j 1 have always defended the
right of man to worship God in his

the right of man to worsi p hGdo
the right of man to worship God or
not to worship God. I believe in
free speech, free press but with
the understanding that this free

A country’s first line of defense
is the courageous hearts of its de
fenders. Indomitable will and
courage of man is superior to
mechanized forces. If the hearts
of the defenders of a country are
courageous it will take more than
superior mechanized forces to con

cease to cr uild. We must have
something higher and better to
turn our thoughts. It is much bet
ter to build a man than to build
a city.
We have faih inouryouthtetshr
We have faith in our youth.
We must build them into strong
men and women and by doing so
we can assure the future of our
country. I believe American peo
ple will adjust themselves and be
able to take the bad with the good
as the good of our Democratic
form of government far outweighs
the bad. An institution is no bet
ter than its founders.
The ideal of Americanism is
something more than a form of
government, something more than
location. It is the spiritual ideal
ism of the God-given dignity of
man, a spiritual contribution to
the mode of life.
Every man has a right to live
under the law with freedom and
without fear. Continuity of spirit
makes for the ideal of American
ism and we are proud of our free
dom and liberty but this should
not be abused.
Rabbi Marx concluded his ad
dress with the remark that:
A Democracy is the finest
structure ever built by man.
where animosities disappear and
hatred is unknown.
Rabbi Marx was introduced by
Jake Haas, manager of the Cov
ington Garment Manufacturing
Co. In introducing him Mr. Haas
stated he had been a great in
spiration to him in his spiritual
life as well as being his friend and
adviser.
President A1 David expressed
the appreciation of the club for
the splendid address and brought
the meeting to a close.
M. S. Rice. President of Marcus
Loeb and Co., of Atlanta, accom
panied Mr. Marx to Covington
and was the guest of Mr. Haas.
Other guests present were: Gus
Sessions of Atlanta as the guest of

guest of John Birchmore.

The Seniors of P. H. S. are
still in the spotlight this week and
being one myself, I can't resist
the temptation to give hem big
build-ups ni this column. The class
night program came ovc~ big on
Thursday night with everyone
having his share of fun. After
the program, the P.-T. A. enter
tained with a reception . ,. Some
of the gifts the seniors gave each
other were really knockouts! . . ,
The Seniors want to express their
thanks in this column to James
Ratcliffe for his sweet remem
brance of them, and to Mr. Law
rence Burke for the many nice
things he did for us. I don’t think
any class in any high school has
been any more honored, respected,
accommodated and loved as the
Senior Class of 1940. We thank
you nice people—all of you—each
and evei-y one.
More Prattle: Much interest was
centered on the Conn-Bashinski
wedding on Thursday night. With
this interest goes best wishes . . ,
Speaking of weddings—when this
column comes off the pr.ss, Chris
tine Kite and Clarence Capell will
be Mr. and Mrs. To this Senior
and his bride go our blessings . , .
