PBOBLKIS OF THE YOUTH OF TOMORROW , The world wide chaotic conditions of industry, politics and re- ligion lakes the problems of the 'Youth of Tomorrow' very serious ones. As a matter of fact, they are the all important ones and while leadlng students of science, politics, religion and lndustry are doing everything possible to bring about a balance in these matters, the ul- tlnate solution, the entire burden, and the responsibility of planning a workable program rests on the shoulders of youth. Al we glance back through the pages of history, we find that in every era of clvlllsatlen, youth was always confronted with probleae left by preceding generations. I am confident, that if we approach our problems of tomorrow with the splrlt possessed by the youth of other generations' we will accomplish a greet deal nore than merely hurdling headlong into them in a hit or mise fashion. ln every age and ln every emergency of local, national or world wide import sole leader has risen above his fellowmen, and I feel sure our age will prove no exception. lhlle we may not reach a Utopia, we can and till reach a closer understanding and more lntl- mete fellowship with God and man- Juet what are some of those major problems or so-called emer- gencies confronting the youth? A better understanding between capi- tal and laborg old age seourltyg racial prejudice, and religion are just a few of the lore laportant ones. The last names seems by far the most important, as we must seek a truer fellowship between God and man if we wish to settle our diff- erencee rlghteously and peacefully. Ie must strive to develop a re- ligion not for Sunday alone, but a practical every day religion. Rather than measure everything by the yardstlck of malth and position let us measure by the Golden Rule of human relations and human equality lhlle speaking about human equality we find ourselves confronted with e problem as old as time, that of capital and labor, Rlght here the capitalist mst come to realise that all humane, which ln- clude the people that work for him, as well as himself, were created equal and are to be treated as equals, rather than being used as slaves or so-called guinea plgs to further the employers selfish ends. Rather than trying to settle our innumerable differences by the 'eurvlval of the flttest' method let us try to settle them over a common council table. The rift today between the employer and employee, ln many ln- etances, seens to be widening to such a degree that reconciliation appears to be remote. Both sides must realise that the children of today will be the leaders of tomorrow and what those children do and how they go about doing it will depend largely upon the feeling that are set up for or against their case by the leaders of today. The standard set up by these leaders of today, their methods of arbi- tration and the conclusion which they reach, wlll be in a large aeasure serve ae examples which youth will copy under a like set of circumstances.

This brings us to international relations, whlch ls really the problels of one nation, multlplled by all the nations ct' the world. We are no longer isolated from the rest of the world. With radio, fast modes el' travel and shipping, all cenntrles are becoming more and more clvllhed and are all thlrstlng for peace and happiness the same as we. Thru these medlume our problems are becoming the common property of man in every country and the enlightenment which cones from this interchanglng of ideas, is bount to create a brand of lead- ership ln the future, superior to that of the present day. Tee little attention has been paid to the care of the older people. Certain noted psychiatrists have stated that a man of fifty- flve should retire. If he does retire, what will he use for secur- ity? A good number of the old folks have either squandered their money cn their children or because of lack of work had to use what little money they were able to save for their keep. After doing this, they find their resources totally depleted. It seeas to ne that ln as much as they have taken care of all our needs, it ie only fair that we take the responslblllty of carlng for them ln the twilight of their lives without the stigma of the poor house or hav- lng to accept alms. As time moves along the barriers which for so long have.stood between raclal understandings are gradually being broken dovm. Our country hae gone a long way toward reducing hatred and ,jealousy a- neng its people because of its complex population. It ls only natural that everyone should be proud of the blood that flows in his veins but no one is ordered by I-Un that gave us all te dlsorlmlnats or rule by force anyone, whether he be Christian or Jew. If we ere to proa- per we must and shall respect each others rights. Reerly every great movement for good has been horn because the forces of evll had become strong and arrogant. But we must see to it that good will always conquer evil, even against great odds. This great movement ls on to morrow. Int each and everyone of life to the forces of good. Let courteous, to work cheerfully and help solve our problems ot' tc- us here today, now dedicate his us take every opportunity to be save, to cast out all hatred and evil from our minds, tree ourselves of bigotry and Join ln this great march toward the time when we are no longer young, when we will be carrying the load. Let us so live that when the time cease for us to lay down our tools, we nay leave our children a heritage they will be proud to carry on. .ah The Youth of a lation are the trustees of Posterity. -Dlsraeli Almost everything which is great has been done by youth. -Dlsraell
