We will fight against the "White Paper" as if Hitler does not exist, and will fight against Hitler, as if there is no "White Paper." — David Ben-Gurion Friday, September 1, 1978 39 Rationale for Taking It Easy By DAVID SCHWARTZ (Copyright 1978, JTA, Inc.) Labor Day is here — the end of the vacation period. No more of the business of sitting around doing noth- ing. From now on, you roll up your sleeves and work, labor. I remember a fellow who was running for COngress down south, who said, "I am for labor. I would rather be for labor than labor." Yes, to labor, to work, is not easy, but work is highly praised. They say work keeps you out of mischief and who wants to be in mis- chief, although sometimes mischief can be enjoyable. Labor omnia vincit, says the Latin proverb. "Work conquers everything." "I am not afraid of work. I can lay right down beside it and go to sleep," a fellow once said. Benjamin Franklin was very much in favor of work. You remember his "early to bed and early to rise" ad- vice. But Franklin sold his business while he was still in his 40s and retired to play. He went out flying a kite and it was then that he made his electrical dis- coveries. But work is a great thing. As they say, "You've got to eat." But there are some disadvantages to it. As they say, "You'll never get rich working." The millionaires don't work. They play golf. You hear workers com- plaining of not being mil- lionaires. Why don't they take up golf? Just about a century back, there was a young fel- low in Cleveland whose father peddled patent medicines. The son was going to school, hoping to rise above the economic sta- tion of his father. But his school mates all said he would never amount to much because he spent all his time figuring ways to get out of work. His name was John D. Rockefeller. The famous Rabbi Leib Yitzchaok of Berdichef once saw a fellow rushing for all he was worth. "Why are you rushing?" he asked. "I am going after my livelihood," said the fellow. "How do you know that your livelihood is not be- hind you?" asked the rabbi. Maybe if the fellow went slower, he would think more and be more worthwhile to his employers. speed is reduced." This, says the professor, applies to running or anything you do. You perform better by not working too hard. Einstein said the Jews' greatest contribution to civilization was the sabbath or weekly rest day. The sab- bath was the first moment- ous step in civilizing man. Once a week, man could According to Prof. pause and think about Laurence E. Morehouse, something other than his director of the Human job. Performance Laboratory of the University of California, the best re- sults in any effort are ob- tained if you don't work too hard. As Leonard Gross in The New York Times writes: Prof. Morehouse contends that "every time you make any movement, you must contract and then relax a muscle. If you work too hard, it becomes difficult to do the relaxing, so the W. C.
