April U irt, v i aw m. i lvrX " And I Assure You Thtt; As Soon At The Junket Season ts Over, Congress Will Get Down To The Business Of Irr est idling Corruption in The Executive Branch Science Committee oa Yearbook of American Tbe function of the Christian Publications is described in tbe Churches as follows: "Corrects in a Christian manner impositions on the public in regard to Christian Science." Early tbis year, Rollyn E. Mayer of the Christian Science Committee on Publications for Indiana, wrote one of this column's Indiana publishers : -Mr. Kwsolving . . . refers in a wholly misleading way to Christian Science. It seems necessary therefore to state that Christian Scientists are law-abiding and responsible members of tbe community." This column has not mentioned the fact that currently among the nation's best known Christian Scientists are H R. Hakieman, John Ehrlichman and Egil Krogh Nor is there any implication here intended that the average Christian Scientist is capable of the criminal charges for abicfe these three former White House leaders have just beea Exbcted. What this column did report prior to Mr. Mayer's charge of -wboUy misleading" was the case of Cora Sutherland - tbe facts of which Mayer does not (and cannot) deny, except by w ay of innuendo For Cora Sutherland was a school teacher who exposed Ebousands of students' to tuberculosis because, as a Christian Scientist, she refused to bave an X-ray examination. She died ss !SS4, despite treatment by a Christian Science practioner. Eat, rebuts Mayer, "Tbey report all communicable diseases'. . . Any Christian Scientist known to be suffering from a communicable disease would naturally report it." Is it possible that the 1954 case of Cora Sutherland has now brought about such a reform that Mr. Mayer is accurate in tes statement tbat "any Christian Scientist would naturally report" disease? When tbe five-year-old daughter of Christian Scientist Dorothy SbertdaB contracted pneumonia in 1967 she reported it, al right - but not to medical authorities. Mrs. Sheridan reported it to a Christian Science practitioner, who prayed -wbiie tbe child died. A Massachusetts jury found Mrs. Shendaa guilty of contributing to the death of ber child. On Oct 1. 1972, tbe Connecticut State Department of Health received a report that at the Daycroft School, a Christian Science boarding and day school in Greenwich, tbere aas a suspected outbreak of polio. Tbe Health Departments Dr. DeWayne Andrews Er:aeiateh launched an investigation of the report - which, be tai this coJucm. was not received from the Daycroft School authorities, but rather from an M.D. in Greenwich. Tbe first of tbe polio victims became ill on Sept. 29. Dr. Andrews subsequently learned. ) When tests confirmed the report. Dr. Andrews ordered a quara'.une as well as mass immunization of the 128 students aad 25 faculty - a number of whom complained that this catrproG.ised tbesr Christian Science faith. Eleven of these youngsters suffered varying degrees of paralysis. Fre of tbe victims had been sent borne - thus exposing chiiirer is Sew Hampshire, Massachusetts and New York to tbe temble disease. . Tbe ecber polio victims were sent to the school infirmary. Sace scrae of tbe boys played football, Dr. Andrews rsxsred as ta bow a compound fracture is treated in this Qrsstasa Soence Kfirmary. Answer: "A cscp&aad fracture can be healed with 30 minutes of prayer." Wheat Dr. Andrews contacted another Christian Science school Pnacpta is St. Louis, in order to discuss tbe pibal;ty af a saulax epidemic, he recalls: Tbey aaeidBt even discuss the subject." Neither would tbe national headquarters of the Committee on Put&ca'jons. at Christian Science's "Mother Church"" in Boston, when I telephoned to inquire. MearwbJe. the Connecticut State Legislature still allows exesr-ption from immunization to private schools with strong reLgjous objection." It a fcrtusa:e therefore that in the Nutmeg State tbere are n reiwus fa&atics who practice child sacrifice - only those who allow tbesr children to be paralyzed, ratber than SHCiia'.ed Mayor of Hardman DEAR MISTER EDITOR : . Tbe feSers got to talking about old sayings at the country store Saturday night, and the session turned out kinda like the ewwboy that jumped in the saddle and rode off in all directions. Bug Hook urn said he had saw where this country spent $115 coHice on the Presidential campaign two year ago. making it by far tbe most expensive race in history. He said we spent ?w and a half times more gitting a President in 1972 than in 15Ct according to the General Accounting Office. Bug said he couldst ftgger whuther the report proves America got the best President money can buy, or you alius git what you pay fer. Gem Webster was of a mind that all the 1972 race shows is wtat he alius bad heard, that in a Democracy the people git tbe kind of Guvernment they deserve. If we're willing to accept a system that forces a candidate to spend $500,000 to git a job that pays $40,000 a year with no guarantee beyond two year. Gem allowed, we'll have to git use to the idee that them that dances pays the fiddler. General speaking. Mister Editor, the fellers was agreed you cant trust the old sayings. Fer instant, Zeke Grubb said be alius had beard that the three hardest things to do in this hfe is to climb a fence leaning toward you, kiss a gal leaning away from you and live up to yore compliments. All that is turned around now, Zeke said. The old pasture fence now is two strands of barb wire, the gals is chasing the fellers and you don't hear nobody complimenting nobody these days. F arthermore. went on Zeke, living up to yore compliments still would be a heap easier than trying to make sense out of American politics. Ever man that run fer public office went m on a promise to change everthing fer the better, Zeke allowed, and ever ooe after he got in explained that he w as jest one of many and he couldn't make no changes by hissetf. About the best we can hope fer out of Congress, Zeke said, is that some brave soul wiU sponsor a bill making it a crime to solve a problem by sponsoring a bill, stead of using some we already got. Even Ed Dootittle was agreed with Zeke on that. Ed said it alius has bothered him that ever state legislature and ever Congress measures their work by the amount of lavs it gits on the books during a session. Fer ooct, Ed said, be would like to see where a legislature reported that it had managed to cut 400 pages out of the genera statues, and had trimmed out 20 per cent of the wwds m what was left. If that approach caught on in the legislative branch, Ed said, thick what it could mean to the country if tbe idee spread to the executive and the judicial We might some day even git a court ruling a feller with no more than a, high school education could understand, was Ed's words. Yours truly, MAYOR ROY.
