A - True Love Story I was reading a history Ixxrk in the 7th grade when I first noticed her, and I suddenly felt a hit of childish passion. By the time I graduated from high school, 1 had fallen in love. She may be a little on the large size, but who cares? To me, sites the most lieauti-fu- l thing on earth. I love her for many reasons and one of them is her compassion for others. Shes always thinking of someone else. Always giving of herself. When I stop to think of the numerous people she lias helped when they need her I cant find the words to express myself. No, sites not perfect, by any meaas; but then, who is? Ali I care is that she tries hard to lie just what I want her to be. IIow many others can say that? Not many. I know. x .' Ive been around. Shes gentle and kind, and gives with her heart. And, when I see anyone trying to take advantage of her, it makes my blood lioil. I guess I'm just jealous. Havent I the right to lie? Id never stand by and see anyone try to take her away from me. Shes too precious; liesidcs she depends on me too much. Ill go on hiving and protecting her to the day I die. Of course, there are times when I tell her of things that are wrong. But, after I've told her, site always does her best to change them for me. Im proud of her for that. I've only to let her know how I feel and lie a little patient. No one can change things in a day, can they? Its when I've been away for awhile that I really iniss her and realize how much I long to get Ixick. Whats that saying, Absence makes the heart grow fonder?" As I near home, she's waiting' there with outstretched arms to offer me all of the wonderful thing's I have never been able to find in this cockeyed world. I know. Ive been around. Everywhere Ive traveled, Ive made the comparison and could not find one who could compare. I never have; I never will. Im convinced, after all these years. When I gp to sleep each night, I rest peacefully knowshe is there, belonging to me. And, in my heart, that ing 111 always keep her precious name America.

The answer is up to you, for the most important point is to get home safely. Alcohol will probably make you a worse driver than you were Itefore. It takes alxmt three hours to oxidize one ounce of pure alcohol, and it would lie advisable for you to wait accor-dinl- y if you wish to lie certain of driving solterly and safely. Variable factors are Itodv weight, the amount of food in the stomach, and the length of time during which the alcohol was consumed. Alcohol produces a tendency toward faster driving, the faster driving is doubly dangerous because alcohol also impairs vision and slows reactions. Alcohol induces sociability, but it also makes concentration inure difficult at a time when concentration is more important than ever. Don't stop for a drink just Ixifore you drive home from work or oil die way home. This is the worst possible time, for you are fatigued, your stomach is empty, and you allow little or no time for your brain to clear after that guests or friends who are driving have a drink lie fore they leave.

As the Hand of Fate reached into the capsule-fille- d container time and time again, the heartlreats of the younger generation pounded louder and louder. News of the lottery drawing results came to eligible males in different ways. Some met in groups to await the outcome while others sat silently, uttered a small prayer, and, with fingers crossed, glanced at the morning newspaper. af As the younger males read down the listings to locate their birth date and their alphabetical letter position, two definite facial expressions emerged. For some men, I learning smiles and grins from ear to ear became apparent, while some faces suddenly drooped as watery eyes and extreme depression spread quickly. For some, the lottery drawings meant a sudden change in plans. Many of the lucky men rapidly realized that they could go h ahead and make definite plans for the future. They could now or new look cars, for school, promising jolis, get married, buy do any of the things that the former looming draft laws had forbidden them to do.

The results of the drawings were not limited to draft age men only. Anxious parents throughout the country eagerly scooped-utheir morning newspaper off the front lawn to see if their son would be drafted during the coming year. Even on military posts, many new Privates hastily examined the newspaper listings just to see what would have happened if they were still civilians. After viewing the lottery results, many discovered that their fate would have remained unchanged; military duty would have still lieen in their crystal liall. For some, however, the listings revealed that their chances of lieing drafted during 1970 would have lieen very slim. One common cry that seemed unanimous was, "Oh, it 1 had only stayed in school one more semester." One young Private summarized everyone's feelings for the lottery when he discovered that Septemlier 14 and the letter J would determine who the first men to lie called would lie.
