Voice Os The People

In regards to the Voice of the People column of last week. I would quote Barnett W Breedlove, state treasurer of the Legion and a member of the Alcoholic Beverage Commisuon; “All the good will created by their (American Legion* civic activities can be destroyed by violation such as the u-e of gambling equipment . . . all of the good works will be of little value if posts show disregard for gambling and liquor sale regulations . . . you can t talk to kids about good citizen-hip if you don't show good citizenship yourself." There is a dangerous mode of thinking within our community which goe■; something like this: ‘lf it is a good cause, then it is legal . . . the end justifies the means." This is dangerous thinking because it is not true To violate the law of a socety for a "good cause" is to create a lawless society, create a lack of respect. within the ranks of youth •nd adult, for authority'. I agree with the above statement of the Legion treasurer Barnett W Breedlove It is true that an organization can destroy all its good by flagrant violation of the laws of society. What is true for organizations is a- u true for our Christian Brethren A Chn ' an can destroy

This will be just reward for the six men who have put this fob of helping the town as one of their foremost sights this year. The success they have may have a very strong bearing on the industrial future of the town as having something to offer and showing progress in this direction is the surest ‘-tep in getting where they are headed. This is being accomplished by "That SomeDung Extra" they have given.

his good witness, and the good done by a church, with open violation of the law of society and public disregard of the will and wi hes of Jesus Christ. It is true that a community with all of its youth councils, youth buildings, etc., will count for nothing, in the face of adult violation of the spiritual, moral, ethical and civic laws of society. Does it make sense: 1. Point out the dangers of smoking, and yet sell packs to any child? 2. Talk of the problem of Alcoholism as we recover from a wild party? 3. Talk of the need of honesty, while we shade our tax report or pull strings for a traffic violation? • f | 4 Does it make sense to expect young people to stay home while the adult does the town, attends this function, that func5.
