Show FEBRUARY 9, 1952. THE JOURNAL EDUCATION OR CATASTROPHE Many will look back over the year 1951 with a feeling bordering on despair. The cause of free men has had tough sledding. It is impossible to adequately describe the suffering and frustration in Korea just as it is impossible to sum up in a few words the political, economic and social milestones of the past twelve months. It is clear now that corruption in government has become a factor on the American political scene of incalculable importance. It is also clear that debt, taxes and controls are a threat to military security and a virtual death sentence to the economic security of the average individual. In spite of these grim items on the debit side of the ledger Americans must face the new year with courage. They can count among their blessings assets possessed by no other nation. Years ago one of the countrys leading economists and columnists who apparently saw the handwriting on the wall wrote to the effect that the greatest gifts parents could leave their children were good health and a good education. We are the healthiest and most literate of the major nations. These basic tools if properly used are now our best hope. One of the most significant stories of 1951 has rated no headlines. That story is the tireless manner in which our free press has hammered home day after day, chapter by chapter, shocking facts about the incompetance and corruption of countless public officials to say nothing of the grand schemes of bureaucratic spenders of tax funds to socialize and control industry, workers and consumers. Never in the history of this country has a free press stood more solidly between private citizens and oppression. Few people appreciate the scope of the American press. It is as vast as it is unique. It consists of highly efficient wire services, several hundred metropolitan publications, many of whose names are bywords in the home, plus more than eleven thousand country daily and weekly newspapers owned and operated by thousands of editors who fully realize that back of all our political, international, labor, tax, industrial and inflation problems stand simple principles we must adhere to in order to make our country tick. They know that to enjoy the liberties our forefathers fought for, we must save the system which they built to guarantee them. That this treat is real and iminent should be ominously evident to all. More Federal taxes have been collected from the American people in the last seven years than in all preceding years since the founding of the nation some $260,000,000,- 000 as against only $250,000,000,000 from 1789 through June 30, 1945, which includes of course the years of World War 1 and II. The situation at the beginning of 1952 has been described as a race between education and catastrophe. Because our country enjoys free speech and a free press the outcome should not be in doubt. The people have the means to know what is going on. Their knowledge can be a source of unbeatable strength, in the future as it has been in the past. A CODE OF LIVING v f In these days when the evidence points to a widespread weakening of the American moral fibre, with major crimes climbing faster even than the increase in population, it is encouraging to note that a great moral force in America is growing even stronger. The Boy Scouts of America celebrates its 42nd birthday during Boy Scout Week, February 6 through 12. It is an occasion when we can pause and consider its mark on the youth of the nation. Since 1910, more than nineteen million American boys and men have been influenced by this Scout Oath : On my honor I will do my best To do my duty to God and my country, and to obey the Scout Law; To help other people at all times, To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and moral- ly straight. For its young men members, known as Explorers, the Boy Scouts of America has this dedication pledge,- which - could well be adopted by all Americans : I will share the responsibility of my home school, church, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights of the United States of America. I will respect and obey the law in order to have security and freedom. I will share the responsibility of my horn, school, church, neighborhood, and community; and when legally of age, I will .register and vote in all elections. Twill deal fairly and of whatever race or creed, in kindly with my the spirit of the Scout Law and Americas tradition of equality of opportunity. I will work to preserve our American heritage of liberty and responsibility, I acknowledge that the privilege we enjoy g were won by the hard work, and sacrifices, faith and to of our forefathers. I will do all m my power pass on a better.America to the next generation. Today over 2,900,000 boys and men are actively enrolled in over 80,000 different units. Scouting is indeed a great asset to the nation. May it continue to succeed in influencing the Yivel of countless more boys as you go Forward On Libfellow-citize- ns clear-thinkin- ... ertys Team. 5 One of Season's Lovely Young Brides A Son for Farouk Was Former Miss Norma Jean Stuart One of 1952s CLEARFIELD loveliest joung brides was Miss Norma Jean Stuart, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Stuart, State Street, whose mairiage with Gene Fessler, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Fessler of Layton Park, was solemnized in the Salt Lake LDS temple Jan. 1(5.
