Elks Lodge Salutes Freedom of Speech
And Press in Week-Long Observance
Palmer Elks lodge No. 1842
is observing Freedom Week
Jan. 14-19, saluting freedom of
speech and of the press. Exalt
ed Ruler Ben Caho announced j
recently. Freedom Week is eele- j
brated by Elks lodges through
out the country as part of the 1
positive Americanism program
of the Benevolent and Protec
tive Order of Elks.
“We think that in the strug
gle with communism too much
attention has been paid to what
we are against and we are in
danger of losing sight of what
we are fighting for and why
we are for it, “Exalted Ruler
Cabo declared. “During Free
dom Week, we hope to bring
home to the people of our com
munity a fuller realization that
freedom of speech and of the
press are the basic freedoms on
which our whole way of life
depends.”
Special tributes are paid dur
ing Freedom Week to newspap
ers, broadcasting stations, mag
azines and books and to the
men and women engaged in
these areas of communication.
Plans for the Freedom Week i
observance were drafted by a
committee heaced by Louis
Burcher. Working with him
was Ben Hudgins
The Elks leader said that j
freedom of expression is the
essential difference between j
our way of life and all totalitar- j
lan societies, a difference that
is pointed up by our right to
speak and to publish, to listen
and to read, to agree or to dis
agree.
‘'This freedom is working
every time we read a news- j
paper or magazine, listen to the ]
radio, watch a television pro- j
gram, borrow a book at the li- '
brary or buy one at a book
store," Exalted Ruler Cabo de
clared. “It gives our citizens the
means to protect their freedom,
and it is the reason for the suc
cessful working of our politi
cal, social and economic institu
tions. This is what we are fight- j
ing for in standing against com
munism's effort to destroy us,
and through Freedom Week we
hope to strengthen the spirit
of American patriotism, here in
our own community, for ulti
mate victory over the enemies
of freedom.”
