United States government, and our hand in government today. The earliest immigrants or settlers were drawn here in a search for religious freedom, found it and passed the heritage on to us. So, although we have not earned freedom, we must guard it by eternal vigilance. Research revealed that basic religious values and concepts were “the very soul and conscience” of early government. In recent years there has been much discussion and various attempts to undermine these values and concepts through a complete separation of church and state. Many forces are using subtleties and propaganda to get a hand in government today and religious leaders are being urged to "peaceful coexistence” with these forces Mrs. Mock indicated that all need to be conscious of caution by leaders of the past for "eternal vigilance” for protecting the freedom of all today. Mrs. Mock concluded the program by recommending that everyone read J. Edgar Hoover's book "The Enemy Within." She invited all to browse, select from or get ideas for further personal research and enlightenment from a table of literature which she had prepared. Refreshments and a social time followed the adjournment of the regular business and program.

MILFORD Library Holes By MRS. DONN KESLER Attention Mothers! If your preschool child needs something to do while the older children are in school, keep him or her busy decorating eggs for our Egg Tree. It is now the center of attraction in the childrdh’s room. How do you make an egg suitable for the tree? Simply make a small hole in each end of the egg; shake or blow out the contents. Rinse the egg and dry thoroughly.

Remember to bring in your decorated eggs to help us have a beautiful tree again this year.

Help Your Local Girls! Camp Fire Girls in the' Syracuse area are getting out the vote in an effort to capture the largest share of the ColgatePalmolive Co.’s quarter-million-dollar “Help Young America” Campaign, now under way nationally. The unique program offers $200,000 to five national youth organizations according to the results of a nation-wide balloting, with an additional $56,000 to be won by local clubs. Mrs. Richard M. Nixon, . honorary chairman of the “Help Young America” Campaign, calls it "an innovative and sweeping approach to the encouragement of constructive youth activities.” In addition to Camp Fire Girls, beneficiaries of the “Help Young America” Campaign include the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Boys Clubs and Girls Clubs of America.
