18 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD EDITORIALS LOOKING TO THE FUTURE “The past speaks for itself, the future encourages hope.” We arc now living in a period when both hope and despair are playing an important part in our lives. There are many who look with fear to the future, who foresee only how far down the road of destruction we can go. But, if we have thought this, let us remember our past. We have struggled, but we have survived. Our forefathers at the time of the Revolution held no hope for the future, but from that time, has not America proved herself a great nation. ' If we fight for the great principles of our ancestors, if we keep bef ore us the ideals for which we are fighting, we shall succeed as we have in the past. The future takes strength from the past, the future will be what we make of it, the future is ours to mold and make great. Let us not fear what the close of this war may bring, let us only believe in our power to succeed and keep our hope in America. Eufrasina Colo, ’44. HOME DEFENSE The people of this country have seen a great change in their work programs and also in their social life since our country declared war on the Axis powers. That Sunday morning of December 7, 1941, when Pearl Harbor was bombed by the Japanese, opened the eyes of the American people. Soon after, defense plants adopted a twenty-four hour day and a seven day week program. Many factories and shops that were not on defense wor k quickly converted their industry to war work even though some of them had to install new machinery to meet the requirements of the government. The women and girls also are doing many jobs that used to be done by men who have since been inducted into the armed forces. Of course this is a good thing because it keeps defense industries going. Furthermore, civilians all over the country in the last two years have done a splendid job in organizing the civilian defense groups. Many of the groups that have been started are as follows: the airplane spotters, the air raid wardens, the auxiliary policemen, and the auxiliary firemen. These people are not being paid for their services, but they understand that if the people are prepared, it will be easier to go through air raids. Of course there are those people who just say it will never happen here and will not have anything to do with the defense groups. Some people even laugh and make fun of the ones who are doing their best to help out on the home front. However, let us pray and hope that enemy planes w ' ill never be soaring over head, but I personally think that the only way to make the people cooperate is to have a sample of wdiat the people are going through in the war-stricken countries on other continents. The rationing problem seems to be perplexing. In this country there would be hardly any reason for rationing if the people would only use their heads. People have brought rationing upon themselves by going out and buying more goods than they have immediate use for. Then, too, there are the dealers who take advantage of the fact that the rich people will pay a considerable price for commodities that o CN Page
