BUSINESS BOOMs

One man reported that several
weeks ago there was a slump in
business around Florence but
since the ridiculous campaign has
been underway there is prosperity
in practically every home.
Like I said to begin with the
whole thing Is q crazy, mixed
up affair but there's an element
OF suspense that proves allur-
ing-I invested ten dollars then
sold two persons on the idea
and now have my ten dollars
right where is started-in my
pocket.
If you're wise, you will do as
you SO desire but my advice is
this-if you invest, follow my ac-
tions and remain painfully en-
ployed cause a sure payday gives
you the kind of security il takes
to buy groceries, pay the rent,
keep the house filled with light
and running water.
If and when the postal author
tiles decide enough is enough"
those who have just purchased
their instructions will be the folks
you are wondering about-those
who lose money in the deal.

yourself campaign" point out that
they know people who have re-
ceived at least several hundred
dollars. A phone call to a man in
Florence, S. c. disclosed that he
had received "a substantial a
mount of money" and had Just
returned from the post office with
10 letters.
BEGAN IN FLORENCE
AS well as can be determined
the craze began about month
ago in Florence and Marion, S. c.
1t has spread like wildfire since
that time and is reported to be
operating in Wilmington, Chad
bourn, Whiteville, and in the Pal
metto State towns of Loris, Con-
way, Myrtle Beach, Georgetown,
and Mullins.
RumorS of the scheme paying
huge dividends have been respon-
sible for its continuance. Whether
the rumors are based on fact or
fiction only the Collector of In
ternal Revenue will ever know.
According to those who are so
inclined to "figger" figures, if the
entire cycle is completed, by pur-
chasing once you will get your
name on 2,048 lists of instruction
and when your name reaches the
top each person will send you a
five dollar bill. Thus, you have
Sl0,24O.
So far as l know the success
stories have centered in Florence.
One man was seen with stack
of letters (each supposedly con-
tanning five dollar billy that he
had received through the get
rich" scheme. Another Florence
gentleman is reported to have re-
ceived approximately $1,000 only
a few days after getting his name
on the list.
Although it reeks of "flim
fam" characteristics, the craze
operates in a way that involves
no financial loss provided the
person who signs up is able to
sell two more persons on the
idea.
SOMEONE LOSES
Naturally, someone has to be
the loser. Who comes out on the
short end of the deal? AS far as
| can determine the only people
who lose money are those who in
vest their $40 and fail TO convince
two other persons that it's worth
investing in.
How does il work? Who gets
the money? When do you get your
money back? viii you actually
receive money from people you
don't know? What's the sense in
the whole deal?
These are the questions | asked
when approached on the matter
OF investing my money. The an
Swers were direct and again the
simplicity of the scheme was con-
Vincing.
Ii you haven't been contacted,
you may rest assured that some
one will be talking it over with
you in short while. This is what
you can expect to see.
There will be IL names at the
bottom of sheet of instructions.
# you invest you will send five
dollars to the first name on the
list, mark out his name and add
your own name to the bottom.
Thus, the name in the number
two position moves to the get

Despite Total Bhmdney Mary C'rlhn
Keeps House. Gayaen and BOOMERS
BY Daniel l.. Friedberg

If ever you feel that you
are not fortunate and that every
thing and everybody is against
you, just stop and think of Miss
Mary Crellin of 208 Water ST.,
Chardon. Her example will
change all that.
Since 1929 Mary has b n
totally blind, yet she does more
than the average woman of her
age as far as house work and
chores around the house are
concerned.
Until the time of her blind
ness she taught school in Ge-
auga county. She had taught
school for % years. Some of
her former pupils still living
in this county are: Ralph and
Glenn Hanna, Mable Burr, Mrs.
Lillian Anderson and Mrs. Alice
Rand.
Her average day begins at
TOO am, when she prepares
breakfast for Rev. Elder Boy
tar of the Assembly of God
church. Reverand Boytar is
one of the roomerS at Mary'S
home. After that she does the
dishes, cleaning, washing,
Strengthening of rooms, and
preparation for the evening
meal. She may do some mend
ing and crocheting Of rag rugs.
How does she do all tn e e
things? It's been a long, slow
process, but Miss Crellin had
a world of patience and tn e
will to be self supporting. She
declared, Il learned to do one
thing at a time.
She has not neglected h er
education, for after supper she
listens to records of books fur
niShed by the State of Ohio for
the blind. She also reads brazil
le and is still able to write in
long hand. She even addressed
most of her Christmas cards
herself.
AS far as her baking ability
is concerned Reverand Boytar
is quite enthusiastic. She bakeS
delicious cakes and pies. How
does she know what ingredients
she's mixing? Each can, con-
tanning the various elements
necessary, is marked with rub
ber bands or some cans are
of different shapes. With h
braille clock she is able to
time her baking.
Mary takes care of her gar
den in the summertime n d
has canned tomatoes and pick
les. She has also canned plums
and peaches.
The sidewalk in front of her
home is kept clean, and it is
remarkable how she can make
it look so neat.
Miss Crellin has not had an
easy time adjusting to her
misfortune but with courage

"
The other day l was listen
ing to Jack Benny at an Is
rael Bond function tell the
story of his visit to Israel. 1t
seems that some nOn-JeWiSh
friend kept Benny faithfully
supplied with copies of Var
iety, the theatrical journal,
while he was in Israel. Benny
wrote him a note of thanks.
He related how that very
morning a Jew in Israel with
a beard reaching almost to
the sidewalk" had stopped
him and asked if George Raft
was still going out with that
New Orleans rhumba dancer.
"Now," wrote Benny, "if you
hadn't sent me Variety, I
wouldn't have been able to
answer him."
Benny can be humorous
about anything and Benny is
good Jew. Benny is not the
only Jewish figure in Holly
wood to visit Israel. Edward
Robinson, who presided at
the great Jerusalem festival
in Madison Square Garden
sponsored by Israel Bonds,
had also been to Israel. Mel
vyn Douglas has even done a
picture there. The narrator
at the Jerusalem Festival was
another great Hollywood star
Cary Grant. 1 certainly was
surprised to hear that Cary
Grant was Jewish.
You can never tell where
you will find a Jew these
days. 1t reminds me of the
story they used to tell about
the great music critic, James
Huneker. He was not a Jew,
but he was always discover.
ing Jewish celebrities. On e
day, after he brought the
story of another such discOv
cry to his mother, she said tC
him, Jimmy, one of these
days you will be telling me
that the Founder of Christian
ity was a Jew"
There is the old Wheezt
about the late Otto Kahn. He

over his vast estate and point
ed out that there was a little
Episcopalian chapel on his
grounds. Don't you think it
is funny 1 should have this
here?"
"Why?" asked Steinmetz.
Because I used to be a
Jew" replied Kahn.
81 used to be a hunchback,"
commented SteinmetZ.
The implication of the story
is that once you are a Jew,
you can never get away from
it. Your Jewishness is never
entirely lost. 1 suspect that
this is not as true as is COM
monty supposed. The old
Russian Cars used to make
it a policy to seize Jewish
children and have them raised
as non-Jews. Many tens of
thousands were thus lost.
During the Inquisition in
Spain, many thousands sur
rendered themselves to their
environment and Spain today
has a large iniltratiOn of
Jewish blood. There is the
quasi-historicaI story tn a t
when the King of Portugal
decreed that every Jew or
part Jew must wear a certain
kind of cap, his Minister of
fered the King a cap.
Then there were the lost
Ten Tribes. Some people say
the British are the lost tribes.
Others would have it that the
Indians are. My friend Harry
SimOnhOff once suggested to
me that it would make an in
teresting study to find out
what became of the early
American Jewish families.
There was the famous Franks
of Revolutionary days and
the Gratz' who made so much
history. Most of these early
Jews seem to have been lost
to Jewry. When some non
Jews say some of their best
friends are Jews, they may
not know how truly they
speak!

To illustrate how vain it is to
trust our own understanding ne
should remember that The wis
dom of this world is foolishness"
with God. That is if all the wisdom
of all men on the Earth was COM
bined, the total would be complete
foclishness with God.
The first step on the pathway
of life is to seek wisdom from
Above. For the fear of the Lord
is the very beginning of wisdom.
One may be a master of all the
Sciences and Arts of this world
and still be first class fool if he
trusts in them.
One may own billions of dollars,
millions of acres of land, sky
scraper mansions and all the other
material things and still be very
poor indeed, for if he fails to trust
the Lord, whose wealth will it be
when his soul is required of him?
Man is born in a world beset
with uncertainty, trials, snares and
unsolved problems. Some can be
foreseen more or less clearly, but
