OLD PEOPLES HOME
Mr. Herbert Mayberry took Mr.
Mason Devereaux Sr. and Mr.
Mason Devereaux Jr. through the
recently purchased Elks Lodge’s
Old Peoples Home Sunday after
noon, June 29.
Both men expressed their plea
sure over the progress that has

THE DECLARATION OF
INDEPENDENCE—SOME
THING TO LIVE BY
THE COMMON DEFENSE .
Some Americans have forgatten
what the Declaration of Independ
ence says and what it means.
Some of them think that the only
people in America who have any
rights are the people of their own
religion—or their own race—their 1
own nationality—or their own
class. They stir up prejudice
against Americans whose race or
religion differs from their own—
keep them from getting a ood ed
ucation—keep them from working
at jobs they can do. This is not
what the Declaration says. This
is not what it means.
Just the same, most Americans
do remember fhat the Declaration
of Independence says and they ar8
fighting every day to make Amer
ica live by its truths.
'That al men are created equal.”
All men. That’s what the Declara
tion says—“all men are create0
equal.” They all have the same
kind of life—the same soul—
created by th* same God and Fa
ther of all. They all belong to the
same human creation. Not one of
them anywhere belongs to the
animal creation—or the vegetable
—or the mineral. They are all
equal in what makes them men.
They must be so regarded.
“That they are endowed by their
Creator with certain inalienable
rights”—rights that belong to all
men in the same way that their
arms and legs do—iven to them by
God as their arms and legs are—
not given to them by the State.
4 Rights which they must have to
fulfill heir duties and to develop
their talents. The right to speak,
print, worship, work assemble and
mary and educate their children,
which belong to them equally—the
Protestants. Catholics, Jews,
whites, Negroes—to all men.
That’ That's what the Declaration
of Independence says. We must
respect human rights.
“That to secure these rights,
governments are instituted among
men deriving their just powers
from the consent of the governed.”
The Government has a part to
play. It’s to see that men—not
some men, but all men—have the
opportunity to enjoy their freedom
and their rights. Government's
part is to serve the people from

whom it gets its auhortity to rule.
The Declaration of Independence
says that, too.
We want the world to know it.
We want every nation to know
that America is a country which
lives by these truths. Fir it’s im
portant that America should be
hat kind of country. Because to
day—on this July 4, 1947—much
of mankind is not free. They look
to America. Dare we fail them?
From seven workers to 250, from an annual
volume of $80,000 to an annual volume of
$3,000,000 — that’s the record of the Cyclohm
Motor Corporation, Long Island City, N. Y.,
according to figures just released. Even before
the Federal Committee on Fair Employment
Practices was launched — six years ago this
month — Charles Wohlstetter, Cyclohm’s ener
getic president, was producing war materials,
with men and women of different races, creeds
and ancestries working together in perfect har
mony. Today, his plant is converted to peace
time use, turning out generators and radio
equipment; but his employment policy remains
the same.
Employees born in ten foreign countries work
alongside old line Americans. White and Negro;
Catholic, Protestant and Jewish; native-born and
foreign-born—if they have skills the plant can
use, they’re hired. It’s the job they do that counts.
Cyclohm wouldn’t do business any other way.
