Standing up for peace-- 

Weekly Vigils and Peace Circles Continue

People of all ages continue to swell the crowd on the corner of First Street and Lincoln Highway each Friday evening at 5 p.m. Eight different church leaders, including one rabbi, have addressed the brief Peace Circle following each Vigil at 6:00.  Each person who comes challlenges others to do so.  DeKalb’s turnout of 40 to 50 per week has inspired other communities to  start similar protests  or to increase their number of participants. 

As peaceful protests grow across the nation, we feel our leaders will surely have to take notice.  President Eisenhauer once predicted that one day the people are going to want peace so badly that  their leaders will have to get  out of the way and let them have it.  As each one knows who has participated realizes, standing for peace with others of like mind is an energizing experience.  If the Stroups, Helen Merritt, Estelle Von Zellen, and Rose Feuer's tiny son can carry a sign for peace, can you do less?  Please don’t let us down!
