observance of Mothers Day, once
a year, and think that those for
tunate enough to have a mother
living, and a Christian loving
mother, have the finest blessing
there is.
In observing the day this year,
we urge readers to remember that
expensive gifts, or even bought
flowers, are not necessary. The
thought is what counts, and a
flower picked froh ones own
yard, or elsewhere and a gift
made in ones own house, should
be appreciated as much or more
as any other. Remembrance is the
important theme and we hope no
worthy mother is forgotten by her
children on Mothers Day, 1855.

America will resort to the very means they hate most-the

AMERICA WILL not be kept free by the burning Of

Editorial:
QUAINT IDEAS
EVERY NOW and again seemingly

EVERY NOW and again seemingly insignificant events
find their way into news. These incidents reveal a trend in
the United States which should shock the consciences of men
and women who love freedom and believe in the democratic
process. Like everything else democracy must grow and
move forward if it is to survive. Any s~tranglng or whiting
away, even in the name Of freedom and democracy is fatal.
TWO OF THESE events should serve as sufficient to
point up the seriousness Of this trend. In Indiana some time
ago a housewife and mother protested long and yehemently
that the Robin Hood story should not be found in the text
books where children could read it because the story taught
communism.
NOTHING COULD be more ridiculous. When Robin
Hood roamed the Sherwood Forest communism was un-
known. And we venture to say that he himself would have
opposed this deadly doctrine with all the power at his com
mand. Yet, this modern woman in Indiana, gripped by fear
lest the Evolutionary outlaw should win over the children to
today sought to have the story suppressed. The theory be-
hind her fear was that the c~apitalisic system would be ruined
because Robin Hood robbed the rich and gave to the poor.
One wonders what next.
MORE SINISTER even is the recent action Of q certain
school board in a southern state which demanded that GER
tain science Textbooks be withdrawn from the schools be-
cause these books referred to all humans as being homo S-
piens, and therefore breed freely with each other. The books,
by the way, were written by noted authors.
PERHAPS THE time may have come for us as Amer
cans and developers Of the greatest democracy on earth to
stop long enough to realize that if the system we know and
claim IS well founded no foreign ideas and i~dealogies, how
ever facinating they may sound, could disturb that which
we know, and love, and cherish.
N NOW AND again the sane citizen is startled BY
some groups which meet and pass resolutions calling for the
United States to withdraw from the United Nations because
