Enjoying Retirement
(Continued from Page 1)
Last year at a party, in conver
sation with a Mend of our
hostess, we mentioned this.
Three weeks later he sent us an
application of a ballroom dance
club, which we joined and at
tend.
Here we also met I. D.
Blumenthal, whose life and
works have enriched all people
in these States and he has left us
a legacy now devotedly ad
minister^ by his brother Her
man and the Blumenthal fami
ly. How much poorer our lives
would have been without Wild-
acres! We retreat there at every
possible opportunity, and lo, our
souls are restored! Our access to
Wildacres is, indeed, one of the
great treasures of our retire
ment.
In exploring the Carolinas, we
found and grew to love the many
gardens, and we learned to
recognize southern trees, shrubs
and flowers, some new to us,
others known only as an expen
sive item in a florist’s shop
destined to be worn as a corsage.
Here we have the thrill of seeing
camellias and gardenias grow
ing at our entranceways. Spring
is an indescribable fairyland, a
glorious scene white and pink
and lavender with do^ood,
flowering fruit trees, wisteria,
azaleas, creating a sight that we
say in Charlotte *‘is at its peak
when you gasp at its beauty.”
We increased our library to
enable us to identify these newly
found flowers and the southern
trees and shrubs. All those
story-book names like
magnolia, willow oaks, cypress
trees and Spanish moss have
become a reality and intimate
objects of our affection.
Tlie autumn scene here is sur
passed only on the slopes of our
mountains and is less exciting
than spring only because it will
be followed by winter weather
colder than we like. But some
years the forsythia blooms on
the first day of February and
then begins again the gorgeous
spectacle of the parade of spring
and summer. Throughout the
winter the grass is almost
always green and most shrubs
and trees are evergreen, some
bright with berries; dogwood
trying to compete with holly and
pyracantha. We saw no snow
during our first three winters in
Charlotte, and that pleased us,
because we consider snow the
dirtiest four-letter word in our
language (followed by WORK).
In spring we go to Myrtle
Beach, where we gaze out upon
the ocean early in the morning
and wonder how Man can
manage to pollute the vastness
of the waters, and are once
again convinced that Nature
must triumph. We gather sea*
shells and use them to adorn
lamps, flower pots and mobiles.
We have travelled up and down
the Outer Banks and once we
offered oursf Ives as a mid-mom-
ing snack to insects in the Dis
mal Swamp. Our leg muscles
have been strengthened and
thighs have grown firmer as we
have walked mountain trails.
We are members of Senior
Scholars, a group which meets
on Tuesday mornings, an
organization that stimulates
continued intellectual, cultural
and spiritual growth. It offers
programs on human relations,
foreign cultures, national and
international politics, religion,
the arts, philoeophy, human
values, and physical and men
tal health.
Have we any complaints?
'n&ere is never enough time.
We are constantly grateful to
enjoy our good health, enabling
us to appreciate and enjoy the
bounty of these years. To all
who ask, “what do you do?” we
reply, “we do the best we can,
never being able to learn all we
hunger to know, nor to see all
the beauty about us.” Living in
North Carolina is luxuriating in
wealth, the prosperity of nature,
the gentleness, politeness and
friendliness of the people. We en
joy tranquility. We need little
more.
Mutual Respect
(Continusd from Page 2)
will be my last Chanukah in
Charlotte as we are moving to
Israel. Perhaps that is a good
symbol of the way Jews and
Christians should interact and
respect each other’s holidays
and customs. For, in the Land of
Israel, there is much respect and
understanding among Jews and
Christians. The freedom of
religious expression is extended
to all without prejudice. It is my
prayer that we may grow in
mutual respect and under
standing for the diversities of
peoples in this world, always
remaining strong in our own
Jewish identity and expression.

WASHINGTON (JTA)—Two
physicists, one the son and the
other the grandson of Jewish
immigrants, became the third
generation of Jewish professors
at Harvard University to win
the Nobel Prize for
adiievements in their specializ
ed field. Sheldon Glashow and
Steven Weinberg, who were
classmates in their high school
and college days and now teach
at Harvard, will share the $193,-
000 award with a Moslem scien
tist from Pakistan, Abdus
Salam. The three scientists
have been friends for years.
The Royal Academy in Stock
holm announced the awards for
their work in the electro
magnetic interaction between
elementary particles. In
announcing the awards, the
Academy said the contributions
of Glashow, Weinberg and
Salam were of great importance
to the development of particle
physics during the 1970s.
Glashow and Weinberg, both
46 years of age, were Iram in
New York City. Glashow is the
