Speech Winner;
In World Peace
Recent Contest
Editor’s Note: Following ap
. pears the prise winning speech
made by Leigh Dobson in the
annual World Peace Speaking ■
Program held recently at the
\ Edenton Junior-Senior High
School.
_ ' I
Ip this 20th century, the mainte
nance of peace has become the
most critical problem of civilisa
tion, No country can look, to the
future, no enterprise can plan its
development, no individual can con
sider his life or his work without
taking into account the implica
tions of another world war. ;
For three thousand years of rev,
corded, history men have fougnt
and killed each other, and,' finally,
in this twentieth century, it has be
come possible for mankind to des
troy itself completely. Subject to
disease, fire, flood, earthquake, and
starvation, man’s greatest threat
is not natural disaster but his abil
ity to wage totally destructive war
In the brief span of the scien
tific era, military attack Weapons
have reached a level of effective
ness that makes possible i.only a
partial defense. The area bomb
ing of. World War II was merely
a \ prelude. Atomic bombs and
guided missiles were in thetf in
fancy when the war ended. The
instruments of biological warfare
were laboratory tested but not
used in the field. /Submarine and
jet qirplnne development were ap
proaching the interesting stage
when hostilities ceased.
More efficient atomic and hy
drogen bombs are now in produc
tion, bombs which can bring great
er devastation than was inflicted
on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Roc
kets and guided missiles can be
placed on targets hundreds of miles
distant. The submarine range is
almost unlimited. A war fought
with such weapons might not des
troy civilization, but it would des
•tw*r mo »t of us and the life wo V
know. *
The present armament race and (
the cold war are the results of the j
mutual distrust of sovereign na- (
turns'. If there is a military force
in eyistence anywhere in the world,
it breeds opposing armies in every
comer. The defeat of the Axis
had little effect on world-wide
military preparation. No major
power felt free to disarm in a
world filled with trained Soldiers \
and airmen. In the years since the
end of the war, military considera- '
tions have become increasingly im
portant and in many places World
War 111 has been accepted as in
evitable. ‘
Peace is an abstract word, For I
the purposes of this spee'ch, I de- j
fine peace as a state in which prob
lems exist, but exist in an absence
of tensions so explosive. afid un
manageable that World War 111 is
‘ a hovering and .active threat.

of his father. Abraham, and his
son, Jacob. However, he was a
man of superior ability, of patiehce
and perseverance, and probably
would have loomed larger if he had
not been so closely associated with
his greater predecessor. While
Abraham and Jacob acted imortant
holes in Hebrew history, the role
played by Isaac was just as note
worthy.
We do not know a great deal
about Isaac’s childhood. All that
we have is contained in two chap
ters of Genesis, but this is enough
to understand much of his disposi-
