7000602 The kid we used to yell for last football season is eighteen . . . remember him? Easy going, carefree, al- ways whistling off key. Of course you remember him. He used to bluff his way through English, laugh at a tough math problem, drive a rattle trap car through town with his noisy gang hanging all over it. Now, he remembers those football games, those chocolate sodas, home and Mom and Dad . . . the huge yellow brick high school building. Now it's mud, hunger, filth, wrecked bodies, the screams of the dying. He's always on the alert. To be carefree is to invite a bullet or a bayonet. And for what cause, what future? That boys and girls all over the world may live as carefree as he once did . . . safe, secure, free from the fear of future devastating war.

of 5 ' K Should Eighteen Year-olds Be Drafted? True it was just a routine high school debate. But the J aps were butchering Chinese over an incident. Nazi hordes had erased Poland, swept over France, had subjugated the Low Countries. A tall dark haired lad took the floor. Serious faced boys and girls fiercely argued the question. They looked into the past, they prophesied the future. They raved about Eng- land's imperialism, Germany's ruthless ambitions, America's lethargic foreign policy. It was the right of the American boy and girl to reason, to think, to express himself. But reality, necessity swept over America. Eighteen year olds were drafted. High school debators prepared to fight for Freedom of Speech. They're not boys any longer . . . these kids who used to invade the corner drug store after school. They're men in uniform now. These youngsters who not so long ago shouted in debate to their classmates, Youth must share the responsibility! are in fox holes, a hospital, a distant sky. They are fighting for Freedom of Speech.
