yowl when stepped on. a fate he
courts continuously.
It's so peaceful in the city, by
comparison.
~
There is even time and space
to contemplate and SAVIOR the
fresh approach which these sum-
mer respiteS are supposed to
bring. 1t is genuine, the new out
look, and genuinely reassuring.
Only a few weeks ago, when
the Presley craze was getting up
full steam. a staggering thought
exploded in the mind. 1t shook
the foundations Of the fairly
universal urge Of almost every
one to leave the world in better
shape than he found it in.
If this Presley manifestation
in particular and rock-and-roll
in general are a fair indication
of the tastes of the young there
is not much point in trying to
make it a better world. They
don't variant or nee-heed a
better world and they wouldn't
know what to doo-hoo with it
If they had it.
That's how it seemed amid the
photographic din, but suddenly
reason and sanity appeared
again. 1t happened just the other
night. Daughter was for the
18th time reading a magazine
piece about the Sideburns Kid,
snarling fitfully at its author now
and then. The boys were, under
protest, giving in to sug-
gestions that they hit the sack.
The television was displaying
a true-life comedy-meludrama
in which the Baltimore Orioles,
OF all people, were knocking the
Boston Red Sox all over Fen
way Park. The announcer cut
in with score of the Washing
ton-New York game and there
was an immediate reaction aloft.
Hey" called one of the boys.
let us know right away if
Mickey Mantle hits his 47th
home rum"
X 4 \
1t was enough to make a man
stop fretting Immediately about
the strange tastes Of the Presle-
teers. There is an even younger
generation coming along which
will set things in order soon
enough. 1t is a generation which
will see things in perspective,
which will know what is impor-
tant and what isn't.
1t is a generation which SURELY
deserves any better world we can
hand down to it. A better world
with closer fences, livelier base
balls and Sc home runs a season

This makes it a pretty sight
for all who fancy clean desks

whose desks usually are unclut-

a pretty sight, but it is some

He's forever going off on some
