We think it advisable to give a
short warning to the presidents with
reference to adding members to their
lodges and renewing unfinancial men,
bers.
Presidents as well as members should
be careful about adding new mem
bers or renewing persons in the H. B.
A. The reputation of the presidents
and local lodges are at stake in add
ing members to your lodge.
If you do not think conclusively that
the health, age and reputation of the
person applying for membership will
warrant such procedure; do not ac-
cept such applications.
1t is an easy matter for a person
to live to be sixty-one years of age
and then desire to get in the H. B. A.
Why drum up so many people who are
too old.
Presidents and members, watch your
step, be careful.
Quite a few presidents present APP
plications for members during the
Board and these applications are o,ked
by the General President. The o. K.
of the General President d o e not
mean that the local lodge must ac-
cept aid application. No person
can be admitted to your local lodge
only through the local lodge.
Therefore be it understood that al
persons making application for mem
bership in the H. B. A. must go thru
the local lodge as the law provides.

Last Monday W h e n | was gong
through the great m OF papers
that come to my desk the first of each
week. | found. in the Whiteside Coun-
ty News, a mast head slogan which
impressed me greatly. 1t was so apt
that | cut it out and stuck it up on
my desk. l thought about it so often
during the week that Pm passing it
on to you Stating the purpose of
this excellent paper, it read ITO Wake
Up rather than Makeup your mind!'
If that isn't the function of both
newspaper and a writer, then | don't
know what is! Not to tell you what
to think, but to stir up your thoughts!
One of the disadvantages of being
a free people is that we have to think
things out for ourselves. Our thoughts
do not come to us in cardboard con-
tanners. ready to be defrosted when
we want to use them. Of course,
thinking is hard work, and we must
be most cautious in the proper eval-
ulation of what we hear and read.
If this is too much work, we could
get around it by shutting out the
world and believing what the loudest
speaker tells us. 1t is sure to be
dark if you shut your eyes-and quiet
if you plug UP your ears. You notice
how the people who now say, Why
didn't the government tell US of the
danger we We're in?" are the very
ones who Shut their eyes and their
ears to the forces raging in the world
about them.

Il. B. A. DRIVE ON FOR ESQ MEMBERS
Free dom OF The
Mind

We need to wake up our minds with
setting up exercises. We need to look
around us and see what is really So
not what is told us. We need to look
for the purpose back of bold, definite
statements, and we need to show cour-
age enough to say - What's your
proof"
Herr Goebbels put across the most
successful propaganda campaign in
history on the theory that if you shut
off all but one avenue of news and
then repeated lie often enough and
loud enough, it would be believed.
Unfortunately for the world, his eval-
uation of the worlds mentality was
correct He would have succeeded in
his, til e greatest conspiracy of all
time, had there not been in the free
countries, free people bold enough
to ask for proof and to show that he
lied.
Here in America we believe in the
freedom of the self governed - a
thinking citizenry. There is no need
for the Gestapo in America. We as
enlightened citizens will do our think
ing, curbing our prejudices as we do
our tongues, because we believe in de-
cency and in the responsibility of free
thought.

Dear Presidents: Have you sup

They want to set out for themselves, as Amer

Il job and an opportunity in the american

Idolatry is always a betrayal OF
something high and good. There
are idolatries in our American life
as gross End perverting as those
to which the faithless in Israel
turned. Some make god OF
money, some of power, some OF
pleasure-and sometimes unwhole-
some and evil pleasure, some OF
home and family-to the neglect OF
common obligations and duties. But
whatever the form all idolatries

to love ones neighbor as ones self

the facts not of military value to
the enemy"
Healy, on leave as managing
editor of the New Orleans Times
Picayune, spoke at dinner meet
ing of the North Carolina Press
Association convention here.
He said it was true the armed
services have made mistakes on
one or two occasions in withhold
inc announcements. At the same
time, though, he added, no one
can justifiably contend that all in
formatio of the war should be
released instantly.
ITO do so,'' he said, would re-
move from the science of war the
element of surprise. That element
is of primary importance"
mo sane person." he continued,
would seek the release of infor-
nation which would jeopardize the
security of our nation. My only
criticism of the armed services is
that they sometimes take for grant
ed that the people know as much
about considerations of security as
they do. I do not believe that this
is the case, and I would like to-
see more explanations of the Sc
curity reasons responsible for the
postponement of announcements
when this is possible
He pointed out that sometimes
security considerations are obvious
ard again they are abscure.
Healy described in detail for the
newspaper publishers and editors
the set-up and operations of the
owl both on the domestic front
and overseas.
