A Message For The Potential Drop-Out
“We have entered an age in which education is not just a luxury permitting men an advantage over others. It has become a necessity without which a person is defenseless in this complex, industrialized society . . . We have truly entered the century of the educated man.” 1 Many young Americans are answering the challenge to become better educated. Last year. 18 percent of our young people between the ages ot 16-21 were high school dropouts, as compared with 25 percent in 196<». But this r< <lu< tion i- n<d enough. Ihe frightening fact remains wattoo many teenagers still consider education a ury. At the current dropout rate, by 1975 there will lie 32 million adults in the labor force without a high school education —32 million people who will be unqualified for most of tomorrow’s jobs. To stave off this tide of unskilled workers in a booming economy* President Johnson has directed the President’s Council on Youth Opportunity to launch the 1967 Stay-in-School Campaign. Every citizen, young and old, parent and teenager. is being asked to support this drive to assure that all who still have a chance for a decent education stay in school and get it. . . A young person today, dissatisfied with schixd and anxious to get out and
Why Wear Belts?
Most men wear belts to hold up their trousers, while women wear belts to add shape to their dresses. Yet, when it comes to wearing a belt tu save a life, men don’t want to be held in place, and women don’t want to mess up their dress. This is a bit ridiculous when you consider that more than 40 percent of the people killed on Hoosier highways might have survived had they been wearing seat

work for the money he wants, is heading down a dead-end street if he pursues his dreams without a high school diploma. He finds out too late that the job he longed for will be at best a dull, dirty one with little opportunity for advancement. Or. the jobless rate of 13 percent for school dropouts suddenly becomes very real to him as he discovers that he doesn’t have the ticket he needs to get through the employers’ doors. The money he needs to buy the car. the clothes, or the stereo he wanted so badly just isn't there. He will make less money than those who graduated when he does find a job and his future in any job is limited. In short, a dropout learns quickly and cruelly what Lyndon Johnson meant when he called education a necessity. For many of these people, there isstill time. They can go back and finish high school. For others, it is too late. Those who are still in school and considering dropping out face one of the most crucial decisions of their lives. It is up to all of us to follow the President in urging them to go back to school this fall and stay there until they have at least a high school diploma. The education they get now charts the course not only for their individual lives but for the welfare of our country in the coming decades.

When a thin piece of webbing across your lap might save your life, it’s foolish to let it stay on the seat unused. Is your life worth a messy crease in your trousers or dress. —Danville Gazette
