ANNUAL HARVEST DINNER DRAWS CROWD The ladies of the Zion Lutheran Church served a record 450 persons Wednesday evening at the annual harvest dinner held in the parish hall. Decorations of apples, gourds, and Indian corn carried out the harvest theme. Attractive Booths Numerous and colorful booths comprised an attracti/e setting for the festive occasion. The candy booth, under the supervision of Mrs. Norman Geiger, Mrs. Kenneth Schnepf, and Mrs. Herman Krueckeberg, proved to be a favorite of the children, who watched taffy apples being made on the spot. The market booth, under the direction of Mrs. Richard Mailand and Mrs. John Kiess, featured lovely flowers, plants, fruits, and late fall vegetables. Mrs. Herman Dierkes, Mrs. Louis Webert, Sr., and Mrs. Bernard Schultz supervised the handiwork booth. Another popular spot for the younger people was the fish pond booth under the watchful eyes of Mrs. Walter Bauer and Mrs. Roland Miller. Movies, complete with an authentic popcorn machine. Operated by Zane Zwick and Steve Jacobs, rounded out the children's entertainment. Jane Jacobs made the popcorn and Mrs. Louis Jacobs was in charge of the religious booth and publicity. Mrs. Bill Porter, Mrs. Lee Fleming, and Mrs. Carl Reinking supervised the dining room. The affair was under the direction of the president of the Missionary Society, Mrs, John Kiess, who was aided by all of the women of tho <• church. Health Officer Present The city health officer attended the affair to inspect the two new rinsing sinks in the church kitchen and to award the church a health certificate for complying with the health regulations. Meeting the health code restrictions enables the Zion Lutheran to fry, bake, and repare all kinds of foods in its kitchen. In past years, the proceeds from the annual harvest dinner have been divided equally between the Zion building fund and church charities. A portion of the proceeds goes to support the Community

Religion In School To Supreme Court By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International Does the U.S. Constitution for--1 bid public schools to acknowledge I the existenie of God? ! The Supreme Court may soon have to answer that question. Headed toward the high tribunal are appeals from two sharply contradictory decisions in lower courts. One, handed down in September by a special three-judge federal court in Philadelphia, rejected as unconstitutional a 10-y ea r-old Pennsylvania law requiring daily Bible reading in public schools. The other, delivered in August by Justice Bernard S. Meyer of the New York Supreme Court, upheld the use of a non-sectarian prayer as part of public school opening exercises. Both lower courts sought to interpret a 16-word clause in the I first amendment to the Consttiu[tion —a clause which is the basis l for America's tradition of churchi state separation, as well as its guarantee of religious freedom. It says: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof” Restriction Invites Debate This restriction (extended to state legislatures by the 14th Amendment) has long been the subject of legal debate. Some authorities see it as a simple ban on the practice, common in Europe at the time the U.S. Constitution was written, of “establishing” one official church and persecuting all the rest. Others believe it requires the govern- | qwnt to take an absolutely neuSal, hands-off attitude toward giiOhThe Philadelphia court seemed to subscribe to the latter view. It struck down a Pennsylvania law which called for the reading of "at least 10 verses from the Holy Bible,” without comment, at the opening of school each day. But the three-judge court held that it was unconstitutional for the state to “promote the inculcation of religious doctrine” in children’s minds by exposing them to daily reading of Scripture. In the New York case. Justice Meyer upheld the use in public schools of a brief prayer recommended by the state board of regents. The prayer, intended to be acceptable to all religious faiths, says: “Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee, and we beg Thy blessings upon us, bur parents, our teachers and our country.”

Notes Excuse Provided Justice Meyer noted that provision was made to excuse any child from participation in the prayer if his parents requested it. Under these conditions, he said, it could not be called an infringement on religious freedom. The justice observed that the overwhelming majority of the American people do believe in God, and want their children to be brought up under religious influences. It may be embarrassing for the children of non-believing parents to be excused from school prayers, he said, but the state has no right to “subordinate the spiritual needs of believers to the psychological needs of non-believers.” . 1 Emergency Landing Made In Space Ship LOS ANGELES <UPI) — Icymannered Scott Crossfield, pilot I of America's X-15 space ship which was jolted at 45,000 feet by an explosion during a test flight Thursday, came home today to determined what happened. "Wev’e got to take the plane apart to find out what happened,” Crossfield said. “I knew there was an explosion and some internal damage to the X-15. But when I came in for the landing on the alternative strip at Rosamond Dry Lake, I felt everything was just great.” North American Aviation, builder of the dart-like X-15, admitted it was necessary for daredevil Crossfield, 38, to make a quick ■ emergency landing in the craft I designed to carry man 100 miles I above the earth at speeds in excess of 4,000 miles an hour Warped Out of Sahpe Eyewitnesses reported the X-15 was warped out of shape as it landed at the Edwards Air Force Base auxiliary strip 65 miles northeast of Los Angeles. Impact of the 50-foot ship’s landing wrenched it so forcefully that one section behind the cockpit was sagging about two feet below the rest of the fuselage. But North American said the

damaged space ship was just one of three in the multi-million dollar program to get a manned aircraft into the ionosphere above the earth. A spokesman said the aircraft, which was being trucked back here from the desert base, apparently was damaged when some of the propellents exploded in the lower engine. Jettison* Fuel The damaged X-15 made the only two previous powered flights Crossfield said that Air Force Capt. Robert White of New York City, flying chase in an F-104, radioed. “It‘seems you've got a little fire." “I know,” Crossfield replied. Then he jettisoned the remainder of his 18,000 pounds of liquid oxygen arid shut off the dual rooket engines. “The fire light is out," he said calmly as he plummeted down, picking a landing spot at Rosamond.
