that all people must earn ,the
benefits of society. We must do
this if we want to keep a
country worth living in.
Certainly, the lessons of history
give ample proof ofthe fate of a
- society.' „whieh-. becomes•-- -lazy,
dissipated, vulgar and immoral.
Licentious living is not a way of
life we can accept, and hope to,
survive . as a nation among
competing nations.
We must stop coddling the •
kids. Let's catch our' "younger
than teen" group, and teach
them what authority is, what
responsibility is, and what
morality . is, so that ,.someday
they can use this learning wisely
and pass on their knowledge to
, the next generation.,
Let's stop giving press,. radio
,andTV coverage to ourteen-age
misfits and, instead, publish
more on what our good, solid
young people are doing — the
hundreds and thousand :s of
teen-agers who are contributing
to . this world_ of our,s, and. who
will make dependable,
knowledgeable citizens,- but -who
are. being forgotten and
up -staged by the misfits., Let's'
hand them a ,few bouquets,
encourage them in their
endeavours, and, pray that some
of it will rub off on the unhappy
others who are leading our
country to ruin. Let's help these
serious kids to develop a country
which will throw away the worst
of the p'ast, and keep, the best.
And let's do it quickly( before
