JourneyS-Short and Long
BY ELWOOD LLOYD

Along at this time Of the year,
when most of us are either planning
to go upon our annual vacations
or are returning to the job full Of
Cncrgy-the subject of journeys is
one of common thought.
Speaking of journeys, how would
we stand if We were to be called
from home on long journey, never
to return? How would such a jour
ney affect the loved ones left at
home?
Here is little inventory form
which has been suggested for mcm
to fill in, as a forward looking meas
ure against such a journcy-und we
all have to take it some time, you
know. The inventory will disclose
ones actual financial condition, and
those at the heads Of families will
find it a pcace-making guide for fur
thcr action.

A lady visiting.i in Flagstaff for the
summer, famous in her own city as a
social worker, tried to keep in prac-

slums, but Of course we have county
jail. So she visited il and was grant
ed permission to talk to those board

first prisoner she talked with was
rather unfortunate
"Was it your craving for strong
drink that brought you here?" she
asked.
