Building Citizenship
(Norma Key, Ellerbe School)
I am a student in an American High School. I am obligated
,to my parents whose sacrifices have given me the foundation up
on which I am building, to my school which is offering me the
opportunity to develop my natural pliers, to my community
Which makes possible the educational advantages, to my country
which gives me freedom and to :
my own future as an individual
and citizen.
What am I doing to prove my
self worthy of these advan
tages? My goal is to become a
good citizen. Just exactly what
is citizenship? Citizenship may
be defined as a membership in
co-operating groups family,
neighborhood, community,
town, city, county, state, na
tion, and world. Membership in
one of these groups is not alto-
I
My ideals will form character
and habits that will remain
throughout my life. I should
realize the influence that they
carr in my home, in my church,
in the lives of my friends
then strive to make them
rul. I must not be dis
courage if sometimes I fail, be-
caus they would not be ideals
if they did not test my strength.
must hold fast for the sake
and
and
help
are born in them.
always seek to do for each
member something which he
cannot do for himself.
My membership is in my
school. To make my member
ship worthwhile I must realize
my own qualities. What I am,
measure my worth to myself
and to others. Not money,
fame, or power but sincerity,
joy in life, intelligence, friend
liness, resourcefulness, genero
sity, and nobility, of conduct
should be the markings of every
true citizen. In order to attain
these qualities I must endeavor
to work daily at personal im
provement. I must begin where I am. My
home life, my wealth or lack of
wealth, the influence of my
neighborhood and friends are
to be considered. The real
Jmilding of my life will be the
result of positive thinking and
constructive action, so my life
must be planned.
A planless life is like a sail
boat without a breeze to carry
it on its course. I must con
sider what I desire to accom
plish in life and then work out
a plan to go by. I must give
sustained attention to spiritual
development, occupation and
avocation. I must overcome
weakness and study the lives of
great citizens.
I know that in order to be
come a good citizen I must keep
fit at all times. A weak or di
seased body is not the home of
a strong mind. The practice of
good mental and physical habits
is very necessary.
The part that a good citizen
plays among his fellow citizens
is determined by the skills of
the hand, mind and body. Can
I walk with ease and poise?
Drive a car? Take shorthand?
Make a speech? These are all
skills. If I am to become a good
citizen, 1 just Choose one skill
after another and wfork at each
until excellence is acquired.
At this point my membership in
school should be of great bene
fit. Good citizens should attach
importance to their families.
People who do well within their
families are likely to succeed
at other under-takings. I must
learn goodwill, loyalty, co-operation
and I must learn to
make important decisions.
These are the roots of a demo
cratic government and they all
begin in the home.
A good citizen makes worthy
friends. I must choose friends
for what they are ; not for what
they have. I should be loyal
to them and make myself worthy
of their friendship.
I cannot begin too early to ob
serve how the world's work is
done and think of my relation
to it. What can I do that would
be of benefit to others? I should
use my ingenuity and earn my
own way.
In whatever I undertake I
must strive to be happy. Thru'
happiness I can accomplish
more work, mean more to my
family, and have a greater in
fluence on others. Each day
should be full of kindness and
good deeds toward others.
It is important to build high
Ideals and hold fast to them.
ing.
grows
shou
ed. I should learn to estimate
and criticize my own work. Pood
for my mind should be selected
as carefully as food for my
body, because my mind is the
master key to a good life. One
of the first marks of a citizen
is an appreciation of the worth,
dignity, power and usefulness
of his own mind.
T live in a democracy. My
forefathers amid sacrifices laid.;
the foundation for this great
nation with its government bas
ed on the fact "that all men are
created equal and are endowed
by their Creator with certain
inalienable Rights; that among
these are Life, Liberty and the
pursuit of Happiness." Each
succeeding generation has held
to this idea of democracy
George Washington, Thomas
Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin,
Abraham Lincoln with the "Get
tysburg Address" all are mile
tones in our age of history.
Through loyalty this democracy
has been obtained and through
loyalty this democracy must be
preserved. The worst war in
history has been completed.
Democracy must now take its
stand.
A democracy is built of loyal
citizens farmers, mechanics, !
lawyers, all colors and creeds.
Certainly the high schools have
a great part in training citizens
to continue the building of
this democracy. Good citizens
will
carry out the qualities of a good
citizen. I am more determined
to work with undying love for
my home, school, community
and country. I must always re
member that only persons pos
sessing and using these quali
ties are truly worthy of being
American Citizens.

May Warn of Disordered
Kidney Action
Modern life with its hurry and worry,
irregular habits, improper eating and
drinking its risk of exposure and infec
tion throws heavy strain on the work
of the kidneys. They are apt to become
over-taxed and fail to filter excess acid
and other impurities from the life-giving
blood.
You may suffer nagging backache,
headache, dizziness, getting up nights,
leg pains, swelling feel constantly
tired, nervous, all worn out. Other signs
of kidney or bladder disorder are some
times burning, scanty or too frequent
urination.
Try Doan'B Pills. Doan's help the
kidneys to pass off harmful excess body
waste. They have had more than half a
century of public approval. Are recom

NOT ON YOUR TINTYPE !
Grandma looks calm and collected as she poses for posterity, but
she wasn't not on your tintype! Getting her family ready for
this picture was a long, weary business.
The day this photo was snapped, Grandma was up at dawn,
wrestling with the old wood stove, coaxing the kettle to boil,
cooking breakfast. And the day before, she ironed the mountain
of starched clothes that had needed such hard scrubbing. The day
before that
But that was Grandma's life. She didn't know any other kind.
Her way of housekeeping took lots of time, lots of elbow grease.
In Grandma's gayest dreams she never imagined the time would
come when a woman would have dozens of electric servants daily
for the cost of a bar of soap.
Electric service ready and willing around the clock and
calendar -is a modern miracle Grandma missed by being born
too soon. But electrical dependability (and cheapness, too) didn't
happen by accident. Not on your tintype ! They're the result of
plenty of hard work and practical experience on the part of your;
neighbors who operate this company.
