Some people can answer all in the affirmative. Many could not answer one without stopping to take stock of themselves to see whether they really have a purpose.

From an emergency budget it became a permanent dividing line. Defined poverty is better achieved by using the Labor -Department's budget for a Slower living standard." That's a no-frills estimate of what it takes to keep a family going at absolutely minimal living standards. And that budget turns out to be about 40 percent higher than the so-called poverty line.

Dr. Russell Oakes works at Memorial General Hospital and commutes from his upper middle-class residence to teach a class at the university in Lawrence. We're not told whether black maintenance workers at the hospital were allowed into the fallout shelter at the terror-filled moment the bombs began to fall. The only major black character in the drama is Airman First Class Billy McCoy, who portrays a kind of bewildered AfroAmerican version of "King Lear," wandering aimlessly in the radioactive fallout, searching for a wife and home which were vaporized days before. As films for commercial television go, "The Day After" was above average. But in the clutch, it failed to describe the real levels of destruction and human agony which a general thermonuclear conflict would create.

It is right and proper that we should from time to time, measure the results of our efforts toward a purpose. Most people seem to be content to spend their lives carrying out the purposes of others. They work only for the pay. They care more for pay than for the purpose. Give them the pay and you can have the purpose. In this wrong attitude, milions of people live unhappy and frustrated lives. Why not have a purpose of your own? You can still serve another's purpose - even better. It is what we do and how well it is done that has enduring consequences. Working our own purpose, taking a step at a time and working each plan successfully will help to reach a goal and accomplish an aim toward purpose or purposes in mind.
