Freedom (?) of Worship
We are disturbed over a recent occurence in Galveston where
ttu mayor, police commissioner and chief of police went into a
church while services were in progress, arrested the minister in
the pulpit and hauled him off to Jail. The alleged offense was that
of making too much noise. We believe that brazen act of the elected
«*ffielai« outrages the sensibilities of everyone who believes in the
American constitution. The right to worship as one pleases is
guaranteed by that document, which was written to protect our
people against official oppression they had experienced in their
native Europe. Hie pulpit, even in the Dark Ages, was always
fcmwi.. as something of a sanctuary, inviolate from even the un-
believers and the infidels. God’s house held the respect of even un
godly governments. But in Galveston, no. The mayor who was
elected on a platform of approving wideopen sin and debauchery
has the pulpit He has sought to choke off the voice of God
with his own hands. He deserves the condemnation of the right-
eous people of Galveston.
It Is true the little church where the raid was made was not
one of the larger, more influential denominations. It was a Pente-
costal church, whose members are known to be rather demonstra-
tive in their religious zeal. Perhaps they were making too much
netae and disturbed some of the neighbors. But that was not reason
«^>.«gh for the strong arm of the law to take charge, in violation
of constitutional guarantees. There were other legal means of
quieting the congregation. The injunctive process was available and
th^.M have been used. Judicial process should be substituted for
the iron of the dictator. We believe other churches should pro-
test this outrage against religion, regardless of denomination. If
Galveston mayor is permitted to silence a minister by sheer
force of authority, then other denominations, too, had better watch

It IS hot, isn’t it? But if your own temperature is normal, then
you’d better do something about itl
The proponents of federal aid to education are "banking on
the hot weather and general apathy at home in their all-out efforts
to push through a huge federal aid to education bill during this
fttyipn of congress, a beginning we in Texas would Just as soon
1101 Hie national defense tag that this bill carries makes it particu-
larly appealing during this election year. But what of next year,
and the next, and 1970 and beyond,
A check in Washington would reveal that few, if any, spend
ing programs once begun have ever been discontinued. And you
may rest assured that this would be true of any federal aid to edu-
cation program.
Is the American businessman opposed to progress,
If it were so, it is doubtful that we in this country could have
created the wealth of Industrial resources now at our command
Is the American businessman opposed to education?
in no free country in the world has business supported educa-
tion to the extent it has in the United States of America.
e Is the American businessman opposed to sclentifk: advance-
ment?
Not in all history has science contributed so much toward the
well-being of the working man, the rank-and-file citizen, or to a
better way of life than has been true in America.
Is American business opposed to “stateism”?
And, of course, the obvious answer to that question is "yes.”
Business and all thinking people know that before the federal gov-
ernment can give a dollar it must first take that dollar.
Governor Handley of Indiana, in a speech in Richmond, Vir-
ginia, a few months ago made this thought-provoking statement:
“You would think that the economic professor, at least would
realize that no government can give a dollar until it first takes a
dollar. In the ensuing months let’s see how many of them really
do comprehend this simple truth.”
Are we In this great free land going to adopt that slogan so
succinctly put in the Wall Street Journal a short time ago: "A Dil-
lar, a Dollar, a Federal Scholar”?
If your own congressman does not know what you think about
this matter, he probably never will unless you take a few minutes
to tell him.
Yes, it is hot, isn’t it? Very hotl

B. E. Todd, of La Grange’s Ro-
senberg & Todd, presented a ve-
ry interesting program to the lo-
cal Rotary Club last week. The
story is one which goes back 20
years when Mr. Todd was a
school teacher and taught in the
Fayetteville High School. He
was the originator of Vocational
Agriculture in Fayetteville.
Among the boys he had in his
FFA organization in the three
years at Fayetteville were E. B.
“Tex” Mayer, Jake Fritsch, and
John Mikus. These three boys
are well-known today in Fayette
County and have all made suc-
cesses of themselves.
Mr. Todd reviewed the record
that the above three made as a
soil conservation team, winning
both Regional and State cham-
pionship in that division. Not on-
ly did they win first, but the
team set a record which stood
for many years as the highest,
and John Mikus set an all-time
record making nearly a perfect
score.
In addition to the conserva-
tion team, Mr. Todd told about
the swine projects of John Mi-
kus and Tex Mayer, and what
outstanding hogs they raised as
FFA boys.
The entire point of the pro-
gram was to underscore the im-
portance of FFA work and 4-H
Club work in Fayette County.
All three of the “boys” spoke a-
bout how FFA work had been
instrumental in their lives in ... ... ... ...

Mr. Todd made a point which
needs to be repeated. He said
that we do a lot of talking about
agriculture in Fayette County,
but that we need to do a lot of
talking, because, until we can
get some industry in to supple-
ment our agriculture, it is all
we have. Nearly all of our in-
come is from agriculture, he re-
minded. This is a good point our
educators and others need to re-
member. We are in a farming a-
COMPLETES TRAINING
Army Pvt. Daniel J. Klimek,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Adolph J.
Klimek, Route 2, Fayetteville,
Tex., recently completed eight
weeks of basic combat training
at Fort Carson, Colo.
Klimek, 22, was graduated
from St. John’s High School in
1953 and attended St. Mary’s
Seminary, Houston. He was em-
oloyed by the Randolph Compa-
ny, Houston, in civilian life.
Last Wednesday night fishing
and camping out all night on the
bank of the Colorado River was
enjoyed by C. A. Roensch, Mel-
vin Brnikman, Eugene Mach and
Marlyn Schielberg.
Mr. and Mrs. Gene Mach and
family of Sweeney spent a week
in La Grange visiting friends and
lelatives.
rea, and all of our incomes de-
pend upon fanning. No matter
what vocation a man may go into
after school, his training in
FFA and 4-H Club work will
benefit him.
Citing many examples, among
them Bernard Kruppa, Clinton
Harbers, and Jon Hagler, Mr.
Todd praised all of the business
leaders who take an active in-
terest in vocational training of
our youth. He stated that he
hoped more emphasis would be
placed on it as time goes by.
Fayette County has had an
outstanding group of agriculture
leaders down through the years.
To name them all would be too
great an undertaking, but we
would like to pay tribute in this
column to all of them in a gene-
ral sort of way. These boys and
girls who grew up in Fayette
County, many of them participat-
ed in 4-H and FFA work. And,
through this work, a spark of en-
thusiasm was struck which caus-
ed them to want to go on to ach-
ieve worthwhile goals in life, a-
mong them a college education.
Texas is filled with these boys
and girls who have gone out
from this county to make a place
in the world for themselves. Ma-
ny did not go directly into farm-
ing, it is true. Many went into al-
lied fields. Many went into other
fields, but as long as we are pri-
marily an agricultural people,
the early training in agriculture
will
many yeaife
come to all who participate in
that training.
The La Grange Rotary Club is
to be congratulated upon being
interested in Agricuture educa-
tion.
