It's during these coffee con-
claves that the Springfield
Circle recipe exchange is con-
Quoted - but never on a for
NAL basis. Somebody says
something about a new recipe
and somebody else wants it
and we go from there" she
said.
Mrs. Dickard IS a lady who
has been "pinching and pat
ting" all her cooking career
and finds it hard to be exact
when giving directions.
Il use a pinch of this and
I can tell by the feel of the
dough, or the consistency of
something if it's going to turn
out all right or not" she said.
While many cooks buy
"store-bought" pies rather
than face the dilemma of
what to do about tough pie
crust. Mrs. Dickard's pie
crusts turn out tender and
flaky everytime "but / can't
tell you how I make it." She
has a favorite Sweet Potato
Pie recipe which she relies on
often.
Excellent for the summer
season is another recipe she
uses for stuffed squash which
she got from a friend who al
so cooks by "pinches and
pats" I'VE sat for hours try
ing to get this recipe written

we both do it," she said as
she handed the recipe to the
writer.

the effect of establishing that parti-
cular religion as one of the state. The
fact that the recital of the Official
State Prayer was voluntary on he
part of the student, as it was in the
New York case, does not change the
situation. The fact is, as the Supreme
Court majority held:
"When the power, prestige and
financial support of government is
placed behind a particular religious be-
lief, the indirect coercive pressure upon
the religious minorities to conform to
the prevailing officially approved re-
ligion is plain
Our American idea is that religion
is a personal matter over which the
individual exercises his own free will
and choice, that it is not the concern
of the state. This also means that we
have the right to be unbelievers, if we
so choose, even infidels.
If parents want their children
given religious instruction it is their
right and duty to instruct them in their
homes and in the churches of their
choice; and or educate them in denomi-
national schools, rather than the public
schools.
In this country many parents have
abdicated their own responsibilities and
left the care, education, religious and
other training of their children up to
teachers in the public schools. Certain
ly this should not be the case. The
school obviously fills in the gap left by
lack of or insufficient home training in
building the character, morals and
personalities of boys and girls. But
neither the school Tor the church for
that matter) should be given the en-
tire responsibility. 1t should-and does

ing.
Certainly we do not want God left

o or in the future. The u. s. Su-
preme Court did not say there could
be no prayer or mention of God in our
public schools.
All the high court said was that
the New York state school board can
not prescribe an Official prayer for
the school children of New York to
recite daily and the precedent set
in this case is that no state in the
Union may do so.
1t leaves prayer as a voluntary
matter of choice between the individual
and his God - and isn't that the way
we want it?

No "OfficioI Stote Prayer"
The U. 5. Supreme Court Prayer Decision

Suppose for a moment that State
Superintendent of Education Jack Tubb
and other members Of the State Board
of Education got together and drew
up what they called an "Official State
Prayer" to be recited every day by all
children attending the public schools OF
Mississippi.
Regardless of the personal regard
md high esteem in which Superinten-
dent Tubb and other members of the
Board are held by the citizens of Mis-
sissippi, if such occurred there would
be a storm of protest raised that would
be heard all over the state.
Any one official prayer" could
never meet with the approval of all
Christians, or Protestant Mississippi
plans, regardless of how non-denomi-
national it might be = and other faiths
would certainly be entitled to object
with good conscience.
But that is exactly what happened
in New York State.
The State Board of Regents adopt
ed this voluntary prayer which they
declared should be recited every day
in public schools following the Pledge
Of Allegiance to the U. S. flag:
almighty God, we acknowledge
our dependence upon Thee, and we beg
Thy blessings upon us, our parents, our
teachers and our country"
This is a beautiful little prayer
which does nothing more than acknow-
ledge debt to God and invokes His
blessings upon everyone - but the
CONTENT of the prayer was not the
question on which the New York Board
sought a ruling. Nor was the U. S.
Court asked IF children should be al
lowed to pray in school.
The question was whether or not
the New York Board of Education had
a right to prescribe AN OFFICIAL
STATE PRAYER for New York School
children = and that was the ONLY
question decided by the U. S. Court.
Obviously, as any clear thinking
person familiar with our U. S. Consti-
tuition would know, the New York State
School Prayer was in direct conflict
with the FirstiAmendment of the con-
stitution which says in part:
Congress shall make no law re-
specting an establishment of religion,
or prohibiting the free exercise there
Of;
The remainder Of the First Amend
ment prohibits "abridging the freedom
of speech, OF of the press; or of the
right of the people peaceably to assem-
BILE, and to petition the government for
a redress of grievances"
But it is the first part of the
amendment with which the Supreme
Court was concerned - an Establish
ment of religion"
1t seems obvious that the adop-
tion Of an "Official State Prayer" by
any state agency would give standing
and status to that prayer; that it
would, in fact, place one religion or

Blood AbnormuIities And
Smoking Habits Linked

A significant relationship be-
tween smoking habits and two
blood abnormalities was reported
by four Los Angeles medical re-
searchers.
The blood abnormalities have
been associated previously W 1T h
various diseases, according t O
Charles L. Heiskell. MD, James
N. Miller Ph.D., Herrick j. Aid
rich, Md, and Charles M. Carpen-
ter, MD. The abnormalities are re-
vealed by chemical tests showing
the appearance of substances not
found in normal blood
The findings resulted from a
study of 1,500 men and women
over the age of 25 living in an
agricultural community who volun-
teered for blood tests, the re-
searchers said in an article in the
current Journal of the American
Medical Association.
The study showed that b o h
blood abnomalities increased with
age in men and women, they said.
However, when the effect of age
was held constant, there was a
significant correlation between the
incidence of the abnormalities and
Increased cigarette smoking, they
said. The correlation, they added,
was significantly closer in m n
than in women.

ing frequency of serologic (blood)

are evident, in that the older SUBJ
jects are more likely to have
disease" the authors said "T h e
implications of the increased fire.
quency of serologic abnormalities
in cigarette smokers, when the eff
feet of age is held constant, are
less evident"
Further studies are in progress
to determine the significance of
these blood abnormalities in caus-
ing disease and their relationship
to smoking. they said.
One of the two blood factors
studied is the C-retaive protein
(CRP), an abnormal blood protein
which has been found in patients
with such inflammatory diseases
as rheumatic fever and in cancer
patients, the authors said. Previous
studies have shown that GRIP rare
ly, if ever, occurs in the blood of
entirely healthy Subjects, they said.
The other factor is an abnor-
NAL dispersal of chemical particles
in the blood, determined by a So
called seroflocculant (SFO tes t
they said, but the abnormality has
been found frequently in patients
hospitalized for cancer as we'll as
a variety of noncancerous diseases.
While these blood abnormalties
are subtle evidence of disease, they
are not indications of specific
diseases, the researchers said How
ever, smoking has been associated
with a wide variety of causally un-
related diseases, they said.

to correct the disadvantage of the
military physician when his pay is
compared to other federal doc
tors, especially in the lower grades
said F. ]. L. Blasingame, MD, ex-
ecutive vice president of the Amer
lean Medical Association.
In letter responding to a Dept.
of Defense inquiry on ANA views
concerning the adequacy of cur
rent pay and allowances for mill
tary physicians, DR.. Blasingame
pointed out that the ANA for many
years has supported legislation
and encouraged administrative ac-
ton which would attract and re-
tain well-qualified physicians n
numbers sufficient to meet h e
health needs of members of h e
Armed Forces.
The ANA believes that, in addi-
tion to steps already taken or plan
ned, it is essential for adequate
financial inducements to be PR
vided to place the military medi-
cal services in a more favorable
competitive position, DR.. Blasting
anne said.
To show the disparity in incom-
es, he said that a young physician
just completing his internship and
commissioned as a captain in the
Army or Air Force, or as lieut.
enant in the Navy, would receive a
yearly salary and allowances of
$7,985, while the Civil Service min
imum salary is $500.
After six years of service, h e
military doctor would receive S9,-
972 as a major or lieutenant COM
mander, while in the Civil Ser
vice he would be. receiving $13,510
or more. In the Veterans Admins
tration, his pay would be s12,210
or, if speciality board certified, $14-
041.
Only after obtaining the rank of
colonel or Navy captain and hav-
ing served over 26 years would the
military physician approach a pay
scale comparable to those for MDs
in other branches of the federal
government, DR.. Blasingame d.

fore we are not against change.
We only ask that the proposed
change be based on fact, not theory
that it be given revealing trial
before it is nationally adopted. We
want progress by evolution, o
repression through revolution"
Effects of Bills: Discussing drug
legislation, Dr. Smith pointed out
that bills now pending in Congress
in original form, Would have had
the effect of destroying the Amer
lean patent system as it applies to
drugs would have forcibly depriv-
ed American drug firms of the
fruits of their research; would
have instituted licensing for all
who wished to go into the drug
manufacturing business: wo uld
have subjected American drug
firms to the most minute and ir-
relevant inspection; would h ave
robbed the manufacturer of much
of the value of the trademark as
a symbol of pride in his product
and otherwise would have destroy
ed the incentives which have made
the American industry foremost in
the world"
He noted that the announc-
ed purpose of this legislation was
to lower drug prices, while statis-
tics show that wholesale drug
prices have declined in the past 10
years while most other prices have
risen.

Medical Freedoms
For Sick Defended

He called for action to preserve
the patients freedom of choice of
Q physician and pharmacist; (2)

Speaking at the graduation exer-
cises of the New England College
of Pharmacy, DIR. Smith warned
that, Without such freedoms 1t
would not matter much if a re-
ligious group sponsored a hospital,
if boy or girl wanted to study
medicine, pharmacy or nursing, if
