CONCEPT OF FREEDOM


Freedom, from whatever sought or
whatever its nature, is a costly and
dear condition. 1t never comes of its
own accord but only after prodigious
planning and diligent effort In many
instances, freedom such as that
sought by Negroes in America in
regards to their: citizenship has re-
suited in serious consequences. To
attempt to conceive of freedom with
out giving full valuation to the many
obstacles or the hard work and Sacri-
flee necessary to attain it is to fail to
understand it and almost invariably,
to fail to attain it.
Freedom connot be gotten by mere
ly asserting ones right to it as guar
anteed by the constitution of our
great nation. Those rights and privil-
eyes are guaranteed to those who
merit them through their constant ef-
forts toward this goal. When freedom
is sought without this thorough
knowledge and understanding the re-
suits are often Illustration and dis
appointment and always the goal is
much more difficult to attain.
Equally important is the necessary
knowledge to recognize advancements
when they are made and to be able
to exploit them fully in ones efforts.
The advantage of many gains are lost
because in our overall conception OF
our aims we overlook many of the
conditions that represent gains and
we fail to use them as stepping stones
to our final goal. This must be cor
rected and each gain solidified and
incorporated into our overall efforts.
Along the same line of thinking, those
of us in areas where some freedoms
are common must not take them for
granted but must use these freedoms
to the fullest extent possible. A case
in point is that of voting. If voting is
free to you then by all means use it
and think of the many Negroes to
whom this privilege is denied as you
are voting. This thought should cause
you to vote with the maximum of
intelligence.

In a darkened living room of

Mrs. A. j. Condetti tried to
comfort the child and to fight
back the tears and a torrent of
frightening thoughts about her
7-year-old son. Michael.
Michael left his home at 2415
Fourteenth street NE. about
$3.50 pm. Monday to go to a
nearby variety store to price a
book bag. He has not been
seen nor heard from since.
II see him playing with a
bunch of boys and falling in a
deep hole somewhere" his
mother said as the tears flooded
eyes again. II see him trapped
somewhere where he can't get
out I see him hurt and lying
in the water and I can't get to
him. I can't help him. I
see so many horrible things"
She shuddered and shook her
head. She tried to comfort the
baby, Kathleen, and then. pac-

afternoon.

brother, Christopher, came

I rack RENE val Estimate
Given Nod by Aiken

Harold L. Aitken, District d.
rector. of highways, today told
the Public Utilities Commission
he feels the $l0.4 million esti-.
mated by the D. C. Transit
System as the cost of track
removal in the city appears
reasonable. ~
Mr.. Aitken was called as a
witness by citizens opposing the
transit company's request for a
fare increase. d. C. Transit
wants four tokens for 95 cents,
in place of the present five
for 81, with the ascent cash
fare remaining the same.
Repeatedly. the witness said
that the, Highway Department
does not have sufficient experi-
ences in track removal costs at
this time to challenge transit's
figures. He pointed outithat he
cannot estimate transit,s liaG
bility for costs Of repayiae

exist. He said that 4 I'M some
cases the share would be SO per

ment paying the, balance. but

removal were inflated.
In a year or two, Mr.. Aitken
said, his department may be in
a position to give the commits
sion a better cost report on
track removal.
He does not have specific
plans at this time for removal
of all streetcar tracks in the

view of conflicting legislation,
he testified, he does not know
