Citizenship, A Dignified
Status. Met With Dignity
——~“
+ Republican government pre
fer^ 'generally to get along with
out the uniforms, the stiff form
alities, the pageantries, which
have in the past been associated
with monarchy and today are
part and parcel of authoritarian
government.
But there is such a thing as
being too casual about even re
publican government and its re
sponsibilities. A little ceremonial
conducted on a democratic and
informal level, is sometimes a
good thing in reminding citizens
of the dignity that goes with their
Citizenship.
That is why it was interesting
to watch the ceremonies held in
Manitowoc, Wis., last month. On
that day. Manitowoc tried out a
scheme to impress on new citi
zens the dignity of their newly
acquired status. Practically ev
ery young man and woman in
the county assembled in the high
school bowl overlooking Lake
Michigan.
There more than 700 of them
formally took their places among
the electorate of the republic
by repeating after Chief Justice
Marvin B. Rosenberry a solemn
oath to support the constitution
of the United States and of their
state. Bands played, flags whip
ped the breeze, the state gover
nor spoke and presented to the
chairman of each of the 38 cit- j
iaenship classes a “certificate of
electorship” for his group.
Five months of preparation j
went into the making of the
ceremony. County and municip- j
el officials business men and >
school teachers conducted the!
classes by wards and townships, j
following an outline of instrue-1
tion that was the dream of Dr.
R. J, Colbert of the University t
of Wisconsin for many years. J
Justice Rosenberry commented j
that “there are today in the!
world literally millions of peo
ple who would g:ve everything
they possess for the privelege of
calling themselves American cit
zens. We who are bom under the
flag should be equally appreciat
ive.”
“We have finally succeeded,”
Dr. Colbert sad, “in dramatiz
ing citizenship in such a way
that practically everybody is be
coming citzenship conscious. I
feel that we have in our hands
here an idea that can, if pro
perly handled, be developed into
the most healthy movement that
ever took root in our country.”
It might well be so. To be an
American citizen is in today’s
world a privilege and a mark of
dignity. To approach the priv
ileges and the responsibilities of
that citizenship in a dignified
and conscious manner instead of
merely sliding into it unheeding j
should make for better citizen
ship. And better citizenship is, in j
the final analysis, the best hope j
for this or any other country.
No nation, no country, no sys- j
tern, can rise far or stay long
above the level of its citizenship.
This Wisconsin group has gone to
the very heart of the future of
free government.
Hiter demands a road 15.5
miles wide across the Polish Cor 1
ridor. Maybe that extra five-1
tenths is to take care of Goering.'

PLANE LIKE CAR
EXCEPT FOR WINGS
BURBANK. Calif. ^)-^Except
for its wings, a plane developed
by one of the b.g aircraft com
panies here looks very much like
a large autqmobile. It is power
ed by two in-line engines instead
of the radial type usually used
on planes.
The craft is designed for pri
vate use and will sell for about
$27,500.
A college diploma is nice, but
wouldn’t it be cheaper if dau

and pet at home?
