You Had Better
Believe In Youth
Believe it or not, today
there are one hundred million
Americans 25 years
young or younger.
That's right, half our
population of two hundred
million people.
On this basis, you'd better
believe in youth, if you
ever believed in anything. 4
Fortunately, you can believe
in this swelling tidal
wave of Tomorrow.
Despite the bearded beatnicks
in some areas, the
youth of today is just as
sound as the youth of
yester-year.
Despite the hapless hippies
of the lunatic fringe,
the high school crop of today
is the best crop we've
ever raised. They're eager
to learn and share their ^
knowledge.
Despite misguided demonstrators
on some campuses,
the college men and
worn on of tnHav arp lparn
ing more and acting more
adult than those of other
generations.
Despite the commie-led
agitators on city streets,
the average youths in your
neighborhood and mine are
still closer to God and
country than ever before. .
Young men in uniform "
are helping America keep
its pledges all over the
world. Young women in
uniform are backing them
ud. and servine the sick.
the halt and the lame all
over the land.
Yes, youth is on the
march everywhere ... to
take over the job of upholding
law and order.
Young business men are assuming
more responsibilities.
Young scientists are i
contributing to new products,
new developments in
every field.
Dynamic, restless, productive
youth is dedicated
to improve this world.
If you don't believe it,
get acquainted with some
of the young people in your
neighborhood. You might
even help with one of the
youth groups in your community
or where you worship.
