THIS AND THAT
Bu Charles Z. Trdce1DeH.

The gray squirrel remains today. as 1t
He brought breath Of the deep woods
to city parks and streets. In the old
DAYS, there was no particular danger for
a squirrel in crossing the street. Today
a squirrel, as the rest of us, must step
lively.
Down town squirrels seem friendlier
than suburban squirrels. This Is simply
because they must, If they want to get
something to eat.
In suburban communities these rodents
seem great deal wilder, and less
friendly on all scores. 1t is only possible,
now and then, to induce a squirrel to
make friends.
In the city parks, the squirrels all know
that if they want something to eat they
must come up to the bench to get 1t.
These friendly little specimens have done
q great deal to steady lonely people who
fnd life at times rather trying.
~ ~
The point to keep in mind, In watching
the squirrels, is that the color does not
make much difference, after all.
While the white (albino) and the
black (melanistic) forms are interesting,
they are in no other way anything ex-
cept squirrels.
One is caused by a lack of coloring
pigment. the other by too much.
1t is interesting to note that the other
SQUIRRELS do not accept the rare forms
very readily. Just as human beings tend
to shy from differences, so do the ami
mails and the birds.
Ordinary gray squirrels Of the city and
suburban communities are the ones most
of us think of, when we think Of squir-
rels, at all, and usually we do not think
of them except when we see them.
The gray squirrels are much better
tempered than the red squirrels, OF which
few are to be found hereabouts. At that,
an admirer should be careful about
handling them, if at all. Motions in
their direction should be slow and easy.
such as will not alarm the animal.
If squirrel insists on climbing on
ones shoulder, as they sometimes do in
parks, the best thing to do is TO keep
absolutely quiet.
Sometimes the slightest move OF the
hand will cause 1t to be bitten. A squirrel
bite-by gray, white or black squirrel
is something to be avoided. Usually it
Is down to the bone, and makes dim
cult wound to heal.
Squirrels seem to be unusually large
and fat this fall.
Does this mean q cold and prolonged
winter2
II Nature takes care Of her own, she
should pile up fat on animals when the
months are to be cold and windy. Many
persons believe that this is exactly what
she does, and that in this way (by watch
ing the small animal) they can tel
whether a winter is to be severe.
Old Tgey, the cat, who lives entirely
outdoors, is fairly rolling in fat. II w
can accept Tige as . weather prophet. a
well as an old bum, we would be willing
to predict bad winter. But the weather
has been 20 unpredictable, as even the
weather men know, that nobody can
say what 1t is going to do.

approval Of priority ofncials. To
pile up In the gasoline tax fund a
large surplus that cannot be ex-
pended probably for years to come
is unwarranted and senseless. AS a
matter of fact the trend of debate
on the floor of the House indicated
that the four cent tax was voted
chiefly because a number Of other
Jurisdictions have similarly high
gasoline taxes. That argument OBJ
viously is irrelevant and unfair. To
impose an unnecessary extra tax
burden on local motorists for such
a f1imsy reason would be exceedingly
arbitrary. 1t is to be hoped that
the Senate District Committee will
accept the recommendations of its
subcommittee and will urge upon the
Senate the modified measure sug-
geSted.

done. He said that we propose to
forge new weapons for ourselves
while continuing to supply our allies.
This, too, can and will be done.
Never before has the country known
so great degree of unity in purpose,
and it is well prepared to receive the
trust which the President said the
Government will put in the stamina
OF the American people. They know
that the war will be long and hard,
but they are resolved to fight through
to ultimate success. Meanwhile, they
will endure the bad news without
deSpairing of the good.

Example Of Christ
Cited for Today.

To the Editor OF The Star:
Just few words on the subject OF iso-
lationist policy.
A man has right to be an isolationist
II he wants to be. If it is his conviction
that We should not mingle in European
affairs or share Europe's burdens that Is
his right as free citizen. If any person
honestly holds the absurd belief that the
Jews caused the present war, he is en-
titled not only to hold it, but to express
it. There is no law against absurdity.
But a man cannot be an isolationist
and Christian at the same time. If the
parable Of the Good Samaritan means
anything, it means that we must come to
the aid Of those who suffer, If we are
able to do so, regardless of cost. And it
means also that the people Of China and
the suffering millions in Europe, includ-
ing the Jews, are our brothers.
While man has a perfect right to
advance the argument Of convenience, he
cannot square the argument with the
teachings of Jesus. Our Master never
recognized comfort or convenience as
legitimate arguments when the issue was
the misery and tragic suffering OF his
fellow men.
Christ hung on a cross to show us to
what limits we should go to save man
kind from suffering and death.
