Price - Not PrejudiceIowa LegionnaireDaily reports of draft card burnings, nationwide; demonstrations by Yietnicks, and we use the term advisedly, make a person wonder what the eventual outcome is to be as regards loyalty, patriotism and several other virtues which apparentlv have become square*' and outdated. Ma.vbc someone would like to change the Constitution to cover all of these activities and validate them as being truly American. On the other hand, just recently over 300 attended the last rites for a true American, one Sgt. Kichard Youngbcar, a Mesquakie bom and raised Indian, when he was laid to rest in the Indian Cemetery. He didn’t demonstrate anything other than love for his native country and in so doing gave his life many thousands of miles away from the peaceful hillside where he now lays, near Tama and the Indian settlement where he grew up, was taught and practiced Americanism in its finest definition. In acJition to full military services by the Tama American Legion Post, the traditional Indian service was also conducted. Similar services were also held and attended by sad friends and relatives at Oskaloosa for Sp. 4 Warren Everett Phillips, who also lost his life in Viet Xam. Perhaps a certain prize fighter and the term here again is used advisedly as well as some of the other demonstrators might well take inventory of themselves. They were replaced by these true American.
