that we don't have to go overseas fight can be won

There is only way TO counteract an idea that's by
matching against better idea. We believe that the idea
Of democracy better idea than the idea of communism
1t is going 70 be TO America to make her idea Of
democracy work well that the idea Of communism Will

Democracy be made to do that. Communism sim

Supreme Court Decisions

With the United States Supreme Court back in session
ready to issuing l944S opinions the eyes of Amer
lea and the world turned this important and august
body
On the agenda several cases dealing with highly
controversial subjects involving the racial angle First OF
these the restrictive covenant Four important cases are
to be heard in December, Detroit case
Other vital TO be ruled include the rights OF
Negroes law schools and the civil rights law COW
erng the Bob-Lo which also originated IN Michigan
The spotlight of publicity and national attention has
been focused the problem lately because of the
very comprehensive report that President Trumans Com
mittee Civil Rights made on the Negroes situation IN
America.
II be hoped that the Supreme Court. in rendering
their decisions will take into consideration the trend OF
the dayhat Of better opportunity for all citizens
is to be hoped that they remember Americas position
leader the world conference for human rights the Uni
ted Nations and the role expect to play in the future
For from their decisions will postery take It's cue
They have in their hands the power TO set precedent
that only the courts OF the nation VIII follow but the
courts OF the world will follow.

concerned. the influence of
Christianity as expressed by
the overwhelming majority of
non-Negro peoples is a fiction.
il does not even exist We
know that Christianity as prac-
ticed by those just referred
10 is but an aggregate of all
the little egoisms and petty
prejudices of those constitut-
ing its community and who
control its dogma and its
ministry.
In this hour of supreme
establishment with what
could have been the great
force for good in the world
we are inclined to say that
FAITH as expressed by our
prejudiced fellows is nothing
with them but TO believe
firmly, and with certainty
that which is not reasonable.
To apply the reason of
special privilege to special
persons for special benefit and
to exercise the. right to en-
force such conclusion. You
see those who wish TO excuse
themselves as Christians be-
come stubborn in what they
believe and believe il with
more resolution than reason

are many fine careers open
in the service, and an inn

formed. 1t is certainly worth

made TO call the town Swish
erville:" this name was not
deemed suitable and Il be-
came "Cummingsville after
J. Cummings. Again a dis
agreement arose over naming
the site, and in final mo-

busting little settlement took
unto itself again the name of
Remus. which is bears. proud
ly TO this day.
The first public building in
Remus was a log schoolhouse.
The town roads were built
Of logs laid crosswise the
trails and sand thrown over
them A grain elevator was
built in 1884. What farming
was done was with oxen
and later by horses. The
stores doing the most business
those early. hustling. and
bustling days old timers said
were the saloon and general
store. Soon Remus boasted of
a post office: a creamery and
a second and more imposing
school house. Today il pre-
sents a far different picture
than when the first Remus'
Harpers, Crosses. Greys. Nor

been blazed through the for
ests leading in and out OF the
settlement

Remus is the Wheatland
