And let me give you this direct
| quote. g. and he has the right to
be informed truthfu1ly about public
events. This is where my friend
John is in trouble with the Board of
Education, Highway and Fish and
Game. The Babcock boards believe
they know better than my friend and
give the press the old heave no on the
slightest pretext.
On the right to worship God ac-
cording to ones conscience damned
well agree.
The choice to choose freely a state
of life is really very difficult for me
to understand. l wish John had

TO be quoted frequently out of con-
text. What he means by right to
work was spelled out more clearly in
his writing of last year and that's
the trouble in writing, you always
think that people will understand
what you mean when you have COW

right to working conditions. These
conditions are what unions fight for
and the only real tool besides hiring
lawyers is to not work. Strike, bless

Emigrate and immigrate all you

York or Costa RIGA but that don't
mean he's not human or not contribu-
ing to his responsibility in the world
community.
And be partisan-if the courts

ng justice.
So use your, rights but for each
here is duty. John gives these
Your right to life is correl-
tive with the right to preserve it.

living is matching to the duty of liv- t

IRE for the John Birch Society, "For n

of it's members is re-
