The Happiest People
Continued from page 9 which has lately appeared "exposing" the suburban dream. No one will argue with the observation-made at firsthand-that "all is not sweetness and light around the barbecue pit." But I would remind the critics that suburban life was a going concern for 40,000,000 of us before the great explosion of the '50s, the biggest migration in the shortest time in our history, when ten million people moved outside our cities. As in any migration, there have been in this one, too, the mistakes and maladjustments and heartaches that have provided the public with so much reading of late, all of it provocative, and some of it valuable. MY ONLY CLAIM, on the basis of our nationwide investigation, is that the conditions of life as we know them in suburbia today are as favorable as one can find in the whole of America in this universal pursuit of happiness. I should like to bring up two last points for the sake of their bearing on the suburban environment. In a separate investigation which we made on happiness as it has been experienced by those of 95 years of age and over, we found that exercise, done with regularity and not overdone, is habitual with many who live long, useful lives. There is no need to dwell, surely, on this advantage of the suburban environment, the opportunities for exercise which present themselves, unfailing and abundant, in all seasons, and over all weekends, whether with lawn mower, broom, or putter. There is also an interesting correlation between unhappiness and radicalism. When we extended our investigation to France it was discovered that most of the persons who were communists fell into the "unhappy" categories set up by the test. Left-wing organizations have always had their greatest strength where the conditions for attaining happiness are least favorable. In suburbia there are few radicals, few communists, few left-wing organizations-which is another way of saying that the vast majority finds life good in these communities.

COULD YOUR CHILD USE AN EXTRA $100,000?
He can have it ... if he graduates from a good college. For that's the difference a college education can make in his lifetime earning power. There's only one hitch. College applications are expected to double within the next ten years. By the time your child is ready for college, there may not be enough room for him. That is, unless you support the college of your choice today! To know more about what the college crisis means, write for "The Closing College Door," Box 36, Times Square Station, New York 36, N.Y.
