Significantly, this suppression and censorship was done in the name of freedom of speech. The second problem is that this action also stiffles freedom of the press. The news media was denied access to this information and consequently could not report on the action of a congressional committee, nor could it help to expose the revolutionaries, Communists, and subversives who are using the structure and campuses of this nation to destroy it. Again, this suppression and censorship and news management was done in the name of freedom of speech. This is a case of censorship and judicial bookbuming equal to the actions of Hiller and Mussolini. m The Giving Of Thanks of the University is merely a figurehead who is totally impotent for effective action of any kind. He wasnt even able to fire a teacher when he felt there was sufficient evidence and justification to do so. Are we to continue to have to subsidize the University of Utah by having tax dollars forced from us in an amount? Are we going to continue to be forced to pay to educate our young people to hate their parents, lhir God and their country? Is there anyone in this state who will even so much as lift a finger to put a stop to the type of education going on at the U? If there is not enough manhood in the whole state capable of bringing about a change whereby teachers teach instead of indoctrinating with lies and revolution, then the communists will have their revolution and freedom will be overthrown. But if this occurs, it will not be because the enemies of freedom are stronger in numbers, it will be because there is no one who really seems to care. ever-increasin- g constitution. The Pilgrims faithful leader and governor, William Bradford, once wrote that thus out of small beginnings greater things have been produced by His hand . . . and as one small candle may light a thousand, so the light here kindled hath shown unto many. With the first harvest the Pilgrims offered a divine thanks. They invited 90 Indians, among whom was Chief Massasoit. The Indians and the Pilgrims forgot their differences, and they joined in a three-da- y celebration on that October of 1621. It was the first Thanksgiving celebration in America, and the beginning of an American heritage. CHRISTMAS SPECIAL $6.00 Per Year (Reg. $10) nobsarSbe Today THE UTAH INDEPENDENT Box No. 6274 Salt Lake City, Utah 84106 July 30, 1623, was set aside as a Thanksgiving Day by Gov. Bradford. The Revolutionary War saw eight special days of thanks observed for victories and protection from certain perils. Nov. 26, 1789, became a day of Thanksgiving by a proclamation from Pres. Washington. Some states hereafter observed it as a holiday, while others did not. In 186(3 Pres. Lincoln, greatly efforts influenced by the of Mrs. Sarah J. Hale, appointed the fourth Thursday of November as Thanksgiving. In 1939, Pres. Roosevelt made 30-ye- ar time of reflection and gratitude and Praise to our beneficient Father as Lincoln once said. This was a day set aside for remembering the heritage we have been entrusted with, realizing the sacrifices of others for what we now enjoy, and for giving thanks for the abundance of this land. Here is a land, that is free, a country never overrun by an enemy, a nation established to allow us to speak, write and live as we please.
