Redden Calls For Return To Americanism O More emphasis should be placed on Americanism and democracy and the virtues of our own govern ment should be impressed upon our school children, Monroe M. Red den, twelfth district representa tive in Congress, declared in a press release issued today. The complete statement follows: "We know from experience that the things learned by youth are long remembered. "In this unsettled world where all kinds of ideologies are playing an important role in molding fu ture opinion and present action of world governments, I believe a little more emphasis on American ism and Democracy and the vir tues of our own government should be impressed upon school children. It is deplorable to me that our children attending the public schools are in some in stances permitted, if not required, to listen to lectures on Commun ism by those whose every hope and effort is to overthrow Democracy in America. “Occasionally in high schools and colleges we find high ranking members of the Communist Party of America invited to deliver lec tures to students, under the guise or pretense that this is America where freedom of speech and ac tion is permitted under our Con stitution. I wonder if the framers of our Constitution ever dreamed that its provisions would authorize anyone to stand up and advocate the destruction and overthrow of the very government its provisions created. At any rate, such action on the part of the Communists has become promiscuous throughout this country. We find them in the Halls of Congress and in many branches of our Government, all preaching the doctrine of Com munism, which has one goal in America, viz., to overthrow this Government which has stood the test of a century and a half and has met the needs of the people of America. “Before the Committee on Un- American Activities in the House of Representatives of the United States appear frequently present or previous members of the Com munist Party. They testify very often that their sole endeavor is to bring about confusion and unrest in America so that the people will rise up and adopt a Communistic government. They even admit be ing trained in Moscow and paid I well for their services by the Com munist elements. “I wonder how long the real patriotic Americans are going to remain complacent about the dan gers all this is bringing about. It can only be prohibited by the peo ple, and unless they are willing to and unless they are willing to do whatever is necessary to stamp out those who foster this poison ous ideology, we will awake one day to find ourselves engulfed and overpowered by these enemies of America. “Just recently in North Caro lina, at one of our outstanding educational institutions, where a Communist leader spoke, she said proudly that there were more Communists in America today than there were in Russia in 1917 when the Communists brought on a revolution and overthrew the government. “Believing that it might be of j some value, I am sending to every ! 1947 high school graduate in my district “The American’s Creed.” I hope it will impress them of the need for continued faith in our i form of Government, for constant alertness and for personal sacri fice, if we are to continue to en i joy freedom in America. DR. KING TO BE HEARD AT FRIENDSHIP CHAPEL A series of evangelistic .meet ings will begin at Friendship Chapel on June 15 under the lead j ership of Dr. Robert King, pastor of Montreal church.

Wear A Memorial Poppy Saturday o “Honor the war dead and aid the war’s living victims,” will be the theme of the annual obser vance of Poppy Day here Satur day. Every person in Black Moun tain will be asked to wear a mem orial poppy Saturday and to make a contribution for the welfare of the disabled veterans, their famil ies and the families of the dead. Preparations for Poppy Day ’ were being completed today by a ! large committee of American Le ' .gion Auxiliary women, headed by Mrs. C. E. Keith, poppy chairman. Volunteer workers from the Aux iliary and cooperating groups will i he on the streets at an early hour' j Saturday distributing the poppies and receiving the contributions. The Girl Scouts will assist in I the poppy sale. “All the money contributed by those who wear poppies in memory of the war dead goes to aid the w"»rs’ living victims, the disabled veterans, their families and the j families of the dead,” Mrs. Keith i I said. “The dimes, quarters and I dollars dropped into the contribu tion boxes of the volunteer poppy workers are the principal source of support for the continuous re habilitation and child welfare work of the Auxiliary. “The Government does much for the disabled but the Government cannot do everything. There are many veterans and veterans’ fam ilies which do not come within the legal provisions for compensation. There are many others whose com pensation is too meager to meet their needs. There are many fields of service into which official agen cies cannot reach and there the Auxiliary goes with aid made pos sible by the poppy contributions. “These are our disabled veter ans and dependent families. Their sacrifices were made in our de fense. Poppy Day gives us all an opportunity to do something for them ourselves, to help them a little as they pay in suffering and hardships for our war victories. The human cost of war is so un equally divided among us—some paying so bitterly while most of us pay little or nothing. Buying and wearing a poppy shows that we, at least, recognize and are grateful for their sacrifices.” RUTH aleshire sails FOR DUTY ON GUAM Miss Ruth Cory Aleshire is sail- j mg today from San Francisco to ccmplete her assignment with the American Red Cross at Guam in the Mariannas. She has been ad vised that her next assignment will be in Japan beginning in the fall. | Miss Aleshire will soon have served two years at her present station.
