W1ll We be slax es to some madman s fancy or w1ll we contlnue to l1X6 1n our great grand and glorlous Amer1can way of l1f99 VV1ll we make successes of our own personal l1x es or w1ll We become dls 1llus1oned and forthxx 1th slnk to utter depths of despa1r'7 W1ll we contlnue to strlxe fox the betterment of th1s topsy turxv old world or W1ll we succumb to selfishness and greed to further our own ends?

Money does not buy happlness Yet there are those who say Wlth money one can be unhappy 1n com fort Those are the xvords of cymcs and sophlstlcates people who sat 1r1ze the reallv beaut1ful thlngs of 1 e The future of happy people IS a beautlful one for trulv h xppx people ma1n unhappy for long And so we come to the concluslon that the more happy people We haxe 1n the world the brxghter the future W1ll seem That may be merely an 11 luslon concermng the future but at least lt IS a peaceful and cheerful thought There w1ll always be a future Don t let anyone tell you d1fferently Wlth other young folks I have always had the lmplesslon that men and women 1n the autumn of thelr years dwell mostly ln the past However I have come to the mference at whlch my v1ewpo1nt concernlng the mxtter 19 exactly the rexerse I presume these usually genlal lId19Q xnd gentlemen ofter speak of dxys gone by but I belleve they ire more concerned VVlth the future xust as IS the younger gen eratlon For example Wllllam Allen , .
