“To Bigotry, No Sanction” . . Four words . . but for George Washington, Father of Our Country, they summed up the spirit of “America which he fought to make into our United States. ■ . I . . lt.is fitting that Brotherhood Week, observed in all- parts of our land from February 20th to i " 26th, be calendared to embrace his birthday. ' ■ ... On this occasion we dedicate ourselves and we urge you to do the same, to promulgate-the spirit of tolerance which prompted the Father of ii Our t'uiitry to )x>n these four significant words: "To Bigotry. No Sanction." It is fitting during this Brotherhood Week—a week of understanding—to mention the important position of your friendly tavern owner in your community. At times he might be by ibg very few who abuse the privilege and right of teniporate indulgence in friendship and good k fellowship. He should no more be judged by these few than those who would judge the church around the corner by a few of its members or a nationality by a few of its leaders. Let's work together in trying to understand each other and help make a better community.
