For A Better World
By FATHER CRANOR F. GRAVES
Our young people will have
themelves a summer. Can we help
them have a happy one?
Can we offer some attitudinal
guidelines? Let’s start with some
thing central. Since Our Lord dis
tinguished a Christian by his con
cern for somebody else (John
13:35), that’s a good place to start.
Therefore, the recipe for a hap
py summer is not: “What will I
enjoy the most?” “What will I get
out of it?” “What’s in it for me?”
Thats just selfishness, which nev
er leads to happiness for any
body.
Rather, let’s ask: “What can I
do this summer to make some
body else happy?”

— like reading for 15 minuto
a day to the elderly man »hl
cannot see to read;
— like making it possible {
mother and dad to go out for i
evening each week, all by th.
selves, to renew their acquai,
ance with each other, knowiu
that trustworthy youngsters arei
home looking after everything i
everybody;
— like giving mother a
morning one day a week, by tat
ing care of the dishes, the cle«
ing and the younger children f*
about five hours; ,
— like cutting the grass, free]
of charge, for a couple who
grandchildren live in anotl
town;
— like picking out a family j
the community, a family with sc
eral small children (this could I
a team project for two or th
young ladies) and keeping the
children for one day. The you
mother will bless you and reti
to her duties refreshed;
— like making this summer 1
“leaf n-a-n e w-dish-a-week s u m
mer”; really bone up on that coofc
book, young lady, and give the
family a treat. Your future hin
band will also bless this expert,
ence of the summer of 1965;
— and all these things, without
pay.
For combining a little generoo
ity with pleasure, how about of
fering to go with neighbors or rel
atives to the beach, really to look
after their children, honest-t*
goodness?
And we remember the poor; iftl
a long time between the Christ^
mas basket and the Thanksgiving
basket, about eleven months, to be i
exact. How about an interest in
the poor during the summer?
How about offering to take;
youngsters to the library, to intro-,
luce them to that wonderful world
of reading?
Come to think of it, this pro-;
gram tor young people wouldn’t
be a bad idea tor the whole neigh
borhood, tor a spirit, would it? j
