Masa insaf telah tiba.Disamping menempuh kemajuan pendidikan dan agama, kebudayaan pusaka nenekmoyang juga harus digali dan diperbaiki. Yang baik dan sesuai peredaran masa, akan dipupuk dan dan dihidupkan kembali. Yang tidak baik, melanggar agama dan susila, akan diganti dengan yang terbaik," tulis M Junus Djamil, Ketua I LKA Tahun 1958 dalam buku terbitan LKA tahun 1959 berjudul: Gadjah Putih Iskandar Muda .

The time to repair has come. In addition to advancing education and religion, ancestral heritage cultures must also be dug up and repaired. The culture and art with good value and according to the circulation of the times, will be nurtured, which is not good, violate religion and moral, will be replaced with the best, "wrote M Junus Djamil, Chairman of I LKA 1958 in LKA book published in 1959 titled: *Gadjah Putih Iskandar Muda*.
