Editorial
Cherished American Freedom
Is Right Of Privacy In Home
Third in a series of ten aivard-winning editorials from the
San Diego Calif., Evening Tribune. Reprinted with per-
mission).
HOME is a sacred place to us, a place of refuge, of nour-
ishment for body and soul, of growth and love—home.
This is our world within a world.
And just as we wish man’s bigger sphere to be free and
secure, so do we insist on the safety and sanctity of our
individual homes.
The Founding Fathers, steeped in the belief of man’s
dignity and worth, and wary of jack-booted tyranny against
his home and his person, sought safeguards for himself and
for all Americans who were to come after them.
In Article IV of the Bill of Rights—they showed their
concern in these words:
“The right of the people to be secure in their persons,
houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches
and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall
issue, but upon probabal cause, supported by oath or af-
firmation, and particularly describing the place to be
searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”
This fundamental right of privacy in one’s home is a
cherished part of America’s freedoms today because we
can contrast it with the absence of such decent regard for
the individual in other lands.
The abode may be humble, it may be stately, it may be
bare, or crammed with elegance, or harbor dark secrets.
But the law-abiding citizen can retire at night, secure
in the knowledge that his privacy will be respected; that
he will not know the dread of the rap on the door;
the unwarranted intrusion into the world of the free Amer-
ican family.
These are some bulwarks of the American way of life.

Your Right To Vote
(AFPS) — Who has one of
the most responsible assign-
ments in the Armed Forces?
The answer? The voting offi-
cer of every unit in the Army,
Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps
and Coast Guard.
The voting officer has the
basic responsibility for pro-
viding accurate and totally un-
biased information on how the
serviceman and his family may
vote in local, state and nation-
al elections, either by absentee
ballot or in person.
Strong guidelines have been
issued to help the voting offi-
cer in his duties. But if he can’t
find an answer to a specific
voting problem, he can make
quick contact with the legal
officer for assistance.
To insure that everyone
eligible to vote has the oppor-
tunity to cast a ballot, the servi-
ces have directed voting officers
to provide applications (Stand-
ard Form 76) for absentee
ballots.
Voting officers hand-carry
these applications to the servi-
ces’ eligible voters well in ad-
vance of the November elec-
tions. The Department of Def-
ense has deemd this method
the “surest way” of providing
everyone with the opportunity
to vote.
Your Personal Affairs
Failure To Meet Obligations.
Disciplinary action may be
taken against Service personal
whose failure to meet their per-
sonal obligations, including ade-
quate support of dependents,
may bring discredit on the Ser-
vice.
The Secretaries of the Army,
the Navy, the Air Force, and
the Treasury are authorized by
law to direct the creation of
Class Q allotment upon appli-
cation by, or on behalf of, de-
pendents of enlisted members
in grades E-1,-2,-3, and 4 (with
less than four year’s service).
The Treasury has delegated his
authority to the Commandant of
the Coast Guard.
Under the Missing Persons
Act, a Service Secretary or the
Coast Guard Commandant can
start, stop, increase, or decrease
Class Q or other dependent’s
allotments of persons coming
under the Act. A “missing per-
son” is one who is considered
lost to a command because his
wherebouts or fate cannot be
determined, and who is neither
absent without authorization
nor in desertion).
In addition to those consider-
ed to be missing persons, this
Act covers Service members
who are missing in action; in-
terned in a foreign country;
captured, or beleaguered, or be-
sieged by a hostile force. This
Act also authorizes financial as-
sistance through official depen-
dent’s allotments actions in the
case of a Service member whose
place of duty is so remote or
so cut off from communica-
tions that the member is unable
to take such actions himself.

Selective Listening
The use of a hearing aid is a great boon to anyone with
defective hearing. But there are also distinct problems
connected with its use. The instrument naturally does not
confine itself to picking up the human voice. It transmits
to the ear all sounds and noises within its reach. What is
more, metallic sounds and strident voices have a tendency
to drown out the softer and more mellow sounds, especially
the quiet conversational voice. The wearer of the hearing
instrument has to learn to select from a welter of noises
and voices the one he wants to hear. In due course this be-
comes a habit and requires but little effort.
A counterpart to this may be observed in the difficulty
most people experience in distinguishing the Voice of
God in the world today. But by no means has this Voice
been silenced. More generally than ever before may it be
heard in virtually every country, even unto the uttermost
parts of the world, as was predicted. But the hearing of
our master’s voice as it comes through the message of
the Holy Scriptures is often attended by grave difficulties.
The many raucous and disagreeable voices and the din of
materialistic, metallic noises — the jingle of money bags
— complicate the selection and hearing of the calm, even
voice of Him whose “Come unto me” continues to offer sal-
vation harassed and callous generation.
To each of us it is a matter of most serious consequence
that out of the Babel of voices and noises we learn to distin-
guish and heed the voice of Him who with outstretched
arms still seeks to encompass all mankind in the embrace
of His love. Listen to God’s voice and receive again His
blessing.
