Frankly Speaking | By Frans HvAWTti Some six or so weeks ago a lend of mine started telling e about the John Birch Socie- I never heard of it before at time, but by now every te has heard about this or- 1 tnization and almost everyone, ts formed an opinion one way I ■ another. A definite opinion, j ne doesn’t take the John Bit ch ociety with a grain of salt.; o middle of the road opinions j ■ganization. Some people have! tiled for an investigation of the >hn Birch Society, and > ■= under says he would welcome ich ah investigation. He say. would disprove charges that le society is dictatorial in na ire. On the other hand, ho ants only members that believe i him and are willing to accept is leadership. The founder r; a ex-candy manufacturer narr- I Robert Welch. The name o' ahn Birch, by the way, refe - a man who is said by some i be the first casualty of the i lid war. This has never been | (WVen, but the fact that Birch' ■3B a missionary and later a i toll!genee officer makes him j ncrful enough as a guide-post. | tholgh it’s not known wheth-1 1 Birch himself would’ve roved of the methods of tb ■ iciety bearing his name. The iciety, founded in late 1958, ad dues of $25 a year for men. alf that for women. The ulti late goal is a million members ad a million dollars to help its ork. Its aim, fighting com unism, is, of course, admir )le, but its methods are ques-; »ned, even by those who ap-. bve of the rudiments of the ganization. The John Birch 1 iciety has attacked, either as mmunists, or tools of the mmunists, such people as Su eme Court Justice Warren, rmer Presidents Roosevelt, ■uman and Eisenhower and ith John Foster and Allan Lilies. These attacks, particu rly those leveled against Eis- ( ihower, proved 'too much even.' r many political figures who,j one time, backed the late, ena to r Joseph McCarthy, elch’s exact words, regarding senhower, were these “ . . . rm belief that Eiesnhower is a idicated, conscious agent of the ommunist conspiracy.” Welch Good Reading [for the whole Family •Mins •Facts •FaraDy Features *——— —— ghHMIon Scktnct Monitor [«M Norway St. Barton 15, Ma* [ ini your nUmnpw far tho time -«hockod. tnrtcood find my chock or pb.ir«L ■EE*:.

Does the family have avail able in the home some reading resources the child can use, such as a good encyclopedia, and good general interest read ing material? 6. Does the family attend cul tural programs, go to concerts, visit museums? 7. Does the family read aloud occasionally? « Any parent who answers “yes” to fewer than four of; these questions has some home work of his own to do, says Dr. Fox.

Speaking 6f I those who've had their say ■ aboiut the John Birch Society, * Richard Cardinal Cushing, the famed Massachusetts Catholic leader, at first endorsed Robert < Welch, then later backed down somewhat, claiming that Welch was; “speaking absurdities.” On c that subject, Welch says that the big American defense budg et against the external threat of communism is itself part of < the communist plot. If that’s a little hard to make out, check Senator Barry Goldwater’s 1 statement that he disagrees ' with many of the theories of the Birch organization, but he agrees with the people who ex pound those theories. As of this writing, the Birch Society has been getting a lot of publicity, pro and con. Will it become a powerful organization, or will it I just peter out? Only time will tell. Right now it’s creating a big stir, due to its being the first time this country’s ultra conservatives have been organ ized in any way. However, even many conservatives feel that the society has gone to the extreme in its name calling. Thus far ( nothing constructive seems to I have been done by the John t [Birch Society and it’s felt that' not too many Americans will • | follow the dictates of the ex candy manufacturer who de | mands that John Birch Society followers, quote: “accept my leadership.” It seems too dic tatorial in nature and the peo ple of this country aren’t in the j mood to be dictated to by any- I one. j Closing thought: Character [is made by what you Stand for; ieputatipn by what you fall for.
