BY this time the memorial had
become the topic of the hour.
Would there really be one in
Rockaway Park or was it merely
talk? AS the holiday season drew
close, townfolk were putting the
question to one another. Heads
shook negatively.
Meanwhile, Benny was hard at
work. Enlisting the assistance of
Julius Gerstel, a prominent local
business brain, and Simon Spiel
man, shrewd experienced public
relations director, Weiner laid the
groundwork for his menorah.
When he finished long hours
Of work at his little store, Benny
trudged Rockaway Parks streets
in the cold night to visit business
men and solicit private contribu-
tons. Here a dollar, there three
dollars-soon the kitty reached
the necessary figure.
Benny rushed to New York
City'S famed Lower East Side.
While his customers back in
Rockaway Park yelled for their
unfinished orders at his dry
, cleanery, Benny hurried along
Essex Street to find a store cap
able of building him an 18-foot
Menorah.
"How do I get to this place"
Benny inquired of an elderly Jew
in Yiddish, hurriedly displaying
a small business card.
"Oh," came the reply, "that's
just around the corner"
Weiner yelled a quick thanks
and raced on. Chanukah, too,
Benny said half to himself, was
just around the corner!
When the menorah was finish
ed Weiner called the community's
trio of rabbis together to approve
its appearance. Were the bulbs in
the correct places? Was the shape
all right?
Benny's Chanukah menorah
shone majestically that first night
of Che Festivals of Lights. It's
bright bulbs lit up a dull land
scape of sand and surf. Half the
night Weiner stood in the cold
watching as groups of Jews and
Observation-Disclosures all-walk-
ed to the base of the memorial and
stood in awe.
The response was very favor
able. Pictures of the memorial
sparkled the front pages of the
local newspaper next morning.
People everywhere in this ocean
side community spoke of Benny's
menorah. AS for anti-Semitisn:
there was not a single case Of
"repurcussions."
Skeptics reluctantly agre ed

might be something to this BUSH

proudly side by side with the
Christmas tree symbolizing the
brotherhood of man.

Thoughts on Life
Men and CulIs
By DR.. JOHN w. HOLLAND

f1O IA V1OlIO IG OllCG dt ~. Au-
gustine, Fla, l was entertained by
the hundreds of gulls flying in ar
tistic circles along the seashore near
the old fortress. 1t has happened
there that the shrimp fishermen,
coming in with the catch, threw
enough of their catch away to feed
the gulls.
Several generations of gulls lived
and flourished on this handout of
shrimp. AS a result, the old gulls
failed to teach their young to catch |
fish and thus earn their own living.
Now, the shrimp fishers have moved
to other locations, and the poor
gulls, having never been taught to
hustle for their own living, are
dying off.
1t is the old, old story, dramati-
cally re-enacted. We men and gulls
are put into the world to make our
own way and when some artificial
and easy method is provided for us,
we slump and forget chow to fish for
ourselves"
Only Makes It Harder
Parents who struggle in order to
make it easy for their children sue
coed only in making it hard for them
in later life. The story of Creation
has often been wrongly interpreted.
Many people actually think that la
Dor is a curse brought upon US by
the sin of our first parents. An old
song tells of a woman who wanted
to go to Heaven:
'Don't weep for me now; don't
weep for me ever,
I'm going to do nothing forever
and ever"
If you will note that verse in
Genesis, you will see that Adam was
put into the garden to "dress it."
That meant work and lot of it.
While mans sinfulness increases the
load of his labor, it does not cause it.
America has been developed by
men and women who loved to work
There is reason why poor boys"
who learned the dignity and honor
of work, climb to positions of trust
and honor in later life. They learned
early to ''hoe out their own rows"
Our Own Prayers
Our religion cannot be handed to
us on a silver platter. No one else
can help us by their prayers as well
as we can fortify our own souls by
our own prayers. I have many vol
umes of prayers gathered from the
praying of centuries love to read
them. Many of them are artistic
beyond my poor powers to frame
thoughts into words. Yet, they are
the prayers of other people. The
prayers that most help me are those
utter for myself.
The publican, stricken in mind by
many of the evil things he had been
doing, prayed as any needy man
must: God be merciful to me q
sinner" Jesus said that this kind Of
prayer and confession sent the pub.
lican ''Down to his house justified
There is no 'royal, easy road
