Recently, the Lion Oil Company of EI Dorado, Arkansas, sponsored a contest among the school children of that area for the best interpretation of the subiect, WHAT FREEDOM MEANS TO ME. The following won first prize. It is reprinted here with the knowledge that you, too, will appreciate the simple sincerity with which it was written. 701:41 44:04am ,Veena 7a Me by BOBBIE LOUISE SMITH I am an average fifteen-year-old girl, the eldest of five children in a typical American family. My father is a linesman whose income provides comforts, but few luxuries. Even so, my opportuni- ties are boundless, my heritage complete for into Freedom I was born, and through Freedom I shall live. In order that I may further express this feeling, let us imagine we are elevated high above the town in which I live. From this vantage point we can see how Freedom works in, around and through us. It is early morning. The sun is just tinting the horizon. Morning stars fade. Around us are cautious birdnotes while, in the distance, a dog barks. We hear the clinking of milk bottles as a classmate works his way from door to door, close behind comes the thud of the morning paper tossed on the front porches by another whistling classmate - both of whom could become President of our country. Opening the paper, we find drama, finance, politics, war news, comedy, tragedy. We read it all. More lights go on. Birdnotes soar. Dew-drops sparkle. The wonderful aroma of bacon, coffee and toast reaches us. Each family sits down to breakfastg heads bow hastily, but revently. Another day begins. Mother hustles dad off to work, and other men go to theirs - each according to his talents and capa- bilities. Private Enterprise we call it. Dad says we must always keep it so. Children go to school where warm buildings, hot lunches, free books, and Christian teachers make them feel important -wanted! English, mathematics, history, science, speech, band, choir, and athletics provide a day's schedule. At the close of school, busses await pupils living at a distanceg others go their carefree way. The sun sinks lower and the homeward trek begins for young and old. Church chimes float on the evening air, reminding each that no day is complete without lifting one's thoughts to the Maker and Giver of all. Here is Religious liberty. Flowers perfume the early darkness. Supper's had, dishes done, sleepy tots kissed goodnight. Dad reads - Mother sews -- or neighbors drop in. We kids study or listen to the radio. The news comes on, some good --some bad, but I know that things will come out right. I've been taught that Freedom, Iustice, and Righteousness shall prevail. Why shouldn't all others have the deep security I feel, and dream the lovely, exciting dreams of each new tomorrow? Why should others have to live in fear and doubt when I have faith and con- fidence? They lack the Freedom that is the BREATH of my spiirt, the SCOPE of my being- and the WINGS of my soul. Oh, that they, too, could say in their last waking moments: My Country 'tis of thee Sweet Land of Libertyv Please, God, let this wonderful Liberty come to every country - Not - just - to - mine. And Thine be the glory, forever! FL'i5T.EE'?E'ifiE?!iX'NFE? if OF HOLLYWOOD wir Phone HOllywood 3-4141 C. TOBERMAN, President HOLLYWOOD 28, CALIFORNIA 6763 HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD 1 138
