Guard Tour free Heritage I
* it te graduation time in Ocean City and all over the
*Utt)rt CotoiWhcetttent speakers art assuring graduates "the
'future is yours" and advising them, truthfully enough, of
* all the new opportunities opening up in our ever-expanding
t economy.
i But in such a changing and threatening world as w(f
have today, graduation orators would do American youth a »
er stevfce, it seerhs to Us, 'if they emphasised the theme ri
risyouxs."
it has given us the great American heritage
„. which there is no future for free young men and
* women. TWe past i» the foundation upon wljich present-day
•youth must erect theirs and the country's future. The past
, a gaVe Us the revolutionary principle that all men are created
; equal and endowed by God with the "unalicnable" right to
1 life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness
' " ' That'ttinciple set forth on July 4, 1776, is today the
i, { target of Communist imperialism and conspiracy in all cor-
( « ntirs of the globe. If the men in the Kremlin can destroy it,
•} | they win h$ye no worry about future Americans thwarting
*,' T Bed schemes for world domination,
•i * i . As Oce^n City's IVJernorial Day speaker so well phrased
"} » it,"lf we as a nation grow weak, or soften, or are lulled into
' i. false sen#e W, security, then we are facing Certain catas-
--'-*-- and will have broken faith with the past and the
. Mr sacrificed their all for this nation.
Jt is a grave responsibility of those directing American
ith today to 1 emphasize that then- heritage is menaced
om.within, and that they must effectively combat all forms
" d*®** u $& coifntry is to survive. It is not ade-
Q. youth "the future is yours" unless we inspire
em with a zeal to crush those who would destroy their
ritage. -
, Communist plotting and spying is only one threat.
t are'fothers: Corruption in government; denial of the
) i • Iftople's right to know about their business; use of the law
r;restrictitne right 6f open! discussion or even the right to
irk; creating jHtfty autocracies at all levels of government
•deprive pisople-of self-determination; squandering the
pie's resources and wealth.
If America's"libc#al education has given anything to the
1$ of graduates this spring, it should be the capacity
, to plan and to use their lives in the form and tradi-
i'f J ten tjffif. have'made this the most productive and freedom-
pp.* :%ingVnaabh.oii earth.
E'^r f ,ThoSe(ntinel.Lfedger congratulates the Ocean City High
"ihool Seniors who have earned their diplomas by 12 years
[•diligent effort. Theirs cannot help but be a sense of real
that as they move out into the world next
e not only a courageous view of the future
ickward look at the past.
^Communities Closer
", On flje subject of schools, it should be mentioned that
flrecerit- news items in The Billows, high school
.have had unusual significance to tho community as a
Ohe to)d-about Ocean City students attending the Jun-
ior From at Pleasafltville High, where they were guests of
|V t|n) P«TA. Another referred to visits of Pleasantvttle groups
to the local school for dances of assembly programs. StiU
another had to do with pupils of the "sending districts"—
pwood, Upper Township, Sea Isle City, etc, — spenduig
of |a ,day here to get acquainted with the high school
pfe attending classes next year.
y- PccaUse our schools are building a closer and more

to conclude that Ocean City is thereby benefitting.
wtjfo send their children here to school also become

'the resort more frequently.
The trietidlier relationship with Pleasantville is a par-
arly gratifying one, for many of us stilt can remember
old days when misguided football loyalties on both sides
.,-« resulted in hoodlumism, vandalism, name calling and
even near-riots involving followers of the two schools,

The State Chamber base Its oppo-
sidon on:

ut New Jersey taxpayers lose mon.

unable to Jllocate funds to educa
tion because they have given prefer
eiitldl treatment to some taxpayers
and Juio (,'cnerally followed un-
sound financial practices Other
states should not be asked to subsi-

"Data published In lost year's re-
port on the hearings before tht Sub-
committee on Education of the Sen.
ate Committee on Labor and Public
Welfare indicate that Now Jersey
would fare no differently under a
school construction aid bill, 1 ? the
State Chamber said. "New Jersey
taxpayers would lose money under
all of the four aid 'plans then, under
consideration by the Senate Subesm-
mlttee. At best, New Jersey taxpay-
er would pay $129 for each il of
Federal aid received and, at went,
we would pay $1.68 per dollcr of
Federal old."
