HAL
BOYLE
SAYS
BY HAL BOYLE

NEW YORK R-The explosion
of an H-bomb weapon in the
Pacific may have startled the dip
lomatic world. The average Ameri-
can, however, took little more note
than if, on a summer night, he
had glanced up and seen a star
fall.
Previous tid.Ea- of other new
and marvellous ways in which the
human race could destroy itself
have exhausted his capacity for
error and dismay.
The ordinary mortal today Is
ired of being frightened by graph
ic previews of what may befall
him. He has eaten the bread of
crisis so long it has come to have
a stale taste.
People were so upset over the
atom bomb that the wider threat
of the H-bomb can hardly appall
them. You have to rest from fear
sometime, and the average man
feels like taking a seve.ith-inning
stretch right now.
$50 maybe I'll get conked some
time by an H-bomb instead of an
atom bomb" he thinks. ''What diff
ference does it make to a fly
whether it is Swatted with a rolled
up newspaper or a baseball bat?"
He is also losing his ability to
marvel at the fresh marvels of
science, because so many Of its
wonders turn out to be blunders.
This has been a fearful and tre-
mendous century of strident and
continuous change, multiple deaf
and vast growth. 1t is perhaps the
most adventurous and exploratory
century in history, one that has
thrown a small candle of light into
the darkness of strange new worlds
which seem to many more terrify-
ing than inviting.
A man who is only as old as this
century just So years--has endured
lot. He has weathered at least
three depressions and two and a
half world wars. When he pauses to
catch his breath and look back, it
seems to him that nothing has re-
manned unchanged with the possi-
BILE exception of mother love.
The safe-seeming world he was
born into has vanished long ago.
He has seen the horse and buggy
replaced by the jet plane, the
Stereoscope slide give way to the
televiSion image, chewing tobacco
succeeded by bubble gum.
The key phrase of that sturdy,
distant time was "all / want is a
fair chance, an opportunity to
show what I can do" Badgered
and bedevilled by these years of
ceaseless change, a 52-year-oId
man today works fewer hours than
his father did. But his leisure also
is now tormented by fears of new
d Dom his grandfather never
dreamed Of even in his night
mares.
1t is no wonder that this middle
age man in a middle-aged century
now often yearnS, most Of all, for
some form of security, sanctuary
from the threat of immense danger
that has palled his times almost
as long as he can remember. Even
the young, ordinarily venture
some, are infected today by the
craving for a kind of security no
generation ever really has had in
The long hard lot of mankind on
This earth.
The ordinary mortal would like
science to quit dealing UP fresh
maSsldeath instruments and build
him instead an escape hatch from
the perils of the Twentieth Gen.
tury.
But in his heart he knows the
wry truth: there is no escape
hatch. A man must live in the
time he has been allotted, and
face its tasks with what courage
and kindness and hope he can mus
ter.
