J. NEWBERRY CO Century Is at Mid-Poinl-Still No Peace of Mind By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK The 20lh century reaches the halfway mark Jan. halfway to where? This is one the oracles haven't figured out. Has it taken mankind halfway to the all-but-perfect life, or halfway on the road back to the silence of the jungle? At 50 the 20th century has a few circles under its eyes and undoubtedly it is hoping, as we all do, that the first 50 years are the hardest. They have been years of tremendous progress in many ways, and an equal number of years of promise lie ahead.

No century ever dawned in the brighter hope. Across the land there were many "century balls" held the last night of 1899. It was a great century that died that night, for the 19th century saw the spread of the scientific spirit and popular education, It was the century that struck off the fetters from the mind of man, and in many ways the 20th century is only carrying on its reforms. Among them arc equal political status for women, shortening of the work week and increase of leisure, and a rising standard of living. At the midmark our present century is still unlocking the atom's secret, a power source for good or evil more epoch-making than the gasoline engine.

Medical science has whipped a dozen age old diseases in the last 50 years', but the biggest and heart more than ever. Man may be healthier, but he still hasn't found ease of mind. This is true despite the fact that money and life seem safer than they did in 1899, and men and women have more certainty of looking forward to an.old age free of financial worry. Perhaps the reason for this is that, despite its material progress, the 20th century has done so little to end the spiritual unrest that arises from man's timeless war against himself. It has seen the world divided in the two most disastrous conflicts in history, and it sees the world still divided in its second 'international groping for enduring peace.

The United Nations is still only an uneasy fulcrum on which the globe teeter-t otters between old hope and new fear. Henry Wallace gave our century its brightest name when he called it "the century of the common man." And in a big measure it has already lived up to that name, fn no previous 50 ygars have men helped each other killed each othef more efficiently. But it can hardly be a real century of the common man unless it creates for him a world in which he can build a home for his wife and kids safe from the confused animosity of another common man in another country. Personally, I feel that still may be the greatest gift of the 20th women may say farewell PHIL HORR this question: Last Christmas our tree caught fire and burned out all of our living: room.
