Mrs. Hedgeman'a plea for the per

favorable response from the va

and the speaker waa suured or

Among the organizations hear

the multiciplicity of tasks
committed to her care.
We discover in life, and
in our local communities,
that the stelfar service ren

to one who humbly serves,
said services that may be
measured in worthwhile ac
complishments are casually
accepted without any
thought of the spoken or
Hence. It may take the form oi
hoodlumism. vigilante action or
terror. Recent incidents directed
at Negroes. Jews. Japanese, Mex
icans and Filipinos have a clear
relationship with the Nazi philos~
ophy of hate; the difference is
only in degree.
