The Tribune wel. comes letters on any subject. All letters must be signed and wlll be used on a space-permit- ting basis.) Dear Editor: As Student Council Advisor at Dayton High School, I would like to reply to the letter written by Mr. Fred Blenz, and printed on Thursday, March Iil, 197~. How typical it is that some people accept everything they h~x at face value without con- sidering the total issue. How ty- pical it is that we resort to l~bels and name callini; for anything we don't understand, i.e "UnAmer- Business and Professional Directory Johnson's ] OF DAYTON Full Line Refrigeration Service Rt 1, Box 264, Dayton Call 864.2771.

The United States govez~ment was established with a set of checks and balances distributed between three branches of gov- ernment: Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches. The Supreme Court, head of the Judicial branch, has many tasks, one involves passing on the constitutionality of challenged congressional and state laws. The court is responsible .for the pre- servation of all Americans' rights. For doing this you call them Un- Christian. They are unwhite, un- black, unJew, unIndian, unrich, unpoor ,etc but they are NOT UnAmerican. The founding fath- ers sought to prevent any govern- ment agencies from forcing reli- gion and other matter of person- al choice on freedom loving Am- ericans. To quote James Madison, the author of the First Amend- menf: "It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. Who does not see that the s a m e authority which can establish Christian- ity, in exclusion of all other religions, may establish with the same ease any particular sect of Christians, in exclu- sion of all other Sects? That the same authority which can force a citizen to contribute three pence only of this prop- erly for the support of any- one establishment, may force him to conform to any other establishmentin all cases whatsoever ?" It would seem to me that at least James Madison felt by sep- arating church and state Ameri- ca could preserve the "side of right, decency, and Godliness." It is sad indeed that we citi- zens permit or encourage non- compliance with laws with which we do not agree. If we teach any- thing to our youth shouldn't it be the respect of all laws. If each citizen or unit of government followed only those laws with which they agree, we would not have government *but anarchy. The student who wanted the position of chaplain abolished hasn't turned into an agnostic, but feels that it is not the school that has the task of dispensing prayer. Perhaps, it even harms the cause of Christianity by fore- ing it on all the students. How wonderful it is that we live in a community that offers religious training for people of all ages. We are also fortunate to have not .one but four churches each individualistic in its own be- liefs and practices. These church- es also sponsor Campus Life, an interdenominational youth group, for all high school students. These are the places our young people should receive their religious training, and gain their Christian foundations, because they have the experts who have dedicated their lives to that purpose. Yours sincerely, DAVID BEASLEY Dear sir: -911 N. 99W McMinnville Regarding the letter to the - - editor published in your paper.

HIGHWAY 99W at EVANS --- McMINNVILLE, OREGON found it rather one-sided and laced with facts qualifying one religion as superior ,over the oth- ers. I also found it rather humor- ous. There will always be people who get so psyched out over church and God, and try to throw it on everybody else. Isn't it en- ough that people believe in God, without having to pick a certain religion, and try and preach it on others. I don't believe that be- cause someone believes in God and has read the Bible, it gives him the right to tell other people they are unchristian or whatever. There is a time and place to Worship, and the individual should choose his own way with- out pressure from others who have faked themselves out. If a person can get so far out over religion, great ,but let the other individuals chose their own course ! I think that the Supreme Court gave the ruling that prohibits preaching in school a little more thought than .Mr. Bienz credited them with. We feel that it serves no purpose. It's just a TIME 'hon- ored ritual, without real meaning to the students. I'm ,glad that the st||dents can admit this to them- selves without any bad feelings, l~ecause we aren't faked out! Sincerely DOUG HOFFMAN Student Dayton High School curricular activity after school or in, th~ evening which cuts down the time they can spend at home correcting papers. I once figured I made about twenty-five cents an hour with the hours I put in just looking over and correcting high school math papers. Who else besides a teacher and a par- ent cares enough about youth to to work for that kind of wages for nine plus months and then return to summer school most summers or night classes to keep up with new trends? I have never yet seen a teacher whose wealth came from teaching. Professionally I 'have taught for ten years hitting every level, but in this district I am a concerned parent. I chose to marry a local man so my child after the death of his father might be educated iu a more moral locality than a teeming big city. Dayton seemed to have a good educational sys- tem plus moral citizens. I pray we can keep it this way. Sincerely, MRS. FRED T. BIE~qZ Dear Editor: I agree wholeheartedly with what my wife said this week, but she 'failed to Comment on one of Mr. Kulback's statements. I am referring to his statement when he said that we need to reshuffle i the deck in reference to the school board and the next elec- i tion in our district. Under the present circumstances when our board is upholding our Commun- ity standards, I am opposed to changing horses in the middle of 8nd their actions more than ever ! We need to, everyone of us, pray for God's help in defending our School Board members and also our standards of decency. Sincerely, FRED T.

It is a con- venience used to get into extra- curricular activities and cutting the cost of newspapers, annuals and other school publications and activities. It also provides student 'body funds. As for teachers and their nine month job!! A teacher in this state must spend four years in college initially plus a return" lat- er for a fifth year and then a re- turn every few years to keep certified. College now costs sev- eral thousand dollars a year. A business person puts in their eight bours and goes home leaving all at the job or gets paid for over- time, A teacher spends eight hours a day in the classroom and then most teachers spend far into the night correcting papers. Primary teachers cannot let students correct their own work for they cannot read well enough to read others work. Many more papers are expected a day from elementary students, usually a Math assignment, English, Sci- ence, Spelling, Social Studies and Reading -- 6 papers average per! student -- 30 students per class- room -- 180 papers a day to cor- rect and no preparation period in the elementary school!! High school students frequently cor- rect their own papers but they are more than one sheet long and must be looked over. Even so an English theme must be read, as must, each report in Science, So- cial Studies, etc. Averaging five or six classes of thirty students a day, this is again 180 papers a teacher might have to correct a day. They usually have a prepa- ration period; however, they also usually sponsor a club or extra- ~[~[~[~[film~M~n~m~fill~ = The Sweetheart Shop - 506 E.
