By HERBERT H. LEHMAN
United States Senator
from New York
So many things affect a man’s
philosophy and his life that I
find it difficult to out into words
my personal beliefs. I hesitate to
speak of them publicly for fear
of giving the appearance of
pr .aching.
Two convictions, however, 1
believe have more than any
others influenced my thinking
both in private and in public life.
First, commonplace as it may
sound, I am convinced that what
we get out of life is in direct pro
portion to what we put into it.
Second. I must respect the opin
ions of others even if I disagree
with them.
Throughout my long a n d
rather busy career I have always
held firmly to the belief that I
owe life as much as it owes to
me. If that philosophy is sound,
and I believe it is. it applies, I
hope, to all my activities—to
my home, to my daily work, to
my politics, and above all things,
to my relationships to others.
Life is not a one-way street.
What I do. what I say, even
what I think, inevitably has a
direct effect on my relationships
with others. I am certain that in
the degree that my attitude to
wards others has given convinc
ing proof of loyalty, sincerity,
honesty, courtesy and fairness.
I have encouraged in others the
same attitude towards me. Re
spect begets respjet. suspicion
begets suspicion, hate begets
hate. It has been well said that
“The only way to have a friend
is t.;> be one.''
None of tVm blessings of our
great Am rican heritage of civil
liberties is self-executin’. To
make effective so ’h tilings- ax
broil . k sym
pathy, human d< ••• n.cy, • free
dom of opportunity, tne v
pr< giousn ss of life -to .
these tilings n al r-'cv.i ’- rrct
and constant vi.. i':.,tee. 1 'is is
the core of my American I'aitu.
i . I eliev< I must
help to safeguard to all men free
expression of their views ev n
though I may bo in disagreement
with them. I must listen to and
study responsible views: some
times I will learn much from
them. No individual and no na
tion lias a monopoly of wisdom
or talent. When an individual or
a nation becomes soli’satisfied or
complacent, it is time, I believe,
to be deeply concerned. He who
closes his ears to the views of
others shows little confidence in
the integrity of his own views.
There can be no question with
regai d to the inherent rights of
Americans to enjoy equal eco
nomic opportunity in every field,
to s cure docent living condi
tion.'-. adequate provision for the
moral anti spiritual development
of their children, and to free as
soeiation with their fellow men
as equals under the law and
equals in the sight of God. Tlmse
rights can be safeguarded and
advanced only wh. re men m;/y'
think and speak freely. I reject
a fundamental princple of de
mocracy if I seek to prevent a
fellow citizen of different back
ground from fully expressing his
thoughts on this subject which
is very close to me. 1 think that
we will have good r asorr for op
timism about the future of the
American ideal as long as men
can and will say, without fear,
what they believe.

'PL AY DAY' ANOTHER FIRST
IN SEWARD WITH VISIT
OF GIRLS FROM THE NORTH
Another “first time in the his
tory of Alaska” was enacted in
Seward last Saturday, and this
time it was accomplished by the
kids.
For the first time, teen-age
girls traveled by Matanuska Val
ley Line bus from Palmer and
Anchorage to Seward to be
guests of the local high school
Gills Athletic Association (GAA)
for a “play day.”
The girls, 20 from Palmer and
24 from Anchorage, arrived by
bus, accompanied by chaperones,
late Saturday afternoon. The vol
leyball contest planned was not
played because of the late arrival
of the group, but the girls sub
stituted a doubL -header basket
ball game in tin* Civic Center.
The ball game was followed by
a dance at the high school at
tended by high school students,
both boys and girls, and alumni.
The 14 visitors were quartered
in private homes, one home hous
ing 1 1 girls, another six. “So as
to keep them company,” some
of the local girls also stayed with
the larger groups No report on
the amount of sleeping done was
available!
The visiting girls exclaimed
at h o w "primitive” Seward
looked with its old buildings and
chuck holes in the streets. Local
girls, having driven over Palmer
streets and outlying Anchorage
areas in recent months took ex
ception to the "primitive —and
the debate was on. Whether the
question was ever settled is un
known.

How To Put New Life
Into Old Paper And
Metal Roofs. There’s no
time like now tor money-saving
action on your roofing-paper
and ''tin” roofs. It's so easy 10
preserve your roof, keep it cool
er with Standard Aluminum
Asbestos Coating.
Here’s the routine we recom
mend for brush application:
t. Clean roof thoroughly.
2. Inspect for defects; if badly
worn, re-roof.
3. If roof is secure, patch major
holes and tears.
4. Stir Standard Aluminum
Asbestos Coating thorough
ly and apply with roofing
brush.
5. Use long, easy strokes. One
or two strokes over a given
spot cause the material to
flow out to a natural thick
ness. Further brushing re
sults only in '’balling" of the
coating.
Standard Aluminum Asbestos
Coating actually adds years of
service to roofs. Call us about
it today. We’d like to show
you the service that has helped
us grow in this locality.
