IS ONE TODAY WORTH TWO TOMORROWS? What would this world have to live for if it wasn’t for tomorrow? The thoughts of all men are on a better tomorrow. Will his business fail? Will lie be able to purchase that “little home” lie has longed for. or continue to quarrel with his father-in-law. Mother, when Johnnie wants to go to the movies: “You can go tomorrow — it is a better movie, besides, 1 want you to o clean the attic.” But ma, I’ll have to do that tomorrow. I’m going on a hike today.” The ambitious student, just home from college, eager to work and have a place in the sun, after returning from a fruitless search for a position, is he discouraged? Is he downcast? Xo. because there is always a tomorrow. Many pessimists live only for the doubtful pleasure of forecasting the downfall of the world — tomorrow. Many think of tomorrow as an alibi for the laziness of to- day. They sit in their easy chairs and think of what they are go- ing to do tomorrow: rake the lawn, clip the hedge, wash the car, and so on. And when tomorrow has come they sav. “Oh, I’m so ‘busy’ now. I'll do it tomorrow.” Perhaps some can thuik up better excuses than Judge Puffle in “Room and Board.” In politics tomorrow” plays an important part. A presi- dential candidate promises to balance the budget if he is elected. He is elected and the budget will be balanced — tomorrow. Mussolini will withdraw troops from Spain — tomorrow. Today they are needed. You cannot escape from tomorrow, it is the hope of all. Is one today worth two tomorrows? —John Perry Hooker ’41
