treasure so greatly, and hold in

derstood by every citizen. These
first ten constitutional amend
mentS are the foundation for all
civil rights and liberties. They
safeguard freedoms of worship,
assemblage, speech, petitino, trial
by jury, and many other individ-
ual rights.
In recent years, private citi-
zens have organized to seek more
direct and effective approaches
to civil rights. These organiza-
lions realize that constitutional
guarantees must be reaffirmed
and protected by citizen action.
A common purpose Of the numer-
GUS organizations is a common
desire for freedom and equality.
The work of these organizat-
Jews --rcro ot'ng civil rights is
mode ineffective bv the needless
duplication Of efforts. Some
snecialize in a single field, some
have no field. and others engage
in several fields. The methods
used bv these agencies to pro-
mote civil rights can be class
flied as education, participation,
LEGISLATION, Or prevention.
Some groups are primarily con-
cerned with Negro problems,
some take up the problems Of
the American. Indian. There is

Oriental minority. Organizations
which serve all minoritieS as one

lion gallons of water per year, he
told the Rotarians. The speaker
stressed the need for soil conser-
walton to help keep the ponds and
small streams from drying up.

preserving water sheds and soil
conservation for use in future
years. The program chairman was
