~ to try to stop living your chill

Not for the children's sake, pri-

them and were grateful to them for

wanted to get them and their timid.

glorious business of living your own
life.
There comes a moment In the lie
Of every girl Of IS or 16 when her
mother says something like this to
her:
That's the telephone, Joan. And
Il it's the Brown boy you tell him
that you can 60 to the movie. but
you have to come straight home
afterward, and If it's Allan for PHYS
sake don't gush at him as il he were
the only boy in the world, and stop
chewing that gum!"
There comes q time in the life OF
every boy Of II or 10 when his moth
er says something like this to him:
II cannot understand what you
like about that Tom; he isn't the
sort Of friend I like you to have at
all. He's nice enough, but so ordl-
nary! Now if you do 60 out tonight
I want you to be back here by IL;

"Total war annihilates not only

hands the means with which to act
through regular processes of law

''Tota1 defense is not alone a
building of physical and material
bulwarks; it is dependent as much
upon the creation of mental and
