Community Auditoriuin, FREEDOM AND AN OPEN MIND This being an election year, the average American is how being subjected to a barrage of propaganda and ad- vice from public officials und candidates seeking pubtic office. In all this traditional American hokum, the Amer- ican voter must remember that an open mind and an ability to resist efforts to stir, his prejudices are neces- sary if he is to make an intelligent contribution in th¢ American election system. In the United States, citizens are free to read what «they please, write;what they please and to think as they These freedoms are enjoyed because this genera- tion's forefathers fought tor that:very individual freedom of choice whieh we sometimes take for granted. One does »not,have to trayel far to find areas where the citizen is not allowed to think, read or say what he truly believes. More important, in many areas of the world, .the .ayerage inhabitant is not given full access to the: truth, ’* has only a poor Chanée at best of receiving a full and lib- a eral education, and, therefore, is not mentally equipped -to decide the great issues of the day, _ = In the United States, however, our educational stand- _ards are comparatively high and. where the industrious individual can find the truth if he seeks it, there is little “excuse for narrow-minded, prejudiced views, whieh have var nosbasis in fact or reason. ’ wad oi This election year is an excellent time for you to ex- = amine your convictions and challenge your. accepted theories as a means of testing their true value. The: great ., difference hetween the United States and other democra- cies in the world, and dictatorial forms. of .goyernments and groups is that freedom of mind, individual liberty, -freedom of choice and the individual rights of human be-| “ ings are stressed above others. During the coming moriths, it may be hard to keep a cool head and a ratidnal ‘pers- active, but, for the best interests of the nation, the Amer- dean citizen should resolve to do his best to think out the “problems of the day in a fair, Open-minded manner. If » those in a democracy wil! do this, there will be no chance of failure in oursdemocratic form of government. A little success goes a long way with most people.

She was taller than they were because she had more land. And in her heart she felt that land war power, because she trusted acre. more than people. Scphistication and recognition were preity much new lo 64-year did Susan. Haughian when she cams here on a visit to Manhattan {sland from Montana. But they weren't as new as she made oul. Well, liké any ‘ofher stranger in town she kind of hung back about telling her story.. You know how fe:ks from out of town are—they can't help from believing that the resident rascals are plain waiting to ambush them and their dreams. Well, 1 am a local. yokel afd ? sure did waylay this country girl on her first sustained visit to the big city. She. was fun to’ squire around, and this was her story: * She was one of 16 children born in Ireland, and naturally she set- tled over here in a small. cozy ‘place like Montana. It reminded her of home—it ‘was so much }ig- ger. You haye to know the people from the old country to understand her land hunger. She and her man—Dan, his name was—started with 40 acres where that was an apology and a possi- n family did a let of pioneer- ing way ‘out West ‘where the ‘wird blows free and the animals’ graze when they can. Susan is pretty ; Proud of Dan for providing her ; with the first house in her lifetime | that had hot and cold running | water and the local. definition of central heating. g There also were five sons ‘and five daughters he gave her. Oi course it is hard to pick among children — in Montana or your town. But I don’t think Susan will ever forget her sixth. child, now known also as Susan and no more her favorite than some of the «th- ers today. Dan knew of course he couldn't get to a doctor-—they ate a long way off in Montana. and the coun- try isn’t shrinking. ‘Susan spread ja rug on the cold floor when the pains came upon her and hada formal birth and a fine daughter ‘all alone. Herother children wait- ed in another toom. She cut the cord of birth and blew warm breath upon the cold frame of her newborn ‘babe. . The neighbor woman that Dan brought said with the exultation of all ‘Women: ““T knew you would do it. T knew you would,” i .

She’s got the bail mon- ey ready for her herders when they come into town after six months or so in the hills. Ob, maybe there’s 1,600 cattle or so Now, and say 2,300 ewes and 1,400 lambs. But how abcut. that Spreading patch of Montana she of course now they are Sforcol that way out there,” said Susan cautiously. “You know T just have no respect for people who fib, I don't respect them at all. I suppose maybe we own or lease about 80,000 to 100,000 acres or more. And some beyond that.” ‘Pause. “But it was Dan first and then the children who are responsitle for—" said Susan, earnestly, the little old lady in broken spectacles. Somebody broke them by bumping into her since she came here. She said that, city ways aside, she had been well treated on Man- hattan Istand which is consider- ably smatler than 100,000 acres, which is more than 150 square miles. “Of course, the land here is more valuable,” she said politely, |Yooking around with no air of rebi | couviction at the nearest skyscrap- yer and added absent-mindedly : | “¥ou know, 1 once saw a cow jvrap her lews around her calf te _ keep it from treezing.
