progress of the communists.
1t is a proven fact, that the
communists desire to destroy our
religious beliefs through infiltra-
ton into the churches. History has
shown that attempts to destroy
christianity by force have only
strengthened christian principles.
WE CAN'T UNDERESTIMATE
OUR ENEMY. They are not fools
and know that the only way to
destroy the teachings of Christ is
from within the churches. 1t is up
to each of us to learn to recognize
communist techniques, and reject
any teachings that would alter our
christian concepts.
How many Americans realize
that in 1856 there were more
dedicated communists in the US,
than there were in Russia when
they took over that country? Ac-
cording to documented records,
there were 80 hard core COM
munistS in the state of Montana
in 1858, and many of them are in
north eastern counties = including
Richland. j. Edgar Hoover testi-
fled, regarding the Communist
party convention in New York last
Dec, that the party was directed
to increase membership by 1919 by
the LIST of May 1860. The new head
of the Communist party USA, is
&c IIo1I xryh0 hoe Iaoo oo~,+oI
of teaching violent overthrow of
our government through revolu-
ton. He has been a critic of the
soft policy Of the party in the
US, and is now top man for the
Kremlin in the USA.
Havesyou ever thought of what
it would be like to live under
communism? According to j.
Edgar Hoover, children would be
raised in communal nurseries
Women would be relieved of Their
, household duties, so that they
could work in the fields anc
, factories. Family life as we know
! it, would be non existent. By
) far the most of us would live il
actual slavery, if we remained
: alive.
: Quoting J. Edgar Hoover again
; "ThoSe that would have you re.
main in a state of complacency
are either uniformed, or have
q DEADLY AK TO GRIND" 1 hop
. the people 1 have heard indicat,
, that we should remain apatheti
regarding communism, are merel,
y uninformed.
There have been a good man,
remarks as to what a communis
e is. Following is the definition Q
a communist as explained in tn
: Funk and Wagnalls new practice
dictionary. Communist "A mem
Der of the communist party
especially in the USSR. In othe
countries, a person who endorse
supports or encourages the Rus
:, sian system of communism; ais
one who belongs to any party {
group that advocates the over
throw of capitalistic society an
" the establishment of some type {
II communism" All people that al
contributing to the communi
= cause are not communists. Mo
are good loyal Americans. How
ever; a communist does not cal
k who does his work for him = ju
y so long as it is accomplished.
N Many people have made derog;

American citizens. This phra
MIC Carthyism was first publisht
in the communist paper "the Dai
Worker, in a smear attack (
Senator cCarthy. Through r
peated and distorted use, it h
come to be associaed with wit,
hunting, book burning and fal
accusations, just as the commu-
lists desired when they invent
the term. UNIFORMED people ha
accepted it as a condemnation

Helen Wood Brine, a WON
who at one time headed the COZ
muniSt party in Montana, and
now speaking out against con
munism, recently talked here
Sidney. The minister of the chur
at which she appeared, was thre;
ened with damage to his reput
ton and loss of membership in
church if his church sponsor
her.
When Mrs. Brine was to appt
in Glendive, the sponsoring
ganization was threatened, pr
sure was brought to bare on Nc
owners to refuse her ladging, q
businessmen were threatened w
boycott for allowing her use
facilities. Why do some PEG
desire that this information t
she is disclosing be kept from
people? Why do they want

a deadly ak to grind?" TIL
incidents did not occur in a fore
country or in another section
