By Connie Sue Rossok

To me, my country is truly a symbol of freedom and democracy. I believe the United States is symbolic of leadership throughout the world. The American people of the United States are very loyal to their country and proud to be a citizen of such a distinguished nation. Would the American people be as loyal and proud as they are of the United States if it was not such a great land ? We have the freedom of speech, freedom of religion and freedom of the press, all vital to American citizens.

The leaders of our country have set up a democratic document of the rules of our government. It is the Constitution. All during the history of our nation, since the Declaration of Independence was signed, American citizens have been fighting to preserve their rights set up in the Constitution. To me, my country has come a long way since then. We have made much progress, not only in the way of government, but in the fields of science, education, and industrial business. I am very proud of my country when I think of the food money and medical assistance we have sent other countries. This proves our interest in our 20 Years Ago Mrs. Laurel Turk was hostess to the Century ClubJ. Miss Sarah Jane Wildman, DePauw senior, was the new editor of The DePauw, official campus newspaper.

fellowman. We have the Peace Corps and the ship, the SS HOPE. We not only have regard for ourselves, but all mankind. We also have our educational goals which we are striving for to be proud of. The United States takes great interest in the educational status of the young people of America. Public taxes are paid to provide money for the schools. Many wealthy people and large businesses give donations to help schools and students too poor to pay the fees. Many scholarships are also given to gifted pupils to help them pay their tuitions to the school of their choice. The United States has done much to help aid schools for better education for the young of America. What My Country Means to Me is a lot to say. What I feel toward the United States is nearly more than I could ever write on this paper. I am proud of America. I feel loyal toward the nation. And I am sure-ev-ery other American citizen feels the same as I. I am glad to have this opportunity to express my feelings toward my country.

The plans are near completion and the specifications will be written so bids can be taken this spring. Chester Coan reported that all the businesses which would lose their homes through the new’ parking lot had been approached concerning housing and the new’ facilities. Some had made their final arrangements, and the remainder that are considering the building are to make the final decision this W’eek. Businesses being displaced have first choice at the new building, but if they do not take it, Mr. Coan indicated that there was quite a waiting list so that there would be no problem in rentir. t the new rooms. Richard Sunkel gave the financial report which outlined in detail the expenses of incorporation and organization. These expenses w-ere more than offset by miscellaneous income to the corporation so there is a slight surplus above the cash which has been made in for (Continued on Page 6)
