took them in their plane to south
c r i t i c a l of the sad mess in which the world finds itself today to
anayze our own actions a bit to determ ine w hether
we ourselves as individuals are not in a large
m easure responsible.
The normal tendency of most of us is to place
the blame on the other fellow forgetting that we
are the other fellow to someone else and that our
actions and thinking when pooled constitute * the
actions and thinking of the world.
The ever current difficulty of getting people
to contribute of tim e and energy to civic e n te r
prises is typical of an American weakness which
we are quick to criticize but slow to adm it as our
own failing. There has never been any difficulty
in getting citizens to volunteer services which
call lor m arching at the head of the parade; the scarcity occurs
when the call comes for someone to help fill the ranks.
Probably much of this attitu d e stem s from the fact that publicity
and credit always go to the one who m akes the touchdown or who
is elected to the head position of an organization. We seldom hear
of the fellow who opens the hole for the backfield runner or the
one who serves faithfully on the cleanup committee.
All of which brings us back to our original point. Not enough are
interested in giving of service that doesn't bring credit or headlines.
It is much too easy to excuse ourselves by assuming that someone
else will do it anyway. Thus a trem endously unfair burden of re-
ponsibility is placed on the few who are imbued with the spirit
of giving.
This m ight be the appropriate tim e for all of us to check our
activities in order to determ ine how m a rv are devoted to our own
selfish ends. It is never too late. The satisfying pleasure which is the
rew ard of those who truly serve car. ¡>uli be ours if we are sin
cerely interested.
