Below is reprinted a message from. Merrill ' Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc., members of the . New York Stock Exchange, which was loaned us by a Marshall businessman. The message is so impor tant that we are using it as an editorial : WE TAKE OUR TEXT FROM NIKITA KRUSCHEV "A Communist," he said in his report to the Cen tral Committee on February 14, 1956, "has no right to be a mere onlooker." The free world may deplore the methods used in the U.S.S.R. to insure the participation of its citi zens in the plans of the Kremlin. But no one can de ny that Kruschev, after ajl, has put his finger on one of the strengths of dictatorship and one of the weaknesses of democracy. In our democratic society, you have the freedom of choice to be either active or passive, a doer or an onlooker, as you please. You may choose simply to stand and watch the world go by. That is your priv ilege, and no one can penalize you. ' But if there is no law compelling you to be ac tive, no dictator telling you that you must take your place in the ranks and sending you to Siberia if you don't is there not at least an implied moral ob ligation to be a participant rather than sitmply a spec tator - a moral obligation with a force far greater : than a dictator's rule? By definition, democracy is the rule of the people, and there is no rule when the people shirk their responsibilities. v. Remember the sense of common purpose that we all shared in World AWar II, whether we were fight ing or doing defense'1 work or helping the Red Cross : or planting a victory garden? In wartime, most of us accept the necessity for action and act. But when At i ... V A J A , J7 J. , tne necessity grows less urgent, we veuu o xorge, . how stimulating it is to be active in a worthwhile cause, how satisfying the resulting sense of fulfil ment. Instead., we fall back into the old habit of le " ting George do it. . , . - -, " Occasionally, a Presidential election stirs us cjut of our atiathy. and we work v for the party and the ""randidates we favor or at least take the trouble (to vote. But after it's over, too many of us slip, back to the complacent role of the onlooker. There are manv Americans who regard citizen ship as a sinecure, reluctantly paying taxes but mak ing no attempt to influence what is happening in the government and the community. - Others are too fastidious or too phlegmatic to e . spouse a cause and work for it. Still others fear in volvement and prefer to stay on the surface of things, shunning commitment but reserving the right to crit icize. They are living phantom lives, wasting both fthe unique opportunities for action afforded by our democracy and their own potentialities as hulman beings. - ' Thatr willrncrlir rtav Hr BOrviro tft triA two Tjrin- ciples of conduct that motivated our founding fath ers -do your part and do your best forgetting that operative world in each case is do. Intention, resolu tion, decision, determinatioiH-these are not enough. No one will take the thought for the deed. There is credit and Very little satisfaction in standing on the sidelines.

The Gudger Building on Main Street in Marshall, one of the town's oldest landmarks, has been razed and it is expected that a parking lot will soon take its place. The twostory building, built over 100 years ago, was formerly the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Will Gudger, parents of Mr. Roy Gudger, of Marshall. In recent years part of the building has been used for a business office and part as a residence.
