has prospered because of the
measure of freedom it grants to
all men regardless to creed or
color Men that try to restrict the
freedom of honest citizens are not
friends to the government. Their
recent acts Of intimidation and
threat proves that they are the
enemies we should be at war
with. An enemy at your door is
far worse than one miles away?
An enemy that conceals his face
and refuses to tell his name is the
most subtle of all. Should one
have to leave his home because
he or she has worked for his liv-
ing and helped to build the great
est society that now exists be-
cause he asks for what ne has
earned? The U. S mas in its bor-
ders the Negro. its unfailing
friend in the times of war and In

for any group or anyone TO hu-
initiate or attempt TO do so TO citi-
zens that have proven their 10y
atty for the stars and stripes on
every battlefield this great coun-
try has fought. II one honest man
or woman has to leave the state
because he speaks out for what
he or she deserves, what must the
others do? Has freedom Of speech
been abandoned under the consti-
tuition? That is what white and
black boys are dying for today in
far away Korea. Freedom Of wor-
ship, freedom OF speech and free
dom to work in any capacity in
which one is able are the rights
OF all men. Those that would a.
bolish these rights are not friends
to humanity, they are not the
friends Of democracy, they are
not the friends TO men who found

enemies Of the christian religion
