Many fathers were known as stern law- givers of course, upholding. the customs that seemed good in the family and com- But it was left to the Mother to shed the love-light abroad in the home. To-day we know both Mother and Father must dedicate themselves with increasing vigilance and ardor to the task of saving tamily life as a moral and spiritual force in the world.

OBSCENE LITERATURE There is a great stir in various parts of the colintry about the amount and the type of obscene literature readily available to the public. Although we have not encount- cred any of this pornographic material, we have heard first hand accounts of it. Now these first hand accounts are most un- satisfactory, consisting as they do of such vague generalizations, such as... "Oh, they're awful" . . "I dido't know there was such stuff" ., they can print it" . see this doesn't give us very much to go on, Lor "1 don't know how As you will readily However, we have no urge to investigate this particular form of uncleanliness.. It is our belief that the mind needs to be kept clean as the physical body does. more, we believe that if you have grown up to appreciate cleanliness this sort of thing can, have no appeal. literature is printed in abundance seems to mdicate that there is a good market for it . obviously, those who publish it are not doing it for the sake of At. would seem to indicate that there is some- fundamentally people who indulge this sort of thing.
