In answer to the question, “How can I keep up with ! what is going on?” a practical answer comes from the first I lady of th land, Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt. if a busy woman will get in the habit of reading first the headlines and then at least the first paragraph of sub- j jects in which she is interetsed she can keep track of what is going on. She should not merely read the report which coincides with her own point of view but the opposing point of view and then draw her own conclusions. Every one puts his own prejudices and own ideas into his inter pretation of what a public event means, but he should at least see both sides. It is grand to read but all that is read should not be accepted without some thought. This is Mrs. M Roosevelt’s idea of “keeping up” and it is sensible. The first lady believes that women have good reason to watch happenings in national and international affairs. She believes that these affaire of government ef fect every home and for that reason they should interest the mothers as well as the men of the land. Together, they I make up the citizenry. One vote counts as much as anoth- I er. If every vote was an intelligent vote, we would have few ills in government. e Reading is our pathway to more intelligent citizenship. | X-RAY EXAMINATIONS City Transfer Anna B. Pritchett, D. O.
