TOLERANCE IS NOT ONLY
RIGHT. IT IS GOOD
America may well be proud
that its very name is still almost
another word for tolerance.
The instinct to tolerate in oth
ers the freedom we expect for
ourselves is deep in the Ameri
can consciousness. We don’t
think much about it, because we
are all brought up that way, and
it is natural.
But in a time when whole gov
ernments and systems are being
built on tolerance, it might be >
well to think a little about why |
tolerance is a good thing. For j
leaders like Adolf Hitler are de-1
nouncing it not only as weak ini
itself, but as an unbearable handi
cap on a state.
Americans like tolerance be
cause it is right, We believe that
no man is good enough or wise
enough to rule other men with-'
out their consent. And we believe
that no man’s rights are safe un
iless he is willing and able to
grant to other men the same
righs he expects for himself.
It is the very denial of these
Tights over many years that lies i
at the bottom of Europe’s dis
content. One racial minority,
long suppressed and kept under,
when it gets at last a chance to
be on top, becomes equally op-1
pressive of its former oppressors.!
There is no end of ithis. Eu
rope can never be tranquil until
at last there are no oppressed ra
cial minorities to smoulder and
plot revenge when their hour
comes.
But many Americans view ra
cial and religious tolerance in its
lowest terms. They grudgingly
admit the right, and with clench
ed teeth vow that they will
grant it. no matter how repuls
ive t may be to them to do so.
That is, of course, better than
no tolerance at all. But it is neg
ative.
Tolerance has its positive side,
more important than the nega
tive. It lies in the fact that all
races and all creeds have rich
contributions to make to Ameri
can civilization. They have made
them in the past, and given the
opportunity, will make them in
'the future.
American life is rich and pro
ductive beyond 'anything that au
thoritarian states can ever ach
ieve, simply because the way is
wide open to all people to con
tribute their share.
Tolerance is not a burden, a
source of weakness, grudgingly
main tamed because it is known to
be right, but a source of stren
gth. ard a guarantee of the high
est possible development of the
nation of the future.

ALASKA APPLE TREES
NEED PROPS TO KEEP
BRANCHES FROM BREAKING
Apple trees, 15 feet tall and 15
years old. produce apples so ab
undantly the limbs have to be
; pr; pped up, provide apples by
the box for George Roll, store
keeper at Hope, Alaska. The ap
ple trees plus a crate of apples
grown on the trees were seen by
Howard Estelle, District Exten
sion Agent of the University of
Alaska, during a recent visit
there when he helped establish
4-H Clubs in westward Alaska
communities. At Hope, a 4-H Gar
den Club was formed under the
leadership of Mrs. Mitchell and
Doc Nearhouse.
At Homer a steady influx of
1 homesteaders, the majority of
whom are locating upon the
bench land back a few miles
from tide water, have increased
community projects there. A new
community library is well under
way and a community hall is be
ing planned and may be con
structed next fall. A fine dock
constructed by individual effort
and personal financial support
from homesteaders, is in use
there and it is very likely a new
school will be established upon
the bench land this fall. There
are already two one-room schools
there. At a meeting well attend
ed by the Homer farmers and
held with the Homer Women’s
Club, plans for the 1939 Homer
Community Fair got under way
while Ivtr. Estelle was there, he
said.
At Seward a 4-H Club in Gar
dening and one in Livestock was
organized at t.he Jessie Lee
Home. The livestock group will
be made up of both girls and
boys. They will learn about rais
ing chickens, geese, rabbits, pigs
and calves. Mr. Tharp, animal
husbandman, will be the live
stock club leader. He is graduate
of dairying from Nevada.
In Seldovia a 4-H Garden Club
under the leadership of Miss
June McCullah, a graduate of the
University of Alaska, was organ
ized.
Mr. Estelle started ,his trip the
latter part of March and was aw
ay froim Fairbanks several weeks
during which the work to the
westward was started. Also stops
in Anchorage and .the Matanuska
Valley where he worked with
Miss Zimmerman, Home Demon
