So That’s How —1 (From Page 34) industry. Every living thing, now, in the future, and in the past, is descended from a common ancestor, bom in the ancient seas. Anti-abortionists argue over when life begins. It has never ended, yet. You can’t fertilize a live ovum with a dead sperm, or vice versa. Life can only come from life, nothing else. Darwin never said man came from apes, we are only related via a cbmmon ancestor. NOW CONSIDER RELIGION - any religion. It all began when man first banded together for mutual protection from other bands of men and animals. Wooden, and later, stone walls were erected to encompass the village. Gates had to be provided to give access to the surrounding farms. One gate was used to carry out the garbage and waste, the Biblical Dung Gate. As modem cities have found out, this soon draws vermin, so they resorted to burning. As anyone knows who has tried to bum compost trash, you have to tend the fire, turning it (Sver to provide fresh oxygen. So a member of the village was chosen to tend the fire: one not very bright, with a strong back, and not fit for much else. As the elders of the village observed this man moving among the smoke and flame, dirty and disreputable, they would admonish their children: ‘‘Now you behave and be good, or you will be cast into Gehenna, and the Devil will make you work and sweat for the rest of your life.” (Later extended to eternity.) EVERYONE WHO HAS TENDED a trash fire needs a tool to pick up and .turn over the burning material. The best tol is a pitchfork, 6f course. Now the modern picture is complete. Tradifion becomes fact down through the ages. » Back to the ancient villages again, and another tradition started. On a high holy day, the village elder — call him shaman, priest or rabbi — would circulate a scroll on whidh the people would write down their troubles. This was tied on the back of a goat, which with due ceremony was chased out of the village. Its napie survives today; the scapegoat. But as the years passed, they found they needed a more powerful figure. So they used Man. Traditions have caused us to lose sight of our humble beginning. We are so conceited we think we are the lords of creation. We are not. Animals we are, and animals we remain. Theodore Lederach is a Rio Grande resident.

Hospital Capsule

Burdette Tomlin Hospital, the only hospital in Cape May County, will break ground in the spring to begin construction of a five-story "patient tower." The start of construction will, mark the beginning of a $33 million expansion and modernization program. The hospital has embarked upon a $1.5 million fund drive. To acquaint readers with this most ambitious public service- construction project in the history of thg county, a series of capsulized questions and answ&s will appear periodically. Q. Why Is Burdette Tomlin Hospital constructing a five-«tory patient tower? A. A large portion of the existing hospital was constructed 30 years ago and in stages thereafter up to and including completion in 1974 of the Whiticar WingN With the exception of portions of the whiticar Wing, most of the patient service areas are not adequate to meet patient care needs. Most of the plder portions of Jp>e

hospital do not meet current design code requirements of state and federal health agencies. It is impossible to modernize these portions of the hospital without seriously disrupting the hospital care needs of the residents of Cape May County. During the past several years, the Board of Governors and hospital medical and nursing staffs have been reviewing options and design plans which would solve this problem. The conclusion reached by them and approved by every local, state and federal government agency involved in hospital care is the construction of a new -patient tower containing 132 patient beds and total iTiodernization of the existing patient areas. This renovation requires the removal of 64 non-conforming beds. This program will result in an increase of patient beds from the present 171 to 239. The 68 bed increase will enable Burdette Tomlin Memorial Hospital to meet present and future hospital care needs of the residents of this county.

British Seagull 387 The Christmas Bird by Ima Byrd (Editor s note: The Midnight Gull has presented the world with his own holiday song Tf)e story was given to him by a frjend who loves and understands birds of all kinds. Midnight wrote a song about it and would like to share it with you this season.} The icy rain and snow dropped-down. Upon December's murky ground T’was Christmastime, that yearly gift, bestowed upon all mankind's woe The lights hugged tightly to the homes, protected by the skills of man Just waiting for the dark to set so all their brillance they could show. And there among the lilRc bush, now hare except for flowers dried ^ There pame the Cardinal, Christmas bird, to decorate my troubled soul And after moments came his mate, a beauty though not quite as bright . Together they Searched for the seed I'd idly tossed out earlier. > , Then suddenly the gay red bird flew right up to my window sill And with his mustached. bearded face, he looked right through the glass at me His little feathered funny form inquisitivd/searched my own And th<?n in silent soft sure wings he disappeared...and'so was gone! . 9 And so the lilac tree was still, except for cockey blue jay A sparrow or a gentle wren took over branches slicked, with cold. • ( . * I never saw' the Christmans Bird, until that bleak December mom When children gathered round their tree to open up their presents great T’was then I looked out at the dawn dnd saw my own great Christmas tree Ablaze with red oh every limb, it was enough to warm my soul. * t For Christmas Bird had brought his friends, lijs children-r-all his relatives, * . \ And there they sang a Christmas song that only angcls\ understand ■ ' ,1 called the children from their play and motioned quietly to them Until they stbod, each one by me to marvel at this joyful sight. Tis true, as mortal fashion deeds, they did return to structured joy But deep within their spirit lives the wonder df the Christmas Bird. NEXT WEEK: How Birds Celebrate New Years Eve
