BIRMINGHAM Ala -

I047 can prove TO be n most
evcntful year In the preservation
and extension Of democracy, and
II big business will make the most
Of the opportunity, II will have to
make itself understood and appre-
eiated by the workers Of this ma
ton.
II you are an employee In almost
any industry In this nation, no
amount Of bellyaehing or sticking
your head in the sand will destroy
the fact that II costs someone some
where minimum Of 1915, 900 to make
each job possible. In other words, be-
fore you or could have the oppor-
tunity TO get the job we now have
someone else had 10 invest at least
that sum Of money. On top Of that,
someone has TO make many others
want the products or services Of
our employer and pay Tor them In
an amount sufficient to cover the
carrying charges on the money put
up 10 make our Jobs possible, plus
operation. depreciation, research,
and tax cost.
II you are an employer, you will
be penRliEsd II you are lacking In
selfless social eonsciousness---if you
persist In looking upon your en-
ployssa as just so many economic
units out Of which your only de-
sire Ii to get as much as you can
for M little as you can, instead Of
human beings who can be rooted,
guided and given paying stake
In an enterprisIng free enterprise.
The latter will give big business
and industry n soul. and with such
n will hN able 20 rompeta on the

theology may be sown.

, theology may be s0wn.
Industry ought TO be given the
opportunity TO provide the Jobs
needed by every able bodied man
and woman In these United States
who wants TO work. IL ought 70
have the backing Of government
where II attempts 20 voluntarily
put into effect q fair employment
practice program. No firm should
be forced 10 hire any particular
person on the basis Of race, creed
or color, but, at the same time, we
ought TO have law providing that
no one be given n license TO OPP
crate q business that discriminates
against workers because Of race,
creed or color.
II n depression should come our
way again, government should in
stitute a program Of training able
bodied, industrious men and women
Of character and guide them in
getting a tOe-hold in the production
Of something the world needs and
Is willing 10 pay for so that they
will be enabled 70 buy, build, and
maintain their own homes. When
we speak Of America, we speak Of
20 odd millions homes, which be
they ever so humble, are the castles
Of the men and women who build
and own them.
have talked about labor and
industry and the business ahead
Of building a richer and fuller life,
and the keeping Of that life by
giving others the opportunity TO
work and share in Il.
Now come TO what ! regard as
the important ingredient necessary
10 leaven this whole loaf: We must
again capture the romance Of
building men to match our world
Of mountains, men TO match our
world Of plains, men with empires
in their brains and new eras In
their purpose, instead Of a life Of
greedy, grabbing and gulping men.
With this must 90 a condemna-
ton Of all forms Of superstition and
prejudice. Religion, whose funda-
mental purpose Is TO promote peace
and goodwill must 20 hand In hand
with science. and constitute the
sole and ultimate basis Of a peace
full, orderly and progressive society.
There must be an increasing in
culcation of the principle Of equal
opportunity, rights and privileges
for all men and women, compulsory
education, n fairer distribution Of
wealth. and the exaltation Of work
performed in the spirit Of service
to the rank Of mankind.
And In l947 we should make a
real beginning In this business Of
the adoption Of an auxiliary inter-
nation language and n re-dedica-
ton Of all the peoples Of the world
to the proposition Of providing the
necessary agencies for the estab-
lishment and safeguarding Of q
just, permanent and universal peace
for and by all the peoples Of the
world.
While l have the floor, move
the adoption Of the contents Of this
column, by the Republican and
Democratic parties, and the peo-
Piles Of the world through the
United Nations organization. You
are at the bat for what may be
your last chance.

1t appears now, however, that the

The trend away from "the New

becomes more pronounced every
year. Whether this is because the
real Gotham has finally been ac-
cepted as the more authentic look

EVERGLADES, RIVER OF GRASS,
T,oo OF Colee Family From Here ScaIped BY Indians
TITLE OF MRS. DOUGLAS BOOK

What do you wish to know
about the Everglades?
Mention anything-the for
nation of that area, its oolitic
foundation, its flora, its fauna
the Indians who lived there be-
fore the Seminoles. All of that
Information and a great deal
more may be obtained by read
ing Marjory SLOVENIAN Douglas
book, The Everglades, River of
Grass.
Fifty years ago, when / was
o boy, spent eight days at
Cape Sable, which is included
in the Everglades National
Park. The object of the trip.
with four other Key Westers,
was to turn green turtle at
night, as they craWled up on the
beach to lay eggs. / was too
young then to realize that /
was engaged in sport that,
under various characterizations,
eventually would exterminate
turtle in this. area.
The period of determination
is near at hand. 1t is unusual
now to find green turtle, in the
entire course of. their egg-lay-
ing season, crawling up Cape
Sable or any other beach in this
area. Turtle brought to this
market today come from the
far away Mosquito Islands off
the Nicaraguan coast.
Florida delayed too long in
passing law prohibiting The
turning of turtle on its beach,
es. 1t was almost too late also
to save the white heron and
other birds that make their
home in the Everglades. One of
the blessings Of the Everglades
National Park will be the preser-
walton Of wild life in that
area in protecting it from the
ruthless onslaught of man. AS
Mrs. Douglas stresses in her
book, there is only one Ever
glades in the entire world, and
il is the one place in the world
that is most conducive to sever
al forms of wild life.
Key West is mentioned sever
al times in Mrs. Douglas book,
and probably Key Westers will
find some things in it of which
they had not been aware. Here
is story that will be of par
ticular crest to Key West
ers:
There were no settlers on the
Lewis grant by the New River
where the Indians came. 10

with his family, came UP the
/ east coast from Key West some
\ time after 1885 and cleared land
for a garden and put up a log
I cabin and called it Colee Harm
& mock.
The Indians had been bitter
Z, at the loss Of their old camp
site. There is a story that ia
young Indian boy hung about
I the clearing every day until the
I Colees, busy and unafraid, gave
him some of their cornpone and
fried fish and let him help with
! the work of the garden. They
called him Charley. -.
THE boy Charley slipped
away to warn the Colees, but
ALREADY Mr.. Colee and one son
had left in his sailboate for the
long trip to Key West for sup
piles, and Mrs. Colee and the
others paid no attention.
THAT night the canoes slip
ped down the flowing black
glass of the river. AT dawn, per-
Ihaps, Mrs. Colee woke with a
start. Then the war whoop
4 ripped dreadfully through the
dewy greenness and freshness. I.
The log cabin was attacked. The
woman and the boys fired des-,
perately but they were shot and
scalped and their bodies left to
burn. The man Colee and his
son sailed in from Key West

blackened timbers, of their cab

more than 100000 members to
"redouble cur efforts in support
of this Train and its sacred docu-

is an Elks lodge"
AT the recent national conven-
ton in Portland, Ore, the order
alphabetically and enthusiastically
endorsed the American Heritage

composed of men in every walk
of life, every party, every creed,
rich and POOR" said Mr.: Lewis;

no place for Communists in the
United States. We believe in
America. We believe in our con-
stitutional form of government
government neither to the right
nor to the left, but straight down
the middle of the road. We pledge
our entire effort to prevent these
saboteurs from defiling the clear
stream of American life.
THE brazen effrontery Of the
educational department of the
Communist Party through its
memo on the Freedom Train,
dated Aug. 20, 1947, cannot re-
main unchallenged. The purpose
Of that foreign directed group is
to sabotage the great objects OF
the Freedom Train and to make
it appear that the only supports
ers Of the American constitutional
form Of government are its big
business hackers.
"As Americans and Elks we
rededicate our resources to the
fulfillment of the noble purposes
of this Freedom Train carrying
with it throughout America the
sacred documents which secured
and guaranteed our freedom and
American heritage.
