THE NEW FREEDOM

A necessary change in the pro-
gram for the Community Meet
ing at Askov on Saturday, Feb.
22nd:
Mr. Calderwood is unable to
come.
Prof. c. F. Lindsey will speak
on THE New Freedom"
Last Monday | learned that
Mr.. Calderwood was unable to
fill his appointment of speaking
at our Community Meeting on
Washington's birthday. because
he was delayed in coming back
from an extended visit in the
East.
Being in Minneapolis at the
time, went straight to the Uni
versity Extension Division for
the purpose of trying to secure
another speaker. 1t took some
time, but finally | had the good
fortune of finding a professor,
who was willing to take a trip
to Askov and help us celebrate
Washington's birthday. and who,
according to everything learned
is able to do it in a way fully
worthy Of the freedom secured
for this country mainly by
George Washington.
The professor | mention is
Charles F. Lindsey of the De-
partment of Rhetoric and Public
Speaking at the University of
Minnesota. He will deliver a
lecture on the subject The New
Freedom" in which he, for in
stance, will explain some prac.
teal problems of the present day
that are before the American
people, and show that we. in
spite Of many obstacles. are pro-
crossing toward a higher level
of culture and civilization thru.
out the world. Prof. Lindsey is
we'll aware Of the fact that while
the war has been ended in vic.
tory for democracy. another war
is still to be waged the war for
founding all social relations on
righteousness. This war must
be fought thru educating and en-.
tightening the people so that
every voter has an opinion OF
his or her own. and is eager to
vote for it.
