IN LIGHTER VEIN: THE
WEEK'S BEST STORIES

To relieve the tension of the times, we need humor, we must acquire

the sense of recognizing the lighter things in life.
If we abandon the human element, if we stop laughing, we are
doomed. we can not tell a joke, or recognize a good story, then we

are licked by the Nazi attempt to terrorize us.
Therefore, weekly. we shall tell you some of the best stories we will

have gathered for you.
In Rabbi S. Felix Mendelsohn's "Let Laughter Ring." which the
Jewish Publication Society has published, there is a good story related
to PEIA,10Vfq. , and associated with the inability of the Germans to cross

the channel into the British Isles. Here it is:

THE PRAYER REMAINS

UNANSWERED

Shortly after the German in-I
va.sion of Paris. Hitler visited the
Louvre and discovered there a
replica of Michelangelo's Moses.
"This is the greatest piece of scuip- 1
tore in the world," said Hitler, and
ordered it removed to his office at
the chancellory in Berlin.
Higher-ups of the Gestapo, how-
ever, are whispering that Hitler
found in the statue more than art.
Every night before retiring he
kneels before it and offers the
following prayer:
"O Moses. holy Moses! The
damnable Jews claim you as one
of their tribe, but this is only
Judaic propaganda. A great man
like you could not have been any-
thing but a pure Aryan. And so, as
one Aryan to another, will you
kindly tell me just how you crossed
the ancient stretch of water?"

"Twenty minutes to twelve," the
German answered politely.

"Okay," said the boy. "If it's 20
minutes to 12, then at 12 sharp you
can jump into the lake."

don't believe in schnorrers," the
capitalist said.
"All right, then," threatened the
beggar. "I'll tell my brother-in-law
on you." The wealthy one's interest
was pricked. "Your brother-in-law?
Who is that?"
"God," said the schnorrer in an
awesome tone. The rich man, de-
spite himself, was rather shaken.
Being a Jew, he had enough of
superstition in him not to dismiss
any man who seemed to have con-
nections with God.
"But how can God be your

brother-in-law?" he d e m a n d e d.
"Give me the money and I'll ex-
plain to you," the schnorrer prom-
ised. He got the money and spoke:
"It was this way. My father-in-law
had two daughters. On of them I
married. The other one God took."

"Just Between Us"

The virtue of cooperation cannot
be bought. It must spring from the
desire to reward each other by the

outward show of willingness to be
helpful.
Thus to patronize those stores
that patronize your newspaper is
a real act of cooperation and a
real message of thanks.
If anyone does a good deed every
day they can sum up this daily

achievement with a crown of sat-
isfaction.

One good deed, even if not every
day is to have thought for those
whose weekly deed is helpful to

us.

Thus, make one of your good
deeds any day be to patronize
those stores which are supporting

your paper by their advertising.
Selective service is on the lips
cf every good patriotic citizen of
our nation. The care and precision
of this system has equalized the
selection of our brothers, our fath-
ers and our husbands for war
needs.
There is another selective ser-
