M,Qs - A Day -- AFNlB to Remember yourself, "Do I honestly enjoy taking Mary out, or do I feel annoyed because I have to?" Memorial Day is a somber occasion for Americans. It is a time to awaken memories of friends, relatives, and thousands of young men who have died in the service of the nation. This year, it is also a time to learn to live with the fresh loss of those who have given their lives in the Republic of Vietnam. Memorial Day is all these things and more. John McCrae, in his poem, "In Flanders Fields," wrote, "If ye break faith with us who dieWe shall not sleep, though poppies growIn Flandejrs fields." The first line of the triplet, "If ye break faith with us who die," echoing from the battlefields of World War I, should ring through the thoughts of every man and woman. Those who died, not just in World Wars I and II, but through all our nation's struggles, including the Cold War, have left behind a trust that their sacrifices be given meaning by the continuation and growth of the American nation in a free world. We carry a heavy part of this trust. It is only through keeping faith, through courage and steadfastness, that those who lie in Flanders fields, in Hawaii, at Arlington, Valley Forge and Gettysburg, and those who have died in the sweating jungles of Vietnam, may sleep. .

This is duty love, which lacks not only all the nuances of a good human relationship but even y its very basis. It is little with very positive one-wa- love communication. False love can permeate other relationships, such as those with our children. Ask yourself, "Do I do this for my dressing him or cuthis because he meat ting really can't do it for himself, or because I want to keep him dependent on me?" Perhaps you are deliberately retarding child i your child's growing independence because of your need to be needed. A child can sense this and will resent it. This is selfish love. It reinforces de- pendence and retards maturity. The love relationship between husband and wife must be a cg-A- r- Savings Bonds ' -A Better Buy This year marks the Silver Anniversary of the United States Savings Bonds Program. Throughout the past 25 years, since President Franklin D. Roosevelt bought the first Series E Savings Bond, May 1, 1941, the American people military and civilian have invested their dollars in Savings Bonds to help win two wars, support far flung defense commitments and, now, to help in the fight for freedom in Southeast Asia. The recent announcement by President Johnson, boosting the interest rate of Savings Bonds from 3.75 to 4.15 per cent made them even a better investment on their "Silver Anniversary." Hill is currently conducting the 1966 Savings Bond Campaign with a goal of 100 per cent participation. The extent to which Savings Bonds have succeeded is reflected by the fact that Americans today own more than $49 billion worth of them. Of the individual bonds held at the beginning of this year more than 93 per cent were in the range of $25 to $200 the denominations normally purchased through the Payroll Savings Plan. If you are looking toward your financial future, take a lesson from the past sign up for the savings bond payroll deduction plan or if you already are taking out increase the amount.
