Cbitonal The Future! It is full of unpredictable details, but we know it contains amazing revelations in the realms of science, economics and world government. We ourselves and our children will be the voice of Canada, the voting citizens in this future full of promise. This is just the beginning of the post-war world in the post-war period of readjust- ment, and there are difficulties now in world government and international affairs, as well as municipal and provincial problems, for which our parents and friends, the adults of to-day, must find solutions. But we are the adults of to-morrow. We can- not and must not visualise ourselves as adults in a dreamworld, a Utopia of ease and plenty. We must awake to the need our country has of responsible clear-thinking citizens. We must not grow up in a narrow world of thought bounded by the ad- venture and romantic novels of the escapist. The time is now — young citizens of to-morrow ' s world. Teach us to hear the yo e in youth, With steadfastness and carefid truth, That in our time. Thy grace may give The truth whereby the nations Uve. — Kipling Canadians of every age and every calling united, and fulfilled successfully the responsibilities war thrust upon them, whether on the home or fighting front. Now that hostilities have ceased we not only feel relieved and deeply thankful, but look forward to the task of winning and preserving the peace with the same success. To accomplish this task we must act now, arming ourselves, not with bloody death-dealing weapons, but with knowledge without which we are weak, helpless, a prey to the tyrant Evil in the form of isolationism, selfishness, greed, alcoholism and immorality. These things shall he : a loftier race Than ere the world hath nown, shall rise With flame of freedom in their souls And light of nowledge in their eyes. We, the youth of the nation, have been thrown the torch by those who died to preserve the light of freedom. Let us hold it high! Barbara Cosford Page Five
