YOUTH- In youth lies the future of countries, nations, the world. What does this future hold? We must not wait and see, but provide for it. The opportunities for Youth, in this our democracy, are abundant, and can be had for the askinq in every state of the Union. In two centuries our nation took, thrice, the best of its youth and sacrificed it to maintain a democracy. They preserved for us freedom of speech, religion, and press. They preserved for us the right to seek and hold office. They preserved for us a country in which ideas may be born and fulfilled. Today we hear of wars and rumors of wars. What opportunities have the oppressed to repel their tormentors? None. What can the youth of these countries look forward to, to expel the evil surrounding them, or stand for what they think is right? Nothinq. Despair replaces hope, and blind followership replaces faith. These youth are told what to think, what to say, what to do. Death or prison are the only alternatives. The fate of the World lies in youth. It is, then for the youth of democracies to fulfill the hopes of these countries-to make all the world a place in which to cultivate ideas-the kind that come from minds which aspire to learn, and in learning, leadl -Ruth Werkman
