The meeting was held at Shep ard High School. . Dr. Grady Davis said that the senior citizen is living an abun dant life and portraying the good ness of God as they go to an fro. He spoke of the ^hanging world and that folk are beginning to realize that they must be alert. Dr. Davis discussed the vital role of the politician and how neces sary it is to know that Christians Priscilla Berdk Winner World Peace Contest; Gets A Trip Priscilla Bercik, 15-year-old 10th grade student at Wakelon High School, was adjudged win ner of the World Peace speech con test held at the school recently. Miss Bercik was one of six stu dents competing in the contest at Wakelon. Runner-up was Betsy Alford, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Alford of East Sycamore Street.

Miss Bercik’s speech, in full be low, war delivered by the strik ingly pretty and intelligent young lady Wednesday night to members of Zebulon Rotary Club. In season and out of season men have been taught to hate and de stroy their brother man. At Val ley Forge, Gettysburg, in Flanders Field and on Normandy ... at Ba taan and Iwo Jima, on Heart break Ridge in Korea the bodies of thousands of men now rot in the soil of the earth and to what purpose? Listen to the words of Studdert Kennesy from the mud-filled, blood - spattered trenches of France during World War I: Waste of muscle, waste of Priscilla Bercik brain; Waste of patience, waste of pain. Waste of blood and waste of health; Waste of beauty, waste of wealth. Waste of blood and waste of tears; Waste of youth’s most pre cious years. Waste of ways the saints have trod; Waste of glory, waste of God—War! Because of the calamity of war, no person here can doubt that the member countries of the United Nations are looking for methods i by way of which the world can be ! refashioned into a design for i peace living. Therefore, it is fit ; ting and proper this year that our thoughts are aligned and related i to the United Nations and its role in the Space Age. To avoid misunderstanding over a few essential terms, the follow ing interpretation is used in my presentation today. First, the United Nations is a league of countries bound together by the principles of peace. None of the leaders or the nations they represent propose to automatically banish conflict, but to devise peaceful means of coping with problems of various human activi ties and in so doing increase the mutual desire of all the peoples of the world to live without war. Secondly, the Space Age refers to our present day, the era we en tered when the first artificial sat ellite was hurled into space in Oc tober, 1957. Scientists and states men shall continue to seek answers to the perplexing problems of the Space age. Meanwhile, during this quest for the unraveling of the mysteries of outer space we are positive of one principle: This strange land is potentially the greatest frontier remaining to be conquered and the instruments by which it will be explored can be utilized peacefully or destructively. Men today shall decide which course shall be followed. Third, what is the role of the (Continued on Page 5) are supposed to find a way of making conditions better by put ting the right persons in office. He emphatically said registered persons should get out and vote. He outlined the spiritual aspect for becoming better aging citizens. 1, Do away with the sour attitude and cultivate the sweet in order to fulfill the last quarter of life; 2, be optimistic, do away with self pity, learn to get along with mem bers of the family; 3, face reality. To enrich your life, he said: have fun, enjoy pleasant surround ings; 2, give service, help some- i body; 3, work, be active in order to ' grow mentally and spiritually; 4, be strong and vigorous in mind; 5, praise God, the key to the whole situation. He urged senior citizens to link fully with youth for strength in various ways. The closing quar ter of life, he said, can be a worthwhile era. Following the meeting, refresh ments were served. The Aging Group organization was organized in December. To Hear Talk On Summer Annuals Carmen Flowers Garden Club will hold its last meeting of the year Monday night at 8 o’clock.
