SPIRES OF THE SPIRIT

home problem Is perhaps the
most vital that she faces. It
was mine recently to spend
a reStful week end at the
retreat home of an outstand-
ing American whose splendid
powers of leadership are
being dedicated to the de-
tense Of the Republic in these
days Of her sternest test.
This haven Of rest is located
where the bay and river meet,
on the romantic shores Of
old Virginia. Close to the
central house with its pic
ture windows overlooking the
lovely water vistas are two
comfortable guest cottages
with every convenience for
relaxed yet gracious living.
During the weeks of the
past summer one visiting this
delectable spot would have
found a gathering of the
family clan in a spirit Of
delightful togetherness. In
the central building wefe
housed father and mother,
two sons, their wives and
children. In the cottages
were the parents Of the mas
ter and mistress Of the manor
These great-grandparents Of
the younger members of this
family colony had come from
as far away as Florida and
California to complete the
gathering Of the generations.
Here was portrayed the
strength Of America, even as
the weakness Of the regi-
mented system Of Russia and
China is being revealed in
the disregard and diSinte-
grafton Of home ties.
Reveling In this scene Of
domestic felicity as / sat by
the banks Of the placid river,
! found myself reading a
letter from one who each
week is in the "Spire" audi
ence. In that epiStle was a
gloomy recital Of the symp-
toms which suggest that
something is seriously wrong
in the life Of America-with
its Juvenile delinquency, its
teen-age revolt from the
"old-fashioned" standards of
conduct, its emphasis on
rights rather than RESPONSE
bilities, its refusal to accept
the disciplines of today
which mean the rewards of
the future. The question
raised in this epistle was,
where is the blot? Where
is the fault? What has gone
wrong?" In any appraisal OF
the present situation one is
forced to answer: Something
is definitely wrong with what
is left of the American home
For a better tomorrow the
hope s~the home.
Putting the anxious letter
in my pocket and musing by
the water, I knew in my
heart that the remedy for
most Of the social ills II
listed is to be found in a re-
turn to the shared ideals and
principles Of the sort OF
home whose hospitality 1 was
enjoying; as four generations
were finding their highest
happiness in thinking and
playing and living together
in an atmosphere of under
standing and affection, keep
ing alive hallowed memories
the closest tie that human.
can know. I found myself
quoting the verse of a loved
hymn:

The first step toward a

registered so they can vote.

Landlord Of Maryland, told
the Women's Democratic Club
Of Charles County, Md, last
night.
The legislator, who was in
vited to speak at a meeting of
the club in the American Le-
gion Hall at La Plata, said he
understands there are almost
5000 eligible voters in Charles
County who have not reg
iStered.
Citing studies which show
that women who didn't reg
lister and vote in the last
presidential election often
were the wives of men who
voted Democratic, he added:
IF we can persuade those
wives to register and vote this
year, we will substantially in
crease our Democratic voting
strength"
Maryland's 1860 election Is
unique in that for the first
time in more than 20 years
here are no Statewide can
didates, Mr.. Lankford de-
clared.
This means" he asserted,
that this election will be
won at the precinct level by
our grassroots workers such
as you who are members of
this club.
Precinct workers hold the
key to victory in November.
Only with their wholeheart-
ed, unstinting effort can we

NEW YORK, Sept. 13 (AP),
Modern mans comfortable,
controlled environment may
cost him much OF his precious
ability to adapt-and survive,
a scientist suggested today.
The danger lies in failing to
use a natural gift held by even
the simplest bacteria-the abil-
ity to adapt within limits to
ones environment.
DR.. Van r. Potter of the
University of Wisconsin re-
ported this to a meeting Of the
American Chemical Society.
Earlier, in a news conference,
he suggested that man may be
facing a road that long ago
led the dinoSaur and other
creatures to extinction.
In bioAchemistry. even the
simplest Of germs has the abil-
ity to adapt to some changes in
his environment. This adapt
ability is seen in the process
called feed back.
If you provide a bacteria with
an essential chemical it nor
mally makes for itself, it stops
making the chemical by send
ing some of its surplus back
along the production line to
lock up the machinery.
When the surplus material
is used up, the chemical pro-
duction line is freed and begins
producing again.
Evening star., 1960-09-13
.IsModern Man Loqfinq
His Way to Extinction?

So each individual, human or
one-celled, is allowed some
changes within its. particular
genetic pattern.
Darwin once suggested that
man would evolve to perfect
form, DR.. Potter said. But man
must be aware that the vast
majority of species have be-
come extinct and the possibil-
ity exists for mankind, too.
There are obvious dangers in
obesity and lack of muscle de-
velopment which depreciates
mans ability to meet severe
physical challenge. Less obvi-
Gus and less easily recovered
are mental Skills and attitudes,
DR.! Potter said.
