Times, which gives away its newspapers every day the sun fails to shine. Youth and fear—Maybe it is true what they say about the carefree days of youth. Last November the Des Moines Register polled six peo ple on the question, “What do you fear the most?” Three housewives expressed their respective fears of poverty, another war, and black cats. A student feared “what people think about me and my work, those unknown things, thought and said by others”; and a railroad brake man feared a terrible wreck.
