MOBILITY

America is on the move. Seventy
million people changed their places
of residence in ten wears between
1910 and 1850 This creates some
problems
A noted actor once said that
there are three things he likes
about Sunday: the extra hour in
bed, the big Sunday dinner with
all the family present, and the
spiritual uplift Of the philharmonic
broadcast. This remark lays bare
both the secularism of our age and
the spiritual longing of city dwell
ers. of those who are moving into
cities and have difficulty in get
ting their roots down deep and
keeping their families together in
the highest kind Of fellowship.
Those on the move must be
helped to drop anchor deep. de-
velop family loyalty and enlarge
their spiritual concerns. This is a
difficult task but we must work at
it Actually we're "evangelizing a
procession" consecrating mobility,
the word that can change your life.

Senate Cloakroom
BY J. GLENN BEALL
United States Senator from
Maryland

Several off-beat items which ar
rived at my desk this week might
be of interest to those of you who,
like myself get a certain curious
kick out of browsing through other
peoples communications.
From my secretary, for instance.
l got a note saying that a ham"
radio operator in Washington
County had contacted our office by
broadcasting to the Pentagon and
asking that his dispatch be re-
layed to us by telephone
Another messa9e-this one from
Southern AIaryland-came to me in
the form of 1,20O-foot tape re-
cording prepared by a man whose
business card said he does free
lance warfare research"
Wants Taxes
A third man Informed me of his
sentiments in mimeo2raphed
sheet headed Down With the Gov
eminent"
And lawyer, who indicated that
his income is in the higher brack-
cts, wrote an unusual letter asking
for a change in revenue laws SO
that ne and others in his financial
class might pay more taxes"
Such communications are Obvi-
ously out of the ordinary, but even
the unusual contacts ! have with
my constituents are extremely i'm
portant in helping me do my job.

MRS. MARTHA GLOTFELTY
We Live When We Dare
To Be Different

To Be Different
The pages Of history tel the story
of individuals who dared to be
different in their day and age and
to think Cor themselves. They have
been the inventors, the dreamers.
the pioneers in every field of en-
deavor. From their courage and in
itiative, the human race has made
forward strides.
1t is in the uniqueness of person
ality that we find life at its best.
Only when we dare to think and
study and learn for ourselves do
we use this priceless gift well.
Many educators and thinking
people today are warning that
there are subtle forces at work to-
day to destroy this right and privi-
lege to be different They point
out that it is SO easy. so safe to 90
along with the crowd Clothes that
make us look ridiculous are worn
so long as we are assured every
one is wearing them" One noted
educator says that Standardization
is the prevailing feature of Ameri-
can life individuality of expression
and independence of judgment are
endangered by a uniformity that
extends not only to dress and man
nerS, but to speech and thought
which has produced the mass mind.
The molders of the mind are the
press, radio, television. pulp maya
zines. advertisements, films and the
book clubs. Consciously or uncon-
sciOuSly most of us follow certain
patterns OF living. We are mem
bers of certain profession. a po-
litical party a union, d certain club.
Have you ever asked yourself how
much originality goes into these
forces that govern your life? Some
day just take time off and think
about it,
Our very liberty is based on our
differences. If we were all alike
and possessed the same capabilities,
we would all fit into the same pat
tern, and we would then be GER
tain that with suitable education
and training, people would fit into
proper inches and everything
would be lovely. This is the prem
Use upon which the Communist
state proceeds.
Nature abh0rS uniformity Ac-
tually everyone is different Physi-
cally. we differ in size and shapes,
and in such minute matters as our
fingerprints and toeprints we show
individuality
The greatest differences are in
the mental and emotional pro-
cesses. However, being different
does not mean being freakish or
eccentric. 1t does not mean being
antagonistic or non-cooperative.
Fact of the matter is, when we
realize that others are different al
so, we grant to them also the right
to be different, and it stimulates us
to be more tolerant and under
standing toward them.
Making the most of our own
abilities and being independent in
our thinking instead of being car
bon copy of somebody else should
be our goal.
In Hollywood they have a saying,
Imitation may be the sincerest
form of flattery, but originality
gives you that box office appeal
We should all be thankful that
we were created different from
every other human being and that

Minority Views

Minority Views
If we in this nation are to pre-
serve our government of the
people" all groups-even the small
est minorities-must consider it a
duty 10 make their views known.
1t then becomes the solemn duty
of those of us in public life TO give
careful consideration to the vari-
GUS opinions
Many Bosses
The obligation of lawmakers to
give serious thought to all reason
able proposals arises from the
basic fact that in a democracy, the
citizens are the rulers.
Following that principle one step
further, we arrive at an interesting
