WHAT CAN VT5 DO TO SAVE OUR FREEDOJ:? Today the world in general is in a very tight spot Not only do wc have to be constantly on the alert for war, but Communism and Totalitarianism is spreading it's way throughout the world. Communism is playing a great part in the fighting of the war in Korea. The Corramiscs don't believe in teaching people democracy like we have in our nation, nor telling their poor people the truth about us. They tell them lies so the people will grow to hate our nation. Is our Democracy stronger than Communism? Or will Russia be taking over our country in the next few years? Yes, I will say thd, Democracy is very much stronger than Communism because wo are stronger minded than those foreign people, YTe see and hear more about world affairs. Communists are in the United States, but when they are found they are punished to the fullest extent. Is this fight in Korea going to end soon, or is it going to lest for a long time? It isn’t fair for this fighting to continue If rfe are going to fight, why can’t more troops be sent there and clean this up? No, we can't do that because the rich man is getting richer now. He doesn't care about how many boys are lost fighting; the majority of them have no sons to lose. The poor people are the ones to take it. If we could teach Democracy all over the world and demolish Communism, I’d say that wc could save our freedom; but right now I'm afraid of a depression or a hard-fought war where we are going to lose a lot more of our boys. r,e can all hope and pray that we never do have another war because they take too many of our loved ones away never to return them to us. Robert llason 5 2 'THAT CAN T3 DO TO SAVE OUR FREEDO!.:? Freedom is a wonderful thing. Not all countries are fortunate enough to have freedom, America is one country which enjoys free- dom, but Americans do not realize just hov; fortunate they are. Freedom has always been taken for granted, and probably always will be until we lose it, V’c must always be on guard, and ready to defend it. Remember Patrick Henry’s famous ’words, Give me Liberty or Give He Death, To most of us, if we did not have freodon, it would be the same as death. One thing you must do is vote, and vote for the honest and most efficient men running. You may not make up your mind until you get in the booth reading the names of the candidates. You may be the type of person who reads a newspaper article and makes up his mind right then. You should look up the facts about each of the candidates, and then vote for the best man running.

'. hat Can ,‘e Do to Save Our Freedom? - 2 - Vfc must have more crime invests ration comr.ittccs in our goverr»- ment. In that v;ay, we could dispone of dishonest leaders. Now, of course, only a limited nur.’bor' of immigrants may enter the United States. I think those who do.enter, should be watched care- fully, especially those who act suspiciously. All the democratic countries should unite and fight our communist enemies. Ever since history began, the United States lias had enemies trying to take away our freedom As long as there arc selfish leaders in this world, ranting to rule everything, we will always have a constant battle for freedom. Every citizen should be willing to contribute to worthy funds set up by the federal government to maintain our freedom. Every citizen should be willing to offer his services when nodded in the government s activities. Every citizen should take a general interest in his government. Our country would never have grown from thirteen colonies to our forty-eight states if we hadn’t had men who wanted freedom and gave their lives for it. Ho matter what you arc — a student, a farmer, or a factory worker — the least you can do is be a good citizen and offer your pervicos to save your freedom. Another tiling to .avoid is strikes, '..bile our men were on the recent steel strike, we lost many products a day. Now, if a country is going to attack another, it ’rill pick the time when our country is weak, so it can win easily. Our nation should have a great number of civil defense workers in each state, so that any and every person would know what to do in ease of an attack. T.rc should have an alert Amy, Navy, and Airforce. At any cost, we must be prepared to strike back, anytime, at any place. Sandra Martin 5 5
