Miss Hutchinson will be a guest at the Department of Illinois Veterans of Foreign Wars and auxiliary "Voice of Democracy" banquet in Springfield Feb. 9, when the first place essay winner in the state of Illinois will be named. The following is her essay: My Role In America's Future I can go to the college of my choice. I can read a newspaper article criticizing government functioning, and know it has not been cen­ sored by those it concerns. I can become a doctor, a lawyer, a teacher or a musician if I so choose. I can stare in awe at the intricacy of a nuclear power plant, and then walk next door to a hospital to see the finest in modern technology keeping alive a child that might have elsewhere been dead. So what? Is that not im­ portant to you? Like too many people, most Americans today do not appreciate what they have - until they have not. Just as you will rarely find a depression-weathered old man who will complain about not having enough, so it Would be difficult to locate a person who has suffered the restrictions which we take for granted do not exist, who would complain about the freedom of America. Yet we, her own citizens and the descendants of her own loyal patriots, we do. That, of course, is not to say that no one in this country should ever object; no one is infallible and our govern­ ment is no exception. But we should realize that this very ability to protest, without fear of punishment, is a right which elsewhere might be denied. So should not our com­ plaints be tempered slightly, perhaps a bit of con- structiveness offered instead of hollow criticism? People exist in a me society. We demand our rights, we demand what society owes us, but consider for just one minute, what do we owe society? It's an approach not often used, but one which should be a rule of thumb for today's young Americans. How can I show that I care about our country's freedoms? The question is an easy one for me, because my liberties as an American are intertwined with my goals as a person. America has given me the choice to do as I see fit with my life, a choice not to be taken lightly, and I see the need to repay the debt I owe her . I can show that I care by making certain that our freedoms system works for everyone - my personal goal to attend law school and work in the political field. If I can help keep our system running, as it is today, and improving every minute, the results I will see from seeing people who are pleased with their country will be enough to offset any obstacles. Future Americans need to have some one working for them, and if I can benefit them in this way, I can say I have done what I had to do. Chances are, in another country this would be an impossibility. My role would likely be predetermined or assigned by government or tradition. Because I am able to make the choice, I choose to return the favor and work for my country. Of course, this option is not for everyone. If it was, we would be a nation of all leaders, with no one to lead. But everyone, in his or her own way, must make the Winter Hours Dlniag R< Serving Our Complete Menu Plus!

Still, the hard core cynic may ask, "Why"? Why should I care? And the an­ swer is, because America cares about you. Our country is built upon the values of men and women who, over 200 years ago, ransomed their lives for something they believed in. Why did they do it? Because freedom was important to them, and since that time we've been building our country on those same ideals. America cares enough about us to give us schools, hospitals, help for the needy and one of the highest standards of living in the world. It cares enough to give us a constitution, full of rights, many of which only we share, and the further right to amend this document if need be. , Then by the basic laws of humanity, isn't it necessary that we reciprocate those feelings? Don't we have the responsibility, the duty, to care about America? And not a passive caring, but an active one, like the one she takes in us. It's an idea that hasn't surfaced since John F. Kennedy in his famous words said...."Ask not what your country can do for you, but what vou can do for your country." I know what I can do. I can make America proud of me, because I am proud of her. OPEN HOUSE FOR CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK (Continued from page 1) ' and parents, to visually symbolize the nuclear family within the context of the school community.
