This Sunday the entire Nation turns its
thoughts toward the Fathers of the Country.
We give our Fathers recognition in some way
or another, either with some material token,
a mere personal expression, or, if circum
stances are such as not to make either of
these possible, we at least think about him in
some way. This Sunday he is “King for a
Day.”
If all the fathers of the country could meet
and determine for themselves what we of
today could give them which would have the
greatest appreciation, I wonder if it would not
be the confidence for a better World of Tomor
row. Our fathers, as much as we love and
admire them, are responsible for many serious
mistakes. It certainly was lack of foresight
which has permitted another war to be upon
us. And though we cannot place the finger of
responsibility on any one, or any group, we
see the results of their failure today.
What then can we give to the fathers of the
Nation? We can give them the pride and
confidence in us because we have progressed
in our thinking and are unshakable in our
convictions to win a free World. Just as a
father is always proud of the son who takes
over and improves his business, so is he proud
of the son who takes over and improves his
World.
Ours is a serious task. When we become the
fathers to whom this day is dedicated in the
future, we want to know that in our respon
sibility we have not failed. We can plan for
that now. We can look toward ,a time when
we can say with St. Paul; “I have fought
the good fight; I have finished the course; I
have kept the faith."
What greater honor can we bestow upon
our Fathers?

book reviews ...
Storm, by George Stewart; Random House,
1941.
This is a novel, but as a novel it is unique.
For the central character is a vast and power
ful storm moving from Japan across the Paci
fic to California. The book is at the same time
a textbook in meteorologyy and an exciting
narrative of the birth, life and death of a great
storm.
The author makes the conflict between two
high pressure areas in the atmosphere as real
as a Louis-Cohn fight. Moreover, the book is
based on sound research in the relatively new
field of scientific weather forecasting—a field
of vital interest to every would-be flyer. To
all readers, the book is highly recommended;
for future aviators the book should be re
quired reading.—JCR
