Editorial Short Shorts:

In the beginning, the United States was certainly what
would today be called an under-developed country. Everyday
life in the towns and cities of the colonies that had gained
ent from life in the towns and cities of the Roman Empire
Tools and methods had changed little in two thousand years.
The new Nation had no net capital; in fact it was heavily in
debt and operating on borrowed money. There were no rail-
roads, no factories, no steel mills. Many other countries were
far ahead of us in the principal economic assets of the time.
The United States lad only one asset of major import
ance and that was not an economic asset at all but a pol
itical one. 1t was the idea Of a limited government.

Guest Editorial:

When a law is passed, or a court decision made, which is
repugnant to the majority of the American people, history
shows that it is usually ignored. That is what we would expect
to happen in the case OF the decision of the u. S. Supreme
Court concerning the recital of prayers in schools.
Why the supreme Court of the United States agreed to
hear this case is beyond cur understanding. The case was one
of protest against the fact that the Board of Regents of New
York state had recommended a non-denominational, 22-word
prayer which might be said in public schools.
But the fact that the supreme Court did decide to hear
the case, and did rule that it was against the Constitutional
guarantee OF religious freedom to permit prayers of any kind
in public schools, could bring up innumerable additional
questions for the court to answer.
fit is against the Constitution TO say a prayer in schools
or in any state assembly in order to enforce separation of
or in any state assembly in order to enfore separation of
church and state, is it legal to have SIN God We Trust" on

Swear in" witness on bibles, should we throw out our nation
al anthem, and had we better invaEdate the Declaration of
independence which speaks of ga firm reliance on the pro-
lection of Divine Providence?
Endless questions arise when the courts most recent de-
cison is considered.
Fortunately, however, as we were brought up to under
stand things, the majority of the people in this country are.
still the final arbiters Of such matters rather than the high
court. So we assume that a decision which is entirely unre-
spected by the people will be impossible to enforce and we
can just forget it until the day, which we hope will never be
when government storm troopers break into the schools and
drag a pupil off to Jail for reciting such antiAmerican lines as:
Almighty God. we acknowledge our dependence
upon Thee. and we beg Thy blessings upon us.
our parents. our teachers and our country"
This was the prayer that caused all the controversy.
Meanwhile, we suggest that increased public attention be
given to the actions of our highest court a court which

and then bans the recital of a s simple prayer.

Up And Down
Main Street
BY Cliff Urseth

Teachers are finally coming into their own. That's what
a report from the National Education Association points out.
According to the report, most teachers are now making
more money than janitors. Teachers are now on a $27-a-year
average above that of a Chicago school janitor.

QuotdbIe Quotes:

An average woman's vocabulary is said to be about 500
words. Small inventory, but think of the turnover.
Personally we are not superstitious, but when we are
crossing railroad tracks we know it's a bad sign to see a train
coming.
To enjoy garden work, put on a wide hat and gloves, hold
a little trowel in one hand, and tell the man where to dig.

SITTER PROTESTS

You may or you may not print this letter, but I truly wish you would see if some of these work ing mothers could swallow this Kapsule of the bitter truth.
 To the working mother. Who do you working mothers think you are fooling?
 Certainly not the baby sitter.
 We are wise to the fact that some of you mothers just won't accept your duties to bathe, dress, and feed your children before bringing them to the baby sitter.
 Maybe we should say you are just plain lazy. You would sooner turn the alarm clock off and sleep an hour or so longer then grab your children from bed wet, messy, and hungry and then dump them at your baby sitter and then play the role of very, very busy mother and hurry off or she might be late for work.
Kodiak mirror., 1962-11-02

What would mothers think when you came came after your children after work and found your chil- dren in the same manner as you left them with your baby sitter? I know you wouldn't appreciate it at all So why don't you try to show some respect for your chil- dren as well as the baby sitter by getting up one hour or so earlier and taking care of them-bring- ing them to the baby sitter, happy, sweet and clean. Pm sure you will get the same respect.
 Sincerely,

efforts to thwart a bank hold
up at Accokeek, Md, on jan
uary 18 got official commenda-
tions yesterday from the Prince

Each received special cita-
tions bearing the county seal
and signed by the commission
ers for an "act of heroism be-
yond the call of duty of a citi-

Clanahan and Richard Knowles,
both employees of the Chesa-
peake g. Potomac Telephone
Co.; Robert Perrygo, owner of
a hardware store next to the
bank, and Homer Gibson, who
operates a nearby gas station.
Together, they apprehended
two young bandits within two
minutes after the $10,516 hold
up of the Accokeek branch of
the Waldorf Bank. They had
the suspects in custody and face
down on the ground outside the
bank before police arrived.
The commissioners citation
TO each man said that by their
"Own courage and initiative"
they helped in the capture of
the armed bandits without re-
gard for personal welfare
and safety and at considerable
risk of life and limb"
The citations were presented

members of their families, and
officials of the bank and tele-
