With Our Rights Come Responsibilities

The free governments of Europe, of
Africa, of Asia, of Australia, and of the
Americas have, a challenge before them.

The liberties of the freé governments
are not playthings. They are living, vital,
meaningful items wrich must be con-

In a park in Seville, Spain, this poem,
“The Prayer of the Tree”, was reported
found nailed to a tree.

“To the wayfarer ....

Ye who ‘pass by and would raise your
hand against me

Harken ere you harm me!

Tam the bread of kindness and the flower

The friendly shade screening you from

My fruits are refreshing draughts,

Quenching your. thirst as you journey on.

I am the beam that holds your Kouse,

The board of your table

The bed on whicr you lie,

And the timber that builds your hoat,

.am the handle of your hoe,

The door of your homestead,

The wood for your cradle,

And the shell of your coffin.

Iam the heat of your earth on the cold

pany and explained. Rand Investments re-

plied they had nothing to do with the

Wilsons’ deal with the sales company and.

that the payments must be made.

The finance company suggested the

The Wilsons refused to pay and
Rand sued.

Judge Fraser said the Bills of Ex-

“Parliament should consider a simple
amendment, which would remedy the sit-
