14 Charleston Daily Mail Wednesday, Feb. 13, 1952 Prejudice Is Held Product Of Insecurity now prejudices comes intoi being and suggestions for their cure were discussed Monday afternoon at the third annual joint meeting of the National; Council of Jewish Women and the Y.W.C.A. Entitled "Pride and Preju I dices." the discussion was center ed Upon the contents of a song, I "Carefully Taught," from South Pacific. Mrs. George Mason Green, pres ldent of the Charleston League of Women Voters, was moderator.

Members of her panel were Mrs. Evelyn Harris of the political! science department at Morris Har vey college; Mrs. John W. Davis, wife of the president of West Vir ginla State college; and Mrs. Vlr Kinia B.

Myers, foster care field worker of the state DP A. Basic Rights Listed Mrs. Harris spoke of pride and prejudices on the national level, giving four basic rights of the in i dividual as her chief points. They are 1. safety and security; 2.

clti zenship and its privileges; 3. free clom of conscience and expression; equality of opportunity. She stressed the point that "The; dignity and worth of the Individual Is what matters In our democratic1 government." Mrs. Davis spoke of pride and prejudices on the community lev el. She said "Individuals are the! products of their communities.

Wei need to start within our community to work on legislation for civil rights and fair employment practice. Mrs. Meyer, speaking on the; horns level, quoted parts of the; song, "Carefully Taught." as the basis for her talk. "You've got to be" taught to hate and fear before six or eight to hate all the peoples your relatives hate." Mrs. Meyer pointed out her belief that the child comes into the: world with a cosmopolitan point! of view and collects his prejudices1 from parents and other adults be fore he reaches the teen age years.

Need To Feel Superior She branded pride and prejudices as the need of Individuals to; feel superior because of insecuri 1 ties. Mrs. Meyer urged parents to see that their children feel secure in the family circle and that they be taught to judge people as Individuals rather than because of their differences. "We can have pride in our own kind of people and it's natural for us to have a preference but we must Judge others as Mrs. Meyer concluded.

Mrs. Green suggested that everyone think in terms of "Do! we do what we profess to believe; In?" She urged all present to be: alert in this respect, since "prcju dice Is contagious."
