Show Kiwanis Club Sponsors Project to Keep America, American Contributions Made By Club Members To Place Before People The Importance Of Maintaining The Democracy Of This Country The Kiwanis club, under the direction of E. A. Strong, president, presi-dent, has adopted a project of "Keep America American," and through this project they hope to inspire the people of this vicinity with a deterimnation of keeping America American. The theme of the project and its importance will be explained through newspaper advertising, direct mail, bill boards, radio, placards pla-cards and numerous other means during the next three months. In adopting the project, the Kiwanis club members hope to emphasize five major objectives and around these objectives will evolve the themes for carrying on the project. They are: That it is every free American's right to worship God in the manner he chooses and according ac-cording to his own conscience and understanding. That free speech and freedom of the press are foundation stones of the democratic way of life, and should be defended against the onslaughts on-slaughts of those who might wish to abridge or destroy them. That freedom of opportunity must be nurtured and preserved so that the American sons and daughters may continue to enjoy the right to achieve their ambitions, ambi-tions, according to their wishes and capacities; that an individual's destiny is his own to shape and establish. That America's children may continue to enjoy the parental love and wholesome happiness of the family, supplemented by freedom of education which admits the whole and undistorted truth about the world in which they live. : That America shall ever be the land of hope, the model of democracy democ-racy . . . "The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave." The Kiwanis club points to the facts that our boys are fighting to keep America American, and they want to come back to the America they left, their homes, churches, schools, their service clubs, their friends, and buddies. The ywant to come back to their jobs and take up where they left off. They want to be able to carve their own future in their own way, unmolested. To remind us all of these things and the importance of keeping them as they are, is the motive of the project undertaken by the club. Contributions made by various club members will go toward advancing ad-vancing general information on the project, one form of which will be in advertisements to appear ap-pear in the Herald from time to time. |
