Hope for Commute ... ? ... page 8
Part of the price of living in the peaceful suburbs
is the not.so-peaceful task of getting to work and
home again. For this month's Round Table we asked

Dr. Paul .Dudley White, who runs a one-man campaign
to get the nation on two wh~els, tells why he

The next time your wife groans when you mention a
fishing trip-----here's a shock device that will get her
packing to go in minutes. Promise her a cruise to
New Zealand, stopping in on Ha Haii, Tahiti, and

a blow-by-subtle-blow guide to victory.

talk with his suddenly
very adult offspring. (It was
lots easier to get the multiplication
table across, Dad
thinks.) And how dOC!JJunior
feel about this nature

T YRICISTS TAKE NOTE! Earle J. Grant of Dora-
L ville, Georgia, has seen a genuine "moonbow."
"It's a rainbowlike arc formed in the mist of
Cumberland Falls near Corwin, Kentucky," he

alone, and now the kids in Richfield, who will be
directed by the recreation department, are eager
to get started. The Boy Scouts and the American
Youth Hostel members are among those volunteering
time and strength. As an added incentive
(although these boys and girls don't seem to need
