2: If you have no Jewish prob
lens just what do the. Jews do
about a pleasurable existence up
here? In short how does a moon
Jew manage TO keep going with
out any special problems to worry
about? I am speaking as an earth
Jew. On the earth Jews are con-
tinuallY worrying about them
selves as Jews. they organize their
worries into big associations: in
that way they keep feeling Jew
ish.

what do you tenants of the moon
do about using somebody to hate?
Upon whom do you blame, then,
for what may all moons society.
You see, down on our earth, peo-
pie have enjoyed themselves hat
ing Jews for 1000 years. Down
there Jews are used by many as
a convenience by which to ex-
plain whatever ais the social
order. So, if you have no Jews,
what do you use for whipping
boys, and if you have no hates
what do you do for recreation?
4: If you have Jews among you.
what facilities can you provide for
those of them who would like TO
get away from it all on the earth
by occasional visits to your moon.

have you any Miami up here? My
wife says you probably haven't
any Grossinger here. What about
that? And what of your hotels?
Are they restricted?
Upon presenting these ques-
tons, I am surprised to hear that
on the moon they know all about
Jews, though they haven't any of
their own. By flying saucers the
moon-dwellerS have been all
around the earth almost nightly
for quite a few years and know
practically everything.
I meet the moons prime minis

have one prime minister for the

says, 1--WE are familiar with all
those questions, since we know
well what goes on down there. To
answer your first question: We
have no Jewish problem here be-
cause we have no Jews.
Nor do we have Protestants or
Catholics. Moslems or Buddhists.
So we have none Of those earthly
sins that people down there have
perpetrated on one another in the
name Of religion"
"Do you know God here?" I
inquire.
I'VE know Him as the One who
made the moon for US and put US
here. We thank Him for the moon
which is a light in the darkness of
all the universe in the nights. Up
here we try TO live up TO His
stature by being decent people
without hate. We reverence Him
by working TO make the moon a
better and better place TO live in.

together in the serenity that is Of

CARE help I'm india
REACHES RECORD

WASHINGTON, d. C.-(CNS)-
CARE will do more in India this year
than in all previous years combined,
Roy McCorkle, former CARE mission
chief in India, said October 81.
Reason for this, he said, is that
CARE is sending u. S. farm SURPRISES
to every tuberculosis hospital and
leprosy asylum in India, as we'll as
to many refugees, welfare centers,
and needy families.
CARES self-help program also has
growing support, McCorkle said. "No
country except Korea has had more
self-help than India" CARE has SUI
pervised distribution of thousands of
moldboard plows, hand tools, techni-
cal books, and medical equipment.
These plows, made to CARES
specifications, come from a factory
in Cawnpore, McCorlxle said. This
saves transportation costs and pro-
vides jobs in India.
"CARE help is literally making the
difference between life and death
for lot of people," he said. "These
voluntary gifts by U. S., Canadian,
and other people are one of the fin
est, most concrete expressions of
world friendship, cooperation, and
understanding.

Suppose a parent were to say:

cleanliness in my home, but will
give you my child for two hours

him the ideal of cleanliness" Or

similar attitudes toward patriot

or any other ideal in life which is
of great consequence.
Often wanted to take such

AIouettes in Dark
AS Lions End Says
They Signed Him
By the Associofed Press

OAKLAND, Calf, Mar. H.
Gordon Cooper, former Denver
University end, said today he
has signed with the Montreal
Alouettes of the Canadian Foot
ball League.
Cooper is owned by the Detroit
Lions. He missed last season be-
cause of knee injury after his
release from the Army last June
Cooper was informed today
that Vic Obeck, manager of the
Alouettes, said There must be
some mistake" as the club never
had heard Of Cooper.
Obeck also stated the Alouet-
tes would not sign a player if
he was already signed by an NIL
team.
I'm owned by the Detroit
Lions" Cooper commented. But
I did not receive contract for
this year, so I signed with the
Alouettes' coach.
II mailed my contract last

make for a totally different
game. Joe Dey, executive secre-
tary, said over the phone the
other day from New York.
"It's impossible to assess the
advantages Of winter rules" Dey
added, land it's also impossible
to get a true handicap playing
them" He echoed the senti-
ments of several pros who dis
cussed the subject here last week,
including George Diffenbaugh,
AL Houghton and the Stevens
brothers, Clagett and Eddie.
Diffenbaugh said that a be-
ginner golfer would be better off
if he or she never heard of win
ter rules. The novice should
start by playing the ball as it lies.
For the first time, the USGA
is going to insist on handicaps
made under summer rules for
eligibility for its national cham
pionships. Amateurs who enter
the open, amateur and senior
championships will have to sign
an entry blank that states their
handicaps have been computed
under the USGA golf handicap
system.
In a box in the current issue
of the USGA Journal it states:
Amateur entrants for the
open, amateur and senior cham
pionships must have handicaps
computed under the USGA syS-
tenn, and the system provides as
follows:
Scores to be recorded shall
be only those made when the
player has complied with the
rules of golf. Scores made under
winter rules, general teeing up,
or preferred lies, must never be
used for handicapping purposes.
With the amateur champion
ship to be held in Richmond this
fall, there will be more entrants
than ever before from the Dis
trict area. More than when the

Dominating the States Group
II circuit. Fleming used a de-
liberate style of play against
the fast-breaking Falls Church
quintet.
With Bill and Bob Stevens,
identical 6-foot-6 twins, leading
the scoring, Fleming piled into
a 1875 lead at the quarter and
stepped up the pace to a 27-15
halftime advantage. The Colo
nels boosted their margin to
1925 by the third-quarter mark,
and then poured 1t on in the final
period.
Bill Stevens, voted outstand-
ing player in the tournament,
scored IT points, hitting six out
of 10 shots from the floor and
five of six free throws. Brother
Bob equaled the field goal out
put. missing only five shots. and
popped in two of five from the
foul line.
Although Fleming's height un-
doubtedly was the deciding fac
tor. the entire squad played in
spired ball.
George Mason. a sentimental
favorite against the big city
boys, showed its right to rank
second in the tourney by fight
ing it out all the way. John
Tasker. a husky guard with a
sharp driving two-handed shot,
Tailed 10 shots for the Falls
Church boys. Ralph Havens. a
little sprinter, added seven and
forward Dave Smith popped in
six.
Unlike Fleming's other two
tournament massacres, this one
never seemed to be a runaway.
| probably because the crowd
seemed to think George Mason
had the potential.
