"What Can I Do?” Is the ques-
tion asked most frenquently. It
will take the combined efforts of
political, church, educational, and
civic leaders with a gigantic ef-
fort on each individual’s part to
combat this danger. How? Choose
political leaders carefully. Go to
Church, go for other reasons than
to show your new hat or suit, or
because you just think its your
duty, go because you want to and
like to. Go, and work for God
as you have never worked before.

S nation must be composed of citizens ubo are
free to think for themsehes In no other way un
people fully utilize their imagination, resoum-ful
ness and capacity for progress. The freedom to
explore new ideas is one of the basic freedoms.
When filtered through a sound code of morality
the good ideas are separated from the bad. not
immediately perhaps, but in time to prevent serious
damage There is a collective wisdom in the nun
mind that no group ol intellectuals, however
coosucnuous, cm equal.
Communists believe:
To be strong and enduring
a nation must be controlled by intellectuals who
instruct the people in thinking in accordance with
government policies. The mind of the masses is
curious beyond its ability to understand the true
nature- of what it is exploring. Free thought leads
to dangerous conclusions not in keeping with com-
munist dostrme. while controlled thought builds
national unity and makes communist countries
invulnerable to the outside influences of (he peo>
pie of free nations.
ETERNAL VIGILANCE IS THE PRICE OF LIBERTY
