DALLAS’ OPPORTUNITY
Now that the courts have rendered their decision for desegregation in Dallas
schools, the problem facing the individual citizen and the city ia removed

gs matter of law and order,
Gvery citizen has the privilege to live hia life according te his oum views
80 lang as be acts within she law. The gooa citizen does sot resort te
vielence because he disapproves of or dislikes the law - he brings changes
about by cederly and legal aeans. A person who creates civil disorder is o
law-Dreaker, and a bad citizen who deserves the condemnation of hia neiesbors.
Vielence ie a problem that affects the whole community and not merely a few
ieciated segeents of the school or business public. Violence destroye &
commmity. It not only disrupts business and education, but undernines the
Baaith and gorai fiber of all citizens, Ixtremist elements and seiz-seeking
individuals come into control, and the city's children are forced to bees
slone a burden which rightfully is an adult responsibility,
The continued growth of our city, the prosperity and health of each indivia
dual and the religious life of the community depend upon each citizen's whelee
hearted seceptence of bie personal responsibility. Dallas is known threugh-
wet the com
our city should inspire us to work together to preserve @ proeperous, hesithy,
end peaceful comunity.
