Letters To School Prayer Issue Aids Reds Dear Mr. Editor, According to a bulletin by the United State* Department of Agriculture, the Russians, have made it a criminal o f fenae to neglect farm machin ery. This drastic action isn't hard to understand since the machinery, land and crops all belong to the State. American farmers learned years ago to neglect their farm machinery was an act against their eco nomy. "By the sweat ol Thy Brow Thou Shalt Eat Bread". Of course the Russians would not know anything about that, but the discontinuance of Bible reading and prayer in our schools is right up their alley. Why not amend the 1st am mendment to the Constitution of the United States by adding Church and State shall not mix beyond Bible reading and pray er in our schools. And speaking of schools remember the words of Booker T. Washington, "Soc ially we are divided as the fing ers, but economically we are as the hand." J. C. Church Uniontown, Pa. Judge Holt Gives Us O.
