jr. g,2,.....fa521,.,... O.. auf. . Everyone loves a circus the lilting tunes of the carrousal, the gay, colorful parade, the slow, lumbering elephants and wild, snarling lions are all a part of that joyous adventure. And who could ever forget the proud, prancing white horses, or the bearded lady, or the daring trapese artists? The circus is a symbolee a symbol of all the carefree abandon, the unbridled pleasures of youth. Now in our nation's present state of turmoil, many of these frivolous amusements have been forsaken for more serious pur- suits. It will naturally be hard to recapture that former light-heartednessg but just as inevitably as the dashing lion trainer and whimsical clowns will always remain a bright, sunny spot in our memories, so with spring the circus will return again. 44? lm JITIIIW fll I!

While Americans speak jealously of their rights, they do not always remember that the best way to safeguard these liber- ties is to observe just as carefully the duties of a good citizen. The practice of self con- trol, tolerance, fairness, reason, and initi- ative is the foundation of democracy, and all the victorious battles, all the American lives lost would be to no avail should the citizens of the United States fail to realize this fact. As defenders of the home front it is our obligation to the boys facing the guns to perform the dufiu as well as to enjoy the rigbtr of our democracy. Each American's most precious treasure is his personal freedom. It is that liberty which enables him to pick up his evening paper, shout threateningly at the newsboy to Throw the pa er on the porch, not in the bushes, and, proceed to read the truth. Every time he attends a public meet- ing, worships in his own church, or even turns on his radio he is enjoying the privi- leges of a democracy. If he were asked whether he would be willing to defend these privileges he would undoubtedly answer indignantly, You bet your life I would ! And yet, unconsciously, all of us often forget that we must be vigilant. Democrac was never bought cheaply. Blood and, sweat and tears, lives of loved ones, and years of struggle are the price we have paid and arestill paying, for our freedom . . . for our rights. , J' Y' I 4 4 -Q NN 4' s. ,N QQXNNN I JJ A 5 ,,1f1fZjijNQXRt XN !
