WHAT ONE DOESN'T KNOW
ABOUT HE NEVER MISSES
BIZ VICTOR MEEkINS

There is too much talk about
delinquent children. We so often
hear it said, it is the parents who
are delinquent. This is true to the
great extent, yet it seems to me it
is the result of today's methods of
living. 1t is a sad situation that
has come about; the result of a
combination of things.
In mans pursuit for ease and
comfort, and his apparent success
in reaching his goal, he has lost
some things that perhaps are
more important. A life of COM
plete ease, of complete freedom
from any sense of insecurity, 1t
seems to me fruitless and vapid
sort of existence. One might be a
bird fitting from tree to tree with
his stomach completely filled at
all times. Chances are however,
that this kind of bird would be-
come too lazy even to fit from
tree to tree.
Anyway, mans pursuit for the
least important things in life; his
desire to make life easier for his
children, than was the life he lived
as a lad; his desire to keep up
with the Joneses and the desire
of his wife to Guido them, has
caused both husband and wife in
too many instances to neglect
their children and permit them to
grow up as unattended as weeds
in a hedgerow.
Today's struggle to keep on top
leaves a man so exhausted that he
comes home unfit to be good COM
pany for his family. Too often the
wife is equally tired from working

money one has earned through his
labor or resourcefulness. We knew
that the little our parents could
give us came only from their hard
struggles and often bitter self
denial, out of their intense love
for us. For our parents were not
gadding here and there leaving us
to the indifferent fare of all sorts
of baby-sitters. We knew that in
time of unhappiness our parents
would comfort US, and in time of
Encouragement would uplift us
with whole hearted praise and en-
couraging words. When Christmas
or birthdays, or seldom festive oc-
casions came around, these all
were times of joy and not some
thing quickly cast aside and for
gotten, but on the other hand re-
membered through the years and
lived over and over again along
the long, long lanes of happy
memory.
Yes indeed, the young today
have too much, of some things,
and not enough of others. The
things they have most do not
make for lasting joy. We may con-
tent ourself with the old platitude
that "what one doesn't know
about he never missed
But those of us who lived in
fuller days and longer years know
better.
