Praying In Sthools No doubt Decatur people differed as widely as other Americans in their opinion of the Supreme Court decision concerning opening prayers in public school classrooms. "" Since the "opinion” is the law, every area resident should understand it. It means, specifically, that school teachers cannot open their classes with Bible reading or prayer.. The purpose is not to keep the individual prayer or Bible reading; it is simply to keep teachers from imposing their own religious beliefs on theis students. To many of us, who have a weak religious background anyway, this would not be important. It would be the only religious training the child would get. But to those of us who would want, seriously, to impress our children with what we believe to be the true < faith, we would not want others, with the prestige of' fheir teaching position and supposedly*" “scientific’* viewpoint, to impress the children with other ideas. Under the Constitution of the United - ’ States, each of us has the right and privilege to believe, and to teach our own children without interference, our own religious views. Those who feel strongly that their own particular view of religion is the only one, and the ope that would generally be taught in their own public schools, also object to the ruling. These include many of the churches which belong to the National Association of . Evangelicals, which includes several Decatur area churches. The Natinal Council of Churches, which include most of the Protestant churches of Decatur, has favored the Supreme Court decision, but all of its members congregations have not. The Roman Catholic church and Jewish groups feel very strongly in favor of the ruling for the most part — they have frequently objected to their children being subjected to beliefs in public schoools other than those of their parents. The so-called "Liberal” Protestant Christians who favored this decision, and who strongly believe that every.family, through its own particular church, temple, or synogague, has the duty of religious instruction, must now enforce their belief with action. If Bible reading is dropped, then real education concerning religion should begin immediately. The Supreine Court clearly marked the path. Schools may, and should be encouraged to do so by straight-thinking Christians and Jews, of all faiths, start classes in Bibical history, the meaning of different creeds, the meaning of prayer, and how different groups use and have used it. Tiisis a time for action. Each of us needs his religkfh; but we do not need it fed to us through identical eyedroppers in our public schools. We need to be educated in general religious and moral background and history, and we need to be steeped in the traditions of our own churches and temples. And of course we need, over all to consider the First Principle — "Thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and mind and soul, and thy neighbor as thyself.”

Capehart Says U He's Through Seeking Office By EUGENE J. CADOU United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPJ) Former Sen. Homer E. Capehart, a Republican who was beaten by Democratic Sen. Birch E. Bayh, Jr., in a surprise victory last’November, said today he will no more run for public-office. Capehart, who spent many weeks in the hospital in recent months, said he is feeling "“fine” and will be available for helping the GOP at any time. He said he has nd speaking dates for the Republican cause during the municipal elections this year, however. Not so many months ago. Capehart weighed 250 pounds. Witlj diet, he now has slimmed down to 215 pounds, he said. Capehart, who served 18 years in the Senate, said he still advocates conservative Republican policies. “I haven't changed,” Capehart said. "I was 100 per cent right on the Cuban situation, on losing our gold to other nations, on the unbalanced budget and on substituting Iqpns for outright foreign aid grants to other nations. Recently, Sen. Vance Hartke has, agreed with me on loans instead* of gifts.” Spends Time at Farm Capehart now lives in a beauti-

He raises thousands of cattle and hogs and lots of corn on the farm to feed them. In Indianapolis, Capehart attends to the affairs of the Capehart Corp, and the Columbia Avenue Realty Corp., and these activities are no small chore, •These concerns manage stocks, bids, loans and rental properties. Capehart refused to comment on the national and state GOP prospects, although four, years ago he was active in the presidential bid of New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller; whose marital status may have affected his standing for the White House nomination. Capehart’s colleague for many years, former Sen. William E. Jenner, now practicing law in Indianapolis and running farms with headquarters at his home in Bedford. likewise is quiet politically. But not as still as Sen. Capehart. Jenner Likes Goldwater Jenner likes Arizona Sen. Barry Goldwater for the GOP presidential bid. One of his most faithful followers, Mrs. lone Harrington of Chesterton, GOP national committeewoman, is a co-chairman of the national drive to draft Goldwater. Jenner likewise appears to have some interest in the contest for nominations at the GOP state convention next June. One of his fa- , vorites for a nomination of one • kind or another is State Treasurer Robert Hughes, Greenwood. He also is said to be close to Secretary of State Charles O. Hen-

160 Students Take Driver’s Training

By Mike Thoele If,, in the next several weeks, you find yourself driving down a Decatur street behind a car bearing a sign which informs you that its teen-age driver is “just learning,” don’t panic — the driver is in good hands. He (or she) is a member of one of the driver training classes of the eight-week summer school session at Decatur high school. The course, which is being taken by some 160 fifteen and sixteen-year-old area high school students and is being taught by eight local instructors, is given under a special educational driving permit which allows the holder to drive only when accompanied by an authorized driver training instructor. It combines six hours of driving with 12 hours'of in-car observation and 36 hours of classroom instruction. Director of the course is Bill McColly. The eight instructors for the course are McColly, Bob Worthman, Steve Everhart, Jerry Mitchel, Floyd Reed, G ar y Giessler, Charles Swales and Jerry Lietz. . The driver training course whs first offered at Decatur high school in the 1947-48 school term, with 0 o Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee o o Q. What do you do with an icedtea spoon if your glass is not on a plate? A. Your hostess has goofed! Ice-tea glasses should be on a saucer, with room for the spoon. However, never place the spoon on the table. Put it across the edge of your plate. Above all, do not leave it in the glass while drinking. Decidedly awkward, and also there’s the risk of a poke in the eye. Q. I’ve been told a bride always wears gloves. True? A. In years gone by, yes. But today it’s up to the individual. If gloves are worn, the seam on the wedding-ring finger is ripped so that it may be slipped off during . the ceremony. Q. Is it necessary to write an acknowledgment of a gift to the giver if he already has been thanked verbally? A. Your verbal* thanks are enough — but it never hurts to follow up with a note if you wish. dricks, a rather ambitious GOP plitico. Many persons suspect Jenner of aspiring to the office of governor, but his absence from political meetings and from campaigning for many years has weakened this theory. .

-I ■ v ■ DRIVER’S TRAlNlNG— Approximately 160 students are enrolled in the Decatur high school summer driver training class. Eight teachers are included, four of whom are pictured above. Left to jrignt are Gary Giessler, Charles Swales, Jerry Leitz and Floyd Reed. Three cars from the Schwartz Ford Co. and one from the Phil L. Macklin Co. are being’ used in the eight classes, four morning classes and four in the afternoon.—(Photo by Mac Lean)

28 students enrolled for the course Most of those takihg the course are from Decatur high school, but about 40 are from Decatur Catholic and a few are from other area high schools. There are no adults enrolled in the course this summer. Three of the four cars used in the course are provided by Schwartz Ford and the fourth is provided by Phil Macklin Dodge. The cars ate equipped with dual brake pedals so that the instructor can stop the cat from the right front seat. Textbook Movies The classroom portion of the course is centered around a textbook and movies. The chapters of the book cover in detail such subjects as turning, passing, car care, and maintenance of highways. The movies some owned by the school and others provided by Fort Motor company and General Motors, feive detailed illustrations of driving techniques. During the first week of the course the various classes spent 13-14 hours in the classroom, learning fundamentals frorh the textbook and movies. With the groundwork completed, the groups now spend only thre hours each week in thee lassroom and 17 hours in cars. McColly, director of the program, said that teachers in the program proceed as if none of the students had any previous driving experience and that the most basic and fundamental aspects of driving are covered in the course. Part of the classroom portion of the course includes a visit to the high school auto mechanics shop, taught by Amos Ketchum. Here, mechanical fundamentals are explained to the students and pointers on basic automobile maintenance are given. Students in the auto, mechanics course aid in giv-, ing the demonstrations. Build Confidence First on the agenda of actual driving instruction is orientation in starting and stopping. These les-

i K i sons are given in isolated areas. Once the rudiments of starting and stopping have been mastered the student progresses to turning and backing, again in isolated areas. ‘‘Building confidence is an taiportant part of the course,” said McColly. ‘Many of these kids are really nervous when they start out behind the wheel, and they need to get over it before they can be good drivers.” McColly added that, while some of the girls tend to be extremely over-cautious, there are a number of very good, girl drivers taking the course. After turning techniques have been developed, the students begin to drive in Jije downtown area to familiarize themselves with traffic and traffic signals. After this comes highway driving and passing, then angle parking. Last, but far from least, is an attempt at parallel parking. . Last week McColly asked the students in his class to list the aspects of driving which, after one week’s experience, worried them most. The results were alittle surprising,” he said, “First on the list was oncoming traffic. Most of the kids seem to worry about getting too close to the center line and wind up going too far to the right. The other things which worried them most v»ere turning and parking, which they haven’t even tried yet.’ In the span of two, weeks each ‘student in the course has opportunity to take five,2o-minute driving QUALITY PHOTO FINISHING All Work Left on Thursday Ready the Next Day, Friday, Before Noon HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO.

periods. At the end of the course the student will have accumulated six hours of driving time, the amount required by law for those taking the course. Upon completion of the course the instructor signs the student's educational permit. The student is then permitted to drive when accompanied by a licensed 21-year old driver. When the student is sixteen years and one month old he may then take the standard driver’s license test.
