They came Dow pretty soon and there was t anybody left sitting in the in a sense Hershey is a Bridge Between the new born America he never saw a Youthful America he grew up in and the America of today. His grandmother wearing the Blackbonnet and Black clothes in the custom of mennonites told him of seeing la Fayette when she was a child. He re members starting the morning fire Withorn cobs soaked in kerosene Oil and being taught that work was Good for you and that the wealthy Man who did t work because he did t have Towas Little better than the bum who would t work at went to a one room schoolhouse heated by stove and ventilated by age where for better or for worse i knew my teachers and he taught in a one room schoolhouse and was a part time Deputy when his father was sheriff because the Job was just a Little More than one Man could do and quite a lot less than two could his present world the general works with the red Cross and the boy scouts is frightened by the Prospect of having nothing to do someday and does t like to think of who will replace him. And he firmly believes that an organization or a nation can t work with out common purpose which Means alot of people will have to Swallow hard and m probably shortsighted enough to think that in my lights i m right. Have Felt that to the Best of my knowl Edge and ability i was doing what thought was g9od for my country and that was selfishness because i have some children and some grandchildren. They re going to have to live in this country and if there in t a country i Don t know where they will i happen to believe from what 1 know of our history and what i relived i just Don t know any country i like better than this one.

I these compulsive workers take care of themselves they can Goon and on and on. Dear Ann Landers this might sound like a stupid re quest or perhaps i am asking for an oversimplification of the toughest question of All How to tackle the everyday prob lems that arise from the very business of living. Can you put together a few helpful hints sort of an Ann Landers do it yourself kit groping dear groping your requests not stupid in fact i wonder Why no one else has Ever people Are beset by fears and anxieties they can t the first step is to isolate your major problem separate it from the other problems and write it Down on a piece of paper. Figure out what caused the problem. By this 1 Don t mean find a Scapegoat. Placing the blame is of Little value. Ask yourself what part you played and be willing to accept the responsibility. List the possible courses faction that might remedy the situation then go to work on the most logical and practical solution. If it proves ineffective try the second approach then the third. The person who makes an Effort to Analyse and resolve his problems will discover that his Feekings of futility and frustration will gradually fade will experience probably for the first time a sense of balance and Confidence. Re member the longest walk inthe world begins with a single step.
