Training offered in
solving public problems
WEST CHESTER, Pa. - A Public Affairs Leadership
Workshop is being offered by the Cooperative Extension
Services of Chester and Lancaster counties.
In our rapidly changing areas of Southeast Pennsylvania,
effective leaadership and citizen involvement in public af
fairs is a big factor in creating and maintaining wholesome
communities. It requires that concerned individuals and
community leaders develop skills in leadership and a
knowledge of how to help prevent and solve public problems.
That is why we are offering this workshop, states Glenn A.
Shirk, Chester County agricultural agent.
The Workshop starts with an all-day session on Saturday,
January 22, 1977, and it continues for nine consecutive
Thursday evenings, Jan. 27 thru Mar. 24. The first two
sessions will be conducted at the Thorndale United Methodist
Church, and the remaining sessions at the Octorara Area
High School, Atglen.
It consists of about 40 hours of instruction, group discussion
and role playing. The sessions will be conducted by faculty
from Penn State University and other area colleges and
universities, plus representatives of government and
organizations. There will be ample opportunity for par
ticipants to share their experiences and to focus on specific
public issues that concern them directly. The event is
coordinated with an optional State Government Seminar,
that course participants may attend Mar. 27-29.'
The Workshop is limited to 40 persons on a first come basis.
A participant fee of $35.00 will be collected to cover workshop
costs including meals, materials, room rentals and in
structors charges. Application deadline is January 12.

rights of the state. And
finally, they lit a fourth
candle to show that govern
ment should not do for the
people those things which the
people should do for them
selves.
As the four candles of
freedom burned brightly, the
young nation prospered; and
as the nation prospered, the
people grew fat; and as they
grew fat, they got lazy. When
they got lazy, they asked the
government to do things for
them which they had been
doing for themselves, and
one of the candles went out.
As government became
bigger, the people became
littier and the government
became all-important and
the rights of the individual
were sacrificed to the all
important rights of the state.
Then the second candle went
out. In their apathy and
indifference they asked
someone else to govern
them, and someone else did,
and the third candle went
out.
In the end, more than they
wanted freedom, they
wanted security, a com
fortable life, and they lost
all, comfort and security and
freedom. For you see, the
freedom they wanted most
was freedom from
responsibility - and Athens
ceased to be free, and the
Athenians of nearly two
thousand years ago were
never free again. The last
candle was extinguished.
To be an American is in
deed a privilege. To live free,
however, is a responsibility.
Sure, we can stand back
and let the other guy do it
We can even let Uncle Sam
take care of us, make our
decisions, and plot our
fntrr®
But that’s not the spirit of
1776.
That’s not the American
Dream.
The American dream is
epitomized by those farmers
who fired the shot at Con
cord, by Patrick Henry, by
Jefferson and Lincoln, and
by generations of American
citizens, natural born and
naturalized.
It was the American
dream that caused our
forefathers to push across
this vast, new and unknown
land, establishing farms and
ranches, .developing in
dustry, and building towns
and cities. It was the
pioneering spirit of people
willing to work, of people
willing to take a chance, of
people willing to put their
hand to the plow and their
shoulder to the wheel that
built this nation and made it
great.
That’s the essence of the
American dream.
That’s the American
spirit.
In 1976, it is that same
spirit that must keep her
great, for this generation
and generations to come.
