to strike this title. Failing in that,
and to show the fallacy of the pro-

by a vote of 17 to 13, after we had

voted against it, of course.

under the name of civil rights.
The bill, as it came to the Com-
mittee, had nine titles, or parts. It
was a 45 page bill, but I will at-
tempt to briefly outline its provi-
sions, together with the principal
committee amendments thereto.
Title One would make it a crime would apply in all cases of arson
to interfere or attempt to interfere an(j bombing. This was done on
with court orders in school cases. tjje same theory mentioned under

should apply to all cases. Title

and I would vote to adopt it, if
standing alone.
Title Three was probably the
most vicious and oppressive part
of the whole phony bill. Under it,

The evangelist posed the ques-
tion, "What are you going to do
with your life?". He pointed out
that it is a matter of individual
choice, as to whether one's life
is good, or bad. He read from
Ecclesiastes, relating Solomon's
thoughts on the subject.
Mrs. LaNoue accompanied her
