FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK Proceedings of the XXIst Convention will begin in next Week's issue of the Vestnik. • • Once again plans are in progress for an English play sponsored by the Hlahol Dramatic Club of Lodge No. 88. The 3-act comedy, "She's My Daisy" presentation is scheduled for Sunday, September 10th at Lodge No. 88. Under the able direction of Sister Harriette Allison, the selection of the entire cast has been in rehearsal for some time. The Choral Club and Dramatic Club members have been working diligently. The large amount of correspondence received in the editor's office is proof that the publicity committee is fully aware of what the presentation is all about. It is obvious that every committee at the lodge is playing an important part and carrying out their assignments. Since this is the only existing dramatic club in our Society, we feel that those of you who live within the . surrounding area of Houston should create an enthusiastic inspiration toward the actors' performances by your attendance and support.

Some young people do have ideas about life that their parents doubtless never had. And many question some of the traditional institutions of our society. But in large part, young people indicate that the things they want out of life are still the same as in previous generations — a good job, marriage, a family, financial security. Role of Women — These are among the findings of the latest national survey of young people by the Institute of Life Insurance, The survey, schedul
'ed for publication this fall, is the second in a continuing series designed to determine the attitudes of the 14-to-25 age group, and to ascertain trends in these attitudes. The first survey was conducted in 1970. One significant finding in the latest survey pertains to the role of women in marriage. Most young people are questioning the traditional family model, in which the man works and the woman stay:. home to raise the children. A majority of the females do not see their future exclusively as a housewife. Many expect — and want — to work after marriage. Quite a 'few young men expect their Wives to work too. What do young men look forward to as a way of life they prefer? A third of them want to be an executive or professional with a family. A bachelor life appeals most to one in four. And more than 10 per cent would prefer to live wherever and with whomever they please, with no responsibilities — the hippie style. Another 10 per cent want to devote their lives to working on social problems. Communal living — living in groups, sharing possessions and raising children cooperatively — has developed a surprising amount of support from young people. Some 25 per cent of those surveyed said they either halve tried it or plan
