the word of Malachi: Hath not
one God created us. Have we not
all one Father? Why then do you
deal despitefullY one against the
other?"
Yes, by these teachings we've
gotten along all right in the old
homestead. I am very comfort
able there. It's a big house and
sometimes, as on Yom Kippur,
it's towers seem to reach to the
stars; and on Pesach we have a
great good time in it celebrating
a joyous deliverance that &C.
Cured thousands of years ago.
Then there's Chanuka when the
house is bright with lights that
commemorate a great victory for
religious liberty.
On our new year we invite
God into the house TO speak to
him on how we have lived our
lives in the years before and
maybe there could be some i'm
provements: maybe we didn't do
our best to keep the house in the
order that God hopes for of His
children. We can do something
to make one new year better.
A good house all right; good
all through the millenia for my
people who were yours, too. In
our house they knew God even
in awfulest travail and in all evil
times were sustained by their
faith in Him. In all these times
they kept his Law. By this faith
their stature grew; their heads
carried the reflection of the stars.
None of this about our house
is said in any disparagement Of
the other house in which you are
now an active resident. It's a
good house. too. Nor do I mean
TO say that every one Of our
house is a person whose head is
bathed with the light of stars.
There are some heels - please
excuse the expression - in our
house. just as in your house. Our
heels can't perceive the privilege
and the duty of being an inhabit-
ant Of such a house. just like the
heels in your house. They just
don't know how TO live.
I respect the house in which
you now live. I admire especially
one of the teachings on its walls:
''Whatever we would that men do
unto you, do We also unto them"
The Golden Rule, that is. feel
sorry for those in your house who
don't behave as the residents of
such a noble dwelling should.

They carry the name of Christian
but Christianity is not the way
of their lives.
It occurs to me. dear doctor.
that your Christian zeal might
well be directed TO these unde-
sirable tenants Of your house who
need to be made Christians in
fact as well as in name. There's
so much for you to do there. Most
of the Jews whom you are out TO
save for Jesus have been doing
pretty well by God spiritually
and morally. That is to say. fairly
decent Jews like me and all my
friends. We really don't need to
be saved. except from foolish
things we may do occasionally.
Jesus himself must be quite
well satisfied with the kind of
Jews we are, and, looking at them
from His altitude, he can be
proud of them, since they are
His folks.
So why. my dear doctor. dis
sipate your talents toward bring
ing Jews over to your house.
when there are so many others
that need to be saved? Better
still you are invited herewith to
come bacx to our old house.
Maybe you can do something for
Jews who don't understand what
being Jewish is all about and
need to be saved for all that is
good in Jewish life.
And, strictly between ourselves
how many Jews in the 100000
have you really saved in all the
years you have been so intent on
converting them by print and
radio?

viable reputation for emergency
assistance to unfortunate employees
requiring a helping hand to tide
them over short periods of illness
or other vicissitudes. Proof of its
usefulness during the intervening
years is plainly evident by its
steadily increasing membership
ratio, the successful handling of
many problems incident to helping
humanity during war, peace and
depression, and it's growth to a
mature and strong benevolent
agency. 1854 will create new and

into action, reports Marion Mac
Donald, All agent.
During January, newly elected
officers and chairmen of local All
clubs attended a training session
to acquaint them with the duties
of their posts.
The meeting began with a movie
on "How to Head a Good Group
Discussion" Following this they
met in separate groups according
to their office. Two questions were
presented and discussed by the
groups: what plans and prepara-
tions should be made before a
meeting, and what duties are in
volved in the office? A summary
of the group discussions was pre-
sented to all present. Miss Ger
trude HollaWay-Home Demon

Retired Defense Worker
Raises Flying Squirrels
By Emily fowe

ElLYING squirrels, friendly
little animals with bulb
GUS eyes and a penchant for
nesting in their masters shirt
pockets, are sent from a ranch
in Arlington to 48 States and
a dozen foreign countries.
L. e. Greeson, a retired
Defense Department equip
ment specialist. believes his
ranch to be the only one Of
its kind in the world. At least,
no one has challenged this
claim made in magazines read
by pet dealers. Since he
started breeding squirrels
three years ago as a diversion
from Government duties, he
has sold $500 to a farflung
list of customers, including
the British Medical Society,
which uses them in cold serum
tests.
Hardly bigger than a mouse
and weighing about 6 ounces
at maturity, the flying squir-
rel Is SO tiny at birth that two
of them, end to end, would be
no longer or bigger round
than a standard size cigarette.
Their large black eyes and
expressive faces make them
look like characters from an
animated cartoon.
The ranch is ct the rear of
Mr.. Greeson's home, COS North
Monroe street. There the ami
,mals, many Of which have
been captured flying through
the woodlands Of the Blue
Ridge Mountains and nesting
high In hollow trees, are
domesticated in a short time.
They adapt readily to their
handmade cages, which are
air conditioned In summer
and heated in winter.
1.-THE squirrels are healthier
in captivity than in their
natural surroundings" ex-
plains Mr.. Greeson. Rolled
oats, Sunflower seeds, pecans
and wheat germ seem to be
more nourishing than the
acorns, worms and buds of the
~wvxAu

In the tanning process, he
withholds food from the ami
mails for "a hours, then re-
quires them to eat from his
hand. This contact with the
source Of their food gives
them confidence in their mas
ter, and they are soon climb
ing UP to his shoulder, coaxing
him for extra nuts, and play
ing hide-and-seek in his shirt
pocket.
Mr.. Greeson recalls with a
chuckle that he sometimes
took his two household squir-
rels to work with him at the
Pentagon before his retire
ment last December. Billy
and Bobby were hid quietly
in his pocket most Of the day,
except occasionally when they
peeked out at a conference.
They seemed to enjoy the
laughter they provoked and
thrived on attention from MIR.
GreeSon's co-workerS.
Flying squirrels are affec-
tionate little fellows, and after
they have become attached to
their master, they want to
follow him everywhere" he
says. MY two squirrels like
to 60 riding perched on my
shoulder. But when a motor
list blasts a horn nearby, they
Immediately dart back into
their favorite pocket"
Mr.. Greeson first became
acquainted with flying SQuir-
rels when he was a Virginia
farm boy. Many years later.
when he was seeking a hobby
for his retirement years, he
remembered them. It was Diff
ficult to find any for sale, but
finally a trapper answered his
advertisement.
Then he decided to trap the
animals himself in the Blue
Ridge Mountains. While he
still buys from about 80 trap
pers in a dozen States, he also
makes excursions himself to
find the animals. He rarely has
fewer than 500 on hand, and
sometimes as many as 1000.
