AUGUST 27, 1947 - How to Fight Bigotry ?2.00A YEAR (S» * There is no' substitute for positive action in the battle to keep America free of racial and religious prejudice. What happened recently in St. Petersburg, Florida is a good case in point. In late years anti-Semitism in St. Petersburg has not been merely latent. It has been deeply rooted. It took outward form—Jews barred from membership in civic groups like Rotary, Kiwanis, and the Chamber of Commerce — many cases of vandalism—hate signs placed on Jewish-owned stores—threatening letters sent to Jewish citizens. Encouraged by all this, many of the professional hate propagandists in the country found their way to St. Petersburg. To make the situation worse some people in the city—who really had no sympathy with the intolerance practiced there and who knew how destructive ta American ideals it is—were afraid to act. But the time came only a short while ago that some younger citizens of St. Petersburg took the offensive for Americanism. First off they campaigned for a mass rally which was to be addressed by a nationally prominent speaker. It was not an easy campaign. Rumors began to be circulated and anonymous letters written levelling false charges against the speaker. This expression of opposition was reduced to' nothing when the identity of the individuals responsible for spreading the rumors was exposed. After that represents*- wIseTSft shop^and ives of ministerial groups, veterans' organizations, and city officials were invited to take part in the rally and the City Manager accepted an invitation to introduce the featured speaker. The ST. PETERSBURG TIMES editorially urged support of the rally and clergymen, veterans, and businessmen added their voices to the growing chorus of approval. The Results ? 900 people packed the auditorium where the rally was held. More than 100 others were turned away for lack of space. The results? Real and honest Americans, prominent in all walks of the community's life, found their voices and, for the first time in years, spoke up in unison for America. American 'democracy had won a victory —- as it always does when it is fought for with courage and wisdom. What the people of St. Petersburg did people of all American communities can do. There are more on our side than against us—as we find out when we act positively and with courage. Labor Day Problems Green Twp. Fair To Be Heid September 13 The Green Twp.

Mrs. O. M. Wallace, the Thank Offering secretary will deliver a r*. Rbsage and devotions will be in charge of Mi-s. Charles Howes.

As ordinarily observed, it is mainly a day of recreation and happiness, in which people drop their ordinary occupations and engage in favorite enjoyments. The occasion encourages discussion of labor problems, ancl , is a time when many suggestions are offered as to what can be done to. improve the lot of the country's workers. Prob- bly the most important objective among the problems oi labor, is to accomplish regularity of employment. _ The industrial depressions which from time to time have plagued the country and have thrown millions of people out of work, have been the greatest calamity which the workers have had to face. These depression have wiped out the savings of millions of families. A great number of people have lost their homes as the result of such unemployment. _ People have been less able to provide education for then- children. Industrial depressions make it hard for a great number of young people to get a start in life at their chosen occupations. ..,■-, -j j ,%, One of the most important subjects to be considered m Labor day discussions, is as to' what can be> done to. Prevent A.such depressions in the future. When faithful labor feels JRsure of its-job, and when business has reason to feel confidence in its success, the country makes progress, and all elements are rewarded for their effort. t^^^i ^ Forming Public Opinion ' Many persons seem to take a rather hopeless attitude about the progress of events, and wrong conditions of which they complain in the United States and elsewhere. They feel that these situations are so vast and complicated that the individual citizen can do little or nothing about them. There is something that every individual can do, and that is to help in forming public opinion. Most people were willing and glad to do what they could to help on the war effort, by performing: such tasks of cooperation as were within their reach. Now they can help in the great task of forming wise and practical opinions in the minds of the public. Public opinion is all powerful. When the people clearly want some policy pursued, they get their way sooner or later through their power to elect officials who will carry out their desires. If people will keep well informed on questions of politics, m- government, international affairs, etc, they will exercise in- ™ fluence. People will listen to them when they express their views. They may say they can reach only a limited circle of persons. But if all the good and sensible folks make a like effort, they will sway the country, and many mistakes will ,. be avoided. It is a helpful thing if people interested in public affairs will bring up such subjects frequently in their .own circles, ^ = and in the organizations to which they, belong. In that way be""Ray Sumser,"Red wmaman, they get a chance to express their ideas to. many persons, and - - - • ir>- - their influence spreads. People render a public service when they express intelli- gent ideas to small or large circles, through the public press,' ™er baekfield man, seniors, and or in public gatherings.

?2.00A YEAR
(S»
*
There is no' substitute for positive action in the battle to
keep America free of racial and religious prejudice. What
happened recently in St. Petersburg, Florida is a good case
in point.
In late years anti-Semitism in St. Petersburg has not been
merely latent. It has been deeply rooted. It took outward
form—Jews barred from membership in civic groups like
Rotary, Kiwanis, and the Chamber of Commerce — many
cases of vandalism—hate signs placed on Jewish-owned stores—threatening letters sent to Jewish citizens. Encouraged
by all this, many of the professional hate propagandists in
the country found their way to St. Petersburg. To make the
situation worse some people in the city—who really had no
sympathy with the intolerance practiced there and who knew
how destructive ta American ideals it is—were afraid to act.
But the time came only a short while ago that some younger citizens of St. Petersburg took the offensive for Americanism. First off they campaigned for a mass rally which was
to be addressed by a nationally prominent speaker. It was not
an easy campaign. Rumors began to be circulated and anonymous letters written levelling false charges against the
speaker. This expression of opposition was reduced to' nothing when the identity of the individuals responsible for
spreading the rumors was exposed. After that represents*- wIseTSft shop^and
ives of ministerial groups, veterans' organizations, and city
officials were invited to take part in the rally and the City
Manager accepted an invitation to introduce the featured
speaker. The ST. PETERSBURG TIMES editorially urged
support of the rally and clergymen, veterans, and businessmen added their voices to the growing chorus of approval.
The Results ? 900 people packed the auditorium where the
rally was held. More than 100 others were turned away for
lack of space. The results? Real and honest Americans, prominent in all walks of the community's life, found their
voices and, for the first time in years, spoke up in unison for
America. American 'democracy had won a victory —- as it
always does when it is fought for with courage and wisdom.
What the people of St. Petersburg did people of all American
communities can do. There are more on our side than against
us—as we find out when we act positively and with courage.

observed, it is mainly a day of recreation and happiness, in
which people drop their ordinary occupations and engage in
favorite enjoyments.
The occasion encourages discussion of labor problems, ancl
, is a time when many suggestions are offered as to what can
be done to. improve the lot of the country's workers. Prob-
bly the most important objective among the problems oi
labor, is to accomplish regularity of employment. _
The industrial depressions which from time to time have
plagued the country and have thrown millions of people out
of work, have been the greatest calamity which the workers
have had to face. These depression have wiped out the savings of millions of families. A great number of people have
lost their homes as the result of such unemployment. _
People have been less able to provide education for then-
children. Industrial depressions make it hard for a great
number of young people to get a start in life at their chosen
occupations. ..,■-, -j j ,%,
One of the most important subjects to be considered m
Labor day discussions, is as to' what can be> done to. Prevent
A.such depressions in the future. When faithful labor feels
JRsure of its-job, and when business has reason to feel confidence in its success, the country makes progress, and all elements are rewarded for their effort. t^^^i ^
Forming Public Opinion
' Many persons seem to take a rather hopeless attitude
about the progress of events, and wrong conditions of which
they complain in the United States and elsewhere. They
feel that these situations are so vast and complicated that
the individual citizen can do little or nothing about them.
There is something that every individual can do, and that
is to help in forming public opinion. Most people were willing and glad to do what they could to help on the war effort,
by performing: such tasks of cooperation as were within their
reach. Now they can help in the great task of forming wise
and practical opinions in the minds of the public.
Public opinion is all powerful. When the people clearly
want some policy pursued, they get their way sooner or later
through their power to elect officials who will carry out their
desires.
If people will keep well informed on questions of politics,
m- government, international affairs, etc, they will exercise in-
™ fluence. People will listen to them when they express their
views. They may say they can reach only a limited circle of
persons. But if all the good and sensible folks make a like
effort, they will sway the country, and many mistakes will
,. be avoided.
It is a helpful thing if people interested in public affairs
will bring up such subjects frequently in their .own circles, ^ =
and in the organizations to which they, belong. In that way be""Ray Sumser,"Red wmaman,
they get a chance to express their ideas to. many persons, and - - - • ir>-
- their influence spreads.
People render a public service when they express intelli-
gent ideas to small or large circles, through the public press,' ™er baekfield man, seniors, and
or in public gatherings. They help in the great task of form- f^ the pivot
mg public opinion.along helpful liBes.
