that attitude describes Tulia. Note the attendance
at a political meeting! No one on the political side-
lines has any right to criticize anything that happens
In Washington or Austin.
VHIS NEW BLOOD varies in philosophy according
to its environment and age in which it lives.
A wholesome class of new voters were those
who had childhood memories of the depression of
the 1930s. They contributed much to the stability of
aur electorate’
Then there were those whose first memories
were of World War II, and its prosperity. Unlike
the earlier class, they took prosperity for granted.
They could not imagine a society in which people
wanted jobs but could not find employment, where
everybody never enjoyed such “necessities” as
new cars, modem homes with all the new gadgets,
television sets, college training.
(WHOSE WHO WILL CAST their first votes in the
I next Presidential election were only a year old
hack in 19.').' when the popular campaign slogan
was “Prosperity Isn’t Everything.” They do not
remember either election of Eisenhower.
They were nine years old during the 1960 cam-
paign. They may have worn Kennedy or Nixon
Buttons, perhaps they helped distribute campaign
literature for a price, but the issues probably were
obscure.
AUITE SIGNIFICANTLY, this generation reach-
U ed the age of accountability just about the
time we entered the longest period of continuous
prosperity known to man
Neither depression" or even “recession" was
In their vocabularies.
They left childhood and entered adolescence
acver knowing the meaning of unemployment, sac-
rifice, hunger.
Yet, despite this, they are the unhappy genera-
tion, the di-gu-ted generation, the disillusioned
generation They don’t like the world that has been
given them. They are determined to remake the
world in one generation
Many have convinced themselves that past gen-
erations have made a miserable failure, that each
las merely perpetuated the old wrongs and in *
Justices.
yO GENERATION either wants nor accepts ad-
■ W vice; nevertheless, we would tread on thin
Ice and address a few observations to this new gen-
eration to In- accepted or ignored.
First, see yourself in the context of history.
You are not the first generation that ever lived,
neither will you be the last. You are not the first
generation to discover failures of the past, and you
will not be the last. Chances are your children and
grandchildren will level the same charges at you
that you are levelling at your forebears.
Secondly, discover your mission in the world.
Yours is to take the heritage of the ages which you
have inherited and pass it on to the next generation
with interest Don’t underestimate the worth of your
Inheritance You have had handed to you on a sil-
ver platter the combined genius of Thomas A F.di-
ton, Henry Ford, Eli Whitney, all the scholars and
scientists of the ages You have had handed to you
the accomplishments of the medical profession so
that you don’t have to die early from smallpox,
diphtheria, polio nr ttpp* laHrtti*.
What you’ve inherited from the past isn’t all
bad. despite your protests
You have had handed to you the knowledge
which has made possible* space travel. You have
had handed to you the miracles of the computer
You are entoying the most comfortable and the
best standard of living known to the universe
But if you accept all these scientific goodies
and fail to add your bit to the scientific knowledge
of the* world, you have failed to live up to your
heritage.
Sympathy is often extended to you because your
share of the federal debt is about $1,700. Consider-
ing that most of this was used to buy the freedom
you now enjoy, we say you got a bargain!
| EARN THE LESSON that we don’t advance by
k discarding the past, starting all over with ev-
ery new* generation Bather we advance by taking
the past, which is the best we have, and keeping it
until we discover something better. Then, and only
then, do we discard the not so good for the good,
the good for the better, the belter for the best.
One of the greatest inefficiencies of a genera-
tion is spending time learning the same old lessons
for ourselves that were previously learned by an-
other generation Your parents made this mistake
and so are you!
Parents, with all their limitations, are seldom
the old fogies jou believe them to be. Watch your
step or you’ll pa-s on to your children a worse world
than was passed to you.
mOJHILE ONE EXTREME is complete abandon-
ww ment of the past, tin* other extreme, just
as undesirable, is insistence on holding on to the
past, regardless, while rejecting anything new. The
old and the new are amoral. Value is based on qual-
ity, not on age.
ME FAT1ENTI ROME wasn’t built in a day. En-
D thusiasm and ambition are noble qualities
. . but accept the reality that neither you nor
any other generation will remake the world in a
generation If you have superior qualities, you may
do as well as the past generation because most of
its progress came from superior people. If you are
only average, you probably won’t contribute enough
to pay rent on the space you occupied while you
passed by.
And as we watch some of you at Berkeley. . .
and now at Harvard. . .we doubt that you will
even make average.
■I REALISTIC! SO LONG as this planet is inhnb-
D ited by members of the Adamic race don’t
expect too much from frail humanity, beset with
greed, selfishness, hale, intolerance, bigotry.
Don’t expect mankind to usher in the millen -
nium.
VHE GEORGE WALLACE movement, by what-
I ever name, has been serving notice lately that
while it mav be down, it is far from out.
While the hero broods in Birmingham, his shock
troops of Bin hers, Citizens Councilors, Minutemcn
and assorted other rightwingers are busy with the
mechanics of setting up a legitimate third party
Two rival Wallace organizations are struggling
for power in California. William Shearer of !,os
Angeles, leader of one Wallace faction, said of the
other faction, ”1 don’t think some* of them are too
savory characters.”
Retorted Robert Walters, who heads the other
faction, “The Shearer group has ‘a damn high
nut content’ ”
Observers on the outside* say both Shearer
and Walters are probably right.
MAVORITE PIECE OF literature pul out by the
■ Wallace followers is "The Pro - Communist
Administration of Richard Nixon”
The* Wallace ,-tlength i*- expected to grow be-
tween now and 1972 as many Southern conserva-
tives who sup(«irted Nixon, disillusioned in Nixon
who apparently is not carrying out his promises
to Strom Thurmond, swing to Wallace
