SMALL DOSES - Past & Present:
The Stability of the Home
By ROMAINE SAUNDERS, Special Correspondent
The golden wedding ol Mr.
and Mrs. H. W. Tomlinson is an
nounced for next Sunday. 1 do
not recall the 1896 event uniting
this estimable couple for the suf
ficient reason that at about that
time I had launched out and was
budding into journalism in a
good little Nebraska town that
thrived because of the wealth of
corn and hogs brought to mar
ket.
Mr. Tomlinson and I were con
temporary — not contemptible
kids in neighboring Wisconsin
communities. Only because 1
know Hank can take it, congrat
ulations are offered Mrs. T. for
putting up with him for 50
years.
Oddly enough, the first record
ed words spoken by the human
voice introduced the home: “This
now is bone of my bones and
flesh of my flesh, she shall be
called woman . . . therefore,
shall a man leave his father and
mother and shall cleave unto his
wife.”
The strains of the wedding
march echoing across a half
century assures the stability of
the home.

Probably the most formidable
barrier confronting the spokes
men of United Nations, recog
nized or not, is not political but
religious. Huddhists and Hrah
mans, Shintos and mystics, Mo
hammedans and Hebrews, Chris
tians split into a thousand frag
ments, creed-bound, and tradi
tion strangled.
In this mad age another at
tempt is made to brew the na
tionalities, the philosophies, the
religions, the accumulated in
gredients of civilization in the
cauldron of world empire.
Ostensibly, each part is to
function as a separate nation.
Hut there is to be a hand on the
throttle—a watchful eye over
the whole. Imperial Home did no
more.
As has been asked a thousand
times of mechanical contri
vances: Will it work?
