Many anxious ones, however are discus'sing the possibility of another .'orld ar. Hopefully they are repeating that i t can't happen hare . Those who fought in the 'orld ar fought and died to perpetuate world peace . .Vere ; they successful? Not if we j again participate in another j . r. As long as the. foreign | governments do not attack our ! country, there is no reason why I our youth should be forced to ! fig.it to settle their disputes. ! cuid any one' of the foreign i nations do that for America? I Our youth are too precious. I t j can't happen here. In former years, i’f a few of our citizens were killed, our government felt called upon to declare war. .Vas it fair or right to plunge an entire nation into the bloody depths of war to avenge the death of a half dozen people? .Vould those victims have desired such a procedure? I think not. It is inconcievable to me, how killing a million more boys could rccompence their friends or the government. It did not; it canno t. America . jpined. the Allies and fought in the previous war because she felt it was her ! duty, because' Prince aided 6WHIT E ’ America to win her independence nearly a century ago. I ke owe no such debt now. i Our government will not force the youth that is flowering to-day to fight another devestating war. IT CaN'T HAFFSN HERE H.S. '38 HG.V I CHOOSE MY BOO Its I do not find the task of selecting my books difficult. Very often by reading the review of a book, I am able to determine whether I shall enjoy the story. bright jacket is always attractive to me until I see the title, which influences me a great deal. I remember the story, sunset Pass , a book orange in color. This was as attractive as the title, and I enjoyed tne story very much, I am never influenced by a best-seller list unless the book is rec-commended by a teacher or a friend my own age. Before selecting the book which a friend may suggest, I consider the tastes of my friend as well as my own. Often I choose a book because I have liked ..other books by the same author. For instance, I .enjoyed Dic-kens's . • Christmas Darol, and by this I.was influenced to 'read Bavid Cop-erf ie Id and Great Expectations by the same author. B.3. ’37
