Benson has debunked lot of
religious sects and often quotes
the Bible to prove his point. Once
he also debunked the principle
that space and time are crooked,
according to Albert Einsteins the
Dry of relatively. This would i'm
ply that space and time in the
universe are finite.
"Einstein must be wrong" says
Benson, shaking his head. And
why?
Benson relies on his lunches,
too, and he has a feeling" no hu-
man being can gain insight into

Benson takes time out to paint.
He has painted a forest fire so
glowingly that the picture, hang
ing on one of his walls, looks as
though it could set the house on
fire. The other day he painted a
picture depicting dream he had
when he was ten years old. He
remembers it very clearly.

grin.
A Sad Dream
Now Benson is worrying about
the next world war. When it comes
he thinks it will result in atomic
warfare, destroying all civilization
and that only few survivors will
find peace while reverting to old
primitive ways.

Benson's going to paint that
picture, too.
The Perfect Gentleman
Once pearl fisherman and an
experienced vagabond, Benson has
taken great pride in being able to
take care of himself and get along
on his own meager earnings and
savings without applying for a
state pension. But last winter he
