F -flirtation?" COLUMBUS, OHm ^^Vffim 1-957 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.

Durkin, chairman of the campaign. The goal was $4,000 and 700 members. Mr. Durkin voiced his thanks for all who took part in the drive, and for the cooperation received from the community.
