IN COMMUNICATION of the 154th
L anniversary of our Bill of Rights, we
declare, in the words of the Great Master
to the Apostle Peter;
Upon this rock, | will build my
church; and the gates of hell shall not
prevail against it,
TO-DAY we salute our American Magma

as becomes our devotion, and silently
as we pledge TO guard our precious
heritage.
II was born in the birth of our nation
1t sprang from the innate desire of man.

It is the echo of past centuries.
II is the anchor of our safety.
II is the bulWark of our security.
II is the cradle of our personal liberties
II is the inspiration of our American life
II is the soul of America itself.
II is our protective mantle.
1t is the high concept of mans estate
proclaimed in the Declaration of In
dependence-the birth certificate of
our country-and embedded in the
Constitution of the United States.
IT AFFIRMS the right of every man to
Il these great basic freedoms which
keeps inviolate the personality and
conscience of man; free m of
speech freedom of the press; free
dom of religion; freedom of as
semby and the other inalienable
freedoms of self-respecting nation,
It's history is transcript of the in
destructable gospel of human liberty
INDEED, the spirit of independence and
i the promotion Of values for the CON-
mon good has been the irresistible
impulse Of man in every age.
1t must have been discussed long before
the dawn of recorded history. BY the
Pickering fires of the Mediterranean
caves when hairy men rested after
the hunt, under the stars of Central
Asia when the flocks were bedded
down for the night; on the shores of
Mount Olympus; in the halls of the
Saxon and the Viking; wherever men
gathered together drawn by the COM
mon bond, the principles of sacrifice
for the common good emerged as the
only basis upon which they could
build a society which would satisfy
the proudest instincts of the human
soul
IT is this spirit which lies at the root
I of civilization
1t expands with the evolution Of the hu-
man race.
1t constitutes the very lifeblood of man
hood
1t fired the hearts of the pilgrims
1t speeded the Mayflower TO its anchorage
at Plymouth Rock.
It was the prayer of the Puritans, the
Huguenot and the Moravan.
It enabled them TO brave the perils OF
savage frontier that they might wor.
ship God according TO the dictates OF
their own conscience.

Detroit evening times., 1945-12-17

THE first 10 amendments to the
i Constitution of the United States,
comprising the American BILL OF
RIGHTS came into force Dec. Is,
1871, and have now been in force 154
today being the anniversary
of this important event in American
history.
The purpose of these 10 amend
ments was to give the effect of writ
ten law to certain aspirations of the
American people which the original
Constitution had not made secure.
The Constitution, as originally
drawn and ratified, was primarily an
instrument of government, defining
and limiting the POWERS of gov
ernment in a most comprehensive
and enlightened manner - without
precedent in the history of mankind,
and to the general satisfaction of the
people>of the new republic.
But the people were not CON
TENT with it. y
THEY were fully cognizant of the
L necessity for an orderly and COM
petent government, and of the at
tendant necessity for well-defned
and clearly understood powers of
government,
But they wanted recognition and
definition of the specific RIGHTS Of
people as we'll as the powers to be
exercised over them.
They wanted, for instance, to
know that it was matter of basic
Law and not matter of mere
custom or aspiration or temporary
enjoyment that the American people
should have freedom of religious
worship.
They wanted it to be the lawful
RIGHT Of the American people, and
not a transitory privilege, to have
freedom of speech and freedom of
the press, freedom Of assembly and
Of petition.
There had been orderly and COM
petent GOVERNMENT in the world
before the American Constitution
IS drawn
RUT there had never before been a
government based primarily
Detroit evening times., 1945-12-17
The bill of RIGHTS

upon the RIGHTS OF PEOPLE,
and the American people were de.
termined to have such government.
Accordingly, they CHANGED
the Constitution to conform to their
aspiration and determination.
History teaches that there were
powerful elements within the coun-
try which opposed amendment of the
Constitution to include the Bill Of
Rights.
There were elements in the
country then, as ever since and espe-
cially now, which disputed and de
MED the WISDOM of giving the
people so strong and secure a place
in government as the Bill of Rights
provided.
Then as now, it was earnestly
urged that there would be occasions
when it would be better to let gov
ernment decide FOR the people than
otherwise, to let government think
and act according to its own interest
and policy rather than according to
the possibly contrary opinions of the
people
RUT the people persisted, and had
their way-and this is the ami
versary of the fulfllment of their
determination.
That it is an important ami
versary we have only to realize by
consulting the advantages that ac-
crue to us today in consequence of
that occasion which is commemo-
rated today.
The American Bill of Rights has
survived for l54 years, not because
it is invulnerable to destruction or
impairment, but because the Ameri-
can people have never as yet per
mitted its permanent impairment.
But it could be destroyed TO
MORROW, if the~American people
should permit it.
That is why observance of the
anniversary of the Bill of Rights is
IMPORTANT, this year and every
year-in the vital interest of pre-
serving our free way of life, the only
means the American people will ever
have of PERPETUATING the in
strument of government which
makes them free.

tioning Board by July 1. However,
OPA urges farmers to get in their
permit before that time even
though they may not slaughter un-
til next fall or winter. This per-
nit limits the sale of dressed meat
by farm slaughterers in any quar-
ter of this year to the same amount
sold the corresponding quarter Of
1914.
At the same time, OPA pointed
out that farmers who sold no
dressed meat in 1914 may, if they
are registered with War Price and
Rationing Boards, market up to
400 pounds this year.
Simple forms for reporting sales.
along with ceiling lists and ration
point tables, will be supplied farm
ers at the time the permit is issued.
Farmers are asked not to charge
more than ceiling prices for the
meat sold and to collect the proper
number of red points to be turned
into the Board each month. This
definitely eliminates black market
activity.
Farm slaughter for home con-
sumption is totally unaffected, OPA
said.
The increase In the packers sub
sidy on beef announced last March,
which has been further adjusted,
will enable the packer to avoid any
material loss on sales of beef, even
when buying at ceiling, the Office
of Price Administration announced
today.
The subsidy is on a sliding scale,
OPA explained. Increased subsid-
les are paid when the cattle are
purchased at the ceiling and small
er amounts are paid if cattle prices
move downward.
This sliding scale subsidy ad-
justment has been adopted to meet
a problem created by the fact that
for sometime both beef and hogs
have been selling right up to their
ceiling prices.

In order to encourage livestock
