of the dear old
women there:
"He came out here last week and
talked to us for several hours and
wanted to know what we liked to eat
and what the institution could do to
make our declining years happier. He
then instructed the chef to contin-
ually prepare and serve those dishes
which so many of us like and relish.
All of us love him so that we could
not resist the temptation of inviting
him to dine with us, and partake of
the. good things which his personal
interest helps provide for us, and now
our own Nat Weinberg is going to
bless our table with us at an eve
ming meal"
"He lives in deeds, not years; in
thoughts, not breaths; in feelings, not
in figures on a dial"
That's NAT" Weinberg.

A talkative gentleman was being
put to bed by his valet. There came
a pause in the conversation, or rather
the monologue. In order to encourage
the servant the lord said: "You spoke,
Charles?' 81 had nothing to say, my
lord" "A vain apology for silence"
the master continued.
If some statistician could estimate
the amount of energy expended in
useless conversation, it would, l feel
confident, run into staggering figure.
Also useless conversation has tend
ency to get US into trouble. Avoid it.
Life is a farce" cynic once

This shows how varied are the
views of men on that which we are
now experiencing; That which is
natural to love; That which no one
can explain. This one thing is known,
that those people are happier who en-
brace religion. There is peace and
comfort in a deep, abiding faith in
that power which placed us here for
reason we are not now sufficiently

danger in it, for it has been observed
that the more one loves ones self, the
fewer there are to share that love.
Also if one takes care of those he
loves and he loves himself so much,
he has little time to give to others.
This, too, is necessary.
That many friendships have been
lost by being claimed" is true. 1t is
far better to allow friendship to
grow, mature and mellow by its con-
tact with rain, storm, sunshine and
finally harvest time. Far better than
to force it with hot house plant atten-
tions, which, while developing the
fruit of friendship outwardly, may
breed worm, which may destroy that
very friendship that promised to be
solid and firm.
