Being a Good Citizen
By Leon Pease

The best example of 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 life 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 a bet
ter one, because if you cheat you
go down from a good position to
none, as no one can rely upon you,
and not being reliable you are a
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 amy thing to do he can
and doing it willingly. This per-
son is being loyal by making him.
self too busy to find fault with how
the government sllould 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 better country. If you
just continue living the rule of a
Boy Scout you will be considered
one of the outstanding citizens of
your country.
