C. Open Forum COLUMN FOR THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE DO WE APPRECIATE FREEDOM? There are two answers to this question—“yes” and “no.” Nat urally there is an innate, inborn, and inbred love for freedom in the bosom of every rational be ing. This is a God-given right and no individual or set of indi viduals have a right to curtail this right so long as this right is not abused. It is not too much to say that every person is entitled to all the freedom that he is cap able of using. This presumes that liberty is not licensed, and that when it is used as such, then restraints must be used. One thing is ha'd to under stand: why oppressed people will fight and gain their freedom and then fail to take advantage of blessings derived therefrom. Because of England’s arbitrary rule we gained our indt pend enee. By so doing, we are guar anteed freedom of the press, free dom of conscience, freedom of speech, etc. Here in North Caro lina we have a FREE public school system; free books; free transportation, and various ‘free’ things. All children are not only allowed to go to these schools, but are solicited to go. But many refuse to go unless forced to do so by law. This is strange but true. If many children were forbidden by law to go to school their parents, who are now re luctant to send them, would go on the war path. They would carry the matter to the highest tribunal in the land. (‘‘What strange creatures we mortals be.”) This is illustrated in the story of a depositor who had heard his bank was about to break and demanded his money. “Yes sir,” said the cashier, starting to count the money. “W’y, has you got it?”, asked the depositor. “Yes sir,” said the cashier, “Well, if you has.” said the depositor. “I don’t want it.” If we didn’t have free public schools a great clamor would go up. But since we have them many people do not appreciate them. Personally, I do not agree with the whole set-up of the school Miss Ortiz, Dr. King Wed Jan. 1 On Wednesday morning. Janu ary 1, at 10:30 a. m.. Miss Myrta Ortiz became the bride of Dr. Robert R. King, Jr., at the Jamts I. Vance Memorial Presbyterian church, Boone, with Rev. J. K. Parker officiating.

Dr. J. Y. Joyner. Charles B. Aycock and others plead so strenuously that every child in North Carolina should have an equal chance with every other child: and since the system is uniform and the mam burden is upon the wealthy, there is no good reason why every parent should not cooperate to the full est extent, and not subject them selves to the violation of a law which is designed to safeguard the interests of their children throughout life.
