HENRY FORD'S 7~ Mnnpi)\ ITTOPTA One of the noblest contribution? of Henry Ford, the world's great est industrialist, has been the re habitation of the lives in the Ways, Ga. community where hr has attempted to establish a mod el Utonia. :?:?: 7?? ? I. C. Chpnn, staff correspondcnt for The Pittsburgh -Courier has spent sometime~jn the Ford's community, on his 86,000 aero farm where almost all of the raw material for the Ford car i ? grown; he visited the schools built by Mr. Ford, and saw the new building being erected for th<700 Negroes and whites who live without a race problem in this ideal community. The race proV lem has been erased. - In his story last week for the Courier Mr. Chunn said: - jyinrrrying?oilt^ his philosophy^ that one group of the population - cannot be prosperous and enjoy a better life unless all groups share in the general economy, Mr. Fore has esl&RMUfH'll U laifci ImiU school here* -for the Negro community in which the students arc taught the same academic and v0* cational trades as the whites. The school has been named after Dr. George Washington Car vtr, famed Tuskegee scientist whom Hr Ford calls the greatest , living scientist. Here no an 86,000 acre track df lanti Mr. Ford is conducting an experiment in embining the agrrculture and industrjiil life of the community into a richer economy for the entire population and th.' results have been highly satisfac L_ tnryllv. ~ In this small community lives 700 white and colored people, in |. complete harmony. Every family ' bea4 i* employed at a- decent Uv|* ' " 'r" ^tge on the farms of at some skilled trade. J. F .Gregory, farm t manager, says he is not bothered with a race -problem heeause all the people are neighbors? Mr, Ford hair always jdonlt fair !v 'y with Negroes and this is not only shown on the farm but at flip Detroit plant where more Ne , aawww??we gr0 workers are employed than any other automobile factory in America. Students in the trade school are given elementary courses and training in carpentry, masonry slice metal fabrication, machinery cabinet makmg and modern meth oils of farming. Students come not only (from the farms,but the entire, surrount' ing community and they are~patd salaries while studying that range "torn twenty-five cents to $1 a. '.our. ? ?-~--? The social life of the colore.! ommunity is. centered around th? school and a church -where all de "dminations worship. The conv nunitv is self-sustaining; and pre vides for every need of the penpie. OUR BASIS OF FREEDON Hy?Dr. Charles Stelslo :rt^fh~rTtTese'<T)efitoirs" times when onntry-aftar coimtrv is being ta:ei: over by enemies from within nd without, it should inspire A lericans to recall the basis o f heir freedom The first three ords of the' Constitution?"we he people"?deelare by what. ?Uharxty the. United States (if Auerica is ruled. The Constitu-ion_ nojt only prescribes the kind f government which shall hold he -United States together, but t limits and defines the powers f the government itself, making he people's liberties secure aainst oppression fYoni every icurce. J The first ten amendments t o he Constitution are known as the till of Rights. It is the purpose f the Bill of Rights to restrict lational power, so that these ights should not be taken.away 'rom the people. Their main rurpose is to give "the' people auhority to maintain their natural i.chts. Certain restrictions are ilaced upon citizens for various easons, especially in some States nit in no case may the Federal government establish such t+ietions merely upon the basis -?#- color, and, by another amendnent, State governments are simlarly j'estrained. * The Bill of Rights includes mch principles as freedon of religion, freedom of speech, freelom of the press, the right of the teople to peaceably assemble, and .he right to petition the Governnent^for a redress of grievances; he right of the people to be selers, and effects, and against uneasonable searches and seizures. - Jefferson and Franklin heaved such rights "came from the Veator and that thev arp derived 'rom the laws of the universe ithas been crushed is that belief mtlawed. This desire for freedom 's inherent in man. Patrick Heny's declaration "Give me liberty >r eive me death" finds an echo n every true man's heart. It is his for which America made its iupreme fight in its beginning. * "hnd it is for this that the people vili continue-to fight-^mtil -they hall achieve that freedom which vil 1 give them the fuller li|e.4bey " lesire, the hunger for which is_ planted in every-man's heart by . he.
