'SllSllsllfSiSi MS X. Thursday. November 4.1954 Youth America's Richest Heritage THE McSSENHY PLAINDEALER Page Nina (An Editorial) Americans as a people like to "count their blessings," -to take inventory from time to time of the riches that make this nation great. Often, however, while adding up the coal snd wheat, automobiles and homes -- the material wealth of the nation -- we for get to take stock of the spirit that maic^s America the great ^ nation it is, the spirit that has been passed down from person to person since the nation began. Sponsored (by the National Council of Catholic Youth, during the week of Oct. 31 to Nov. 7, • six million Amei ican young men and women call our attention to oyr most important national treasure -- the American«spir it that is transfused from generation to generation. The young people oif all races and religions observe National Catholic Youth Week. With the youthful talent of hitting the nail on the head, the young people adopted a theme they hope to impress on the na- ,, tion: "Youth -- America's Richest Heritage." In publicizing and discussing that theme during National Catholic Youth Week they hope to remind all Americans that the nation's future depends on how well its youth will carry forward the spiritual strength that is America. . For one week the young people ask America to turn its eyes from the juvenile delinquency headlines, from sensational stories of narcotics, gangs and crimes, to the millions of young Americans who are living the normal, ambitious lives of "junior grade" good citizens. They want to reassure us that youth is preparing to take over the tremendous spiritual tasks that will keep America strong. Finally, they want to point out that we need not fear delinquency and corruption among young people if they are provided with a firm moral and spiritual training by adults who wish to pass' on to new generations the real values by "which Americans have lived since the days of the Founding Fathers. Youth like th®» six million who will observe Catholic Youth Week with spiritual, athletic and cultural exercises deserve to be heard. Such youth are indeed "America's Richest Heritage."
