Letter From Lantaf

Dear Neighbor:
The other day your Con@ess-
man was asked his opinion OF
the plans to investigate commun-
ism in the schools.
One of the first things the
Communists have done when
they have taken over a country
is to take over the schools and
require the use Of textbooks
which glorify Communism and
decry our democratic form of
government. When Hitler came
into power, he realized that he
had to train the youth through the
school system and he promptly
converted the youth of Germany
to the Nazi philosophy.
The international Communist
movement which seeks to sub
vert and destroy a country rOIn
within is just as important to
Russia as it's vast armies and air
armadas. Now, it is true that I'M
der our Constitution, we are
guaranteed the right of freedom
of speech; but certainly our
Founding Fathers did not intend
that this freedom should serve as
a license to advocate the destruc-
ton of our form of Government.
Several prominent educators
have objected to the proposed
Senate investigation of Commun-
list activities in the schools. l think
many of the fears voiced by
these people are prompted by the

Old furniture that looks like
new-that's what lots of home

Refinishing old furniture is lots
less expensive than buying new
furniture and you can achieve
good results--but it takes work

To tell you the right way to
refinish furniture, Miss Bonnie

prepared three publications, on
refinishing furniture, one on
finishes for furniture and one on
how to bleach furniture. A copy
