to have a good time. Then, one
is sure not to have it What
one should seek, he says, is to
have a bad time. To try to get
a little poison ivy, to try to get
bitten by mosquitoes a bit to
make a lot of fool mistakes at
times. If one does all of these
things, then in the process, one
will have adventured much and
there will be many happy good
times in the process and if
worst comes to worst at least,
when it is all over, one will
be so happy coming away from

My friend once took the time
to outline a kind of course in

The Introductory Course

Many, many, thanks for your wonderful coverage on the
opening of Camp Young Judaea. Through your generous space
in the Jewish Herald-Voice we have been able to let the Jewish
people of the Southwest know that there is such a fine camp in
their midst. Y ou are not only doing an invaluable service to the
youngsters, but also to their parents. Through your efforts many
who would not be aware of the advantages of going to such a
camp as Young Judaea will benefit greatly, not only in its pro-
gram, but also a fine feeling of being with their own people.
There are only a few more children who will be able to
register, as we are almost completely filled.
Thank you again for your wonderful service you are giving
to this and other communities.
Ever grateful,
Harry’ Lipshy, Chairman
of Camp Young Judaea
Camp Committee
5. Pinochle, bridge, canasta
or scrabble or talking scandal.
5 credits
The Advanced Course, my
friend thought, should consist
of only two subjects, as follows:
1. Over eating, 10 credits.
This will not only teach you
much about nutrition, but in
case you will want to reduce
later, as no doubt you will, this
will spur you along.
2. Lying on your back, 20
credits. My friend thought this
the most important course of
all. He notes that the great
French philosopher, Pascal,
said mankind’s troubles all
come from his inability to be
still. When you lie on your
back, you are at your stillest.
But not only does lying on your
back serve to immune you to
troubles, but may lead to great
scientific discovery. Newton dis-
covered the law of gravitation
when an apple fell from a tree
on his head.
Try lying under an apple tree
on your vacation and see what
you discover.

The genius of Judaism, Ein-
stein thought, and its greatest
contribution to humanity, that
it made the taking of vacation
one of the ten commandments.
“Six days shalt thou labor
and on the seventh, thou shalt
rest." That was the beginning
of vacation.
Heine said that not knowing
exactly which was the seventh
day—from the standpoint of
eternity—he often rested all
week long to make sure that he
rested on the real seventh day.
That of course was rationaliza-
tion. What Heine really meant
was that he often felt if one
day’s vacation was good, seven
days would be still better.
We take vacations too lightly.
We say we go on vacation to
rest and have fun. We try to
hide the fact that our real pur-
pose is much more serious—
education. We are afraid to
disclose our real intent, lest we
be labelled “egg heads” and
forfeit our chance to get elected
President
The fact that it is educational
was indicated long ago by the
w sest of men—Solomon him-
self. “Go to the ant, thou
sluggard, consider her ways and
be wise," said Solomon. And
when may we get this wisdom
from the ant except on vaca-
tion? To be sure, not all of our
encounters with arits on vaca-
tion yield educational profit In
my own case, the ants tend to
run up my trouser leg and I
spend my time seeking to have
them deported. But then I was
never good at school.
And one of the sages of the
Talmud says that if the Bible
were not given, we could learn
from many of the animals the
very virtues which it enjoins.
And not only virtues! I think
we might also learn efficiency
- Know-how, as we call it. Con-
rider the cow. If man had to
make milk, how complicated
would be the process! There
would be long vats, pipes,
steam boilers and men in over-
alls, would be standing over
them working laboriously and
sweating, making the white
milk. But what does a cow do
to make milk?
Nothing except eat!
That is efficiency. —
I have a friend who thinks
that diplomas and degrees
should be awarded to those who
are proficient in vacation. Some
people, he avers, are completely
no good at it The commonest
mistake, he says, is to set out
