country, but who are going abroad to
work with and teach others the values
of a free society? Many of them don't
understand their own society, but yet
they're going abroad to tell others how
to live. We would suspect that a lot of
them should be back home taking a few
more spins in a laundromat dryer before
they're ready for the Corps.
On the other hand, we can see a lot
of good coming from our rural youth
who are members of the Corps. The bulk
of them have had All training or FLA
and through their labors have inherited
a lasting understanding of their country.
And there's still another group that we
think could do the Peace Corps a lot of
good. The government recently an
nounced that it will need some 5000
volunteers for overseas Peace Corps duty
during the next twelve months.
This would be an opportunity for many
of our senior citizens. Many of the volun-
teers could be selected from the men and
women now planning to retire.

1t has been estimated that almost half
of the young people in high school will
eve graduate. During these times of
relatively high employment, it is shock
ing that nearly half of the young people
in high school will give up their oppor-
tunity to get a high school diploma.
Why is it hat many young people are
merely marking time in school until they
are old enough to go to work? Why are
so many young people so anxious to take
the first job that comes along although it
may be entirely unsuited to their abili-
ties and personality?
The parents, school teacher, and church
leaders must intensity their efforts in
guiding children who fail to sense the
need for a high school education. 1t is

A Hike By Bike

Revelation by old-timers that United
States Marines in Teddy Roosevelt's day
proved their condition by walking SO
miles in three days - not one, as the
White House physical fitness enthusiasts
had enormously assumed has turned
the damper on Washington's ambulatory
madness.
Since thousands who had probably
never walked a mile even for their favor
tie cigarette, struck boldly out for far
horizons, and three-state alarms are still
out for missing remnants of hiking
groups, the shank's mare megrims have
now passed into history with marathon
dancing, flagpole sitting and goldfish
swallowing.
But, with the earliest hint of Spring,
the good old bicycle reappears as it has
since the gay nineties to fill the fitness
vacuum. Twenty-seven million of them
will blossom forth to speed the explora-
tons so p~erennially mandatory on youth
when the grass sprouts, the buds burst
and the birds sing and once more to
bring the spirit of competition out of
doors.
Today, as the Washington workers ac-
cept the fate of being more cerebral than
pedestrian and admit the Bobby Kennedy
hike is not for them, cyclists at the Uni
versity of Indiana are tuning up for their
Little 500", a bike race as celebrated in

important that pupils are given the OPP
p~ortunity to take courses for which they
are best suited. 1t should also be brought
to their attention that employers gen.
orally are not going to put cutters in
responsible positions.
The year or two it takes to finish high
school may seem like a lifetime to a teen
ager but a little self-discipline during this
period will, in most cases, pay off in fu-
ture happiness and earning ability.
Learning self-discipline, learning to give
up immediate pleasures for long-range
happiness, is probably as important to
e future success as is the additional
education that one gets by remaining in
school.

Faced with these thoughts

where do we start? I say on
the 21st day of March, let's
get together and see what we
can work out. The Mayor, the

and most of all, us parents,
everybody who is interested

A recent speaker in Sidney was asked
what he thought of the Peace Corps.
After taking a long drink of water, he
smiled Tor did he laugh and went on to
point out the shortcomings of the organi-
zation as he saw them.
