Danny graduated from Scotts High school thi.f. year and will enter Appalachian State Teachers col lege in Boone, N. C. this fall. ‘‘Think—Speak—Participate— Build America’s Future” History has seen the destruction as well as the achievements of many nations and empires. These failures resulted from the influen ces of alien sources. These ideas might have seemed a little irreg ular to the citizenry, yet no one feeemed really concerned until it was indeed “too late.” That was the nation that was. Stories of current nations are based around the same old plot. A person familiar with several of these stories will be able to pre dict the ending of current and future situations. Perhaps the most illustrative story of this kind is The Decline and Fall of The Homan Empire. If the United States were placed in the scene how far in the drama would we be? Someone once figured that the average time a nation existed as such, was around 200 years Sim ple arithmetic (1965 minus 1776 equals 189) shows where we stand j compared with the average. But the interference comes with the “average.” America does not seem to be just another nation. Her people won’t let it be. Americans do all sorts of things. They say what they want, write what they want, paint some crazy looking pictures, disagree with everything you may say, and volunteer their time to teach Sunday School classes. Their interests are many and varied. They can create the kind of life they wish. Will they always have this opportunity. It is fine to have many inter ests, but we must not overlook the reason we are able to pursue these interests. America is the land of the free. Things just didn’t hap pen this way either. Free America was the product of the ideals and dedication on the part of men who wanted the best life possible for all men. They knew that they alone could not acomplish such a dream. But they initiated a system whereby each of endless genera tions would have a greater op portunity for accomplishing its individual dreams. “A Republic, if you can keep it, madam,” was Ben Franklin’s answer. The founding fathers seemed to take Voltaire to heart when he said, “I may not agree with a thing you say, but I will defend COME AND SEE OUR SPECIALS THESE PRICES EFFECTIVE THROUGH JULY 10TH 39-In.

C. to the death your right to say it.” We as Americans must never loose sight of this philosophy, for in it lies the success of our nation. The late President Kennedy was a champion of this idea. His best seller, “Profiles in Courage”, re flects how personal respect for those dedicated legislators who made unpopular decisions; decis ions made in the public interest by genuinely dedicated men even at the risk of their personal res pect. Attitudes seem to be changing. People stay clear of politics be cause “it is run by crooks,” they say. Such persons should band together in opposition. If they take no action they are the ones to be criticized. Unfortunately too many say, “I can’t afford to get involved.” Meantime a New York girl is stabbed to death while scores of people watch from their windows. High office holders par ticipate in meetings and aid Com munist front organizations. Am ericans are dying in the “peace” in Viet Nam. Fellow Americans, you can’t afford not to get involv ed! How do you get involved? The first thing to do is to register and vote. Join a political party or pol itical action group thereby making your opinion known to others. It is only through this means that our American representative gov ernment system will be guaran teed. The action of today’s citizens will determine the future of this nation. Complacency charts the course of fallen nations. Our ship of State can be guided only by a revival in interest of each indi vidual. With increasing Federal controls and laws, government be comes less and less by the people. For the individual to remain sup reme, he must assume his individ ual part, for he is the only one that can insure a free America. Are you an individual?

Nelson Bell is a surgeon who has given up his profession to become a full-time evangelical worker. He is the father-in-law of Billy Graham and is an associate editor of The Presbyterian Journ al, to which he contributes a col umn, “A Layman and His Church” each week. The following column appeared m the June 16 issue of TTie Journal:) Only those who have studied the situation in South America are aware of conditions within the universities in those countries. In many ways the students run the institutions themselves. On every campus there are professional ag itators who stay for years, many of them 30 years of age or more. So when we read of “student dem onstrations” we are often reading of professionally instigated at tacks against some political or in ternational objective. There is strong reason to be lieve that something of the same situation is developing in Amer ica. In some instances students have been led by professional ag itators, as was true on the cam pus at Berkeley, California. In others it is bona fide students who have left their role as such and branched out forming groups de manding “freedom” and “reforms” —which if granted could lead to academic anarchy. Some students in state universi ties are now demanding a voice in the choice of faculty members. Many rise up in open protest when a professor is dismissed, regard less of the cause. In some church-related institu tions there are some who demand the ' elimination of those aspects of education which identify the school as more than secular. There are demands, such as that students be permitted to keep liquor in their rooms — otherwise their “freedom” is infringed upon. The ominous thing is that in too many instances the adminis tration has weakly capitulated to the demands of students, no mat ter how far afield these may be. In Northern institutions it is not uncommon for permission to be given for male students to have near-by women students in their dormitory rooms’ until 1 a.m., or vice versa. The question inevitably comes to mind, “Who is fooling whom?” Basic to all of these changes which are appearing so rapidly on our American campuses is lack of discipline without which peo ple first flounder, then perish. This lack of discipline begins at home, extends out into the social order and right into the adminis tration and class rooms of our institutions of higher learning. What may have begun as isolated instances of revolt is on the way to becoming a rebellion which will affect the entire life of our na tion. When Christian faith and prin ciples dominate the home they are reflected in society as a whole. There was a time when Christianity was the impelling mo tive for the establishment of col leges and universities. In those institutions Christian discipline and the imparting of knowledge came above all else. Now that Christian faith is confused and principles are blurr ed we find the lowest in man, not the highest, coming to the sur face and it is not a pretty sight. Are there a sufficient number of convinced Christians left to re store once more the iron of con viction and discipline in the home and on outward into the institu tions which yet bear the name “Christian”? If so, now is the time to act. If not, the future is dark in deed! Leon Thomas dies at Joanna Leon L. Thomas, 59, of Joanna, died Saturday at Bailey Memorial Hospital in Clinton.
