FREE MEN OR SLAVES ? You of the class of 1950 are graduating from high school at a critical time in our country’s history. As Americans you will have decisions to make that will determine the kind of world in which you and your children will live. Liberty, which we have tended to take for granted, is in danger of being lost; not by outside conquest but from softness within. Your right to free decision and your opportunity to build a successful career based on your ability and ambition are being compromised by those who seek security, not as a result of their own efforts, but as a ‘‘gift’’ from the federal government. A government that supports the people also directs and orders their lives, determines what they shall do, and what their reward shall be. This is slavery. If you want to avoid it, you must resist the tempt - ing bait of sovernment handouts for which you have not delivered value. You must determine.to make your own way and pay your own bills. You must vote into office people who believe ina free, self-reliant people not in a populous living on government dole, Have confidence in yourself; seek Posen ayes build your own security; and it will continue to be fun to Hive in America.
