LONG associated in the work of the Derry Township Welfare
Board, President John R. Zoll and Mrs. Robert W. Young look over
historical papers discovered when the old Post Office Building was
razed. Among other things, the papers brought a touch of nostalgia to
the days when Mr. Zoll served as Secretary of the School Board and
Mrs. Young was a new teacher in the local school system.

Why I, Believe In America
By Kay Hollingsworth
To fully explain why one believes in one person or thing one should
readily understand the meaning of such. In finding the meaning of
America we realize we are dealing with a broad area of information.
Perhaps the easiest definition for America could be found in its geo-graphic
location, but one doesn't search for an easy meaning, but a
true, representative one. In our case we want a three dimensional def-inition
dealing with all facets — past, present, and future. In our
frutile search we finally come to realize the best meaning of America
can only come from those who have benefitted by it. At last we find the
junction or core for which we were looking. Only in the statements of
its citizens do we find America itself.
"Land of the free and the home of the brave." says one. "Brother-hood
from sea to shining sea," sings another. "Refuge for your tired,
your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free," echoes still
another. "Land of opportunity, land of wide open spaces, land flow-ing
with milk and honey, melting pot of the world, and one nation,
under God, indivisible ... with liberty and justice for all," can be
heard from all sides. Now and only now can I proceed in explaining
why I believe in America, for now I know America.
Belief in something requires the strongest trust or faith, and right-ly
so, for my belief in my country stands second only to my faith in
God. The reason for my firm belief in America is that America in turn
believes in God, its people, and itself.
First, America believes in God. This is proved through statistics
which show the United States to have more Christians and more
Christian churches than any other country in the world. Also the
Bible is and has been the best selling book in this country for several
years. Finally a look into our history books will disclose victories at
war, on the frontier, and in hospitals that could only have been won
with such a power as God on our side.
Secondly, America believes in its people. A democratic govern-ment,
eternal hope for peace; abundant resources, and a widespread
national unity, all are living symbols given to us, her citizens, by our
nation America.
Lastly, America believes in itself. It is totally impoisible for any
one person or thing to go through strife and turmoil, war and rebel-lion,
and come out victorious without having confidence in oneself.
America is no different and thus if all else should fail, an American
in exile would still hold that quality which saw it through before, a
faith in what it stands for.
As I am finished with my explanation for why I believe in America,
I can only say that if our nation ever saw defeat it could mean the loss
of our materialistic associations for the ideal and power behind it
could never be destroyed. but would always await the opportunity to
burst forth once more and bloom In its greatest glory.
