Edward G. Robinson Has Heart Attack Beverly Hills, Calif. -OIPD-Actor Edward G. Robinson, 64, was stricken with a heart attack and hospitalized today in Nairobi, Africa, where he was starring in a movie. Robinson's butler, Frank Hoyle, reported from the act or's home that his employer was taken to Princess Eliza beth Hospital in the capital city of Kenya. "We just got word this morning," Hoyle said, "but we won't know how serious the attack is for three or four days." Hoyle said Robinson's wife, Jane, was with him at the Africa location site. Religion in America Pastors Still Recommend Against The Religious Mixed Marriage By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International For many years, pastors had one word of advice for cou ples contemplating a religious mixed marriage. The word was: Don't. This is still the first and best counsel they have to offer to the young people who are thinking of marrying outside their faith. But they now recognize that it cannot be their last word on the subject. In spite of all warnings, mixed marriages are taking place in large num bers. Unable to prevent them, pastors are seeking ways to make them work. SECTION B PAGES 1 to 8 MedfordWTribune MEDFORD. OREGON, MONDAY, JUNE 18, 1962 Rifle .

Dick Knight Go. 8th at Riverside "There has been no change in the church's opposition to mixed marriages," Fr. John C. Knott, director of the Cath olic Family Life Bureau, said in an interview. "We still say they're hazard ous and ought to be avoided. But we are trying to take a positive approach to the ones which do occur." Breakdown Rate A similar view was express ed from the Protestant side by David R. Mace, president of the National Council on Fam ily Relations. In a recent issue of the Christian Advocate, Methodist magazine for clergy men, he pointed out that inter faith marriages have a break down rate "between two and three times higher than that of marriages within the same faith." "It is still a good policy to warn young people of the haz ards involved-and to do it in time," Dr. Mace said. "But the stern realities of the situation demand that we consider what to do if such a marriage docs develop." Both Fr. Knott and Dr. Mace are convinced that a mixed marriage has a far bet ter chance of survival if the partners avoid the temptation to treat religion as a taboo subject. Share Convictions Instead of shying away from religion as a potential source of friction, Fr. Knott said, a Protestant - Catholic couple should "try to build up the religious life of the family from the common elements ! of their belief." "They may find," he said, "that they share more im portant convictions than they had realized. After all, both of them are Christians." He suggested,, for example, that Protestant and Catholic mates join in grace at meals, in saying the Lord's Prayer, and in reading the Bible. "They can start a little ecu menical movement on the do mestic level," he said. Dr. Mace said it is extreme ly important for partners in an interfaith marriage to "study carefully the meaning of each other's faith." "If they can see some way in which to unite in religious loyalty, that is best of all for the harmony of their mar riage. But if not, they owe it to each other to take each other's convictions seriously. to know just what these con victions are, and just why they are held." Substantially similar hut more detailed advice is offer ed by the Rt. Rev. James Pike, Episcopal bishop of California, in his book, "If You Marry Outside Your Faith" by Har pers. This book, first pub lished in 1954, is now out of print, but a revised edition is due for publication in August, and will include an inexpen sive paperback version. Bishop Pike points out that arguments about religion are seldom the real problem in a mixed marriage. The greater danger is that a husband and wife will maintain a "studied silence" about religion - and therefore about all of the deepest and most important questions of life. Bishop Pike believes that this conspiracy of silence has such a devastating effect on a couple-and also on their children-that it would be far better for them to quarrel about their beliefs which "at y T;fA TIRE VN Cy "' " ' i l l ii ii n urn ' ' ill i inn ii i nil in mi turn mm n i If you're concerned about safety but conscious of price . fiFNFRAf H mm r J IV f AT. in Premium Quality At A Low, Low Price!

But it is not really neces sary to choose between silence and a quarrel, he says. The best solution of ail-indeed, in his opinion, the only satisfac tory solution-is to "face the subject frankly together" and try to find common ground. Bishop Pike says it is psy chologically disastrous for one partner to sacrifice his own rnnvirtinns nnH nrrnnl his mate's simply for the sake of harmony. Ei "What is called for is an open-minded examination-to-gether-of the positions and claims of the two alternative traditions represented by the couple, or of any other likely possibilities." If this joint exploration does not unite the couple in the same church, he says, it will at least lead to "a better understanding and a deeper appreciation of each other's faith." Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn W. Watkini (Register & Tribune Syndicate, 1962 The LittU Black Rail It Pretty Hard To See Had the dry marsh grass not moved we would not have seen him at all, he was so small. When he turned and moved directly away from us he was so thin he didn't even seem to be there. He didn't stand over five inches tall. No wonder he is commonly call ed "little black rail." Doubly apt is the name, for unlike most of his relatives he is really all black. It has been said, and rightly, by out- doorsmen and students of bird behavior that the little black rail is as hard to observe as a field mouse. This little bird is really the "mouse" or the family, hardly larger than a robin or a blackbird. Because he hard ly has any tail at all, he even looks smaller than he is. His lack of tail makes him look out of balance. Seldom Seen Unfortunately, this littlest member of the rather large family of rails is not common; few folks have seen him. He and his little wife may be residents of marsh or swamp; may have lived there for years and raised numerous young ones there, but never I has been seen even by peo ple who have visited the area many times. The little "black," like all the rails, is the most secretive of birds. Thin Body Besides being very small, the rail just about disappears when he turns toward an ob server. Viewed from the side he is tiny, but viewed head on or tail on, he is so thin as to be almost out of sight. This body thinness, character istic of all rail species, is a decided advantage to the bird. He can easily pass between two cattail stems or any other sedge that stands but a cou ple of inches apart. All the rails are sneaky. They skulk in and out of the weedy marsh grass as if they were guilty of some crime. Many of the rails - the little black one too- make criss cross paths In the marsh grass. These pathways run in every direction; some are covered over on the top so that the j skulking rai is moving in ! a regular tunnel. j Although all the rails have i the ability to fly, they take j to the air with reluctance and and seeming difficulty. It is almost impossible to flush a rail. About the only way to do it is to run a '"oat through the marsh grass. If the dis turbance is close, the rail will 1 blunder into the air in a ! feeble, aimless flight, its legs dangling helplessly. i Plops Into Gran I It will fly but a very short distance, then plop down into the marsh grass as if it had been shot. But after the turn-, ble into the sedges all awk wardness leaves it and it scur ries rapidly away, following one of the many established passageways. 1 Because of the infrequcn-' cy of human sighting, few folks suspect the presence of the birds in the marsh. To sec the little black rail is to be amused. The tiny, up turned tail gives the little creature the appearance of a bird that was never quite fin ifhed. His stub o. a tail gives him an unbalanced look, and if he turns to face you, he's j hardly there at all. PREDICTS WAGE HIKE Washington -(UPIi- William C.
