i 9 ' j i 1 Page Fourteen THE MCHENRY plaindealer Thursday, December ISi 1960 UNDER 21 A column' for ieen-agers By Dan Halfigan More than 3,000 entries were received in the "Under 21" Christmas essay contest which ended two weeks ago, and choosing the two winners was a "very difficult job," according to the judges but they did come up with the essays they ' believed covered the subject matter better than all the other entries. The topic was this: "What I Believe the World Needs Most this Christmas." Winner of $25 iri cash in the Class A division for seventh, eighth and ninth grade pupils is Andrzej Koczapski, 11-year-old seventh grade pupil of Chilliwack, B.C., -Canada. ' Martha Milstead, 16, a San Augustine, Texas, high school junior, is the winner of $25 in cash in the Class B division for tenth, eleventh and twelfth grade students. i According to the judges, any of several hundred entries. ; were about as sincere as the entries submitted by Martha : and Andrzej but their essays contained that little some- * thing "extra" that set them apart, Andrzej had this to say: "I believe the world needs friendship more than anything else this Christmas. With more : friendship, we wouldn't worry about atomic bombs and rockets. ; Therefore, we could save money on defenses. If friendship ~ was a widely practiced art. scientists would not have wasted ^ time devising war machines and we would have a better ; civilization. - "Friendship begins in the home. Whfen families get ; along together, it is a start for the community to agree. When : communities are getting along well, it helps the whole country : to unite. If whole countries unite, it is a start toward the unity ; of the word. '•Christmas is Christ's birthday. For a birthday present and for the benefit of the world, why don't we give each other what He came to earth to teach? Christ said, "Love thy neighbour as thyself." When we do this, we are practicing friendship." Martha wrote she believed the world needed understanding more than anything else this Christmas, saying. "The dictionary defines understanding as being a mutual agreement of ideas that settle differences. Today there are many differences which involve and concern all -- the controversy over integration, segregation, disarmament, dating, dictatorship, delinquency, democracy, marriage -- all of these and more scream for recognition and understanding. "It should be remembered that with understanding comes forgiveness, with forgiveness, love; with love, peace; and with peace, happiness. "If understanding was an item to be bought or sold, received or given at Christmas, it would be highly the wish of all to receive it. However, perhaps it is forgotten that the greatest joy comes from giving. "This Christmas, trim the tree with love, light the candles with peace, sing the carols with hope, jingle the bells for pure joy, and wrap your gifts with understanding." Actually all you teen-agers and children who submitted entries are winners in a sense. If nothing else, you put your thoughts down on paper and you started to think. Why not follow up your essays by practicing daily what you wrote? We all know the beginning of anything, whether it be good or bad, doesn t start in a nation's capital, with a law-making bo^', a ruler, a television show, on an athletic field or elsewhere. Whatever you want to do or be, whatever you want your country and the world to do or be, starts in the home. ~If you kids practice daily what you preach, some of that •dove, that kindness, that peace and that understanding will . sub off on other members of your families, on your neighbors K^nd friends, on strangers and will eventually be carried TTtnroughout the world. Try this approach. Thanks to all of you who submitted entries, all of £Which were thoroughly read and considered. COUtiT BRIEFS A number of cases were heard in J. P. court Wednesday evening. LeRoy J.
