A friend only weeks ‘removed from first fatherhood ‘has told us about a dream which is making his nights hide- ous. With his permission, we reprint here the dialogue. Child in his sprout, aged six or so; Father.is our friend, = - ‘ Child: Daddy, ‘how ‘do you tell a . friend) from an. enemy? Father: Well, that's easy. . ‘When I was about your.age, in 1937, I was in kindergarten.- The .

Child: How do they change, Daddy? Who are ‘some ‘of them?’ Father: Well, when I got out of high school, in 1950, the North Koreans were invading South ‘Korea that same’ day, and * the Chinese’ put them up to it. So they’re * bad, the ones who still live in China, that is. Child: ‘Which Chinese? And where’s Korea? ‘Father: They’re all over in Asia, and you shouldn’t worry: about it. Anyway, the Russians ‘stirréd them up. : Child: The Russians are bad, aren't they? Father: » Yes, they are bad. When 1 was a little ‘older than you, they were ° very bad. They were invading Finland.

One thing we have decided in the past ‘few ‘days‘— that farm people will: “soon have to make up their minds. Either they should be content with being “farmers” or ‘they should ‘go full tilt into’ this’ business of modern: nomen‘ clature and. call themselves agribusiness- men. Lately we suspect they would like to be numbered among the professions. The fact is, however, that; ‘“‘farnier” is more. descriptive of. what rural “people really are and want to be, than any: other . term.
