ALL-The education Of John +.
Kennedy, as some call the Vienna
meeting, had one aspect which has
generally been neglected-possIbly
because the President did not feel
well. .....
But now, finally, It n begin
ming to come out: Despite all
their gold talk the Russians are
having serious troubles of their
own. Not only are they at odds
with the Communist Chinese,
they are beginning to lose ground
with the sO-caIled "neutraIs".
Reports coming here indicate
that Sekou Toure Of Guinea, gen.
orally assumed to be pro-Soviet,
Is cooling off perceptibly. In Egypt
the differences between Nasser and
the Russians are beginning to come
out in the open.
In Latin America there are re-
ports Of growing WEAKNESS with
Russian promises Of all sorts Of
help, but little fulfillment. One
Latin diplomat here said the fact
that Cuba had to ask the US
its "enemy"-for tractors illus
trated to many Latins how insig-
nificant Soviet help has been.
One other point emerged from
Vienna: the Communists are
very able when Il comes to be-
ing destructive. But when Il
comes TO making friends and
keeping them, they are not 80
good.
Rhrushchev apparently indicated
to Kennedy that he was prepared
to throw Cuba to the wolves, II he
won any concessions from the US.
This could, Of course, simply be a
clever Soviet tactic. What was not
so clever, though, was to take a
condescending attitude towards his
friend Castro.

this il hardly conducive TO promot-

81 a day grew into a fortune
through "dollar-cost averag-
ing"-a long term operation
wherein purchases are contin-
ued through normal times, re-
cessions and booms. It's
simple plan involving regular
investing of specific amounts
of money.
If this plan is followed con-
scientiously, the average cost
becomes less than the unit
price of the stock bought. The
Secret" of this system is that
the same dollar amount buys
many more low-priced stock
units than it does when the
market is high.
For example: Beginning in
December 1888, two dollars a
day were put aside. Every

years., the money was invest

From This Angle
Destroy Our Churches
By Les Kimble

voice was President Kennedys. Many po-
litical analogists believe that without such
stand President Kennedy would have lost
the election. 1t takes courage to clearly state
ones stand on such a controversial issue,
and courage is what we need in our public
officials Let us hope that the American
voter will insist that all candidates in the
future take a clear and unmistakable stand
on this issue or it will be allowed to drift
in whatever direction powerful forces can
push it. Such leadership will not be pro-
vided unless the American voter insists that
it be given, either by his vote or by COM
munication with his Congressman.
The recent statement by the Catholic
bishops seems to indicate that no change has
taken place in their stand on the aid-to-school
issue, which means that they will oppose aid
to-public schools unless they get aidto-
parochial schools Obviously the separation of
church and state will become an important
issue in the months to come Every Amer
lean should endeavor to understand this issue,
and fortunately, an article in Harpers Maya
zine for November 1861 provides clear and
fortnight discussion by Edmond Calm, en-
titled How to Destroy the Churches"
Mr. Calm does not want the churches de.
stroyed, but he is afraid that this is exactly
what may occur unless Americans awaken to
the dangers of ignoring our Constitution.
lead sentence under the title gives us the
theme of Mr.. Gains piece: "The clergymen
who are trying to break down our traditional
wall between church and state may-with-
out knowing it-prove to be religions worst
enemies" Mr.. Cahn's searching analysis
throws a bright light on the whole issue and
clearly exposes the can't hypocrisy, and
evasive arguments that surround it. Whether
you agree with Mr.. Calm not, you will be
stimulated to thought by the fresh viewpoint
presented.
All Americans who love their religion, who
love their church, and who love their coun-
try should read and understand this article.
Harpers Magazine is available at all of our
county libraries. The time required to read
this article could be an important half hour
for your religion and for your country.
Mr.. Calm ends his article: "A little can
dor, little courage, little intransigence ex-
hibited openly here and now-these will sure
ly preserve the integrity of our religious in
situations. The times have summoned u.s."

About Mr.. Davis

I have read your article "a
Dream Come True" In re-
CARDS to the dedication of the
Mt. Calvary Baptist Church
and being a member of same,
1 think the public has been
misinformed of Bro. James M.
Davis as a builder. In work
ing with Bro. Davis, 1 have
found him to be more than
just a builder.
A builder is person who
makes his living building and
it is no more than expected
for them to build buildings of
different types.
Since Bro. Davis don't make
his living building, think you
are taking something away
from him that he rightly de-
serves ON all buildings of this
size built today. There are
plans and instruments but on
this temple dedicated to God,
the plans in instruments were
in the head of Bro. Davis.

There is no mystery about the reason
our forefathers made the separation of
church and state part of our heritage - or
at least there shouldn't be. The reasons that
make this principle just as valid today as it
was two hundred years ago are written
clearly in the history of other nations.
We have seen in recent months consid
cradle discussion, controversy, and dissension
about government aid to religious schools or
about legislation in religious matters; blue
laws, aid-to-schOOls, belief in God, and birth
control have all appeared prominently in the
news in recent months. Because cOntrOver.
sial matters have become frowned on in some
circles, we have seen some strange attitudes
taken by individuals who should know better.
In one of the metropolitan newspapers
we have read where a high school principal
in Washington decided that the separation of
church and state was too controversial an
issue for his pupils to discuss. Why basic
principle of our nations Constitution should
be too controversial for discussion by high
school pupils is indeed hard to understand,
unless we've become so gutless that we per-
init fear of controversy or an alien phi
losophy to dictate what should be discussed
in our high schools. One would think that
such a news item would produce an over
whelming demand from our citizens that the
church and state issue not only be discussed
but clearly understood by every American
school child.
It is quite true that the separation of
church and state was radical idea when our
forefathers made it part of our Constitution,
but surely it has been part of our heritage
long enough and its results so beneficial that
no question should be raised in these times
of either its validity or value. The Supreme
Court of the United States should not be
forced to repeat and reemphasize this i'm
portant principle That the Court has been
forced to do so would seem to indicate that
the principle is either under attack by a
powerful group in this nation or that Ameri-
cans have forgotten about the principles that
made this nation where all citizens are
free to worship or not to worship as they
see fit.
In the past presidential election CAM
paign, only one voice, to my knowledge,
