Sma Worlds Around Us By LYNN M. WATKINS (Register and Tribune Syndics. 19621 So World Goe Forward -Day After Peaceful Day Being concerned only with the immediate present 13 the one concern of all the crea lurcs of the forest, field, stream or jungle. They have no worry as to what may or may not happen tomorrow. They live from day to day, almost from hour to hour. A few species make small preparations for the future, but they don't worry about it. They display a pretty wise philosophy. They exemplify rather graphically the old proverb many of us could very well apply to our own daily lives that says, "Keep thou my feci. I do not ask to see the distant shore. One step is enough for me." Every bird that visits your garden or sings from the tree or hurries to some unseen destination has a genius lot living. It has a graceful way of accepting whatever pleas ures or obstacles are encoun tered, and makes the most or least of them. The field mouse, the rabbit or any of the lesser creatures that scurry in the nearby thicket or grass clump has ihr. same formula by which 1'. lives. Don'f Slay Sad If they are ever sf,d. they never remain that way for very long. If something hap pens to one of Ihe'.r fellows, they accept it as a part of living. What happened yes terday or an hour ago is com plelciy forgotlen in the joys and anticipations of the pres ent. They seem to remember only thai yesterday was safe ly passed; that again the sun is shining and the world is a very wonderful place. They greet each dawn after a restful night. During the previous day they have lived actively enough to be tired when the sun goes down, and by morning they are rc lrc.'heci. Not a single one car ries over a grudge from yes terday. Never do they awak en In the morning being "mad" at anyone or anything. The joy of living is never dulled by fears. To them ev en the fear of death holds no terror or meaning. . They do not understand it any more than we do, but they do not worry about something ihcy can do nothing about. They do not waste a single precious moment trying to make things different. They accept the world as it is, not as they think it ought to be. When the time comes, as it must to all living things, to lie down for the la.H time, the animal feels the change It somehow knows thai this Ls the final act. It may even want to return to the iden tical spot where it was born; or 11 may seek a quiet place In which to rest a little while. It will not try to analyze the reason it feels so strange and unnatural, but it may want very badly to hear Ihe sigh of the wind in the tree lops or the gurgle of water in a brook. It is possible that a bird will be ringing in Ihe ncarb; tree, possibly the same kind of song it heard when it firm Lana Turner Gets 'Quickie' Divorce Juarez, Mcxico-lUPIi-Blonde actress Lana Turned has re ceived a "quickie" divorce from her fifth Husband, West Coast sportsman Fred May.

MO Tissuf it tit h.t bu By LOUIS CASSELS UPI Correspondent A heated argument has been under way in America since last June 25 over how far the Supreme Court meant to go in its school prayer de cision. Some people have insisted that the court did nothing more than rule out an official prayer composed by state of ficials. On the basis of this narrow interpretation many public schools-including those in the nation's capital - have continued to require daily classroom recitation of the Lord's Prayer, which comes from the New Testament. Others have contended that the court left no room for any officially-sanctioned prayers or other religious exercises in tax-supported public schools. This broad view is reflected in a decision by the New York state commissioner of educa tion that it would be improp er for public school children to recite the fourth stanza of the Star Spangled Banner as a classroom prayer. Noted constitutional law yers, religious leaders and educators have lined up on both sides of the question. And all hands have had a field day blaming the press for the confusion. The argument may soon be settled - in the only way it can be settled - by the court itself. The court has agreed Jo rule during its present term on two cases involving the constitutionality of public school religious exercises. Case in Pennsylvania One case originated in Pennsylvania, where a state law rcquiiing dally Bible reading and , recitation of the Lord's Prayer. The Supreme Court is thus confronted with exactly op posite findings by lower courts on how the First Amendment applies to roll gious exercises in public schools. It will hear oral ar guments on the question and hand down its own decision before the present term ends next June. The case which the court decided last June involved a unique situation. New York, where that case arose, is the only stale in which official? have seen fit to compose an official prayer 'for public school use. But the Pennsylvania and Maryland practices now be fore the court are very wide spread in the United States. Prof. Richard B. Dieren field of MacAIestcr College. St. Paul, Minn., recently com pleted a survey of religious practices in 4.000 public school systems in all parts of the country. His findings are reported in a book, "Religion in American Public Schools." Just published by Public Af fairs Press. Regional Variations The survey indicates that Bible reading is a regular practice in about 42 per cent of America's public schools. There are wide regional vari ations; Bible reading is found in 77 per cent of the schools in the South, B7 per cent of those in the East, 18 per cent of those in the Midwest, and only 11 per cent of the schools in the West. One ihird of the nation's public schools conduct daily "homeroom devotional exer cises" which usually include the recitation of Ihe Lord's Prayer as well as Bible read ing. In sonic instances, the exercises include short devo tional lalks and singing of hymns. Again these practices are very common in schools of the South (liO per cent) and east (68 per cent) but quite rare in the Midwest (ti per cent) and West (2 per cent). Trying to guess how the Supreme Court will rule in the pending cases ts more-tlian-usually difficult. Two new justices have jointed the court since Ihe June 23 deci sion. And sonic of the seven justices who found the New York prayer imcnti.-.titii!ional may have based their finding Water Resources Board Slates Public Hearing Salem ilTf Tiie Oregon Water Resources Board will hold a public hearing here Oct. 31 on the John Day River Basin program.

Despite these elements of uncertainty, some observers feel that the probable ruling of the court is clearly fore shadowed, not only by the logic of the June 25 decision, but also by the consistent ten or of its rulings on the First Amendment in recent years. These rulings have empha sized that government must be strictly neutral in matters of religion. If the court bans Bible read ing and the Lord's player in public schools, there doubt less will be quite a national reaction. But it might not be as explosive as the one which greeted last June's ruling. During the past three months, many Protestants who were initially shocked by the prayer ruling have concluded, on second thought, that the Supreme Court actu ally struck an important blow for relgious freedom and church-state separaton. Some major Protestant bo dies, including the Southern Baptist Convention and the Disciples of Christ, have spe- cifically commended the court for the prayer ruling. Although Catholics and Jews also have strong feelings on this subject, Protestanto will experience the greatest impact if the court outlaws Bible reading and pmycr in public schools. Cathniics and Jews have not relied on pub lic schools for religious edu cation of their children. Pro tectants have - to a lar great er extent than mary of them realized until the prayer rul ing woke them up. i-i ! -n '" "1 L .. . STATE REPRESENTATIVE Honest Capable Experienced Pd. Pol. Ad. by S.
