Nonetheless, I believe the ideal, while it may never be achieved, is known, and that if it is ever to be reached it will be done by men individually controling themselves and their actions. Peace would be the inevitable outcome. The idea is there, and that is the thought I had hoped to express with my peace emblem. Then one day, five weeks later, I put the symbol away. I wasnt displeased with the results, but I realized there was a still better symbol, the symbol of self. A living symbol, which we human beings may struggle to become, though we know we shall never ascend the pinnacle, is far better than an inanimate sign which can mask deception. Humans can and do deceive, too, but I don't believe they can always hide their real selves. What they are will come through in what they do and say. The symbol of what we are should be ourselves, not a piece of ) lifeless metal. & Rampton hist-chis- "middle-of-the-road- ", ed tax-support- tax-payi- ng ed sus-fort- so-call- ed anti-Chri- tax-paye- rs HOLLADAYS ELECTRIC MOTOR 3Z31 South State St. All Electric Motors, Hand Tools Living Symbol (Continued from Page 3 Page 5 embodiment of the ideal of peaceful existence within a framework of law and that it was within this structure that maximum personal freedom, and productivity, was achieved. The U.S., I said, stood for- - a positive assertion of peace. Only when there is peace can we maximize the effort to satisfy human wants and desires. War and turmoil are the great destroyers because they turn efforts and resources away from filling the real needs of human beings. Freedom Under limited Government Only by strictly limiting government to its necessary role, as outlined in the Constitution, can Americans be most fully served, for they serve themselves and one another through voluntary and peaceful exchange. This remains the promise for these United States if government interventionism ceases, because interference by government in the market place is unpeaceful. In its finest sense, the U.S. stands for the best possible meaning of peace that I, to now, have been able to discern.
