DI T ORIAL i THE CHALLENGE OF TODAY America is in a fight today - a iight for its life. The fight is between capitalism and communism. VVith the Korean battle being waged, the rearmament of Europe slowly progressing with American aid, in- flation, the dcold warn going on between Russia and the Western World, America is faced with the challenge of the survival oi' our democratic way of life and our capitalistic system. But who is America? America is you, I, our fathers, mothers, and relatives. Any challenge to our problems must first arise from the individual, no matter how smali or insignificant the individual seems in todayis situations. Where is this country going? YVith all the corruption, scandals, rackets in gov- ernment and in business, is it on the down- hill trend? Is its history destined to parallel that of Rome - to reach a great height, then fall? Let's not allow this to happen. Let's rally and come forward with new ideals, renewed strength and a great resolve to face and solve our acute problems. With the advent of the Atomic Age, the world has a full, rich future ahead of it, if it can jump the hurdles of today. As individuals, our life ahead is a great challenge - a soul-inspiring challenge. Can we live the right kind of life in the sight of God? This nation unfortunately has become spiritually slugyfisli. VVQ have lost that spirit and faith which our fore- fathers possessed. lt seems that the nation has become a land of money-grabbcrs. Continued to Page 83 Page six l A SENIOITS PRAYER . Heavenly Father, guide us as we go out to tace the world. Help each of us to find our calling and to do our best in com- munity and world affairs. Help us to use wisely the learning which we have acquired through our school years, that we may become good citizens. As we walk through life, let us observe our environment, physical and social, and show us the way to improve it. Help us to distinguish good advice from the bad when it is given us, and to give wise counsel when it is asked of us. Give us understanding and toleration for all races and creeds, for the world is fast changing from segregated groups to a union of countries. We need to under- stand the people and customs of each country if this union is to succeed. Let us have faith in our convictions and stand up for truth and justice. Give us the grace to acknowledge our mistakes and faults and help us to rectify them. Help us to raise the next generation as a credit to our forefathers, who fought in every way to give us the freedom which we now enjoy. To retain these freedoms, we must have hope for the future, love for our fellow man and faith in God. Help us to keep these qualities alive always. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen. By Rhoda VVo':cl
