WE WILL WIN!
OKLAHOMA CITY — Amer-
ica is going to win the victory for
freedom. My confidence in this
achievement has been hard hit at
times through recent years but
there are inspiring signs today
showing that greater and greater
forces are being mobilized to
strengthen and safeguard the
structure of American freedom.
This is not a reference to our
successful space satellite or the
shocked awakening to the men-
ace of world Communism which
the Russian sputnik brought to
millions of our people. The en-
couraging signs we’re talking
about are more fundamental and
far reaching.They are signs boil-
ing up from the grass roots, from
people all over America.
Here in Oklahoma City, 115
busy, important people, from a
region embracing Texas, Kansas
and Oklahoma, gathered recently
for three days at Oklahoma City’s
first Freedom Forum. Central
Christian College which is build-
ing a brand new college plant
here, co-sponsored the Forum
with thte National Education
Program. By popular demand
of the 115 conferees and the in-
dustrial and educational leaders
of the area, the CCC forum is to
become an annual affair.
School Workshop
A feature of the Forum was
an evening session devoted to
ways and means of bringing
American citizenship education
—showing among other things
the advantages of the private
ownership economic system—to
the school children of this whole
mifit-continent area. There were
46 educators among the 115 con-
ferees. Thev were enthusiastic
about the citizen education ma-
terials presented at the Forum.
Th'^e materials included five
course outlines for high schools
—American History, American
Government, Civics, World Gov-
ernment, and American Econ-
omics. They also included class-
room movies dramatizing the
facts about our economic system
and our constitutional Republic.
The educators included many
high school principals, school
system. superintendents, class-
room social science teachers, as
well as college professors and
college heads. They snapped up
the citizenship course outlines
like hot cakes. Many of the
school administrators took suf-
ficient quantities to distribute to
all teachers in their senior high
schools. They expressed grati-
fication for the guides and the
material recommended in them.
The Vital Need
This is a wonderful sign tes-
tifying to an awakening patriot-
ism and an awakening sense of
urgrency in the vitally necessary
goal of bringing a better under-
standing of the American way of
life. For more than 20 years I
have been saying that if we are
to preserve our priceless herit-
age, our unique economic and
governmental system, the chil-
dren of America must be sold on
its advantages. The structure
of American freedom will not
survive just because it is right
—unless each oncoming gener-
ation understands it and cares
enough about it to resist the
forces that will always be seek-
ing its destruction.
The citizenship course outlines
have gained the attention of par-
ents and teachers throughout the
nation1—and their response has
beer^. another of the inspiring
signs/1 strengthening my confi-
dence in the future of our coun-
try. Hundreds have been mail-
ed to schools in all sections of
thfe /lation, where it is hoped
they will help form the basis for
a well organized course. Thus
ultimately millions and millions
of children will be reached with
a better understanding of our
American way of life.
Joining Up
Here are some of the school
poeple, persons and organizations
that have written for the course
outlines: Dover City Teachers’

ron and is stationed at Dover,

American air bases in that coun-

Guest speaker A. D. (Bud)
Koge was introduced by Bob
Eitelman, manager of Green-

Koge, manager of

ville, pointed out
growth is inevitable
and stated “your success in obtain-
ing industry (in Leonard) will
depend upon your long range
plan for adequate housing, good
schools, good churches, making
vour town more beautiful and
a better place to live.
He also said the Chamber of
Commerce should exercise lead-
ership in our community and
told of the problems of adjust-
ing personnel to the rapidly
changing conditions in industry.
He believes the Chamber of
Commerce could, by exercising
ladership in adult training pro-
grams, render a needed service.
“If you are to keep industry,
Koge said, “you have got to
have people with the 1______
how to fill industry’s needs.”
