Now we are in a period where great adjustments are required of us individually and cullectively,a period where wide X opportunities present themselves for nearly every- yk thing that is good -- or bad. It behooves us to F select the proper course and string along with Xxxx tired dove of peace, mend its olive branch time and again, help preen its ruffled feathersgiean ' out its cote regularly, and nourish and comfort -122. 1 the weary creature during its most critical '-- Qak post-war existence. ,yM,l riff X 41 ' jig?
