Sdiloilat PEACE AND FREEDOM BEGIN AT HOME Everywhere in the world people complain about the lack of peace and order, or at least, the deterioration or watering down of moral values, thus giving impetus to abuses in local and national governments. We now see the need for retrain! in conduct and wish for passionate involvement in reforming the ways in which governments are run. Let us try seeing the fact that as the home goes, so goes the govern* meni. In homes where parents allow unbriddled freedom of children to do what they please without the needed guidance, such homes are the breeding places of anarchy. Such homes become, imperceptively, the purveyors of rebellion without causes on the part of the children. There is no such thing as instant goodness or instant good manners and right conduct. They have to be taught and practiced incessantly in the home through the growing years of the children. Where children are neglected because the parents are too busy making money to keep up with the Joneses, such a home is contributing to lawlessness in the community in which it is situated. As the community is, so is the country.
