Actually his family has survived successfully through millions of years while Many other species became extinct. There Are two reasons for this Success Story. One is the opos sum s cautious peace Loving character. The other is some thing to do with those very tiny opossum babies. People who think the opossum is stupid May never have met him on Friendly terms. Or per haps they judge him by their own ideas of what is smart a handsome opossum named Gerald happens to live in a Little Den Way Back in Andy s Garden. Every evening at 8 he comes to the Patio where he finds a paper plate of meat scraps fruit and vegetables. He dines slowly using his 50 Sharp Teeth to Chew every bite and washing his Dainty hands after each course. He saves the fruit until last Gerald docs All this slowly while cautiously glancing around. When a sound or Shadow seems suspicious he disappears into the shrubbery. How Ever he is polite and Friendly to polite and Friendly visitors. Like All opossums he is a de Vout pacifist some things scare him though be never gets angry and he tries not to stir up anger in other animals. His gentle non aggressive character keeps the opossum out of trouble and helped his family to survive through More than 60 million years. During this time Saber toothed tigers and dozens of other More aggressive species became extinct he May also survive the age of pollution better than most living species. This is be cause he produces Large families of very tiny babies. His Long Success Story dates Back to ancient times when Many of the mammals were marsupials wee the pouched kangaroos of Australia. These animals Bear tiny immature babies and incubate them in the Mother s Pouch. Mrs. Opossum May Bear a litter of 20 Bee sized babies weighing about two Grams apiece. The infants Are Blind and naked. But they know enough to scramble through her fur and creep into Ter Pouch. She has Only 12 or 13 milk so the late Comers of sum s survival record is so successful. A very successful animal has Little reason to change to keep Pace with the times. This May be Why the opossum remained a Marsupial Long after other marsupials became extinct through most of the world. And All marsupials Bear immature Little babies which Are incubated in the Mother s Pouch. In this matter our opossum is a relic from the Remote past Andy sends a world Book Globe to Tim age 10, of Lancaster Pennsyl. Vania for his question whys the South pole colder than the North pole Tife huge Antarctic ice Cap wastes its summer Sunshine and saves very Little warmth or the Winter. One reason is because solid ice Fields absorb Only about 25 per cent of the Sun s radiation and reflect the rest Back into space. Another reason is because the solid land oses its warmth faster than the oceans. The South pole Conti nent covers about five million Square Miles and most of it is far from the Milder Waters of tiie sea. This is Why it is the coldest place in the world. The North pole is under the Arctic Ocean. The global Ocean s always mixing warm and Cool currents and some of the warmer water gets up into the Arctic. This makes the water a ittle warmer even under the Winter ice. The North pole also warmer because the sea saves the warmth it gets from the summer Sunshine. Andy sends a world Bock Globe to Sheryl Jewell age 9, of Spokane Washington for her question where does the water go at Low tide the world is a big round Ball but we see Only a Small piece history today us made efforts to acquire Canada Many people Are concerned about american ownership of Canadian Industry and the possibility that the states might take Over Canada completely. On the other hand it is said that republicans would never agree to the takeover because they believe most canadians would vote demo crat there has always been a possibility that the would acquire Canada. Benjamin Franklin made a Strong Effort to get Canada during the peace of Paris negotiations in 1782. Then the americans tried to capture Canada by Force in 1812. Another Effort to get Canada by negotiation was made during the Washington conference of 1870. In fact this was one of the most dangerous periods from Canada s Point of View. In 1870, railway building was in full swing in the . And the St. Paul and Pacific railway was the springboard for transcontinental lines. Feb. 19, 1869, the . Senate received a report that said the opening by us first of a North Pacific Railroad seals the destiny of British pos sessions West of the 91st parallel. American annexation will be but a question of the 91st parallel runs through the Western end of Lake Superior near Thunder Bay. It was about this time that the . Offered the Hudson s Bay company for its territory. Canada was forced to take rapid action and obtained the territory for and 20 million acres of land. Plans were also made to build the first Canadian transcontinental railway but they fell through owing to the Campaign fund scandal in 1873. However even As late As 1885, when the Ca Nadian Pacific railway was completed sir John a. Macdonald feared that Britain might abandon Canada which would then be easy prey for the .

Number and be come a human being when does a myth or what seemed a myth because it seemed so unreal become big Ger than life itself i found out personally just a few Days ago in a very special Way with about 350 people seated in a Large room a Tele phone Call was placed to mos cow Russia. Within scant min utes i found myself speaking to a new phone pal a jewish Man waiting to leave Russia. But the most exciting thing was that we spoke not in russian nor nor yiddish but in the language of Isaiah the hebrew language of the Bible. Why did i Call him to Rind out person to person the Story Bekind the Story to meet the Man and not merely to hear about Statis tics. My readers May recall that i had visited Russia in 1961 and then wrote about what i had seen describing my views of the jewish situation there Al most exactly 11 years ago. There were a few jews who had Hope then but mostly i found them full of despair and deeply anguished. No Way out they believed no Way out of the prison of Russia. But this sunday morning i re discovered the meaning of human Hope. My new found phone pal in Moscow was waiting to go to Israel he said. Are you i asked. No i have been thrown out of m. M of it and this seems to be Flat my Job a year ago. Be cannot see that the great oceans reach All the Way around the Globe. But they do. Suppose we put some of this water in a Flat bowl and tilted i i continued. Have you committed a crime against the soviet he answered in he brew the authorities threw the Fetters and to Hope with a Small group of jews we were teaching ourselves the language of the Bible. We were learning hebrew preparing to go Back to the land of the i confess that i broke Down at this Point. I could not help but think Back to the Days of the israelite slaves in Egypt who had to wait centuries before they too could be freed. They too were punished because they were hebrews asking pharaoh a simple human civil question let my people what do you need i asked my Friend. He shot Back quickly hebrew tonal books so that we can teach ourselves and our children. For example i have a 13-year-old daughter and she must learn hebrew what else do you i persisted. Only exit he said so we can go Home Home to Zion. We jews Are despised because we want to go Home. We Are therefore deprived of our rights. They Send some of us jail but Well get Home to he said. His voice Rose literally ringing out across the oceans the ageless Hope of All men to be free and human. Well get Home to Zion he Sang out again loud and Clear from Moscow to Toronto for All 350 of us to hear. I will never forget his Faith. And it will always remind me of the truth of Jeremiah s biblical prophecy and there is Hope for thy this sunday a Telephone put two men two worlds two dreams two Hopes together. And in my heart i Sang songs of Praise All that Day and this Day too for the indomitable will the lord has Given Man to break the Bonds and to Loose would Rise up on one Side and Down on the other Side Back and Forth. Something like this happens at High and Low tide. Though naturally the big global picture is a lot More complicated. The Waters of the huge Ocean tip up and Down somewhat like water tipping from Side to Side in a bowl when the tide sinks Down on Beach a High far away beaches. When the fitter get not inf.
