Long ago a lot of people thought the moon was a god. Other people thought it was just a light in the sky. And others thought it was a big ball of cheese!
Then telescopes were made. And men saw that the moon was another world. They wondered what it was like. They dreamed of going there.
On July 20, 1969, that dream came true. Two American men landed on the moon. Their names were Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin.
The first thing the men found was that the moon is covered with dust. The dust is so thick that the men left footprints where they walked. Those were the first marks a living had ever made on the moon. And they could stay there for years and years. There is no wind or rain to wipe them off.
The two men walked on the moon for hours. They picked up rocks to bring back to earth for study. They dug up dirt to bring back. They set up machines to find out things people wanted to know. Then they climbed back into their moon landing craft.
On the next day, the landing craft roared as the two men took off from the moon. They joined Michael Collins in the spaceship that waited for them above the moon. Then they were off on their long trip back to earth.
Behind them, they left the plains and tall mountains of the moon. They left the machines they had set up. And they left footprints that may last forever.

Statesmen define a family as “a group of individuals having a common dwelling and related by blood, adoption or marriage, includes common-law relationships”. Most people are born into one of these groups and will live their lives as a family in such a group.
Although the definition of a family may not change, the relationship of people to each other within the family group changes as society changes. More and more wives are paying jobs, and, as a result, the roles of husband, wife, and children are changing. Today, men expect to work for pay for about 40 years of their lives, and, in today’s marriages in which both spouses have paying jobs, women can expect to work for about 30 to 35 years of their lives. This means that man must learn to do their share of family tasks such as caring for the children and daily chores. Children, too, especially adolescents, have to with the members od their family in sharing household tasks.
The widespread acceptance of contraception has meant that having is a matter of choice, not an automatic result of marriage. Marriage itself has become a choice. As alternatives such as common-law relationships and single-parent families have become socially acceptable, women will become more independent.
