"Now that my children arc older, I can do more of that sort of thing," she said. "However, I still believe a wo man's first responsibility is in the home ... if we're to build lead ers. No nation is stronger than its homes. I've always encouraged my husband to be the front man. I listen to all his speeches. Also, I've tried to teach my children to be at ease in public. My son Reed is an excellent speaker." Reed was on a Mormon mission in England and worked with the Republican National Committee during 1954 before going to work for the party's Congressional Com mittee. During the war he was an Air Force chaplain. Son Mark, in Seattle, Wash., married and the father of two, lectured on a Mor mon miMion in Eastern states.
