The Moving Finger
BY l.. A. THOMPSON

This is Family week. Throughout
the country some thoughtful people
take time to think and talk ABOUT
the American family. 1t Is generally
agreed that the family is the back
bone of any nation. They say that
where the family ties are strong
that community or nation has
much of which it could be proud;
but where the ties are weak moral
chaos and its attendant evils are
lurking just around the corner.
A little reflection on the home
should not be out of place during
Family week. In this ultra-modren
age, older people look with alarm
upon the dying Influence of home
life. A time there was not quite
two generations ago - when the
source of authority governing the
family was in the home. But alas!
Most of that authority has been re-
duced almost to the vanishing
point.
Some say that the home has been
caught mapping in the swirl of the
New Democracy, in the avalanche
of economic and social changes and
by this industrial age, but will re-
gain its balance some day! When
that glorious time viii come some
OF the top-ranking social workers
might venture to tell.
Society is paying a high pfice for
this loss of authority in the home.
The overwhelming increase of juv.
emile and adult delinquency, the oc-
cassional murder of parents by
chilrren whom they attempt to cor
rect or to restrain from running
wild, the large number of divorces
all show that there Is something
very rotten in Denmark" Just
