McConnell, President WILL CATHOLIC INTRIGUE AGAIN KILL FEDERAL AID TO TAX-SUPPORTED SCHOOLS? Dear Friend: For several years, as explained in the article in our enclosed May Bulletin (page 6), Catholic influ ence has killed bills providing Fed eral Aid,— (but not imposing Fed eral Control) — to public tax-sup ported schools,— because funds were not provided for parochial schools. Both the American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Indus trial Organizations have backed Catholic authorities. In post war years there will be great need for Federal help for public schools, particularly in ru ral areas. It is almost certain that the Mead-Aiken bill permitting funds to go to parochial schools will not pass. The great danger is that the bill of the Senate Committee on Edu cation (S. 181), which does not permit use of Federal funds for non-tax-supported schools, will be defeated by Catholic influence. That would mean children who most need school opportunities won’t get them. WILL YOU? 1. Write both your U. S. Sena tors and Hon. Brent Spence, Chair man, House Committee on Educa tion, to insist on aid to tax-sup ported schools without funds for parochial schools, and get others to write. 2. Get organizations of which you are a member, to adopt reso lutions to this effect; send copy to both your U.S. Senators,—to read into the Congressional Record,— and also get published in your lo cal paper. We must not, under the stress of war conditions, abandon the sound principle of complete sep aration of Church and State. Yours sincerely, Benjamin C. Marsh, Executive Secretary.

Johnnie Mae’s cousin is here look ing great, you ought to meet her if you haven’t hay jitterbugs. Fresh up, keep smiling two-thirds of the 7 Up will be leaving Friday the third.

F. at the Grant Street Drug Store. Bob Floyd picks up on his daily chores and Pearl leave from there. And now across to the Tuxedo— wonder why all of a sudden the boys stop going to the Tux was it because of the canteen or was it because they couldn’t do any better (money) We received a card from Ella Marie Cain, who is now in Bitely, Mich.

Make it fresh, chill it quick ly. and then pour it over ice. Cin namon or nutmeg is suggested to spice the iced froth. A sprinkling of allspice is another appetizing taste combination with coffee fla vor that you might try for variety’s sake. If you prefer to use whipped cream, follow a simple recipe call ing for the addition of granulated gelatin to thin cream. This whipped cream can be kept on hand in the refrigerator ready to use for sev eral days. When you make the dominoes, trim sliced bread of its crusts, and cut each slice in half.
