18 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD EDITORIAL ' S3 0310 GOOD FENCES AND GOOD NEIGHBORS “Good fences make good neighbors,” writes the poet, Robert Frost. But, of course, there are always exceptions to a rule. It would take more than a mere fence or a thousand fences, piled one on the other, to make some of the European countries good neighbors. At the least disturbance these countries rouse the whole world by the : r quarreling. Let us get down to the real purpose of fences. They are built to let the “other fellow” know just how far he can go and be welcome. Let him go a step farther and he is a transgressor, a law-breaker, an enemy. Good neighbors should have no need for physical barriers of barbed wire, stone, concrete. Good neighbors should realize they call themselves civilized, and civilized people do not need a glaring sign stuck in their faces saying, “This is as far as you may go.” A good neighbor respects the rights of others and his intelligence tells him when he is overstepping. For instance, our next door neighbor. Canada, has no fences nor military barriers to maintain good terms with the United States. The same is true of Mexico and the United States. These countries are good neighbors because they respect each other’s rights, recognize each other’s boundaries without benefit of bullets and bayonets. A fence is justified only amongst strangers—when people do not trust each other or when arguments and irritations arise because 1 neither knows just where the boundary is. The European countries, although hardly strangers, are continually squabbling over boundaries. With them, fences are necessary. Good fences, strong fences adequately guarded, kept in constant repair. Will this isolate the nations into jealous groups? No. The best part of the strong fence is the strong gate, standing invitingly open to friends and good neighbors, slammed shut in the face of enemies. If there must be a fence, its presence can be redeemed by its gate. Good fences and good neighbors. Good fences will net make good neighbors though they will keep them of! your property. Good neighbors will not make fences because you will be welcome on their property and they on yours. Julia Shykula, ’37
