investigators selected a group of
students who were churchgoers,

prayer tended to be regarded as
a last resort - when all else had

that all human help had failed

Gated they would pray in situa-
tons Of extreme danger, or under

Deara0le suspense.
Despite a general reluctance
to resort to prayer except when
their !. backs were up against the
wall, : most students regarded it
as an effective means Of obtain
ing help from some being or
force greater than themselves.
The study revealed that the
students were about evenly di-
vided on one point concerning
prayer. Half of them regarded
it as a means of bringing peace
of mind. emotional stability, and
relief of tension. The other half
viewed it as a means of attaining
concrete help IN a critical situa-
ton. But both groups showed
the same tendency to regard.

Some students, however,
prayed not only when they faced

they were extremely happy.

greatest change?
A: Probably during adolescence.
At Syracuse University. inves-
tigators made a study of over
500 school children, aged IL to
Is. They comprised a typical
cross-section of teen-agers. as
regards denomination and family
background. The study showed
Evening star., 1952-03-30

that as a child progresses through
adolescence he tends to grow
more and more skeptical of q
great many specific religious be-
iefs that have been previously
taught him. And by the time he
reaches the age of 10. he has
completely discarded several of
them.
The children showed the most
marked tendency to discard such
concepts as. Every word in the
Bible is true" " 1T is sinful to
doubt the Bible" and God is
someone who watches over you
and who Furnishes you if you are
not good. Close to 20 per cent
of the 12-year-olds believed inn
plicitly in these statements, but
two thirds of the 18-year-olds
did not.
They Change
OrFIER concepts which the chill
dren found more and more diff
ficult to believe as they grew
older were that there is a
Heaven," " that people who go
to church are necessarily better
than those who do not. " that
Hell is a place where you are
punished for your sins on earth" "
The latter statement, for exam
pie. was believed by 20 per cent
of the 12-year-olds, 40 per cent
of the 15-year-olds. and only
IS per cent Of the l8-year-olds.
On the other hand, belief IN
the efficacy of prayer showed a
marked increase with each pass
ing birthday. (Seventy-four per
cent of the l2-year-olds. as COM
pared with 50 per cent of the l8-
year-olds, believed that prayers
are a source of help in time of
trouble. , And the older chill
dren indicated a much greater
degree of tolerance and respect
for religions other than their
own: and far fewer of them
believed that "it is necessary to
attend church to be a Christian. -

Capital Parks Office
Asks 5 Tree Surgeons
To Fight Elm Disease

The National Capital Parks Of
flee has asked the Commissioners
for money to hire five tree sur
geons to combat what may be-
come an epidemic of Dutch elm
disease among the city's trees.
The request was contained in
the budget estimates for the 1854
fiscal year for NCP, released today
by the Commissioners. The re-
quests total $2,196,600 - some
$104, 900 more than was appro-
priated for the current fiscal year.
$25,000 for Fight.
The NCP said $4,000 was
needed for the fight to save the
trees. This money would be used
to expand present control activ-
tiles.
Last year, the NCP said, 40
cases of Dutch elm disease were
detected in the city, of which IS
were in Federal park areas. Al
ready this year. more than 80
ported in park areas, involving
principally the larger trees.
Limited funds and personal
have permitted removal of af-
fected trees and spraying only.
while the pruning and treating of
other trees for prevention Of
Dutch elm disease infection has
largely been neglected" the NCP
said.
Peak Not Yet Reached.
The NCP said that, because Of
the rapid spread of Dutch elm
disease in this area, Is was absol-
utely essential to expand control
activities.
The NCP asked for five tree
surgeons and two laborers to
carry on this work. It added:
1.-THE anticipated peak spread
of this disease has not been
reached at this time and every
effort must be expended to pre-
vent further infection and de-
struction of valuable and historic

Welfare Rolls Open
Only 10 Virginians,
Almond Ruling Says
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va. July 22.-Vir-
ginia welfare rolls are open for
public inspection only to citizens
Of Virginia. Attorney General j.
Lindsay Almond, jr, ruled yester-
day.
In a formal opinion prepared
for Col. Richard w. Copeland, di-
rector of the State Department
of Welfare and Institutions, Mr.,
Almond said:
There can be no doubt, in my
opinion, that the words any citi-
zen as used in the (welfare) code
as amended refer only to citizens
of the Commonwealth of Vir-
ginia."
Col. Copeland had asked for a
ruling on the new welfare provi-
sion after a Washington newspa-
perman was refused permission to
examine welfare records in Alex
andria.
Col. Copeland said today he had
not received the opinion, and
would reserve comment on it until
he had seen it.
The amendment to the code
enacted by the 1852 General AS
Sembly, opened public welfare rolls
to public inspection for the first
time.
The bill provides that "any citi-
zen" may be afforded access tc
the lists of recipients of aid.
II am of the opinion" Mr.
Almond said. that it must be as.
sumed when the General Assem-.
bly, of Virginia enacts legislation
and uses therein the words any
citizen that it has reference tc
citizens of this State unless a con-
trary intent is clearly indicated. >
