QUOTE

Bertrand Russel in 'History of Western Philosophy,'London, 1948, p. 419
"From India to Spain, the brilliant civilization of Islam flourished. What was lost to christendom at this time was not lost to civilization, but quite the contrary...
"To us it seems that West-European civilization is civilization, but this is a narrow view."

THE STORY

THE MAN WHO SOLD HOT DOGS
-------------------------------
THERE WAS A MAN WHO LIVED BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SOLD HOT DOGS. HE WAS HARD OF HEARING SO HE HAD NO RADIO. HE HAD TROUBLE WITH HIS EYES SO HE READ NO NEWSPAPERS. BUT HE SOLD GOOD HOT DOGS.

HE PUT UP SIGNS ON THE HIGHWAY TELLING HOW GOOD THEY WERE. HE STOOD ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CRIED; "BUY A HOT DOG, MISTER? AND PEOPLE BOUGHT.

HE INCREASED HIS MEAT AND BUN ORDERS. HE BOUGHT A BIGGER STOVE TO TAKE CARE OF HIS TRADE. HE FINALLY GOT HIS SON HOME FROM COLLEGE TO HELP HIM OUT. BUT THEN SOMETHING HAPPENED.

HIS SON SAID, "FATHER, HAVEN'T YOU BEEN LISTENING TO THE RADIO?
HAVEN'T YOU BEEN READING THE NEWSPAPERS?

THERE'S A BIG DEPRESSION...
THE EUROPEAN SITUATION IS TERRIBLE... THE DOMESTIC SITUATION IS EVEN WORSE."

WHERE UPON THE FATHER THOUGHT, "WELL, MY SON'S BEEN TO COLLEGE, HE READS THE PAPERS AND HE LISTENS TO THE RADIO, AND HE OUGHT TO KNOW."

SO THE FATHER CUT DOWN ON HIS MEAT AND BUN ORDERS, TOOK DOWN HIS ADVERTISING SIGNS, AND NO LONGER BOTHERED TO STAND OUT ON THE HIGHWAY TO SELL HIS HOT DOGS.

AND HIS HOT DOG SALES FELL ALMOST OVERNIGHT.

"YOU'RE RIGHT, SON" THE FATHER SAID TO THE BOY. "WE CERTAINLY ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A GREAT DEPRESSION."

MORAL: WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT... THIS STORY SPEAKS VOLUMES. THERE IS NO REAL ECONOMIC DEPRESSION. WE HAVE MADE IT UPON OURSELVES.

A THOUGHT

If a cloud should rain the water of life
Never sip it from the branch of a willow-tree.
Associate not with a base fellow
Because thou canst not eat sugar from a mat-reed.'

THE SMILE

A CHILD'S MIND
------------------
An aged 4 little girl had an earache and wanted a painkiller. She tried in vain to take the lid off the bottle. Seeing her frustration, her Mom explained it was a childproof cap and she'd have to open it for her.

Eyes wide with wonder, the little girl asked: "How does it know it's me?”
