Freedom's support ers created counter-terms, "Vir ile, dynamic democracy." To give his interpretation of "Dynamic Democracy," the Weil lecture committee asked Dr. Clarence Dykstra to deliver the '43 series of lectures as one of the outstanding events of the April 8-16 Institute of Human Relations.

When Riggsbee arrived at the fire he found some unknown man attempting to pull a bed from the burning house. Rushing past this man he found Greta running to and fro inside the house, try ing to escape the flames. Ran to Porch Picking up the child with one arm, Riggsbee ran to the porch and set her safely on the ground. Outside" he grabbed a tin' tub ly ing on the ground and using this to put over his head he started back into the house. But the draft caused by the open door had increased the fire. As he stood on the porch Riggs bee's arms and hands were singed by flames from inside the house. Despite this he managed to get within ten feet of the two children lying on the bed. Pitiful Sight "That was the most pitiful sight I've ever seen," said Riggs bee. I could see the children cry ing for their mother and trying to get away from the flames but I couldn't get to them. The tub on my head was so hot I couldn't stand it. If I had gotten to the fire three or four minutes earlier I could have saved all three chil dren." The two children killed in the fire were Caroline Edwards, 18 months old, and Frederic Ed wards, three years old. Mrs. Mollie Edwards, their mother, had left the children alone when she went to work at the Naval Hospital. Greta, the rescued child, says See DTH, page 4 nation's top political scientists, , is "well-equipped to apply reason to the vague term, make of it an outline for the future of democ racy in the post-war period." Even before America's entry into the war Dykstra held down important government posts. He headed America's first peace time draft as Selective Service director from 1940-41, resigning in March of that year to chair man the newly created National Defense Board.
