my wife ‘announced.

“Yes, I want to be.a ‘fish, too,’ small Michael chimed in. .
“Well, I Suppose -you -are still: young enough to reform,”

I told my wife, |

“You’re the one who, is. going. to-.reform,” she said. “I'm
not going to pick: up your clothes any more, I’m going to
find a way: to.make. you do it yourself.”

Next day, the plan’ went into action...My- brown shoes, one
of only two serviceablé pairs that. I have, were sprawled com-
fortably on the sitting-room floor as. though: they had-~ set

“Shoes belong. in. the. cupboard. The, dog chews shoes.:
Leaving them here is. the way: to have them destroyed.”

My wife, was right: The dog had. already: rendered: my only
black pair unserviceable—except for. gayden use. I.quietly put:

the brown shoes in. the: cupboard:
‘Then I. saw a large sign clipped

on an. envelope: full of

notes, which I had:brought. home: and: parked temporarily on.

“This is the way that:notes are.lost. Please put papers in

My -blue raincoat .was. draped limply over the ‘back of a

’ chair, as though: it had suddenly grown faint and collapsed:

A sign was: pinned: to. the: back of it, saying: “Coats are to

be hung up.”

.I hung the coat: up. So. far, this none-too-subtle attack ‘on
sloth and -untidiness has worked extremely well.
Soon, I suppose, I will have to try: the same methods on my

wife, whose reluctance to sew -on. buttons and

And :when she uses my car, she

will find this note on the.

| Soft soldiers |

A research study by the U.S.
army is said to blame the
home for the weakness of Am-
erican slodiers when captured
during the Korean campaign.

They scem to have lacked “the.

old. Yankee resourcefulness,”
the report said, and: submitted
too easily to “give-up-itis.”
This was particularly the case
with younger soldiers and lax.
parents and easy civilian liv-.
ing are.cited as possible causes.

This is perhaps too conven-
jent a way. out. The home. is
apt to be. blamed for every de-
merit attached to young peo-
ple, the factors of outside en-
vironment ‘and the manners of
existing society being  over-

looked. Undoubtedly the ex-_

ample of parents means much
and it is In the home that
fundamental virtues are -Jm-

uals also are conditioned by
