Margaret Chase Smith .>f Maine in The American Press We are neglecting our freedoms j that our ancestors ’fought for, died j for and handed down to us. We are ! not exercising our cherished free-. | doms—and freedoms unexericsed ! may become freedoms forfeited. ; There is a general laxness that, grips our country. In that general laxness, we have two great losses—on (1) initiative and (2) public morality. One of the things that has made the United States the greatest and most powerful nation in the history of the world is just plain, individ-, ual initiative. Our ancestors had “initiative in abundance. It stemmed from their love of individual freedom. | We seem to have lost much of DR. RACHEL HINDERLITE i 'that traditional initiative. Cer-j tainly that is the case in world af-l fairs.

Miss Bernice Stroup, director of religious edu cation at the First Presbyterian associate'-pastor of the host 1 church. Charles R. Bradford, business man of Avondale Estates and Decatur, Ga.. and Dr. Rachel' Henderlite, professor at the Assembly's Train ing School, Richmond, Va. Dr. Henderlite -will speak on the topic, “Making the Bible the Young Adult’s Standard for Living To day.’’ Dr. Henderlite, native of Gas tonia, N. €., holds several degrees, has been prominent for several years in religious work, and has pin the blame for errors on ■each other and too little time and effort trying to put our 'shoulders ! to gether and correcting the tragic mistakes that have come from lack of leadership. We feel something like a person facing a deadly di sease for which there is no known cure. w The stark fact is that we must ! return to the traditional initiative I that once was so proudly ours. There is much concern these of World Missions. Training Course For Campfire Bluebird Workers just completed a year • in Japan* days over the seemingly -- low-state teaching at Kinjo college in Na-' t 0 which morality has fallen in gayo for the Pre'sbyterian Board j this country. What I think most of us need to realize today is that the difference between right and wrong is not i just the difference between black and white. There is a twilight zone of gray in between which we must mark out more clearly. For example, we have recently] seen exposed on the part of public! officials acts that are not unlawful.. They did not violate existing laws,! yet they were unethical if not basi- ^ cally immoral. They seem immor al to us, but apparently not to the actors. This raises the question of what causes concepts of right and wrong to vary in interpretatibn among people.. Certainly a major cause of any decline in morality is the sense of lack of security. But I believe that, as Americans, we have been j thinking in terms of materialistic security—of physical and economic! security. We have been thinking too little of spiritual security. Too many of us have forgotten the church and the Bible. We must return to them, for they form our foundation i for morality. National morality inj the desired degree will not come before a sense of moral rebirth in most of us individually. We hear much talk about con fusion and division in our country. There is confusion and division. Miss Corinne Moller, national field representative for the Camp fire and Bluebird organization, will be in Clinton March 24-27 to con duct a training course for leaders and sponsors. Any persons who are interested and ’care to attend the sessions are invited to do so. The following schedule has been planned: - Monday, March 24—4:30 to 10 p. m.

Surely, we must not become a nation of demagogues who lead mental mutes around with a ring in their noses. Today America has! too many people who have become! mental mutes with their voices sil-! enced because of fear of criticism! of what they might say. That is| moral cowardice. And moral cow ardice that keeps us from speaking our minds is as danjgerous to this; country as irresponsible talk. The most precious thing that De-j mocracy gives to us is freedom. You I and I cannot escape the fact that the ultimate responsibility for freedom is personal. Our free doms today are not so much in danger because people are con sciously trying to take them away from us as they are in danger be cause we forget to use them. Freedom may be an intangible, but like most everything else it can die because of lack of use. I repeat with emphasis, freedom unexer cised may become freedom for feited. 1 TREAT YOUR TIRED FEET TO REAL FOOT COMFORT i with Don't tobfat* aora, burning fMt.
