"Hopeful Signs"
by Laura B. Gaye
Within the past few months some modestly hopeful signs have
sprung up. Study groups have come forward; the John Birch Society is making
itself felt in a great many Communities. The study groups I know are
concentrating on Cardinal Cushing’s “Questions and Answers on Communism''
because it is one of the most unbiased and frank discussions on the subject, as
well as a guide for proposed action against the CommUNist line.
A number of individuals, at their own expense, have
purchased film projectors and are showing the film "Operation
Abolition" and "CommUNism On The March." Schools, church, groups
and organizations can book these films at no cost. The John Birch Society is
making a tremendous contribution to educating the public on CommUNistic
propaganda. Their membership is nominal, it hardly seems like a membership fee
at all. Women only pay $1 per month and men $2. The information sent fellow
members is worth ten times this amount. It has set off a letter-writing
campaign in defense of the House Committee on Un-American Activities. This
action is the first evidence of patriotic Americans answering the CommUNists’
campaign for withdrawal of this worthy Committee. However, if we pause just a
moment, we realize that these activities, splendid as they are, form only a
meager beginning. Think of the years we have been asleep and the long period of
Red pressure on official Washington, State and Local Governments. They have
become old hands by now, with domination of one third of the Earth's surface. But,
never underestimate the power of true Americans... once they start rolling,
like the snowball, it soon becomes an avalanche. This is one time it will show
how much perseverance we possess. Heroes are not born, they emerge from fire,
and because they do not give up with the first signs of battle. What Can I Do?
This question has been put to me many times so, (with our Editor's permission)
it is this: The mere fact that you have questioned yourself means that you are
on the way to your particular part of the answer. You will be amazed how
quickly God opens doors for you when you are motivated by determined hope, not
gloomy despair. Everyone watches TV and when a program is slanted, it only
takes a sheet of paper and a 4c stamp to write the producer and remand him of
his obligation to the public. Or you may have friends who are not aware of the
"great push" to brain-wash America, for an easy take-over. Talk to
them, one idea begets another, soon you will be a real booster for America.
Read and do more reading. Be sure it is the right stuff. At the top of every
list should be J. Edgar Hoover’s "Masters of Deceit."
