a protracted slump for nearly
a year-housing starts are
now more than 20 per cent
below the rate of a year ago.
The administration has either
forgotten or conveniently ig-
nored the fact that it was a
similar slump that set the
stage for the very serious
recession of 1878.
Optimism Unjustified?
I remember hearing the
same chorus of complacent
optimism as we entered the
year 1857, and yet. before the
year ended, we found our
selves in the grip of the most
serious economic recession
since World War II.
There are disturbing signs
that we may be seeing history
repeated unless we take cor
rective action, and take it
soon. Unemployment re-
mains uncomfortably high,
and the experts believe that
we now have close to As
million unemployed, a figure
which means that approx
mately 6 percent of our labor
force is out of work-clearly
a dangerously high level. The
inventory of unsold automo-
biles is at an all-time peak,

ing, as we do the full recognition of
our rights as human beings, we must
never be guilty of violations of the
type which we seek to eradicate.
Not only must we, as adult individ-
uals, practice the art of respecting the
rights of others, but we must inculcate
this same doctrine into our youngsters.
This must be taught to them not only
as a virtue which they need to de-
velop wholesome life for themselves
as individuals but also as a virtue
which they must possess and exhibit if
we are to attain the full fruition of the
benefits of respected citizens. We
cannot expect more from others than
we ourselves are willing to give. The
harmonious relationship of human
beings demands mutual and recipro-
eating respect for each others rights
Rarely is it necessary to relinquiSh
ones rights in order to give due re-
spect to the rights of another. A
clear understanding of what rights are
alleviates this condition.
The logical place to begin the
knowledge of the importance of re-
specting the rights of others is in the
home. In the new trend of integratiOn
our children are daily coming in con-
tact with new problems in this respect.
They are constantly in the spotlight in
regard to their relationship with other
children. If we fail to give them the
proper perspective in this all-impor-
tant phase of their lives we may very
well be guilty of undoing all that has
been accomplished in the way of inte-
grafton.

RESPECTING THE RIGHTS

In order to attain the respect for
our rights which we so vigorously

we accord this respect to others. I'm
der many of the present day condi-
tons which we encounter, it may
sometimes seem difficult to conduct
our actions in this direction. How
ever, the inability to respect the rights
of others is indicative of an attitude
of intolerance and reconsideration
which is highly uncomplimentary to
an individual, a race or nation. Seek
