The Freedom Train is Coming

Very soon, Phoenix will be host to the Freedom Train

Names will be released soon including of most
able Colored and White leaders.
When the Freedom Train began it's year-long tour of
American cities, towns and villages it's sponsors-the
American Heritage Program expressed the hope that
each visit would become revival meeting for American
democracy"
How close this purpose comes to realization only the fu-
ture ell but the hong lines of men, and chill
dren filing by the precious documents the train and the
crowds participating in the special programs indicate that
something is happening. The ideals of the democratic
form of have undoubtedly become real

The Bill of Rights is there with it's guarantees of free

The Durable Satisfdctions of Business

who worked were Jewish pawn
brokers, ignorant porters and clod-
like housemaids.
But the sort of civilization that
the author depicts is rapidly pass
ing. Indeed, the loafers of the
world are ceasing to be interest
ing.
We are discovering that the
greatest human interest is in work,
and that happiness, adventure and
beauty are the children of work,
and not the children of idleness.
Summing up the durable salts
factions of business, we might
mention few of them as follows:
Q) The pleasure of Service. OF
all forms of human happiness the
most dependable, sure and durable,
and the one less liable to leave a
dark brown taste in the mouth, is
the effort to be of use to somebody
(2) The business man knows
that he is a producer, and not
merely a consumer.
(3) The business man lives clos
est to the truth. The truth is not
found in philosophical essays and
the theories of professors in the
university. Truth is what will
work.
(4) I refer, of course, only to
those who are engaged in some
business that is of use to their fell
low men, not to the gamblers, not
any of those who make a profit by
pandering to the perversions of
their fellows.

Rambling Thoughts BY The
Philosopher

Strangely enough, this has come
about in spite of all literature and
preachment to the contrary. New
er before has so much scorn been
poured out upon the mere money
maker. Never before have there
been such such eructations of envy
against the criminal rich. Novels,
plays and poems have displayed
the mean and wretched soul who
devotes himself entirely to bust
ness.
This should be good illustra-
tion of how little, after all, litera-
ture influences life. For today
more young men are contemplate
ing entering business career than
in any other preceding day in his
tory.
Today even women have been
captivated by the same meal, and
there are tens of thousands of them
actively in business and occupied
with something else than merely
raising babies, sweeping floors and
carrying slippers for a man.
The reason of this is that busi-
ness is not essentially money MAX
ing, it is essentially service. And
service is the most normal, whole
some and happy condition of life. :

who has a very successful trucking
business was asked by a defender

Bert Childers was saying, it's
funny how so many of our wartime
habits stick with us.
Bert likes plenty Of butter on his
bread, but even now he can't get
over spreading it like it was scarce
as hens teeth. And as a war;
worker, Bert used to stick to q
temperate glass of beer on time off
and he still holds fast to beer and
moderation.
Same way with Bert's wife. She
not only has no trouble saving
used fats, and waste paper. She's
learned from wartime necessity to
