There are so many calls for our attention today that there is little to do but divide it among all the options. The storm in the northeast surely is at the top of the list. Our affection, concern, and support for those who have been separated from a comfortable home and hearth must be our first response.

There is, for that reason, more than enough time left. How much more is the willing public willing

While your home may suffer severe damage, having employed your energies in protecting your family and friends is a far more important and
