Series Is Costly
Rabbi Gerstenfeld reaches
far across the country and
sometimes overseas to obtain
scholars for his series. Although
he declined to put a price tag
on the series, he said it costs
thousands"
He said the series, by show
ing the true development OF
religion and relating it to the
times, deepenS ones faith" He
said the scholarly examinations
result in a tremendous in
crease in respect for Judaism.
But Rabbi Gerstenfeld en-
phasized the scholar series is
not designed to recruit new
members. He said the objective
is merely spreading truth as
seen by the most gifted schol-
arS of our time"

ton at Massachusetts, avenue

Rabbi GerStenfeld said. 1T
does not take the great ideas
and relate them to the broad
horizon of the scholarship of
our time. Religion is a living
thing which responds to the
time. 1t is a set of ideas being
continually reborn"
Rabbi Gerstenfeld said un-
less religion is appreciated for
what it is, there is a tendency
to dogmatiZe. He said this
dogma based on words or ideas
taken out of context results in
"a great deal of bigotry."
Famed Scholars Speak
These convictions about re-
ligious education gave birth to
the Sunday Scholar Series.

the worlds greatest scholars
lecturing for one hour every
Sunday morning in the temple.
The audience then questions
the scholars for 80 minutes.
There has been a standing
room audience of 900 ever since
the series started four years
ago, Rabbi Gerstenfeld said.
He said the program resem-
bles the "old academies of Pal
estine and Greece where
learned scholars would meet
students with complete free
do moi thought" He said DR.
William Foxwell Albrig h t,
famed biblical archeologist
who is one of the lecturers,
called the series the greatest
galaxy of scolars in the world.

Climbing Roses Need
To Be Pruned Now

/ the towering season. Cut them
of as close to the ground az
possible.
The monthly blooming sports
Of the above. such as New
Dawn and Blaze. should be
pruned in the same fashion
following the first heavy bloom.
This viii encourage heavier
Towering during the summer
and fall.
Hybrid Tea Climbers
The monthly blooming by
brid tea climbers. and there are
q considerable number Of them,
need pruning to improve the
size and length Of stems Of the
flowers. This is best done in the
spring when the bush roses are
being pruned. but 1t should not
stop at that season but con-
tinue during the summer Just
as the bush roses are trimmed
by removing the spent blooms
and shortening the stems.
In the spring do not cut the
main canes but only the side
branches. Shorten them to two
or three buds. This viii result
in fewer blooms but Of much
better size and length Of stem.
When an old cane gets too
knurled and rough then 1t
should be removed close to the
ground and o new branch
trained to take It's place. During
the summer. following each
blooming period the spent
blooms should be removed cut
ting the stems back to two or
three leaves. This will encour-
age stronger growth and more
freedom Of bloom except on
climbing Peace which appar-
emily we do not yet know how
to make bloom.
Everblooming Climbers
The everblooming climbers
such as Gladiator, Parade. City

of pruning. Gladiator win con-

Perfect Gardens Always in View
By JAMES BlRcHFlELD

-There is something about q
garden planted near q road.
Every one I pass seems to be
in ! perfect condition - well
weeded and growing nicely.
It's an idea. Perhaps I had
better move mine down to
Route z. Then, for fear of
ridicule by my neighbors, I
would be forced to keep after
the weeds.
I could always let the grass
grow tall up around the house.
You can't see up there from
the highway.

I must admit I was Just a
little shocked at Wellman
Chamberlin, the old woodsman,
the other day. Wellman was
host to the annual National
Geographic Society map de-
partment picnic in his back
year. and was getting the char
coal fire going to cook the
steaks.
And he didn't do it like we
do down on The 40 Acres. We
rub two sticks together In the
prescribed Indian fashion.
then coax along the fame until
the charcoal gets going.
But not Wellman. First
thing anyone knew. Wellman
was in the house and back
again with a long extension
cord and the vacuum cleaner.
He turned the cleaner back
wards, and shot a stream Of
air on his fire. Started it, too.

but in what a way. We then
found out that he keeps q
small blower in the house for
such tasks. Only trouble was

Down our way we might
cheat a little on occasion. But
then we fan our fire with ar
old issue of The Star. We
never resort to electronics.

for annual inspection of the
