structure of a public school un-
der its sponsoring was illegal un-
der the First and Fourteenth
Amendments. The decision makes
it clear that situations which
tend to sharpen "the conscious
ness of religious differences at
least among some of the children
committed to its (the schoops)
care" are to be rejected. That de-
cision eulogiZed the role of the
public school as unifying force
in American life.
Baccalaureate is Religious Rite
Even more directly in point is
very recent decision of Lewis
A. Wilson, the Commissioner of
Education of the State of New
York, in which baccalaureate ser
vices were expressly held to vio-
late the Constitution of that state.
In that case the petitioner was a
Roman Catholic clergyman who
could not conscientiously take
part in a service conducted out
side his church. That decision
states: "The issue before me in
this case is not whether the Bac-
calaureate Service should or
should not be held but whether
it may legally and properly be
held in the school building. 1t is
my view, as indicated heretofore,
that the utilization of the type of
service represented in this appeal
constitutes the teaching of a re-
ligious tenet, and the use of the
school for such purpose would
violate the State constitution"
The Commissioner says explicitly
in his decision that "the fact that
more than one religious denomi-
nation were represented on the
program would not change it's re-
ligious character" He, conse-
quently, ruled such services to be
a violation.

fringes upon the principle of
church-state separation. Rabbi
GaynOr gives his views in a letter
to the school authorities.
Much as 1 would personally
want to participate in the service
and much as I am devoted to the
holding of spiritual services for
young people at such times, /
feel that I must deny myself the
privilege of doing so out of a
sense of deep concern for the
fundamental American principle
of separation of church and state.
Separation InviOIate
I regard the doctrine of sepa.
ration as inviolable, for over the
last century and a half it has
been a great unifying force a.
mong the diverse religious ele-
ments in our country and has
enabled our religions to live in
harmony with each other and to
grow free from interference by
our government. Our great civic
unity is ample testimony to the
effectiveness of the doctrine and
to the genius of the founding ia
theirs who made it part of the
law of the land.
am deeply concerned that the
baccalaureate service as a relig-
ious exercise in the public school
and under it's auspices is an in
fringement of this principle of
separation-a principle which has
been affirmed again and again by
the Supreme Court of the United
States. In the famous McCollum
Case only a few years ago that
court by an 81 decision determ-
ined that the conduction of any

separation. It was he who spoke
of maintaining "a wall of separ-
alton between Church and State"
and was one of the staunchest ad-
vocates of this principle.
I feel that it is important to re-
iterate my deep conviction that
this basic principle of our Amer
lean democratic system, as enun-
ciated in these laws, in no way
indicates hostility to religion on
the part of the government. Quite
the contrary, the theory, borne
out by our national experience,
is that keeping church and state
separate operates in such a way
that the free exercise of religion
is in no way restrained but given
full freedom to flourish. At the
same time no particular set of
beliefs is forced by our govern
ment or its instrumentalities up
on it's citizens. All are free to
believe or diSbelieve as they wish
that is the essence of our de-
mocracy.
Churches Should Sponsor
On the other hand, as a spirit
ual leader I would not only well
come but urge that the churches
and synagogues of this commun-
ity themselves sponsor joint or
separate religious baccalaureate
services for our young graduates
outside the public school at the
same season as you would hold
the service, which you have so
graciously invited me to lead. I
would be delighted to participate
in such an effort and would give
my fullest energies to it. We
could thereby bring the message
of religion to our young people
without in any way compromis-
ing the doctrine of separation
which regard as no less vital to
our churches as to our political
democracy.

Farm Fire
Loss Totals
1888 Million

Farm fires are a matter of grave
concern to the nation. Each year,
they cost 5000 lives and destroy
over 500 million in property-in
1852, $133 million-much of it i'm
portant food supplies.
Commenting on these statistics,
the National Board of Fire Under
writers is urging farmers to devote
Fire Prevention Week to eliminat-
ing fire hazards on their farms.
The Board pointed out several
factors which Increase the threat
of fire on the farm. First, the farm
may be in an isolated area where
the fire department cannot reach
it quickly. Second, the modern
farm uses quantities of machinery,
for which gasoline must be stored
on the premises, creating a double
hazard. Third, there are frequently
frame buildings holding tons of
hay and straw-two extremely
combustible substances.
There are two main aspects to
farm fire prevention. The first be-
gins in the planning stages before
the farm is built, or when new
buildings are added. Spacing and
construction of buildings are very
important. In general, $50 feet be-
tween buildings is considered suffi-
cient for safety.
Because lack of water is a SER
ious danger, every farm should
have a pond within pumping dis
tance of buildings, if possible. Soil
Conservation Service specifications
will assure the ponds usefulness
to the frefighters.
In addition to building fire safe
ty into the farm, every phase of
the farms operation must be car
ried out with the danger of fire in
mind. Cardinal safety rule is that
heat, sparks or flames (actual or
potentially and combustibles like
hay, straw or gasoline do not mix.
Keep plenty of space between
them.

Home Fires Up,
Statistics Show

Residential fires are on the in
crease.
In making this announcement to-
day, the National Board of Fire
Underwriters urged householders
to eliminate home fire hazards dur
ing Fire Prevention Week. The
Board cited statistics for 1862,
which list 300,566 residential fires
in cities of $500 and over-6, 100
more than during 1861.
Pointing out that careless use of
matches and smoking materials
continues to be the leading cause
of fires, the National Board stres-
sed the Importance of taking the
following precautions:
1. Provide plenty of large ash
trays, and be sure they are used.
2. When emptying ashtrays, be
sure every match and butt is cold.
3. Never toss a lighted match or
cigarette into a wastebasket.
a. Before going out or going to
bed, be sure no butts are burning
on tables or under sofa cushions.
5. Never smoke in bed!
While there are many other spe-
cific rules for home fire safety,
basically fire prevention is Simply
a matter of keeping the three ele-
ments of fire-heat, fuel and oxy-
gen apart. This means seeing
that actual and potential sources
of heat FLAMES, sparks, electric
wiring and appliances, furnaces
and heaters) never come in con-
tact with combustlble materials
(wood, paper, fammable fabrics
and iquids). Or, if the source of
heat and the combustible mater
ial are already in contact las, in
the case of oil-soaked rags, which
can ignite spontaneously, it
means cutting off the supply of
oxygen (keeping the rags in a
tightly covered metal container).
The National Board suggests
that every householder make a
thorough check of his home and
his habits with this basic fire pre-
vention principle in mind.

Plant Owners
Hold Key to
Fire Safety

The National Board of Fire I'm
derwriters reported in the past
week a continuing upward trend
in fire losses that will, unless re-
versed, bring 1855 total well
above 1925 peak of S815,O00, 900.
NBFU's prediction is based on
total fire losses in the United
States for the first six months of
this year, which stood at $432,-
0S1 ,000-6.8 per cent over losses
of $4O4,653,000 registered for the
same period last year.
The continuing high losses, the
NBFU explained, result from vari-
Gus factors at work in the nations
economy, in particular mounting
production and greater values ex-
posed to fire. Such losses unques-
tionably would be even higher, the
NBFU added, were it not for ma
jor advances in fire prevention,
construction, safety measures and
improved methods of fire fighting.
Because there is a definite cor
relation between large-loss fires
Chose over $250,000 which account
for the major portion of the ma
TONS total fire loss billy and the
dispersion of industry since the
end of World War II, the NBFU
warns companies moving out of
cities to make certain they have
adequate fire protection.
