as co-missionary for Indian
work.
Mr. Prest writes of the many
donations towards his work, of
the interest of his parishioners,
who travelled 12 miles in an
open sleigh in 40 degrees below
zero to attend service, all of
which compensated for personal
hardship of bad roads and ex-

Despite the changes in society
in the past 20 years, swift, vast,
relentless, frightening, there is
one social unit that has proved
impervious and oblivious to the
march of "progress."
While it may have changed its
terms of reference slightly,
otherwise it has altered almost
not at all since man first crawl-
ed out of the ooze. I am talking
about the family.
I became aware of this during
a panel discussion by my high
school students. The topic was
"Early Marriages." (You'll be
glad to know they are 100 per-
cent against them!)
One panelist referred to the
glossy, saccharine, phoney ver-
sion of marriage presented on
TV and movie screens, She said
it gave teenagers a false idea of
marriage. A boy promptly
snorted, "Nobody's taken in by
those, We all come from homes
with married people in them.
Marriage isn't like that at all,"
Everyone agreed.
And how right they were.
Those cute, comfortable and
contrived families we see on the
screen are about as much like
the real thing as a ketchup-
splattered Hollywood war is like
a real war, with real blood, real
bodies, real terror.
Oh, I know. There are broken
homes and teenage delinquents
and all that jazz. But don't you
think there were any such in
Rome 2,000 years ago, or Ath-
ens 3,000 years ago? It's just
that they get a better play in
the papers these days. Family
life always has been, and still
is, a fascinating combination of
fun and frustration, comfort and
chaos.
Sixty-eight thousand years
ago, this week, some crazy,
hairy woman waded through the
guck and bones to the back of
the cave, took a look around,
went back to the fire, kicked her
happy, recumbent, husband and
burbled, ',Come on, Buster,
we're going to clean this place
up."
And the day before yesterday,
my wife took me by the hand, led
me down cellar, and burbled,
"Come on, Buster, we're going

Like almost everyone else, you use your
local chartered bank as a safe and handy
place to build the savings reserve that is so
important to your financial future. In doing
so, you do more than build a solid founda-

valuable banking relationship and helping
to establish your credit. And as you get to
knout the manager and staff — as you use
other banking services to meet personal or

become even more useful to you. And it all
