DEMOCRACY
(Editor's Note: Thli li the flrt
of . acriri of radlo-aa. written
by KUmth 1'nlon lUrh etudeaU,
for competition In the recent
Voice of Democracy Contest ipon-
ured by the Klamalh Falls I

..... nnl ihii year's winner, we
.re nroud of our KIHS' parllcl-
pants, and will print verbatim
each of the manuscripts, which
reflect serious student thlnkinc on
a subject of terrific mafnltude.)
I SPEAK FOR DEMOCRACY
Br Judy Ellea Jones
r iMt for democracy. For the
democracy of a land that is strong
and free. Free from the domination
of a dictator. We have freedom of
religion, of the press, of speech,
of thought, and of assembly.
Our country was founded on the
principles of freedom and our fore-
lathers lOUglll UIU VJ
iw fnri-iaUiers believed that "all
men are created equal, they are
endowed by their greater who cer
tain unalienable RiRhis. that
mnn? these are life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness." and our
democracy preserves uiese nguu.
Since time began man has
fought for freedom. In 1215 the
people of England forced King
John to sign the Magna Carta.
This was a petition of rights but
has very little effect until 1629.
We became a democracy in 1776
and since that time have remained
an independent and democratic
nation.
Our democracy believes in the
education of all Its Inhabitants, not
Just a few. as in less fortunate
nations. No matter whether you
are the son of a rich man or a
laborer's son you have an equal
opportunity.
When the pilgrims landed on Ply
mouth Rock in 1620 it was to
avoid persecution In Europe. They
were being persecuted for their
desire to worship freely, in Amer
lea they were free to worship the
wsy they desired. .
I believe in a democracy where
men are free to follow their own
choice In life. You aren't born to
your position. If you are a laborer
It Is because you have so Incentive
to raise yourself. If you are an
executive or the like it Is because
you are willing to work and gain
respect not because your family
had the Job before you.
As our flag symbolises, we are
one nation which cannot be divid
ed, and may it always stay that
way. For as Abraham Lincoln
said, "a house, .divided against It
self can not stand." We have stood
as a democracy, representing the
Ideals of freedom and equality,
for over a hundred and fifty years.
We give liberty and justice to all
our Inhabitants.
We give the right ol a (air
trial by Jury to carry out the due
process o the -law. No one can
unjustly charge us of a crime and
put us In Jail without a trial.
On Bedloe's Island In New York
Habor stands our symbol of de
mocracy, the beautiful Statue of
Liberty. This is a beautiful sculp
tured statue of a lady holding a
torch high above her head. It was
given to the United States by
France to celebrate the one hun
dredth anniversary of American
Independence and to show the
friendship between France and
America. There Is a ligh; kept
burning in the torch at all times
as a symbol of our living democ
racy. Our constitution provides for our
democracy and freedom. It states
that there must be three branches
of government. No one of Uiese can
act without the consent of the
other two branches, this elimin
ates any possibility of dictatorship.
Some countries claim to hsve
a democracy, yet they tell you how
to vote, how to worship, and even
how to raise your children. This Is
no democracy and the people
should be pitied who have to live
under It.
Someone msy ask "what is de
mocracy?" A democracy is a gov
ernment where the supreme power
is in the hands of the people.
There are two kinds, the pure
democracy where the people ac
tually rule, and the representative
democracy where the people rule
themselves Indirectly through the
representatives they elect. The
purpose of a democracy Is the
belief in and practice of social
equality.
Our government Is a representa
tive democracy. For It Is the peo
ple who elect the government of
ficials. It Is not only a cituens
privilege to vole but it is his
le.vpotiMblllty and he should rec
ognise it as such.
We hav a strong and bold na
tion standing for liberty and tru:h j
a nation known as a democracy.
That la why I speak for democ-!

Hello guys and gals' This week
we Will try, something different
since .you haven't been doing
much.
We will, interview a girl which
quite a few of you kids will re
member from grade school. Since
then she has seen many things and
been many places. She is ared-
head by the name of Ethelene
Reed. She is a junior at the
age of 16. This is her story see if
you find it as interesting as this
staff did.
Ethelene left here for' Germany
In the fourth grade In which she
lived for about a year. Some of
the characteristics of Germany
she found Interesting was the
Inalhni bni nanta ihn men nrpnr
Their women dress about the same i t
Senior Stardust
'r -
as they do here.
Then she moved back here for i
another year, Massachusetts for a
year, Klamath again for a year.
Texas for about a year and a
half. Guam was then the next
step. She lived there for 16 months
to the day.
"You would like Guam if you
like tropical weather." Ethelene
attended a Guamanian school tn
which there were 2.200 students
and only 100 were Americans. The
school was a quonset but, and
when It rained the mice ran
loose. Next stop will be Oklahoma.
That's all for this week. Don't
you agree that was an Interesting
story?

DESTINY
By Donna Pfefferle
What is your destiny in life?
To endeavor weakly against death
Or take It In your daily strife.
As - one may take a deepened
breath?
TIME
Time doesn't wait for man.
It strikes when least expected
Like a dusty-weathered clan.
We'll never feel neglected.
The pendulum swings slow,
It's ticking our life away.
When it chimes, it's time to go.
You cannot try to stay.
