Spring is in the air, so lets

the truth out of somebody and
they couldn't take it. Well If
that is the reason then there
should be more of it. There are
a lot of things the people do not
hear about, that maybe they
could read in the Journal. We
people who write this column
namely the Ghost Raiders were
told through the grape vine that
a couple of people could not
stand the truth and just because
it was not censored by certain
people that it could not appear
in the Journal. When we are

Forced
Listening
by Ruth Taylor

II 4&A1At< S0AA ~ ~ - ~ -
Il your town about music in
buses or in stations? There is
here in Washington. Now I'm
one of those persons who likes
to take my music or leave it
but / want to be the sole judge
of which it is. 1t seems to me
that those who advocate giving
us something to listen to when
we are about our business,
take the stand that We are
children, having to be amused.
I disagree.
But whether or not our ears
should be deafened with cater
waulings-good, bad or indif-
ferent, is / think, relatively
unimportant. There is a bigger
question involved - that of
force listening. To me it
smacks of the dictator state.
/ remember Mussolini and
Hitler - and l see the ulti-
mate effect of forced listening
in the parrot like utterances
of the Communists.
Why all this fuss about a
little music? Because if once
the precedent of forced listen
ing is established, then music
may give way to propaganda
speeches or slanted news COM
mentaries. Liberty goes by de-
fault.
What about the radio? Per-
fectly simple. When / don't
like speech on the radio, l
can turn it off. Even if it is
the President the United
States. l, the Individual, have
the right of choice.
Don't / believe in free
speech? OF course l do. In fact,
l belive in it so strongly that
/ believe both the NAM and
the Communists have the right
to buy time to tell their story.
But want to be able to turn
them both off whenever l want
to. I don't want to have to
listen.
Now it happens that l be-
lieve my middle-of-t -the-road
opinion is the best brand of
Americanism. But / also be-
lieve that democracy means
the rule of the people - not
of groups. l don't object in the
least to the groups sounding
off - but I want them to be
labeled as groups and not pro-
claim that they are the sole
exponents of the American
way of life.
In short, l think propagan-
da should be labeled as such.
That instead of saying "The
American Way of life is SUCH
and-such" a plain state
ment as though it were a fact,
they should have to say "The
way of life I and my group
want for America is such-and-
SUCH" And that each group
that takes to the air should
have to begin by stating their
group and specifically what
it stands for. The other even
ing ! counted four speeches all
claiming to represent the
American way of life - and
all demanding opposing things.
I'm tired of false labels - of
Communists calling themselves
liberals, of Dixiecrats calling
themselves Democrats, of Fa-
ciSts calling themselves Re-
publicans. I think every man
has right to his own opinion
but I think he should have
the moral courage to say what
that opinion really is - not
camouflage it under a lot of
high-faluting cliches.
And I want the right not to
listen. Maybe it isn't the Bill
of Rights, but it is inherent in
1t. In 1871 Edmund Burke,
the great friend of the Ameri-
can colonies. pointed out that

who is to take his place in Statuary Hall
among Americas great.
The white marble-seven feet OF it
was sculptured by Mahonri Young. one
of the many grandchildren of the second
president of the Church Of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saints, commonly known
as the Mormon Church. While few will
deny that Brigham Young fully earned
his niche in our hall of fame, about the
only thing nom -MormonS are inclined to
remember about him is that he led his
followers to Salt Lake City and had
lot of wives and children-27 of the
former and Sc Of the latter. to be exact.
But Young, in fact is one Of the more
colorful figures of the American past
q man with a rugged spirit, a practical
turn of mind and the gift of powerful
speech. Under his leadership. the Nor
mons once marched as "allies" of the
United States, and on another occasion
came close to fighting against us. Both
times, Young acquitted himself we'll.
His alliance with the Republic prob
ably called for even more moral courage
than did his war with it. 1t was 1846,
two years after the onetime New England
carpenter had taken over the reins of his
church from its founder. Joseph Smith,
who had been felled by an asSassin'S
bullet in Illinois Fleeing before this sort
of persecution, Young had just led the
advance company of Mormons through
the first leg of the westward trek-to
Council Bluffs, on the east bank of the
muddy Missouri.
At this juncture, message came
from Gen. Kearney, commandant at
Fort Leavenworth, Kan. War was ap-
parently brewing in the Pacific South
west. Gen. Kearney thought it would be
a good thing if few hundred MormonS
formed up battalion and marched out
to California to take possession for the
United States.
These United States had done very
little for the Mormons. For years the
Federal Government had stood by, never
raising finger to intervene, while the
Saints were pushed around by state and
local authorities. But Young sent a
quick and uncompromising answer back
to Gen. Kearney: You shall have
your men,"
In less than three weeks q battalion
was mustered into service, all "volun-
teerS" recruited by Young. And so the
Army's MormonS set out on their his
toric 2,000-mile march into the disputed
territory which later was to become

But you said you had another sys-
tem," we began again, hopefully.
Jeremy Mandrake laughed.
1T Is just as unpopular as the other"
he commented. Il discovered it by
watching the reaction of my beard when
I turned from shaving every other day
to shaving every morning.
whereas in the old days my whiskers
were soft enough on the second day.

month noticed that on the morning of

Practically. all men grow afraid to
touch their hair when they notice that
they are beginning to grow bald. They
will not even wash 1t.
IF they would shave it real close
every three days, believe inside of two
or three months they would all have
fine heads of bushy, thick hair. Grow
it long. or grow it short, but not medium.
1t must be very long. or very. very short.

Have you ever tried this method, Mr..

Mandrake shook his bushy head.

More Schools for Fairfax County

Fairfax County's overwhelming vote for q
school construction bond issue means that this
fast-growing part of the Washington Metro
politan Area at last will have the funds to keep
pace with developing educational needs. 1t
means an end to overflowing classrooms, to
drafty and leaky Quonset huts, to requisitioned
churches and halls, to other signs of school
system outmoded by the phenomenal residential
expansion of the past decade.
Once the citizens became fully aware of the
shameful conditions under which many of the
children of the nearby Virginia county
forced to obtain their elementary schooling, the
favorable outcome of the bond referendum was
to be expected. Without borrowing, it was real
lied, the county could not possibly provide the
additional Schoolrooms so urgently needed in
some communities. 1t is not surprising that the
vote for more schools far outstripped the vote
for an improved courthouse AS a matter of
fact there never was any real question as to the
necessity for building more schools in Fairfax
County. The only issue was how best to finance
them-on slow ay-aS-you-go basis or by
selling bonds to raise the money quickly. The
voters have shown that they are determined
to give todays generation OF children the type
Of education which children in adjacent Arling-
ton and Alexandria are getting. 1t is hard to
see how they could have voted any other way.

Memorial Day Massacre

Ned H. Henderson, president of the National

words in deploring the ecord-breaking number
OF deaths during the four-day period beginning
last Saturday. A summary showed the slaughter
of $50 men, women and children throughout
the country in traffic accidents alone, bringing
the total of violent deaths from all causes to
SAT. Never in the Nations history have so many
persons died in observing Memorial Day.
1t was because of this grim record that
Mr.. Henderson said: "The Nation has by slam
bang driving, and an outstanding demonstration
of mass indifference to the living while paying
respect to the dead, turned the Memorial Day hol-
iday into Memorial Day massacre" Not all of
the accidents were the result of reckless driving,
