J .M- jl g, !f fl iffy AXLJWQ54' 'A' 'A' Early last year the Industrial Service Com- mittee, headed by Mr. Farnsworth and con- nected with the local Board of Commerce, worked hard and long on a project entitled I Live in a Democracy . This project set forth an account of the contribution of the community to the ex- istence of the nation. It explained how in- dustry operates and how. it has become and will continue to be an integral part of the democracy in which we live. These facts could apply to any community in the nation. They were designed to include every phase of American life - management, labor, and capital, and producer and consumer - and to show in a down-to-earth manner how our system of enterprise operates and why it is superior to other systems. In its first approach the committee con- centrated on high school students, for they represent the plant managers, doctors, scient- ists, workers, and constuners of the future, and they therefore should know the story of American enterprise. The students were con- ducted through two of Manistee's major in- dustrial plants, the Morton Salt Company and the American Boxboard Company. On these tours the economical principles of the two industries were explained to them. On the adult level the program was car- 8 -Q. . Q42-affeefa ried on by Dr. Preston Bradley, a noted Chi- cago pastor and radio commentator, who was an honored guest at many men and women's meetings throughout the city. In a dynamic manner he put across a new mean- ing of democracy to many people. This program was continued throughout May, but did not end there. Manistee is still carrying it on, only under a new name - Americanism . ' Last November Senator Homer Ferguson of Michigan gave several energetic addresses before large audiences in Manistee. He ex- plained democracy further and also showed how conditions are in countries controlled by undemocratic governments. In january Noel B. Fox also spoke to the citizens of Manistee. He made -pertinent recommendations as to how we can further our democracy and continue our grasp upon our American ideals. ' In February and March six local speakers appeared in the city and county high schools to again explain in detail to the students all the phases in our way of life. ,- Throughout the rest of this year other speakers will talk to the people of Manistee County and other activities will be partaken in to get everyone to appreciate this great American freedom.
