team score of 80 victories to IA
defeats. Columbia had an 83-16
mark and third-place Navy, ST.

THEY WON'T BE LATE +!

Maybe they slow in dressing ). probably
they dawdled a bit over breakfast /. but if you
know the gait of those little legs you can be
sure they won't be late.
This IS of the fascinating paradoxes of
youth. child may have to be prodded to get to
school on time-yet he doesn't want to be late!
And the paradox has implication for parents
as they plan the religious education of their
children Jimmy may reluctant about his
first trip to Church School and Susan may
shed when Mother leaves" her in the
Beginners Department. But wise parents never
delay their youngsters religious training. 1t is
unfair to handicap child with late start in the
vital process of moral and spiritual growth.
Inquire at the church Of your choice, and bring
your child TO Church School soon as he is
of age.
And remember, parents need religious train
ing too, If you do not now attend Church reRu-
larly, start with Jimmy and Susan.

Imanpower to weapons, and Gov
ernment officials here dare to
hope that the Kremlin has
reached the same conclusion
that maintaining both nuclear
and non-nuclear military forces
costs too much.
Part Of the, gamble lies in the
diflculty in checking what the
Soviet Union strategists actually
are doing.
Fear Russian Capacity
Those apprehensive about
American strategy do not believe
the Soviet Union is restricting
its conventional capacity nearly
as much as the United States
They fear the Soviet Union may
