This Type Element Not Needed

A meeting held last Thursday night in North Liberty, billed as a “Viet Nam SpeakOut” evidently turned out to be quite some gathering. The meeting was sponsored by the Michigan Committee to End the War in Viet Nam. From reported sources (as this newspaper was not informed of this meeting I reports that basically a lot of nothing happened in about two-and-one half hours. The speaker for the group. Rev. Milton D. Willford, executive secretary of the St. Josph County Council of . Churches, left little to be understood and less yet that made sense in a lengthy talk that included about everything except anything pertaining to the subject at hand. Following constant heckling N^rom the audience which filled the building extended out the door to the sidewalk outside of - the North Liberty Community Building, the group finally got * down to some decent order and 5 questions that supposedly were 2to be answered. To the dismay of those present, most questions weren't answered with knowledgeable answers, but • more on the double talk and ‘ uncertairT side. The eventual .■ results was that no one knew f when it was all over just what a had happened. I The details of such a mect- | ing as this are basically un- ! important with such a conducted meeting as this one turned out to be. It seems that the ££Uhp is made up consider- | ably by students at Notre * Dame.

the war in Viet Nam. Thousands of American lives have less battle and to add to this, been lost in this almost sensemillions of dollars of the taxpayers money is being used to continue the war that many feel isn’t being fought to be won. However, these Americans are the ones who really deserve the tag of Americans. They differ considerably from the protesters that will protest anything from work to support of the country, these whose greatest claim to anything is starting trouble of one type or another. Americans support their country! It was interesting to see the response of the American Legion Post in North Liberty at this meeting. As everyone knows, an American -4-egion Post is made up of men who have served in the armed forces during .combat periods and many had friends, relatives and fellow service -men --sacrifice their lives for their country. Each and dverydne was Willing to lay Iris life*down or,’they wouldn't have Sum in the'service doing the all in support of their country. Legion Post.' can be among those people most criticized for-. ditfen-nt activities and actions, but |t it weren't for 4he.se sain> legionnaires, y<i«i might not have the happy hMie you ha|' today.

What a pleasant surprise it might be to those defending the rights oi our country to know that they had the support of all back home instead of such an asinine dem mstration as this.
