will help prevent the sale of pornographic literature and eliminate the box office appeal of filthy movies and plays. Teaching children the physical “facts of life” simply isn’t enough. If the moral aspects are omitted as commanded by God, few human beings have the moral strength to stand alone. God said, quite emphatically, “Thou shalt not commit adultery”. Jesus Christ also made that statement, and carried it much further;’ He said, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say to you, that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath commited adultery with her already in his heart.” (Ma. 5: 27-28.)/if adults have forgotten this moial law, how can we expect that teaching our children the “facts of life” will solve our immoral problems? Sweden has been a forerunner in classroom sex education for over a decade, and today Sweden is probably recognized as the swing-

ingest sex society in the world. In 1964, Dr. Ull Nordwall, the personal physician of the King of Sweden, and 140 other eminent Swedish doctors and teachers, petitioned the Swedish government to diminish their bold sex program and return the teaching of morality and spiritual truth to the classroom. Sex education in Sweden isn’t making them better people. One of the guiding forces in sex education is the Sex Information and Education Council of the United States (Siecus.) Siecus is a non-profit organization which says its purpose is to enlighten our people in sexuality and to rid us of taboos, old-fashioned ideas and frustrating limitations. The SIECUS board of directors consists, in part, of Dr. Mary Calderone. executive director, Dr. Isadore Rubin, and Rev. Wm. Genne. Dr. Rubin is also editor of “Sexology” magazine, for which Dr. Calderone and Rev. Genne are consultants and contributors. I have just purchased “Sexology” magazine on our newsstand. It presents sex sensationalism, perversions, film reviews of “adult” movies and ads for sex books. All this in the guise of helping people become better adjusted. I must question the morals and motives of these individuals who would then be some of the leaders in promoting classroom sex education. It seems to me that we must be extremely careful what is taught and who teaches it. Sex education is vastly different from the three “R’s”. It’s much more a matter of the heart than of the head, and all the “facts of life” in the world can seldom make our children more moral and better Christians. I’m convinced that Jesus meant what He said. Cordially, Vernon C. Mfeeks 1300 Palmer Drive Apt 213 W. Lafayette, Indiana 47907 September 24, 1969. Mr. Nichols, Gee! I hardly know how to begin to reply to a letter with the quality of the one Captain Bryce L. Slabaugh, U. S. Army .submitted to your September 11 iSsue of the News. After all, how often is it that one is able to blunder upon the opportunity to experience communication with a person who has chosen the soul-inspiring career of killing. (Cleverly disguised by Capt. Slabaugh under the name of “protecting America”, “upholding our Constitution”, ad nauspam). Captain Bryce L. Slabaugh must be pretty proud of himself. He believes he is protecting your rights and my rights of speech, dissent, etc., yet at the same time, by upholding the principles of war. he is taking these same freedoms a-

way from other human beings. Yet, who are we to criticize a person for doing something he likes to do? (Surely Captain Bryce L. Slabaugh must like being a professional soldier. Why else would he spend his life at the fine art of war. Could self-sacrifice be his bag?) Captain Bryce L. Slabaugh anachronistically places two questions in his letter which seem irrelevant to the issue at hand. First, he asks ‘How many “adults” have you asked if they have written their congressmen?’ Sure, I asked plenty of adults if they wrote their congressman. So what? Capt. Slabaugh also asks ‘Have you written to your congressman to find out answers to your questions?’ Yes, I wrote to my congressman, but I wasn’t asking for answers. I was asking for action on his part in the legislature. Finally, Captain Bryce L. Slabaugh affirms he does not enjoy being shot at by anyone for any reason. I have a single question for Captain Slabaugh. If he does not like being shot at, why the h .. . .. is he a professional soldier? J. David Marchand Lutherans Start Using New Sunday School Material Starting Sunday, October 5, St. John’s Lutheran Church will begin using the parish education curriculum of the Lutheran Church in America. The purpose of these courses is an attempt to help persons develop a style of life that meets today’s uncertainties with the force of Christian conviction. The courses offered and the teachers for them are as follows: For the Ist and 2nd grade, “Why Jesus Came’’, Roberta Grimm; 3rd and 4th grade, “Fellow Workers for God”, Vivian Kane; sth through 7th grade, “Great Christians, Tom Kane; Bth and 9th grade “Challenge and Witness”. Dick Wacholz; and 10th through 12th grade, “Defending My Faith”, Rev. Simpson. For the younger adults “The Mighty Acts of God” and for the older adults “The Story of God and His People”, both will be done by team teaching. A one year Catechism class will be offered for Bth and 9th graders on Saturday mornings from 10 until 11. This class will begin October 4 and will be led by Rev. Simpson, its purpose is to lead baptized members to identify with the life and mission of the Church and thereby to take on more mature responsibility in the Church.

Hated to print one of the letters to the editor this week. Wish the writer could meet Bryce Slabaugh. Wonder where the young man would be if we didn't have the Bryce Slabaughs! ★ ★ Friends from Chicago say that the Yippies there during the trial have been doing everything they can to provoke police action. There is nothing clean cut about that bunch! ★ ★ ★ Reading Time Magazine this week was depressing. The article on drug use was (to us) frightening. The movie section depicted two couples naked in bed, and the book section told of anew erotic best seller. Are we all going to make it during this exceptionally blah era? ★ ★ ★ A newcomer pointed this out to us. Have you noticed that few of the businesses up town have street numbers showing? We all know where each store is, but it's difficult for a stranger. ★ ★ ★ If during the recent dearth of good books, you are looking for an old one. try Timber Line by Gene Fowler. Noticed in our library, the last onl to take it out was in 1962. ★ ★ ★ It's time to watch your dog carefully. Reports of several having been stolen. ★ ★ ★ A friend of his claims that our Mayor is a great fisherman but a lousy euchre player. ★ ★ ★ Mary Hochstetler came across what looks like a check from the Nappanee News dated February 9, 1893 promising to pay Moses S. Schmucker $32.21 at the Farmers and Traders Bank. She also came across a school record of District 5 School for the term closing February 15, 1878. Noah Hoover was the teacher.

East Side Story By Sue McKee Will consider the Panthers knighted by the Squires! It was a disappointment but maybe the cats will claw the Lions next week. The North Wood High School Marching Band, Nappanee Division took off Saturday morning brighteyed and bushy-tailed for Auburn. They arrived only to find themselves parked next to Hicksville! they knew it was going to be a good (?) day. After an hour of rain they decided to leave because the parade was postponed. As the busses pulled out of the parking lot and the members waved goodbye to their friends from Hicksville, who should appear but good ole’ Mr. Sun. They arrived home just in time to watch (?) the Pur-due-Notre Dame game. Last week the juniors took acliievement tests. They are preparing to take the PSAT tests in late October. Any junior who has not registered as yet should check in the Guidance Office. It’s excellent for any college-bound junior who anticipates taking the SAT tests in May. Seniors who plan to go to college should write for applications as soon as possible. Check for addresses in the Guidance Office. If any of the underclassmen would like to seem - cultured, just ask any senior who has C. P. English to recite some lines from Macbeth! They were all required to memorize at least ten lines. REVIVAL SERVICES Revival Services are scheduled for October 1-12 at the Nappanee Church of the Nazafene. Rev. Lloyd Linder is the special worker for the services which begin at 7:30 p.m. each evening including Saturdays. After achieveing noteworthy success as a pastor, the Rev. Linder is now devoting his full time to the field of evangelism. In addition to vital gospel messages, he will be presenting special numbers in song. An added feature of Mr. Linder’s evangelistic work is the use of gospel magic to get the message across to children and young people. The Church, of the Nazarene in Nappanee, located at 458 W. Walnut Street, is pastored by the Rev. Eugene C. Sommer.
