Jewish Youth's

LISTENING
POST

By DANNY RASKIN

Among the birthday cards
awaiting us last week, was an
unsigned poetic achievement
with a snapshot of the Sphinx
against a background of pyra-
mids attached to it. The local
postmark discounted our sus-
picions that it may have come
from a soldier. Here is the poem:

Our spies tell us you don't think
we're so hot.
What has Mount Rushmore that we
haven't got?
But we don't give a needle or pin,
So Happy Birthday to ya', Danny
Raskin!!

CHILDREN'S
CORNER

Dear Boys and Girls:
One of the Ten Command-
ments, as all of you surely know,
is "Honor thy father and thy
mother."
Jewish historical records quote
Rabbi Yehudah as relating the
following story to illustrate how
one person, not a Jew, honored
his father:
"Once Rabbi Eliezer was asked
to what extent one is to honor
his father and mother, and he
replied: To the extent that Dama,
son of Nethina, a gentile of ,
Askalon, honored his father: The
Jewish leaders from Jerusalem
came to him to purchase prec-
ious stones for the High Priest's
vestment, for a fabulous sum of
money which involved a profit
of 600,000 shekels.
"The price was agreed upon,
but the deal had to be concluded
at once. Dama, however, was
unable to get to the safe where
the jewels were kept because
the key was under the pillow
on which his father was lying
sound asleep. Rather than dis-
turb his father, Dama preferred
to lose the sale."
I am sure all of you will be
interested • in this story from
Jewish folk lore.
Today I am sharing with you
some more interesting Jewish
historical facts which all of us
should know.

Nearly 200,000 young men were rejected for

military service because of poor teeth

—

the

greatest single cause of rejection.

Much of this could have been avoided if their

parents had learned this simple fact: Teeth
