popular mind mean the right to do
evil? The Creator has endowed man
with the power of moral choice
the right to choose between the
good life and the bad. the high
way and the low. This is a tremend-
Gus gift, awful in its potentialities,
and upon the way we use it depends
the destiny of our world.
Democracy means to me free
dom to do the will of God. freedom
to fill the highest role to which He
has called me. Democracy must
ever be identified with the right to
do that which is good. st. Paul must
have had something akin to this
idea in mind when he wrote to the
Philippians, Finally, brethren,
whatsoever things are true, what.
soever things are honest, whatso-
ever things are just, whatsoever
things are pure, whatsoever things
are lovely and of good report
think on these thingS-to do them"
II fOloWs that democracy places
upon Us mighty responsibilities.
Last year Kiwanis International
had for its slogan, Freedom Is
Not Free. 1t never is. 1t was
bought with a price, and today we
are called upon to preserve it by
educating our children not only in
the ways of government but in the
ways Of truth and righteousness.

Armiistice Day
In Korea Gets
Little Notice

WASHINGTON R-America and
some of her 1918 allies honor their
war dead today in solemn cere-
monies observing the Saith annivers-
ary of the signing of the armistice
that ended World War but did
not bring world peace.
1t is Armistice Day in the United
States, in France, in Canada, with
its wreath laying, speeches, pray
ers and patriotic music.
But it was hardly noticed at the
Korean Front.
American troops in peaceful posts
about the world observed the day.
In France, American soldiers
joined with the French in joint
services in Orleans, Verdun and
Nancy.
In Germany, troops there were
urged by their commanding officer
to rededicate themselves to the
principles for which 126, 900 Ameri-
cans died in that first world war.
But armistice observanceS were
Subdued there because Germans
did not like to be reminded of their
1918 defeat.
In Korea the day was subdued
for other reasons.
Not more than one fourth of the
Americans fighting there were even
born when the armistice was signed
in 1918. Greying colonels and aging
generals probably remembered,
and stopped a moment to pray.
But, writes Associated Press war
correspondent John Randolph, Ito
the vast majority of Americans in
Korea ii meant as much, or as
little as Memorial Day-that other
national souvenir of an old war"

WHAT DEMOCRACY MEANS

If it were possible for a large seq
ment of our population to be given
a word association test, the close
alliance of those two words would
undoubtedly be brought out. We
take a juStifiable pride in these
words which form such an integ-
raj part of our American heritage.
Freedom to do what? For all too
many it means the right TO do as
one darn pleases and to heck with
anyone else who stands in the way.
Interpreted in TINS light, freedom
means the right TO cheat and cut
corners in business deal Gas long

right to get sinking drunk when
ever one feels so disposed, the
right to live as unethical and i'm

KOREA VETS-DON'T SEND
PAPERS TO WASHINGTON. DC.

The Veterans Administration in
recent announcement has told vet
Grams how they can prevent unnec
essary delay in applying for educa
ton and training under the new
Korean CT Bill.
First, the VA said. veterans shoulc
send their completed applications
for training to their nearest VA
regional office. and not to the VAS
headquarters in Washington, d. C.
Hundreds of applications have
been coming into Washington, the
VA said, and this merely delays
things, since the papers then must
be forwarded to the proper VA regi-
onal office for action
VAS offices in Washington, DC,
does not process any of the applica-
tions for training taken in the Uni
ted States.
The second way veterans can pre-
vent unnecessary delay is to make
certain they include photostatic or
certified copies of both sides of their
discharge or separation papers. a
long with their applications for CT
training.
The VA must have the informa-
ton contained on both sides, in or
der to process the application. A
photostat of one side alone does not
contain all the necessary data The
VA then would have to write to We
teran for the additional informa-
ton, and such an exchange of let
tiers would take time
A third way veterans can help the
VA to help them is by completely
filling out their application forms
for education and training. The
form has five sections which the We
teran must complete: Cd Identifi-
cation of the veteran; (2) program
of education and training applied
for; 90 education and training re-
ceived while on active duty; a. CT
villain education, and 90 employ
ment experience.
Unless all the necessary informa-
ton is included on the form. the
VA can't take action on the veter-
ans application

An overall examination of the
reunion would disclose that it know
ingly or not would serve as a means
of saluting those who died for oul
country-and lis and those who
returned with battle scars which
will remain with them throughout
their lives.
