Small Worlds
Around Us
By Lynn M. Watkins
I other materials without hav
ing enjoyed the faintest flavor
or taste in its mouth. Of
course there are insects that
the bird may eat that cause
it discomfort or even sickness;
or in the case of bees, wasps
and hornets actual pain.
So the bird learns, probably
by the color, shape or size
those foods that are better
left alone. Once the lesson is
learned the bird will avoid
them in the future. Memory
takes the place of smell.
The fact that a bird can
remember these things, prob
ably for all its life, can be
proved by feeding a young
bird, raised in captivity, a
worm or bug that is objec
tionable. After the second or
third encounter, the voune
bird will refuse that kind of
food. Inasmuch as it cannot
smell it must depend on its
memory or how the "bad bug'
looks.
The young bird in the nest,
when fed by the parent birds,
will never be offered objec
tionable worms or bugs, for
the parents themselves would
avoid them. When it leaves
the Best, the youngster is on
its own and must learn from
experience. It soon knows
what to grab and what to
leave alone.
The inability to smell comes
in handy to a few bird species,
especially to those that are
flesheaters such as the owls,
hawks, buzzards and eagles.
The scavenger birds such as
the buzzards would be in a
sad state if they could smell,
for these birds feed on car
rion or flesh that it putrified;
flesh so vile that even a man
with a bad head cold could
hardly stand It in the near
vicinity.
Likes Dead Skunk
The great horned owls pre
fers dead skunk meat to most
any other food and is prob
ably one of the skunk's worst
enemies.
The owl, with its feathers
and the entire neighborhood
reeking with the potent scent,
will gobble down the carcass
of a dead skunk. Where the
horned owl is concerned, the
poor skunk is defenseless.
The stupid skunk just can t
understand that its enemy
with the sharp talons and the
tearing beak has no more abil
ity to smell than a human
with a bad cold in his head.

Western World Rings Materialism Bell
But We Don t Appear as 'Happy as Kings'
How to Live in Abundance
Without Choking
In a little couplet entitled
"Happy Thought" Robert
Louis Stevenson wrote, "The
world is so full of a number
of things, I'm sure we should
all be as happy as kings."
The western world is full
of things, all right. We've
rung the bell of materialism;
we've won the cigar. No oth
er civilization has even come
close.
But are we "huppy as
kings" or do we give the lie
to Stevenson's happy thought
with our neuroses, our ten
sions and depressions, our di
vorce and alcoholism and de-
linquency-our emotional trou
bles?
Perhaps we haven't yet
learned to live with all our
things. Instead of possessing
them, they may possess us.
We may have turned posses
sion into obsession. Some peo
ple do
Police records in New York
tell of a young couple who
met in a displaced persons
camp in Poland, were married
in Switzerland, and then
came to the United States to
build a happy life. The Amer
ican fairyland of things set
their heads spinning. And
I they promptly set about mak
ing themselves "as happy as
! kings."
I Began To Quarrel
! "The wife was making a
rapid change-over from Euro
; pean ways of thinking and
spent large amounts of money
on clothes and beauty parlor
treatments," the police re
port states. The largess of it
all apparently went to their
heads. They began to quarrel.
Quarreling became more bit
ter. When the police entered
the picture, the young wife
was dead, slabbed by her hus
band, and he had committed
suicide. A physician's report,
attached to the police rec
ords, stps, "Had they stayed
in Europe where there are
not as many beauty parlors.

nylon stockings and other
such things, they would have

Even in less melodramatic
circumstances, materialism
can indeed be fatal. A doctor
I know refers to "materio
sclerosis" (as well as arterio
sclerosis) as a major killer
of our time. "It's a frequent
medical syndrome," he says,
"a man killing himself in the
mad materialistic race-trying
to be the richest man in the
cemetery."
The slory Is told of a suc
cessful . businessman who,
looking ahead, bought two
choice cemetery plots for him
self and his wife and then
went to a stone engraver to
order a pair of monuments.
He instructed the stone en
graver to inscribe on his
wife's monument, "She Died
of Things."
"And what shall I inscribe
on your own monument," the
engraver inquired.
"Put 'He Died Providing
Them'," the businessman re
plied.
A Production Race
A decade ago one often
heard the phrase "Commu
nist materialism," and speech
makers referred to Russian
culture as "the great mater
ialism" which had to be
checked lest spiritual values
were suffocated totally. Later
other speechmakers, recogniz
ing that in the sheer produc
tion of "things" nothing holds
a candle to capitalism, warned
that "the two great material
isms" might knock each other
out unless spiritual forces
came to the rescue.
Today we have still a dif
ferent picture: Communism
and capitalism in a race to
out-produce each other. The
Russians have offered it as a
taunt that they will catch up
to us, overtake us, and deign
to wave at us as they go by.
This seems slightly ridicu
lous, since our problem is sur
pluses. We already have an
abundance, some would say
an over - abundance, of
"things". Yet many of us
have fallen for the Russian
taunt and believe our destiny
is a wild race to produce
more and more of what we
already have too much of.
Wouldn't it be wiser goal
to learn how to live with the
abundant material production
we've achieved?
Signs of the glut are' quite
clearly upon us. We made au
tomobiles so big they couldn't
fit in our garages. We made
them so long and so fancy
that now we are having to
make them shorter and plain-
We made them so wide
that Attorney General Kelso
Roberts of Ontario, Canada,
had to warn the manufac
turers that nine models were
too wide to fit legally on On
tario's highways.
Enough Things
Our problem of production
has been solved, and solved
beautifully. We can produce
enough "things" to embellish
any life a dozen times over.
Our people do not queue up
and wait and vie with each
other to buy a few precious
household appliances, or
clothes, or furnishings. Our
stores are aglitter with plen
ty; our merchants vie to sell.
The Soviet may indeed
catch up to us someday in
production. That's its prob
lem. Not ours. Our challenge
is to make abundance add
real riches to our lives, jo that
material things enhance our
happiness rather than throw
ing us into what often is
called the "rat race"-the mis
erable struggle for more and
Q32EB0
more with no real ability to
enjoy what we have.
If we learn to master
"things'' instead of letting
''things" muster us, the Rus
sians will never get that
chance to wave condescend
ingly as they pass us by. For
when, and if, they reach our
present levels of production
we'll be far out ahead in an
even more difficult race:
learning how to live with our
products. '
Whether material things en
rich or enslave us depends on
our attitude toward them.
Why do we get them? To
keep up with the Jonses, to
satisfy infantile cravings (like
a child's constant demand for
new toys), to appease the neu
rotic desire for more no mat
ter how much we already
have? A line in a popular
ditty sums up the more-ism of
our time: "All I want is all
there is-and more."

a Diesel streamliner tor the
sojourn through the wilder
ness. I don't doubt that Mo
hammed would have consid
ered an air-conditioner an as
set in the desert. Jesus, no
doubt, would have accepted
the tractor and the harvester
as a boon to the farmers of
Judea.
There is nothing wrong
with "things." It's our atti
tude toward them which
makes all the difference.
A healthy altitude has four
hallmarks:
1. Your possessions become
a part of you. The things you
acquire are extensions of your
person. Like the house you
live in they become a reflec
tion of you and a part of you.
Thus you choose them with
care. They are images of your
taste. It has been said, "Show
me a man's possessions and I
have met the man."
2. You love and care for
your possessions. An infant
breaks his toys, Some adults
follow the same pattern, us
ing and destroying; they are
literally consumers, consum
ing and annihilating the
things in their possession. But
heallhy possession involves

shifts from breaking toys to
fixino thnm. The mniurn adult
gives love and care to what

he owns, gets Joy and the
pride of possession in return.
Must Earn Things
i. You help create, or make
some sacrifice for your pos
sessions. To get is to have, but
to earn is to own. When you
create something yourself -a
table In your basement
workshop or a hooked rug
you feel it really belongs to
you. You have poured your
self into it. You also have in
vested something of yourself
when you patiently put aside
a little money this week, next
week, and the week after so
lhat you can buy a thing your
heart is set on. You get the
I return of your sacrifice - in
satisfaction
. you are able to enjoy
your possessions. You buy a
child a new toy and after a
few days he tires of it; he
wants another shiny play
thing. You say, "Oh well, he's
Just a child." Some children
never get over it. Tney be
come adults whose lives must
be embellished with one bau
ble after another; they tire
as soon as the shine wears off.
But with a healthy attitude
toward possession, one grows
more fond of It is possessions
as time goes on. He devotes
time and interest to them. He
is rewarded, in turn, with in
creased enjoyment.
Possessions, after all, are
only a means toward a better
life - not ends in themselves.
