JACKIE’S CORNER
Dear Jackie.
Please tell me hew memoriz-
ing the Declaration of Inde-
pendence will help me in fu-
ture life.
A Harassed History Student.
Dear Harassed History Student
Memorizing the Declaration of
Independence can t>e of infin-
ite value to you in the future.
Just suppose that you are at-
tending a party which has
flopped. Conversation is strain-
ed: the guest bored, and every-
one wants to go home. Sud-
denly someone suggest^, “Why
don’t we let - recite the
Declaration of Independence?”
| And you see, you have saved
! the day! Then perhaps you
| will someday be elected to Con-
\ gress; a desperate situation
arises and you must filibuster.
What do you say? Why. the
Declaration of Independence,
of course! There are hundreds
of instances when this know-
lege will be invalauble (I
think.) Good luck.
Jackie.
Dear Jackie,
Last month I lost my boy
friend’s.ring, bracelet and jack-
et. The following week I stood
him up three times for dates ;
with V. R. I lost V. R.’s car j
keys and his bill fold. Now I
have no boy friend. What can
the trouble be? I was very
careful to use Lifebuoy and
Ipana tooth paste before each
date. Help me.
Desperately,
Faithless Fannie.
Death Faithless Fannie.
I judge by your letter that
| you lost your boy friends along
! with the other articles. I sug-
i gest you establish a lost and
found department on the Bank
Corner. If nothing is returned
to you, my last advice is to
cross a street on a red light.
May you never cross a red.
; light,
Jackie.

Will
]®se to vour chiftsn?
Men have died to leave you these
4 symbols of freedom:
A doer* key — your right to look
vour door against, illegal government
force and prying.
(Fourth Amendment, U, S. Constitution >
A Hoiy Blbic — symbol of your right
to worship as you v:‘sh.
(First Amendment, < . 3. Cinstitution)
A pencil — freedom, to speau or
write what you think, whether you agree
with the government or not.
(First Amendment, U. S. Constitution)
And a free ballot—your right to choose
the kind of government you want — your
protection against gov.ernment tyranny.
(Article /, U. S. Constitution)
These symbols have no meaning in
countries where government controls
everything — for there the individual
man-or woman has no freedoms.
Bui there are people who are trying to*
gr-’e the L. S. government more
and more control over American
life. ‘‘Let the government start,”
they say, 'oy taking over certain
industries and services —the doctors,
the railroads, the electric
light and power companies.”
Most of these people — like most
Americans — don't want a socialistic
U. S. A. They have other reasons
for government control. But when
government, moving step by
step, controls enough things, you have
a socialist government, whether
you want it or not. YoiCll be
controlled, too. Then what freedoms
will you be able to pass on to
your children?
