Patriotism by Force

Last Thursdays papers carried pictures Of
carrying American flag, of crowd milling before
a doorway, and a filled with wreckage.
Newspapers reported that in the eighboring town
of Rockville members of religious sect, Jehovah's
Witnesses, were holding meeting. Some people out
side, having read previous accounts of refusals to
salute the American flag by Jehovah's Witnesses de-
of those in the meeting. crowd gathered and
flag was produced. Two police sent up to de-
mand flag salute from those attending the services
Upon refusal the crowd surged into the meeting,
suited and threatened those present, smashed rni-
ture and ordered several Jehovah's tnesses out Of
town. None Of the attacking mob arrested.
This--in America.
We know nothing about the beliefs Of Jehovah's
witnesses, but probably would disagree pretty
thoroughly with their ideas. We think their preju-
dice against flag sa1utes silly. They probably feel
that some of our relig ious ritual is silly, too.
We do know ths--that our forefathers came to
this new Land to escape Erope's tyrannies. Here
they and fought and founded a haven of refuge
and freedom, where they could worshp and talk, and
think the way they pleased It a glorious idea,
and men have fought vaHant1y to preserve it. But
that long ago.
Now the newspapers glorfy mob leaders, the poll ce

scare and newfound patriotism which depends
more upon flag salutes than upon serving

If we discard ideals, If surrender liber-

paredness is useless, b1undertng waster, for 1t
will no longer matter whether under Htler's
tyranny not. The Nazis called themselves patriots
and they demanded flag salutes with the threat of
mob violence too.

The main charges 1evelled at our high school In
c1ude inability to cope with disciplinary problems
insufficient education and training Of the teachers

school program with that of Greebelt Elementary
School. The elementary school operates along "pro-

drawn praise and enthusiasm in its success even
though it is hampered by Marland's school
period against other statest eight-year school

We have not yet had time to thoroughly digest the

many Of the patriotic Americans who direct pro-
note these mob know that the Jehovah
Witnesses welcome the prosecutions? These CULTS
like to be Jailed and beaten; such is tribute
their faithfu1ness to the Lord Jehovah. Biblical
parallels of prosecutions endured for the sake of
belief abound in the sacred Scriptures, and these
folk glory in the fact that the 1onged and hoped
day Of ti bulation has arrived. Scripture is being
fulfilled. The "time is at hand, etc., Go" Natur-

SLIPPERY MENACE

The wet, slippery, unprotected floors of the
swimming pool and showers are menace to all who
frequent the pool.
Since the season started, there have been a mum
Der of people who have fallen and injured themselves.
Although most of the injuries have been Light,
there is person who was hurt badly enough to
necessitate disqualification. The possibility of
broken bones fractured skulls, and fatalities
is great to warrant Immediate correction of
this condi ton.
Covering the floors with rubber mats would enable
the swimmers to maintain their balance, prevent in
juries and make the Greenbelt Pool safe place for
all who enjoy using it.
