ORDINARLY age brings certain privileges. One of the O greatest of them perEaps is that of watching from the sdeines the growth and progress of chdrens families
 Certainly of the rewards of being mother is becom ing grandmother to enjoy sons and daughters children to the f while leaving the responsibility for them in other hands,
 The which has changed many things has changed this oo When the took sonswhen it broke up chdrens homest gave back to Americas grandmothers responsibilities which had passed on long ago. The priv ege of growing older quietly has been denied the of our generation while this war lasts.
 For today, grandchildren need help And it is in power to give them greater help perhaps, than any grandparents ever gave before.
