This, however, is certain; The Bill of
Rights is bulwark of strength. Our ma
ton will gain strength by closer adherence
to its wise and noble concept II will lose
strength as the freedoms are nbbled a
way or completely destroyed
"ro be specific, the nation is losing
much of its potential strength, both in mo-
raie and in actual productive manpower, by
not permitting Negroes to enjoy all the
rights in the Bill of Rights on full and
equal basis with white citizens.
Discrimination and segregation de-
prive the nation of the full usefulness of
nearly a tenth of the population
Besides, the impairments of their
rights make some Negroes wonder whether
the United States is worth fighting for
Fortunately, most of them realize they're

harder and more effectively if they knew

Yes. Some Negroes Do Wonder

Following are excerpts reprinted from
an editorial which appeared in the Akron
Beacon Journal OF December IS, 1850:
The first ten amendments to the Con-
stitution, commonly known as the Bill of
Rights, spell out the personal freedoms
which we Americans value so highly.
Many of us take these freedoms for
granted. Others have never enjoyed all of
them. The degree to which they are actual
, ly effective varies in different cities and diff
ferent states and from year to year
"Snce the Bill of Rights was adopted,
159 years ago today, there has perhaps
! never been a time when so great a haz-
ard threatened the full and continued
enjoyment of these precious liberties
"A crushing military setback al the
hands of one foe and the knowledge that
stronger enemy turks in the background
have caused grave apprehension over the
future. Obviously If the United State were
overpowered by a totalitarian aFgressor
the Bill Of Rights would be wiped out of
existence.

Last week, We received call A friend
", courteous, polite and appealing call. Our
caller was unknown to us when we answered
the phone, but he didn't remain unknown
2 long and neither did he permit us to be-
come perplexed over the source of the call,
In the height of brevity we were given the
: formal soft-soaking that only profession
al promoter can give.
! According to his statement, he was
representing the Kiwanis club, and the club
was sponsoring circus at the Robinson
auditorium with the proceeds going for the
benefit of the underprvileged children This
proposed act of benevolence Immediately
won our commentator. But our commenda-
ton vanished as quickly as mans lap up
on rising to his feet, when he insisted that
we, as other business men, help to make the
circus reality by underwriting certain
number of tickets.
We Immediately explained the diff
ficulties and the embarrassment our children
had suffered on previous occasions by or
CARNATIONS of the city sponsoring affairs
in the auditorium. He gave us to understand
that they had knowledge of various diff
culties and everything had been worked out
satisfactorily. The Negro children would be
given the entire balcony in the auditorium
and that would eliminate any confusion at
the circus, he stated. We told our solicitor
that that arrangement would probably be
all right with grownups, for our minds are al
ready poisoned with racial prejudice, but
we thought it was rather unfair to put our
poison in the hearts of the little children.
