w McCLORY REPORTS U From Washington Since the 1963 Supreme Court decision in the case of Engel vs. Vitale, compulsory -- and even voluntary -- pray­ ers in the public schools t iave been prohib i ted as a violation of the First Amendment of the Con­ stitution. This cornerstone of Jhe Bill of Rights provides that {"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..." Other Supreme Court decisions have held that even Bible readings and recitations of the Lord's Prayer are in conflict with the First Amendment's guarantee of freedom of religion. These decisions have adopted, in essence, the position of Thomas Jefferson who contended that the First Amendment con­ stituted a "wall of separation between church and state." Now the U.S. House of Representatives will take up a proposed amendment to the Constitution sponsored by Congressman Chalmers P. Wylie of Ohio (H.J. Res. 191) designed to override the Supreme Court. The so-called prayer amendment declares that: "Nothing contained in this Constitution shall abridge the right of persons lawfully assembled, in any public building which is supported in whole or in part through the expenditure of public funds, to participate in non- denominational prayer." This measure will come before the U.S. House of Representatives as the result of a discharge petition signed by 218 members - "discharging the House Judiciary committe from consideration of this measure" -- and requiring a vote by the House membership. If approved by two-thirds of the members of the House of R e p r e s e n t a t i v e s , a n d thereafter by two-thirds of the Senate, the proposal will be submitted to the state legislatures, where ratification b> three-fourths of the States is esse;;'sal for it to become part of the U.S. Constitution. Not since the unsuccessful efforts of the late Senator Dirksen has the proposed school prayer amendment reached such a promising stage in the U.S. Congress. Indeed, the Dirksen effort failed when only forty-nine senators - short of the two-thirds majority - rallied in favor of his proposal. The principal impetus behind the present school prayer amendment is a prominent constituent of Congressman Wylie, Mrs. Ben Ruhlin of Cuyahogo, Ohio. She and other proponents of the measure feel that daily devotional exercises in the classroom would be highly beneficial and that it would promote better morals and improved behavior among the students. They point to the fact that the United States House of Representatives is opened with prayer, and that even at the opening of the Supreme Court, the Clerk in­ tones the historic phrase: "God save the United States and this honorable court." Many persons point to the significant admonition of Benjamin Franklin at the Constitutional Convention wherein he recommended that the sessions should be opened with prayer. However, it seems also appropriate to recall that Benjamin Franklin's motion , was not adopted. In the former Constitutional Amendment proposed by c" Senator Dirksen there was no 4 indication as to the type or designation of a prayer, t However, the present amend- . ment would bar interference with prayer in public schools, and other public buildings, provided only that they met the 1 test of "nondenominational prayer." >• The big hangup concerns the meaning of the word "non- denominational." The question ^ most frequently asked is: "Who ( is to decide what is non- denominational?" Notwithstanding the interest of an overwhelming majority of the members of the United States House of Represen­ tatives in behalf of prayer and religious education, there is substantial opposition to a constitutional change which would impose non- denominational prayer on all students in public schools, as well as at other public assemblies. One may ask why the subject of prayer is not more appropriately delegated to the church and to the home where daily prayer would seem to be most useful. To the surprise of many, the principal opposition to the proposed prayer amendment comes from church and religious leaders and organizations.

How can I camouflage small nicks and chips in painted surfaces? A. Try using wax crayons for your patch job. These come in almost an endless variety of colors, and can be selected to match any paint color. Rub lightly over the marred area, and this will both fill in and color the damaged spots in the painted surfaces. Q. What is a good, general spot and stain remover for porcelain sinks and bathtubs? A. First rub the stains with a slice of lemon, then scrub them with a cloth dampened with kerosene. Q How can I, when working with plaster of pans, prevent it from hardening too quickly? A. By using glycerin or vinegar as your mixing agent, instead of the usual water. Q. The seal between our bathtub and the tile wall has crumbled away. How can I deal with this problem9 A. You can make your own resealer out of white tile cement and water, mixing this until it has the consistency of paste, then applying. Q. How can I remedy a blanket or quilt that is too short9 A By sewing a couple of feet of matching sateen on the bottom of it - for tuck-in pur­ poses . Q. How can I keep head lettuce fresh for a longer time7 A. Your head lettuce will stay fresh longer without turning brown if you do not wash it until you are ready to use it. Then wash only what is to be used at that time - returning the rest (unwashed) to the refrigerator. Q How can I tighten the cane on cane-backed chairs? A By wetting the cane, allowing it to dry and then letting it shrink. Varnish will add new life to the cane, also. Q. What is an easy way to wash throw rugs? A. Try throwing these small rugs into the bathtub, and using a broom for a scrubber This simple operation is usually very effective. Q. How can I clean plastic furniture? A This should be dusted regularly. A damp cloth is usually all that is needed. It can be washed with mild soap or detergent. Rinse with a cloth wrung out of clear, warm water, and wipe dry. Do not use any chemical aids, such as ammonia, on plastic furniture. Q. How can I prevent my decorative candles from bending or drooping7 A. By giving them a coat or two of clear varnish or shellac. Q How can I put hard tips on rawhide shoelaces, belt lacings, and so forth for easier lacing7 A. Try holding the ends of the laces in the flame of a lighted match, slowly rotating the end of the lace, and taking care not to char the leather. Give it the heat treatment just long enough to harden the tip suf­ ficiently without burning the leather. w i U S E A N D t E C O M M I N D RK P R O D U C T S You CAN Tell The Difference.
