FEELS PAPER IS MEMBER OF

The hometown sun—is

A letter to the editor of the
(Iowa) Register, brings this point
home. It said: “You were here over
50 years ago and you will find in the
files of your paper a report of my
birth. Your paper also had stories
when I played football in school, when
I graduated and later when I mar¬
ried. You have reported many anni¬
versaries in our family, the birth of
our four children, their activities in
school and elsewhere. And in late
years you have reported the arrival
of our children. Why, you and your
paper have written and printed a life
history of our family. And why
shouldn’t we look upon you and your
paper as a member of our family?”
Yes, the local newspaper is the re¬
corder of the life of- a community—
business, personal, political and na¬
tional. Being a constant subscriber is
a good habit to acquire because the
local paper isn’t self-perpetuating support as
is the sun. It needs your even

YOU CAN DO THIS!
J, Edgar Hoover, FBI director, has
given the American people, in a recent
special report, the detailed plan con¬
ceived by the Communist international
conspiracy to mobilize the explosive
strength of American college youth to
use as an instrument toward achiev¬
ing Communist goals within our na¬
tion. The Reds are working on our
youth with propaganda and agitation.
Mr. Hoover has snown the extent of
the danger by giving us a detailed re¬
port on how the Reds manipulated
11011 -Communist college students to
create a riot at the San Francisco
hearings of the House Un-American
Activities Committee — and actually
halt the hearings. detail the
Mr. Hoover gave us in
comprehensive Communist plan to
reach and influence students on college
campuses throughout the nation. A
vast flood of skillfully prepared prop¬
aganda publications already is reach¬
ing college campuses, and young col¬
lege student zealots carefully trained
in Communist training schools are at
work. In my column last week I asked
the question: “What is being done to
counteract this intensive Communist
activity?” And 1 gave the answer,
‘Not much.”
Understanding Needed
What can an individual citizen do7
This question is being asked every¬
where.
Here’s what you can do:
1. Study and obtain an understand¬
ing of Communism and how the world¬
wide apparatus is working to destroy
our nation and rule the world. Do this
immediately; it is one of the most
important tasks you have, if you wish
to remain free. Write for our National
Education Program catalog of educa¬
tional materials. Write your Congress¬
man for a copy of Mr. Hoover's re¬
port, “Communist Target — Youth.”
2. Study and obtain an understand¬
ing of the American way of life —
our capitalistic economic system, our
constitutional government, the history
of our .unmatched progress. Educa¬
tional material on all this is listed in
our NEP catalog.
Teach Your Children
3. Be sure your children have an
understanding of Communism and
how the Reds works to attract youth.
This is your responsibility in your
home. Go to your local school officials
and see that they know the facts and
are transmitting those facts to the
children in their care. We have a
series of classroom movies for this
purpose; good ones are available else¬
where.
4. If there is a college in your area this
go to the president and discuss
problem. Show' him a copy of J. Edgar
Hoover’s report. Ask him to read such
books as “ Collectivism on the Cam¬
pus," by E. Merrill Root (Devin
Adair, N. Y.), “The Naked Commu¬
nist," by W. Cleon Skousen (Ensign
Publishing Co., Salt Lake City, Utah),
former FBI official; and some of the
materials listed in our catalog.
Dedication Necessary
5. Demand of the President of the
United States, the Secretary of State,
the Senate Foreign Relations Commit¬
tee, and your representatives in Con¬
gress that our nation immediately es¬
tablish a foreign policy based on Godly
moral principles and supporting free-
GIRL’S FATHER SUES, ASSERTS
SWIMSUIT IS TRANSPARENT
A father asked $25,000 in 17-year-old damages
Monday, charging that his
daughter was humiliated when at
bathing suit she bought became trans¬
parent the first time it got wet.
Claude C. Rogers- filed the suit inf
Fulton Superior Court in behalf o£
his daughter, Linda Rogers, against:
R. H. Macy & Co., doing business a$
Davison-Paxon Company. paid
The petition said the girl
$16.98 for the white bathing suit afc
Davison’s and had no knowledge that;
it would become transparent when it
became wet.
She wore it on an O’Keefe High
School senior class outing to Ida
Cason Callaway Gardens and that’s
when the transparency incident oc¬
curred, the suit claims.
While she w'alked along a beach,
someone tossed her into the lake.
When she got out of the water, tha
cries of her female companions called
her attention to the fact that the suit,
had become transparent, “exposing
plaintiff’s nakedness.”
She had to get back in water up to
her neck and remain there until some¬
one brought her a towel to cover her¬
self, the suit alleged. This caused hex
great mental anguish and caused hex}

barrassment, 1 added. — Atlantal

dom for all mankind—to replace the
policy of “co-existence with evil. De¬
mand that our nation take the offen¬
sive in the “Cold War” with the objec¬
tive of victory over Communism.
G. Become politically active in the
party of your choice. This will require
sacrifices but it is an obligation of
citizenry that cannot be delegated tc*
some other person — if you w r ant to(
remain free.
7. Join a citizen group dedicated to(
upholding American principles ami
resisting Socialism-Communism. Give
some time each day to its objectives-
8. Obtain, through purchase OB
rental, the filmstrip, Communism on,
the Map and show it to every grouj*
you can reach in your community.
9. Exemplify in your character and
in your citizenship activities that
Christian virtues upon which any free
society must be built and preserved.
10. Pray to God Almighty every dayj
for guidance in performing your mis¬
sion as a child of God and your dutiej
as an American citizen.
