Glenn Sees 'Roll
Call' Aidina
Freedom Tenets
VALLEY FORGE, PA-Col.
John H. Glenn, who Is heading
the 1966 Freedoms Roll Call
campaign from Feb. 14 through
Feb. 28, said today he didn t
believe Communism could be
a threat to the United States as
long as people understand Am
erican Democracy.
"Despite draft card burn
ings, protest marches, teach
ins and other anti-Government
demonstrations, voices that
speak for freedom are stron
ger than ever, "declared the
retired astronaut, now a bus
inessman. "The Roll Call is a
reminder, however, that we
must never let down our
guard."
Col. Glenn, first American
to orbit the earth, called upon
all citizens to "speak , act
and think" on behalf of the
democratic processes. He
said the awards program of the
Freedoms Foundation at
Valley Forge, which sponsors
the annual nationwide Roll'
Call, brings more and more
entries each year - a total of
some 1,500,000 in 16 years.
Some 30,000 awards of cash,
medals, citations and "pilgri
mages" to historic Valley
Forge, where Washington and
his army spent rhe Winter in
1177, have been made to indi
viduals, teachers, school sys
tems and civic and patriotic
organizations.
Col. Glenn announced this
year's Roll Call slogan would
be: "The more you use free
dom, the longer it lasts.
The Roll CaU, now in its
sixth year, is intended to alert
every citizen to his rights and
duties in a free America.
Freedoms Foundation at
Valley Forge responds to ev
ery request for a copy of its
Freedoms Handbook which
tells what citizens can do.
Freedoms Foundation, fou
ned in 1946, is conducting a
$7.5 million drive to complete
by 1970 an American Free
dom Center and patriotic sh
rine, a complex of nine build
ings, and a Congressional Me
dal of Honor Grove. This year
the foundation hopes to com
plete a $1.5 million George
Washington Building, compa
nion edifice to the existing
Martha Washington Building,
a Hall of Records for the
Medal of Honor Grove and a
residential hall to house stu
dents, teachers, writers and
researchers participating in
Foundation's seminars, pro
grams and workshops.
