You might not think the
outdoors had much of a place
in home decoration. Well, it
does.
In fact, you don't even
have to be a hunter or fish
erman to enjoy the outdoor
motif in pictures. lamps,
draperies, waste baskets, china
or glassware. Even an old
fashioned wooden duck de-
coy makes a handy and ef-
ficient door stop.
But let's assume there are
youngsters in the family. At
one time or another they are
bound to be interested in
huntings fishing, camping,
hiking, skiing, archery or per-
hapS tennis. That means a
lot of miscellaneous equip
ment.
True, bows and arrows or
tennis rackets can be hung
attractively on a wall but
chances are they'll land in
the clothes closet along with
the 20 rifle, shotgun, rods
and reels and probably a
tackle box.
Equipment Piles Up
Let's also assume that the
man of the house is a fisher
man and or hunter. After all,
a recent Fish and Wildlife
survey showed that 80 mil
lion Americans took more

Hunting. fishing, camping.
skiing and perhaps archery
call for great deal of equip

the amount of participation.
Tennis, hiking and boating
require lesser amounts.
That presents a major

the fireplace or in bedroom
or den. But too often they
are thrust into a closet.
First off, guns should never
be kept in a clothes closet,
AS you know, clothing alb
serbs body moisture when
worn and when placed in a
closet discharges this mois-
ture in the drying -out'
process. The moisture will
collect on your guns and is
most harmful because Of the
high salt content.

ner, after-dinner drinks and

away disgusted, because he
had not found the woman of
his dreams!
A witty Frenchman Justly
said that in August 100000
come to st. Tropez, but only
10000 knew how to enjoy it.
What to Do
Some do enjoy the endless
waiting for the telephone to
bring the group together only
to discuss what to do, to wait
hours on q terrace in a
crowd, to run from one
night club to the other, only
to see which one is the most
animated.
For the moment this Ger
tainly is the "Jardins de la
Licorne" (the Gardens of the
Unicorn, where the other
night a bunch of young star
lets had the unicorn painted
on themselves between the low
slacks and the short blouse.
"Gyslaine" is fashionable for
late late hours.
The ESquinade, last years
fashionable spot, had gone
down a little bit with the
failure of its manager, Fran
co.'s, to conquer the heart Of
Brigitte Bardot, who, by the
way, is back in st. Tropez
this week. (Her star, too, is
declining and specialists are
giving her fame less than two
years.. But she left a peer
age to Francois; everybody
calls him now Francois de
L'Esquinade." An easily ac-
quired nobility! Francoise
Sagan was seen dancing two
weeks ago in the Esquinade
with her Italian beau.
What other joy can you
have in st. Tropez with or
without money? A trip to
Cannes or Nizza in a taxi
helicopter from the station
outside the village, where a
karting was installed with
great success but had to be
closed because the manager
had forgotten to ask for a
license. (Two-way fare for
one person about $3.50 for
NiZza.)
If you like. you can even
be vehicled by the helitaxi
to the beach and thus avoid
the terrible bottlenecks on
the one and only road cross
ing st. Tropez and leading
to all the wonderful places
on the sea.
Or would you prefer a
cheap drink ($1.10) at the
open-air place, "Chez Palm
yre," where barefoot beauties
dance to the sound of an
old Wurlitzer organ?
Next year a gambling ca
sino is supposed to be opened
in st. Tropez. but many
doubt that this is a good
idea. 1t would kill the st.
Tropez fashion, slacks be-
ing forbidden in French ca
sinos, and who wants to gam
BILE anyway in St. Tropez
when all the other places on

ST. TROPEz. - According
to French law the private
beach" doesn't exist. You
can inclose your property on
the side of the land, but the
shore must be accessible to
anybody who wants to come
in from the sea. A strip of
about 8 yards wide belongs Il
the country.
This way you cannot chase
an intruder in front of your
house wherever he came
FROM as long as he stays
near the shore. On the other
hand, you may go and tan
yourself on the sophisticated
beach of the Carlton in
Cannes and no intimidating
maneuver can stop you.
All this to explain why
and how people can live in
st. Tropez (Still the center
of the French vacation
world) on 50 to 81 a day
while others spend about
500 for nearly the same
pleasures.
Prince Paul of Greece has
a beautiful estate on a beach
near st. Tropez, but his in
closure leaves the whole
beach free. and if they want
a swim, he and his large
family step through a small
door and mingle with the
crowd.

spiritual leaders, historians
and sociologists that Chanu-
kah is a minor Jewish holi-
day, not to be measured
against the major holidays.
Chanukah, after all does not
possess the aWesomenesS of
RoSh Hashanah or Yom Kip
pur; nor does it have the ito
getherness" of Passover. In
deed, the literature on Cha
nukah is scant.
There is little music relat-
ed to the holidays and except
for the miracle of the cruise
of oil burning for eight days
instead of one, Chanukah is
remembered and celebrated
for the military victory of
the Maccabees over their
Syrian oppressors in 165
BEE, and the reclaiming
and rededication of the Tenn
pie which had been defiled
by the Syrians and Greeks.
Nevertheless, as we move
into the 1960's of this century,
we, Jews and non-Jews alike,
are taking more serious cog
nizance of Chanukah as a
festival of deep meaning.
What, after all, is the Cha
nukah story? 1t is the tale
of a small group of men who
are outnumbered and per-
secuted by the occupying
forces in their homeland.
They are not permitted to
observe their faith, but they
are encouraged to live free
ly under a strange way of
life. That is to say, if they
are willing to shed their Ju-
daism, they can live comfort
ably. 1t sounds like a famil-
lar pattern, doesn't it?
That the victory of the
Maccabees led to the estab-
lishment of the second Jew
ish Commonwealth, is, in a
sen Sc, incidental to this
story. What remains is the
excitement of choice: slavery
or freedom. Never mind that
the slavery was not actual
slavery, but only theological.
The "only" is, in this case,
a vital word. What counted
to these ancient Jews was
freedom.
Men have fought for free
