NUCLEAR WAR? World affairs did not go unnoticed by staff members at Jurupa. Staff person- nel were asked: How do you feel about the threat of a nuclear war? and What do you think can be done to prevent one? I feel very concerned. I plan to pray more sincerely! Ms. Dubose We can begin to avoid war by continuing to value each other. Ms. Walker We need to drastically reduce numbers of warheads . . . both sides. — Mr. Shearer I hope that the leaders of our world are smart enough to think twice about any type of nuclear war. — Ms. Gummow Nuclear war frightens me. The totality of such an event means the end of civil- ization as we know it. It may mean the 1. Mrs. Sharon Larson working hard at her desk making a typical school day run smoothly. end of everything we have gained in the past million years. I ' d hate for man to have to start over. Unfortunately, man being as he is, the only thing we can do is stay as powerful as our enemies so that they will not attack us. If we can reduce everyone ' s stocks of nuclear weapons, we will gain much. We cannot expect our enemies to reduce their armament on their own and we cannot afford to be weaker than anyone ... Mr. Brusso I am very concerned about it, although I have to admit that I haven ' t taken an active role in expressing my feelings such as writing to my congressman, par- ticipating in marches, etc, ... I do be- lieve that all nations should reduce their nuclear warheads and that the solution is through negotiations with other nations and not by building more and more . . . trying to be the so called number one nation in defense. — Mr. Cassette Considering that there could be such a war scares me a lot . . . especially since I ' d like my child to live long, good life. I feel we all need to write to those in public office and let them know our feelings. They ' re the only ones who can reduce and eliminate the missiles. — Ms. C. Jones. It could happen, but I know God is in control, and therefore I don ' t worry about it. We can only try to get along with each other. — Mr. Sanford If everyone in the world would use his or her energy to promote peace, rather than hate, the problem would be solved. 2.
