Americanism
By Gertrude Whittet

Americanism and love of .coun-
try 60 hand in hand, and is instill-
ed into the heart and mind of
every child throughout the home,
the school and the church.
In the true American home the
parents, unconsciously instill pat
riotism into the hearts of their
children. They do this by teach
ing the children obedience, SO they
will later obey the laws Of their
country. Then they teach them to
take part in affairs Of the home
and help to keep it neat and clean.
They also set a good example for
their children by voting and taking
part in other civic duties, so that
the children will learn to take
their part in the worlds affairs.
The church holds Christ as our
model and teaches His Command
ments. A good Christian is a good
citizen.
At school we have teachers with
the highest ideals of Americanism.
They teach us about the patrol
rules, and to obey the rules Of the
school. They also have citizenship
clubs which teach US to take our
part in affairs at school, and they
have Boy and Girl Scouts, which
help US solve some of the greater
more difficult problems.
Many people from other coun-
tries are glad to belong to a coun-
try like ours with such high ideals,
and by our laws have become nat
uralized and have sworn their al
legiance to the United States. Am
erica, the Melting Pot" of the
world. has many citizens of many
nationalities, ready to defend their
country in time of need.

Being a Good Citizen
By Leon Pease

The best example of a good
citizen is the Boy Scout. In his
scout book there are rules which
he has to learn to obey to be a
good scout. In living the lite OF
being a good citizen the Boy
Scout rules should be carried on
through life.
First be trustworthy, so if you
gain an important position you
may always keep it or gain bet
ter one, because if you cheat you
go down from good position to
none, as no one can rely upon you,
and not being reliable you are
detriment to your country as you
are not helping to build it up as
always must be done.
Being loyal means you should
not stand around when you have
no work and criticize the gov
ernment as to how it should be
run, ten chances to one it would
not be run as well as by he who
is getting along the best he can
finding any thing to do he can
and doing it willingly. This per-
son is being loyal by making him
self too busy to lind fault with how
the government s,.ould be run.
Loyalty won our independence,
loyalty should keep our independ-
ence. A good citizen to his coun-
try should always try to be friend
ly with other people and other
countries, he should always try to
be the example Of the people in
his country and to other countries.
He should always make the friend
ship grow instead of tearing it
down.
If you are not obedient you are
not good citizen. To disobey
laws is destroying the building up
of the government. For what are
these laws made but to better this
country or they would not be
made.
Any good citizen should be
thrifty so as to save in the time
Of plenty for the time Of need. If
you are thrifty you are industri-
Gus, ambitious, which all helps to
make a better country. If you
just continue living the rule of q
Boy Scout you will be considered
one of the outstanding citizens of
your country.
