size how much your work is By ALFRED A. MAY President, Detroit Round Table appreciated, how valuable it is, President Kennedy told a number of us at a White House reception for the Board of the National Conference of Christ- ians and Jews: "Gentlemen, I want to ex- press my great pleasure at hav- ing you here today at the White and what a service you are rendering. Thank you." America is made up of groups differing in cultural, economic, ethnic and religious back- grounds. This situation can lead to bitterness and conflict, as it often has, or it can lead to strengthening and enriching our society, as we of the Detroit Round Table believe it can. It will if we, during Brotherhood Week and at all other times, examine our own attitudes toward those who differ from us. ALFRED A. MAY House. I think your efforts in this field represent a very val- uable service to our country. "We have every reason to believe that our various religi- ous denominations should live together in the closest harmony. "We should set a happy model for the world, but like all things, these things can- not be taken for granted.

We need to take a hard look at these prejudices. Are they hurt- ing others? And, what is often overlooked, are they hurting the one who is prejudiced? In our democracy, we are committed to cultural pluralism. We have the privilege of hold- ing views in many areas which may not conform to the majority opinion. In the field of religion, we may worship as we please. We must, however, grant to all others the same privilege. This is democracy. This is brother- hood. By ROBERT M. FREHSE Executive Director, Detroit Round Table Brotherhood Week is a time for rededication to the princ- iples of living together which we believe should be practiced throughout the year. Independence D a y reminds us of our patriotic obligations; religious holidays inspire us anew to moral and spiritual ideals. So we attempt in Brother- hood Week to take a good look at our society, our city and our community. Above all we try to see ourselves. All of us have preferences We, the officers and directors of Public Bank, congratulate you and extend our best wishes for continued progress in the field of human relations. George 0. Ames Philip K.
