The present is always something real and
solid. Perhaps, for that reasoi the present
is easier to understand than a tomorrow that
has never • ' • n happened.
That may be the reason why so many
people live just for today It might also ac
count for the fact that most people are so
busy with touu\ that they iorget all about
tomorrow.
Nevertheless tomorrows do come. And
history, which is after all just a record of
tomorrows that have become yesterdays, is
proof of the importance of living for tomor
row.
In a way this difference between people
who live just ti> tudav and those who plan
for the future r. flit' difference between tol
ly and wisdom.
ll seems that all lift is forever making
way for tomorrow The seedling becomes
a lowering tree. The child grows into man
hood or womanhood. The present genera
tion is always making way for a new one
that nilii i is t.lu kind of world iw leave to
them.
Wise parents know this. The \ lav their
plans carefully, si . pin; a: lx si they can the
kind of world the\ want then children to
livi m after they themselves are gone.
The question arises: “What can parents
do to create this better world'.’"
They can do much. They can insure edu
cation for tiieh children, teach them wisely,
guard them against unnecessary insecurity.

farmland, the future of tomorrow':, grown
ups is tied to the soil. And this dec,tiny can
he good nr bad according to the way the
present generation guards its forest re
sources and preserves the earth's fertility.
Fat seeing, people today will till ever;.' last
ounce' ot product from the soil- but they
will till wisely, keeping an eye on tomorrow.
These same people will cut all of the top
quality pulpwood the pulp and paper mills
in this area so urgently need today but
they too will harvest wisely, replacing each
tree cut with a seedling for tomorrow.
Tiro Tombs
Quietly *-it called for only a single, short
paragraph to b( lost, in the columns of the
newspapers- the House of Representatives
has passed a bill to provide for the burial
beside the Unknown Soldier of an unknown
serviceman of World War II.
Two tombs. They will stand in marble
silence there on the hill in Arlington that
overlooks a Washington become world capi
tal. the hill that broods on the sweep of
monument and building, of green lawns and
the gray “temporaries” that the urgency of
war called up to scar the green. Anti before
them, in constant vigil, a sentry w ill step off
his restricted round in token that :: in
token (it comes uneasily to the memory)
that a grateful Nation has not forgotten
those who lit unnamed yn a thousand scat
tered hat t If fit ‘Ids.
Two tombs. They will shelter men who
died for what? Why, to defend a home,
to release' the poor and the downtrodden
from oppression, to bulwark the ideals and
the idealism that are America's glory to
make an end to war. Or has a Nation busy
with normalcy, with profits, with self-seek
ing and with fear already forgotten even
that?
Two tombs. Two quiet, simple tombs.
Mark them well: There i: not room in all
