being questioned. For the first time,
in our lives we are having to con-1
sider what this precious heritage of
ours, handed down to us from free-1
dom-loving ancestry, means in terms
of our everyday life.
We find it has many means famili-
lar to all of us:
—small things, such as the right to
play football in a vacant lot sim.
ply as a pastime.
—large things, such as the right of
the individual worker to belong
or not belong to a trade union.
—personal things, such as tiie right
of citizens to join organizations
of any kind they wish—so long
as they are not aimed at destroy
ing our precious Constitution.
—vital things, such as the right to
free speech and a free press.
And beyond theise—the right to
home life within the State; the right
to spiritual belief and the freedom
to exercise it in church, chapel, syna
gogue or mosque.
All of these freedoms rest on the
tripod of those great freedoms—one
If'g of which is representative democ
racy; another civil and religious lib
erties; and the third, free business en.
tcrprises. All three must be sustained
if our personal freedoms listed above
are to be preserved and the sound
of boys playing football continue to
be heard throughout the land in fu
ture autumns.

THE MAN WHO C.VME BACK
Editor, The Pilot:
Kickers will kick. A few weeks
ago a tall wiry individual with a
peripatetic Adam’s apple and a reek

with the inquiry, "Be you a Yankee?”
"Yes,” I admitted, "I suppose I am.
I was a Yankee t)orn and a Yankee
bred, but when I die I’ll be a Tar-heel
dead. Why?" "Well, he replied, "1
