The guest speaker, Rev. Virgil C. Blum, stressed the fact that closing a substantial number of Catholic schools, or even some classrooms, would provide an increased tax burden on the people of Illinois. He added that in Illinois, non-public school pupils are not receiving benefits and services which are being provided in other states where non-public school pupils also are numerous. It is in the interest of receiving greater assistance that such meetings are called throughout the area. Those from here who attended last week's meeting were Wayne Gaylord, David Nylander and LeRoy Welter. CEF is committed to freedom and equality for all children, regardless of religious beliefs. Members support their public schools morally and financially and want the children who attend them to receive the best possible education. ' However, the organization strongly opposes the use of legal or economic pressure to force children to attend public schools. Citizens for Educational Freedom aims to win freedom and equality for every American child, Christian, atheist or Jew. j > ANNA FERWERDA .

"But, though I knew his name almost as well as my own, I suddenly had a mental block. "My mind went blank and I simply could not recall his name. "It was very embarrasing, to say the least. Am I growing senile?" JAMES MILITELLO SWORN IN AS NEW ATTORNEY James G. Militello was sworn in as attorney before the Illinois Supreme Court on Thursday,/ Nov. 14. This very impressivei • ceremony took place in the Armory at Springfield. A luncheon given by the Illinois Bar asso- • ciation preceded the event, held at the St. Nicholas hotel. Mr. Militello's wife, the former Louise Tonyan, and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. James G. Militello, Sr^, of Des Plaines, accompanied him. Mr. Militello has been employed by a Chicago tax firm since his graduation from Loyola university in June. In desperation-, I finally uttered a belated "Amen'*. Nobody showed surprise at my "Cordially yours" or my belated "Amen". But later that afternoon, the Superintendent was at our house so I confessed my faux pas. "Dr. Crane," she said, "I noticed it but I thought may be that was the new style beink set in the big Chicago churches, so I said nothing!" Fatigue will thus cause slips of the tongue and memory blockages, just as they will also produce typographical errors when you aire at a typewriter. Carrying two ideas in mind may likewise cause you to mix up your words. So don't get a "complex" because you do what Dr. Tittle and I have done, or suffer a blockage, as Arthur did at his board meeting!

And they are no reflection on your I.Q., nor an index of senility! Once when I wasin high school 1 started to introduce my younger brother, John, and I couldn't remember his name! Moreover, Dr. Ernest F. Tittle, famous pastor of the leading church at Evanston, once started to lead the congregation in reciting the Lord's Prayer. But he forgot part of it and was so humiliated that thereafter he had the Lord's Prayer, plus the 23rd Psalm, printed and taped to the top of his lectern. Once I also made the same error in leading my Bible Class at the Chicago Temple in reciting the Lord's Prayer, so I can sympathize with Dr. Title. Back in 1944,1 hadbeen asked to handle the direct mail publicity for Sehator John Bricker,1 who was opposing Tom Dewey for the Republican presidential1 nomination. For weeks prior to the convention I had worked late, preparing and directing the mailing to the 2,000 delegates and alternates. And I had dictated till about 2 a.m., so I could leave plenty of work for my secretaries while we drove to Indiana for a respite. Next morning was Sunday so we attended Sunday School. Without any warning, the Superintendent thereof suddenly asked me to dismiss the session with prayer. After a few sentences, I ended and lifted my head, expecting to leave. But everyone else had his head still bowed. It surprised me and for an instant I couldn't figure out what was wrong. Then, vaguely echoing in my ears, were the final words of my prayer, namely, "Cordially yours". Apparently I had been so groggy that I thought I was still back in Chicago dictating letters to you newspaper "fans". DENY NEW TRIAL A ruling by Judge Charles Parker in Circuit court on Monday denied the motion for a new trial made by Floyd Brennecke, 117 Sunset drive, Lakemoor, who had been found guilty of aggravated incest by the same judge earlier this month.

TROOP 162 Last week we had the honor of having one of our boys become an Eagle Scout. His name is David Walter, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Walter. We want to tell you a little about David and what he had to do to become an Eagle Scout. David is 14 years old, a freshman in high school and carrying a little better than average marks. He started His scouting career at the age of 11, becominga tenderfoot. As a tenderf< David had td learn and explaij what scouting means. Hien aj a Second Class Scout he many hikes and learned mappij tracking and related outdoor skills. To become aFirstC^ass Scout, David had to show camping skills, know Morse code, first aid, stars and other activities. On the rugged road through the Star, Life and Eagle ranks, David had to earn eleven required badges.' They are camping, Cooking, Citizenship in the Community, Citizenship in the Nation, Nature, Conservation of Natural Resources, Personal Fitness, First Aid, Swimming, Lifesaving and Safety. Each of the merit badges represents days or weeks of work in preparation, as well as guidance from an adult leader. A book of fifty to sixty pages must be studied and learned. Each badge will have from four to fourteen requirements, some of which will take a month of daily checks and observations to complete. Many require complicated labeled collections, long written reports, conservation projects, building, repairing, many new skills being learned, reading from other reference books, and then of course, the final tests and checks by your merit badge councilors. In addition to the eleven required badges, David had to have ten more. He chose Indian Lore, Basketry, Citizenship in the Home, Public Health, Dog Care, Canoeing, Pets, Leathercraft, ; 41 rr*t> Eagle Scouts must also demonstrate leadership. David, in addition to working on all the merit badges and projects, had held the following offices in the troop: Scribe, assistant patrol leader, patrol leader, assistant senior patrol leader, seniorpatrol leader and now is an inructor. David also belongs to ^ Order pf the Arrow and is the ^American Legions izenship award. ivid has attended Camp Louden, Camp Northwoods at Watersmeet, Mich., the World Scout, Jamboree at Farragut, ^ Idaho, and also the Philmont ^" Scout Ranch in New Mexico; Schiff Junior Leaders Training --< in Newark, New Jersey; and ,f1i the National Order of the Arrow convention at the Nebraska State university. Next summer, as a participant, he will attend the <** National Boy Scout Jamboree. c" In order to become an Eagle ;-n" Scout he also had to have let- "'* ters of recommendation fromat^ least six people including tea-" " chers, principal, a minister and1*' a doctor. Then he had to pass a ~' very strict board of review. '» Troop 162 has had three other Eagle Scouts in the past few years, Stan Steiner, Pat Long -- and Tom Gausden. David's father, Robert Walt- ^ er, is scoutmaster. Although Mr. Walter has encouraged Dave i' because he is his father, he has -been stricter in some of there- ' - quirements and projects. Con- ^ gratulations Dave, we are all -"1 proud of you.
