IF VOLUNTEERS J
The late Dr. Edward Lindenan,
Columbia University Sonologist,
estimated several
rears ago that there were over
!0 million volunteers in
\merica ? 20 million citizens
vho day in and day out gave
ime and energy without pay
>n behalf of the health, welare
and educational instituI
ions of their community.
It would be a difficult task
o name, or enumerate, the
U *
lumuci ui \-iinion-ijyaiQ em)loyees
who would belong
vithin this multi-million list.
Ve have people at Clinton- <
jydia Mills who donate their
ime to youth activities, receationai,
Boy Scouts and
Tampfire Girls programs,
ichool activities, and Parent 1
Teacher groups. Many volun- 1
eer church workers, both 1
idult and youth programs,
ivic organizations, and all are
nterested in our local govern- 1
nental problems. This list ;
;ould go on and on and still
Tlinton-Lvdia Mills would bo
epresented. '
But one day Dr. Lindeman
et his imagination run and
>egan to wonder: What if
hese volunteers quit?
What if, on a certain hour J
if a certain day, all of the
volunteers in America ? just 1
lecided to stay at home?
He concluded that within
ix months we would become
i dictatorship. Within six (
nonths all of our free instituions
would be gone. All of
iur activities would be taken
iver by some form of bureauratic
officialdom.
He granted that his estinate
of six months might be
i little accelerated. "But cer- 1
ainly," he said, "within a
lefinite period of time, without
any opportunity for the
ree choice of individuals ?
itizenship, democracy and
reedom would disappear."
a h-- i * (

nore important that we as- '
ume such obligation, he
>ointed out. Today we have 1
cached a period of history
vhen the complexity of the !
rnoblcm far outruns the availible
leadership.
Toynbee has called this the
\ge of Trouble. Psychiatrists
rail it the Age of Anxiety,
some moralists call it the Age
>f Corruption, and religionists 1
>ften refer to it as the Age of
Disbelief.

WOULD OUT!
They are all negative terms,
and obviously man cannot live
by negation. Dr. Lindeman's
recipe for a way out of negation
was one word: "volunteer,"
find something to do in
relation to human welfare.
In Dr. Lindeman's own
words:
"We expect people in a free
iu engage in xnis Kina
of activity because they really
care about what happens to
people. That means they are
responsible citizens. That is
what the word 'responsible'
means, it means 'capable of
responding to need.'"
"If then," he concludes,
"the volunteers were to disappear
from American society,
if men were to cease, either
from necessity or from choice,
to exercise their right to have
active roles in the life of their
community, then only the
shell of democracy would remain.
"When men have surrendered
the right to give of themselves,
their money and their
time, generously and voluntarily.
to the causes which are
dear to them, the heart of a
free society has ceased to
beat."
America is known as a
happy land. Perhaps it is because
so many Americans
have heeded the advice of a
man who said, "The place to
be happy is here. The time to
be happy is now. The way to
be happy is to help make
others so."
Nowhere on eartn can we
find citizens working together
voluntarily to help each other
to the extent that we do in
America. We have some 12
iVlAl iconri ^

thousand chambers of commerce.
15 thousand civic service
groups, and 100 thousand
women's organizations.
We work together because
we have found our greatest rewards
through helping and associating
with others. This
fact has made our society one
af the strongest in the world.
There are few persons
among our Clinton-Lydia family
who do not take part in ^
some of these volunteer activ- ^
ities. Many make it a habit to
help their neighbors in special
tasks that do not come within
the framework of an organization.
Others "put their should
ers to the wheels" when civic
groups undertake special j
projects.

Lei's Keep
n?:..
I thank God for Christmas.
Would that it lasted all year.
For on Christmas Eve, and
Christmas Day, all the world
s a better place, and men and
vomen are more lovable. Love
tself seeps into every heart,
and miracles happen. When
Christmas doesn't make your
neart swell up until it nearly
bursts . . . and fill your eyes
with tears . . . and make you
all soft and warm inside . . .
then you'll know that something
inside of you is dead. We
hope that there will be snow
for Christmas. Why? it is not
really important, but it is so
nice, and old-fashioned, and
appropriate, we think.
So we will not "spend"
Christmas . . . nor "observe"
Christmas. We will "keep"
Christmas?keep it as it is . . .
in all the loveliness of its
ancient traditions. May we
keen it in nnr V-ir>n c
r VJ 111(11 WC
may bo kept in its hope.
