Although a relative junior among the Family of Nations, the United States already possesses the oldest form of constitutional giwemment in the world. This democratic form of government, however, relies peculiarly on the intelligence and good will of individual citizens. “Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women," said th* late American jurist. Learned Hand. “When it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it.” The Founding Fathers fashioned a system of government whose genius is that it maximizes individual freedom - to worship, to speak out, to create, to learn, to succeed. And the fruits of the system are matters of record. “On any honest basis of comparison, the record of America speaks for itself." wrote Henry Grady Weaver in 1947. “In this republic, less than 7 percent of the earth's population has created more new wealth than all the other two billion people in the world, and the benefits of this great wealth have been more widely distributed here ¡han in any other country — at any tune." Weaver's observation nearly 30 years ago is as timely today as it was then. The capacity of this nation to produce goods and services of almost every kind in abundance continues to astonish the watid. While much of mankind, regrettably, lives in hunger, only about 5 percent of Americans are needed on the farms to produce considerably more food than the other 95 percent can consume. And the comforts available to average citizens here are unmatched anywhere. At the same time that we have worked tirelessly to guarantee full opportunity to all our own citizens, we have taxed ourselves more heavily than any other people to help those less fortunate in other nations. What does America ask in return from its citizens9 Simply this: that we love her — warts and all - and that we vow individually to “preserve, protect and defend” her from all enemies U.S. Preae A seariatien Benefit Ball Big Success The second annual Benefit Ball sponsored by the Mal heur Memorial Hospital Au xiliary on December 20, was indeed very successful. The proceeds were $1455 and after expenses they will purchase the much needed Burdick Cardiac Monitor for the nurses station at the hospital. Everyone in the com munity cooperated and even people out of the local district helped to make this event successful. The door prizes were won by Mrs. Dirk DeBoer, who won the Zenith radio and Mrs. Harvey Pritchard of Parma was the winner of the beautiful floral arrangement created and donated by Frances Focht. The Auxiliary wishes to thank everyone for their time, help and efforts to make this worthwhile event possible. A special thanks to the Eagles for the use of the hall, those who prepared and donated the food, sold tickets and all the miscellaneous jobs that were done so willingly. The tentative date for the third annual ball is December 11 and the music will again be by the “Five Soft Sails.” Extension Group To Meet In Nyssa An organizational meeting of a new Extension Study Group will be held in Nyssa on Thursday, January 22.

Thanks again, Mrs. Mike Lopez The Birch Log Truth About M.L. King by John F. Me Monos Hrlmunt, Ma.itachutrtli — If you choose to ba have the image makers. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr was a humanitarian, a man of peace, an a poet I e of non violence, and a formidable crusader tor the rights of man But if you prefer to deal in hard realities, he was none of these H«- was. instead, a dangerous agitator win we purpose clearly included the destruction of free dom for all Americana Because the campaign to glorify him persists, it is important that we take a look at the record he compiled during his stormy career Promoter of Violence It will undoubtedly coma aa a shock to some to learn that the “apostle of non-violence" pub licly stated that his whole program called for and could not succeed without a heavy dose of violence King told us about hie need for vio lence in an article that appeared in .Saturday Rruifw for April 3, 1966 In the article, be stated that his demonstrators went into the streets for the purpose of provoking a violent reaction This violence, he said, would cause Americans to "demand federal intervention and legists tion," which the Administration would speedily supply. Notice that King's final goal, "federal inter vention and legislation," could only bo achieved if he and hie followers succeeded in sparking some violent action — action that may or may not have been spontaneous. After his often bloody intermediate goal was achieved, Ameri cans of all colors invariably found themselves with more federal control over their lives, their property, and their actions A Communist Objective Always and everywhere, of course, thoae who promote the cause of Communism seek more laws, edicts, and controls. Total government ia the ultimate Red goal, and the piecemeal ac quisition of more government power is standard Communist strategy. Whether or not he himself ever was a Communist (and we doubt that ha ever waa), King's goal and the goals of Commu nism were identical Was King unaware of whose strategy he was implementing9 We think not The record clearly shows that he went out of his way to cooperate with known Reds in carrying out their plans for America For example. King attended and even ad d r essed the September 1967 session of the High lander Folk School in Tennessee Highlander waa known to be a Communist operation, and one of its organizers, Don West, waa known to be a district director of the Communist Party A widely publicized photo taken at the school shows King seated next to identified Commu mat Aubrey Williams snd Communist Party Central Committeeman Abner Berry In the years that followed. King sought and obtained help from such known Reds as Carl and Anne Braden, James Dombrowski, and Benjamin Smith When he launched his South ern Christian leadership Conference, he sought out former Young Communist league organizer Bayard Ruatin And to lead the S C I, C in the South, he selected Hunter Pitta O'Dell, also a member of the National Committee of the Com munist Party When O'Dell's Communist rar ord became emharraasing. King went through the motions of firing him, but immediately rshirad him to run the S (' (. (' ’a New York office. Despite these indisputable facta, Americana are still being asked to glorify Martin hither King, even to the extent of observing January 16 aa a holiday in his honor At the same time, we are being aaked to condemn the F H I anil J Edgar Hoover for keeping a file on him Isn't it odd that the King promoters don't suggest that the contents of that file be made public9 Martin Luther King should never have heed glorified, either while he lived or after he waa slain Americans who value their freedom should not allow false heroes to be shoved down their throats • /M7W I'hr John Itin h .Yo< ir/v Fr<itur»> Paid for by E.O.M.
