Uncle Sam
Means A Lot
(Juneau Empire)
In this time of unsettled world
conditions. America is one of the
few countries not involved in
war. Many people think that Am
erica must try to preserve d moc
racy in this crisis and I. one of
the millions of American youth
would like to tell “What Uncle
Sam Means to Me.-’
Uncle Sam means to me the
privilege to enjoy ducation to
its fullest extent. When I go to
school each day. I am allowed to
read about other types of govern
ment and open-mindedlv com
pare others with ours. Certain
books written critically about our
government and others praising
the rule in some other country
are not banned or burned as in
Germany. They are at my dis
posal.
Another privilege I enjoy is the
fre:d*m to w :>hip. E.-.ch Sunday
morning I walk to church—not a
church controlled by the state —
the church I a n fond of, desire
to attend, and believe in. Other
people in my community attend
other churches. Unci' S-m has
provided m with freedom of re
jig.:n. The Pilgrims first cr.me to
America to attain it. a”d now it
is one of my precious rights
Freedom of speech is ar**her
thing I enjoy each d3y of my lif
Ln th:s country. I may voice try
opinions on the government, our
lead rs, our foreign policy or any
other subject I choose wither
being thrown in prison. Not only
do individuals in our country er
joy freedom of speech, but free
dom of the press also. Our news
papers are not governrrent-ron
troll d, so they may voice thel
own opinions. Our author? may
write as they please wi.h the as
surance that their b ok?, if pub
lish d. will be read by million
despite any views they mav con
tain.
Uncle Sam, to me, is ti rd oH
man with a long grey «rd and
white hair who si s on sea* o'
justice which guaranU s that w
may have a fair trial ii we ar: in
voiced in any e.rinv or misde
mean r. His kindly hords reach
out offering us protection. Secur
ity in old age and the assurance
that our childr n will be cared
fbr are other important factors
that I appreciate.
Symbolic of what this kindly
protector means to me are the
tall purpue mountains and fertile
rolling plains—a rich golden land

ATLANTA, Ga, May — Former
Ambassador to Britain Joseph P
Kennedy said tha: the United

grace abroad: in disaster and
bankruptcy at home.”
Kennedy spoke at the Com
mencement . xercises of Eastern
College. Kennedy said he favored
aid to Britain to give the United
States time to arm herself and
added that America’s destiny
would b. affected by a German
victory. Sa d Kennedy:
"We shall have to fight harder
for safety in an Axis-dominafed
world.”
Kennedy aid Axis penetration
of the Western Hemisphere must
not bo permitt d.
However, he said, American in
.srvention .n the war would only
bring "suffering, injury, death
poverty a'd starvation."
