And today’s war is more tragic than World War II was for the American people, for much of the war is being waged inside the United States. Twenty years ago, the enemy was outside. Today he also op erates within our gates. He has had some very successful Trojan They must understand the nature and the methods of the enemy. To be an alert American against state socialism within, one does not train on a drill field. One trains by reading and by joining together with other con cerned citizens to study books that explain how the communitsts and their secret sympathizers work. And when a citizen has learned how the leftists carry out their campaigns in lecture hall, press, pulpit, and textbook, then one must be active. In the course of every congressional session, there needs to be pressure groups for America There must be citizens who will write and wire their congressmen and call for con servative legislation and a halt to creeping socialism in American government. There needs to be citizens who will be informed and outspoken against the muzzling of patriots, for example There must be oth ers who will protect against New Frontier plans for a socialist elec- as head of the PC Reserve Offi- Worses, cers’ Training Corps.

The war in which Americans are engaged is a struggle between state socialism and capitalist freedom. Battles in this war in clude such open struggles as Cu- ab and Katanga and the less well understood battles of books, speeches and legislative action. Every time a piece oi socialist legislation gets through Con gress, the United States loses a battle. Every time a leftwing professor, arguing against atom ic bomb testing or against a free enterprise economic system cap tures the minds of some college students, another battle is lost. If America is to survive and win the battle against state so cialism, it will have to be because of the home guard—because of dedicated citizens who give of their time and energies to in form themselves and others as to the issues facing this republic. The United States needs mis siles, bombers and submarines to defend its shores. But military hardware is no defense against the pocket-size book on a news stand rack, a book that presents capitalism as a decaying sys tem. Tanks are no weapon against the leftwing columnist or the broadcaster who smears Western nations and presents ev ery vest-pocket Afro-Asian dicta torship as the new wave of the future Divisions of troops will do nothing to prevent leftists from infiltrating the most sacred of American institutions, the churches that carry our religious heritage. Alert Americans at the grass roots are the first line of defense in the United States today. And like all good troops, in order to be effective they must be trained. of uprooting sociallxt-conanmnlg ideas fed into the stream of American life in recent yean, la every community, from hamlet to big city, the time has come for Paul Reveres who will make their fellow citizens to the danger of leftism within. * School District 5« Weekly Menu Chart For Week of January 8-1* MONDAY Milk, grilled bologna, steamed cabbage, white acre peas, corn bread, butter and cherry pie.
