Saddened! was city-bora and never held a job that steal labor or overtime. What difference is there in walking seven miles to school as punishment and getting up lawn every day to do farm chores? I'm sure the farmldas of our country are still doing some of the same things I did while growing up on a farm-I fed the chickens (all 3,000 of them), milked the cows and cut broccoli in the field for market before sunrise. And how about the thousands of Idds who are up before dawn delivering newspapers, then come home for breakfast before going to school? 'Saddened' felt that a 10-hour day was out of line. Many young people today are so involved in sports, they spend at least four hours outside their school day, ettner practicing or participating in one sport or another. This requires more energy than walking 14 miles a day-and it's not for only five days it's lor months ana years. I wonder how 'Saddened* thinks high school and college students who also happen to hold down full-time jobs manage to make it? NELL IN LOUISVILLE, KY. DEAR NELL: If 'Saddened' saw my mail he'd be sadder still. Bead on : a ... % e guilty < I'm 64, and when I was a kid, not only did I walk 12 miles to school and back, I grew up on a farm and had to milk the cows (by hand yet!) before I went to school. And when I got home I had to milk our cows again and do all sorts of chores before supper. (No TV in those days.) America is the only country in the world where a mother will drive their kids to the YMCA so they can get some exercise. JERRY Z. IN WEST BEND, WIS. DEAR JERRY: Here's aaother letter from Idd who walked: * ^K)U l̂t J™ inight want to hear from someone on the side of the parents who made their kids walk to school. I lived a mile from school. My mother drove, but she didn't drte me. She insisted that I walk. My friends' mother drove them and I thought my mother was being mean by making me walk, so I asked her why she didn't drive me to school. She put her arms around me Mdsaid, "If I drive you, how will you learn, and have time to think? Walk and learn, dear " Well. I walked, and learned to love the smell of the rain in the and the feel of it on my face. I learned the feelings of show ctuHOhing under my feet. I did a lot of thinking while Iwalked.
