in the Canadian Northwest Ter
ritories near Great Slave Lake
After reaching there the adult
male pairs off with the young fe-
male and the adult female pairs
off with the remaining young
male. This inbreeding is thought
by many to be the cause of their
reduced numbers. For two years
at one time none were sighted
however they always return to
this spot in Texas and it has been
made into a refuge principally for
their protection. The deer we saw
in this refuge are similar to our
deer, although they IN much
smaller. Just now the wild turkey
gobblefs are forming their har-
ems and it is quite common to
see a gobbler heading in the di-
rection he heard a hen calling.
They seldom fly but are very
fast ON foot and it is amusing
seeing them raise a streak of dust
as they run.
1t is very interesting at the sea
ports watching the big boats load
ing cotton, also the banana boats
unloading bananas. We bought a
bunch of bananas off the boat for
a dollar and before we knew it
we had put back all the avordu-
pois we had taken off and 20
more pounds were added.
We we're very much surprised
and delighted when on two &C
caSionS friends from Sidney and
Fairview called to see us. DR..
Sanford's father and wife from
Fairview and Nord Lund, whom
you all know in Yoder Motors.
Nord and / arranged to meet the
next day and l had planned a trip
with them to the most Southerly
spot in the u. S., however they
found it necessary to change their
plans and the next thing we
knew they were in Florida. This
trip we afterwards made and it
is quite a thrill standing on the
very southwest strip of the good
old USA and washing your hands
in the Rio Grande. There was a
large cabbage field in this river
bend that claims the honor for
the most southerly field. Several
battles were fought in this vicini-
ty, one after the Civil War had
ended and quite a few old fort
sites are marked. However, since
the South lost this war you do not
hear or see too much about it.
We have enjoyed trailer life
this winter and you oon make
friends with people of your type
and there is just never a dull mo-
ment. l have dried to capture
some of these highlights by cam
era and will have colored slides to
show anyone interested in the
South. Well, Charley, they tell
us that the best part of a "trip
is returning home, and when we
get letters from home telling us
all the new things these grand
Riddles of ours are doing, well,
we start counting the days when
once more we can point the little
ed wagon northward and then
;tep on the gas.
In reading your paper we note
hat some of our old friends will
lot be there to greet us, which
gives us a feeling of regret when
We recall the many happy mo-
nents we have spent with them
However such is life and perhaps
day others will be saying
he same of us. We have enjoy

las kept us in contact with the
Id home town. However you

QUESTION: What is "Tal
U'Matar?"
ANSWER: The expression "Tal
U'Matar'' means 'dew and rain"
1t is a short form of the special
petition included in the daily
prayers from the fourth of De-
cember until Passover. The entire
expression reads: "Give dew and
rain as blessing" The insertion
of this phrase is considered of
enough importance so that it is
publicly announced in the syna-
gogue to remind the worshippers.
In some synagogues a special sign
is put up during this period.
QUESTION: What is the origin
and significance of this insertion?
ANSWER: 1t is prescribed by
Rabbinic law that from the six
tieth day after the autumnal
equinox this petition be inserted.
In the land of Israel the petition is
inserted on the seventh day of the
Hebrew month Cheshvan. The
significance of this insertion is
that man asks the Almighty to
give him rain and dew so that
the world may prosper. In Israel,
where the seasonal rain is crucial
at this time, the petition is offered
even before it is recited in the
Diaspora.
The puissance Of the Almighty
in giving man rain is already
mentioned from the last day of
the Succoth festival. The congre-
cation does not officially ask for
rain until sufficient time has
elapsed to permit the pilgrims to
return to their homes from their
holiday pilgrimage to Jeru-
salem.
****
QUESTION: Why is this inser-
ton excluded from the time Of
the Passover until December?
ANSWER: During the Summer
rain is rare in Israel. Even in
Western lands it is sometimes
This particular section
of the prayers carries a petition
to "grant blessings for all the face
Of the earth" and to bless the
crops for good. That is considered
sufficient to satisfy. the needs of
