THE CELEBRATION OF CONSTITUTION DAY
By DR. GEORGE S. BENSON
The 4,000 people of Louisville, Ohio, today are
having the greatest celebration in the city’s history.
Can anybody guess what they are celebrating on this
September 17 ? Not many Americans can. And yet the
event that occurred on September 17, 1787, might well
be considered of greater importance to mankind than
any since the days of Jesus Christ on earth. The event
was the adoption of the United States Constitution by
the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia.
The Constitution created a national government
to strengthen individual freedom and safeguard that
freedom against all encroachments including govern
ment itself. James Wilson, a delegate and noted lawyer,
said at tha opening of the Constitutional Convention:
“For the first t'me in six thousand years of human
history men have come together to deliberate and
peacefully resolve what their government shall be.”
The Constitution they thereupon drafted and signed is
the greatest governmental document :n human history.
That’s why little Louisville, Ohio, will stage a
city-wide celebration and have special instructions on
the Constitution in the schools on September 17 for
the third consecutive year. Citizens will thrill to
marching bands, parade floats, and a big auditorium
program; and then soberly reflect on the debt each
of them owes to the principles of freedom written
into the Constitution 167 years ago. A few other com
munities will celebrate too, but none perhaps on the
scale and with the enthusiasm of the Louisville citizens.
The American way of life has three foundation
stones: faith in God, constitutional government, and
the private enterprise economic system. Whatever
can be done in America to make our people aware of
how indispensable these factors are, to our freedom,
our spiritual growth and economic progress, has my
whole-hearted support. The Constitution and the back
ground for its creation ought to be studied by every
school child in America; and all Americans ought to
pause one day in the year to be reminded of how it
works to preserve our liberty. Louisville has reason
to be proud. What about a Constitution Day in this
community ?

Famed Arctic Explorer
Adm. MacMillan Radios
“All Well” From Labrador
CHICAGO, (4>l—Adm. Donald B.
MacMillan, 69, long unheard .from
on his 26th expedition into the
arctic, radioed Wednesday that he
is at Hopedale, Labrador, and
“All well.”
The message was received by
Cmdr. E. F. McDonald Jr., radio
and television executive, who ex
plored the arctic with MacMillan
in 1923. The radio read:
“Happy to arrive Hopedale after
long, hard run along Ellsmereland
and Baffinland coast. Difficult
going all summer. All well. Mac
Millan.”
MacMillan has been making
voyages into the arctic each sum
mer for years aboard his sailing
vessel Bowdoin. McDonald said
the veteran explorer had not been
heard from for some time this
summer and he and other friends
and associates had begun to fear
for his safety.

Dulles Sees Safety
From Communism
In SE Asia Pact
WASHINGTON, W—Secretary
of State Dulles switched his drive
for stronger anti-Communist de
fenses to' Europe Thursday—out
wardly confident that a strong
barrier has been ere-cted against
any new Red aggression in South
east Asia.
Dulles said in a broadcast re
port to the nation Wednesday
night that he believed the new
Southeast Asia defense pact
would make a “substantial con
tribution” to the preservation of
free governments and to the
blocking erf further Communist
expansion.
Furthermore, he pictured pow
erful naval and air forces” of the
United States in the western Paci
fic as backing up the treaty signed
at Manila last week with threat of
retaliation against any aggressor.
He said this threat can protect
many nations as effectively as it
can protect one.

Pelly to Urge
Alaska RR. Run
Passenger Ships
SEATTLE, UP—Operation of Al
aska passenger ships by the Alas
ka Railroad will be urged by Con
gressman Thomas M. Pelly before
the Tollefson House subcommit
tee here October 4.
Pelly intends to appear as a I
witness before the subcommittee,
he said Wednesday, to push for
the Interior Department to' step
into the Alaska passenger busi
ness through its Alaska Railroad ,
operation.
This seems the lone remaining
hope, the Washington congress
man declared, to maintain ocean
passenger service between Seattle
and the territory. Alaska Rail
road’s broad powers for develop
ment of Alaska would permit it
to set up ocean passenger opera
tion almost immediately, without
any congressional action.
Felly’s plan probably would call
for the Interior Dept, to take over
part of Alaska Steamship Co.’s
passenger fleet and operate it,
either directly or through Alaska
Steam.
One government-owned corpor
ation now operates passenger
ships to the Panama Canal, the
congressman pointe-d out, and the
Interior Dept, has shown great
concern over Alaska’s ocean pass
enger problem.
