Religion, Press Freedoms: God
Religion and Press Freedoms have the same source:
God.
In any consideration of the relationship between Freedom of the Press and Freedom of Religion, it is well to beg n
by determining where these, and all our other freedoms
such as Freedom of Speech and Assembly, have source.
S:>me have contended that the state is the sole originator and dispenser of such freedoms; others that they derive
from the people themselves — resulting in as many variations of "freedom" as there are people. Amer.c n law and
tradition, however, rejects both of these theories and f. ai'k y
and explicitly recognizes God as the ultimate source of all
rights and the necessary i'rce.o.-n to main.ain and defend
these rights.
The Declaration of Independence states: "All men are
created equal . . . they are endowed by their (Jrea^o*
with certain inalienable rights."
Because Freedom of Re'igion and the Press have a
common source there is a definite relati nship betwe n them.
This relationship is noc on y u„tvveen each nuiv.dual fieeao.n
and its origin or orignator, but a'so between the freedoms
tnemselves, as complementary mc.a..s oi safegiaid ng ,hj
dignity' of- each individual, lt follows that such freedoms
entail great responsibilities. History; as well as current sit-
in other areas of the world, bear witness to the perversions
to wuich such freedoms can become subjected.
Perhaps religion has the greatest responsibility since its
function is. to establish and perpetuate the basic values upon
which all judgments and decisieiris should^'be made. Tne
necessary broadness of such a mission does not detract from
its reality, and such conceDts as the "brotherhood of man
under the .Fatherhood of God" need not be—and to Christian nations are not—mere empty slogans.
Certai,nly one of the most effective instruments which
condition the mind of man is the press, and because it is so
influential, its responsibilities are proportionately great. As
a,n instrument of truth it serves a noble purpose and contributes greatly in promoting the general welfare of people.
From these observations it can be seen that freedoms
not only assist one another in fulfilling their respective functions, but if properly used, also serve to protect one another.
This has been true since the printing of the first book
by any press. Gutenberg's Bible more than 500 years ago,
to the present time when the Bib'e outsells all other works
of non-fiction nature.
It is good to be reminded of these basic facts once in
a while, since it is easy to forget and lose sight of that "firm
reliance on the protection of Divine Providence" which cur
forefathers acknowledged >as the basis for American Democracy.
Program In Persia
Freedom of Religion is everybody's business. We soon
find but that any attempt to suppress religion is like a dis-
pease. It spreads and no one is safe from its effects. One
of the most serious epidemics of this sickness Was'showed
up in Iran with the persecution of the Baha'i faith.
Baha'i is a highly respected religion all over the world,
ln the United States. there are thousands of believers all
across the country and the temple at its national headquarters
in Wilmette, Illinois, is one of the most beautiful buildings
in this country. Baha'i members are among the most up
standing and substantial members in tneir communities.
In Iran Mohammedan Mullahs incited the mob to violence against members of the Baha'i faith with Inflamma
tory speeches over the government-owned radio-station. As
a result, the Baha'i temple in Teheran was desecrated, its
dome destroyed, the home of its prophet looted. Atrocities
were committed against women and children. Homes were
burned and crops leveled to the ground.
The Baha'is made an appeal fco the United Nations at
Geneva under the freedom of religion clause of the UN Declaration of Human Rights, which Iran had signed.
This is only the first step however. Baha'is in the
homeland of their prophet are forbidden to assemble foi
•worship. Over 600 centers have, in effect, been taken over
by the government of Iran.
Economic pressure has been placed on them. The government seems to be taking steps to have all Baha'is dismissed from their jobs if they will riot renounce the Baha'i
faith. The government may not w.ant them fco get slaughtered but it doesn't seem to mind too much if there is gross
discrimination against them. * •   _   '
The oddity of Iran's refusal to recognize Baha'i as a
religion is the fact that they are recognized as an independent faith in almost every other • country. World opinion
must force the government of Iran, to pay more than lip
seryice to the principles of the UN declaration, to grant the
Baha'is there legal freedom to worship in fact, as well as in
name'and to end such practice? as closing their places of
worsirip ;and denying them their j'afe.   "•.

Bicycle Thefts
arshall Smith
North Canton has been having its own bicycle thefts
recently and, although similar to the Canton thefts which
have been so numerous in the.past few weeks, seem to have
no particular connection with the Canton thefts. Marsha'l
Smitty was luckily tipped off a couple of weeks ago on where
the disappearing bicvcles might be going and found all ten
that had been officially reported as lost. The last one of the
ten was returned to its owner last Monday.
Four youngsters ranging in age from eleven to sixteen
have been blamed for all the thefts. The nn.M-leacler appears to have been a 15 year-old boy, who with his parents
recently nvived here from Canton.
I     The ten bicycles had 'oeen sto
lien from various places, includ-t
ing two from the swimming pool
sometime    in    August.    None of
! them were returned in the samei
condition  as  the  time  at  which
j they were stolen.     |
The four boy.-; hap+- dismantled -f'5
them,' taking   off   name plates/
baskets,   etc.   and  -had     painted
most  of  them   black.
, One of the bikes had been sold,
but was discovered and another
ha'd been given to a younger
boy, who was riding it back and
forth to school.
| None of the parents of the four
seemed to be aware of what was
going on. Most of the work of
dismantling and painting was
done at just one home.
i Five have claimed damages
because of the condition of their
returned vehicles but so far
only one has received any hope
of restitution.
I    The four boys, along with their
' parents, appeared in juvenile
court, Monday of last week, and
. were put on probation under the
care of Marshall Smitty.
The Marshall says that there
have been cases before where
a bike would be stolen and rid-
en a distance, but usually then
abondoned. This is the first case
in the community where such
bikes have been mutilated and
disguised.
