FARM-EZE
BELT
CONVEYOR
lets you feed
the right ration
to any group in
your herd...
from
one bunker
Now you can feed high producers,
medium producers, dry cows, heifer
replacements and dairy steers the
right nutrients m the right amounts
for top performance With no sep
arating out, no compaction of feed
Simplicity is the secret. Feed is
pushed off into the bunks by a light
weight plow traveling over the top
of the belt So feed is deposited
where you want it and without any
change in composition.
The Farm-Eze Conveyor operates
on low power 1-1/2 hp for the belt
and 1/2 hp for the plow It's safe
* For the cattle and the operator Call
Agway and ask for a Farm Systems
Salesman He'll be glad to tell you
all about this new, faster, easier way
to bunk feed .. including a com
pletely automatic system that mea
sures, mixes and distributes at the
touch of a button

Dear Editor,
An editorial examining the
pro’s and con’s of allowing
public school prayer is
important, but some
recognition that we have lost

decision for ourselves seems
to be in order.
There is no doubt that we
Americans have been losmg
our freedoms bit by bit and
nowhere has this been more
evident than in public
education. In return for state
aid, we are told what courses
are mandatory, who is
qualified to teach, how many
days the school must operate
each year, what constitutes
a safe school bus and what
building standards our
schools must meet - just to
name a few areas where the*
state gives us “direction.”
In return for federal aid
our schools are required to
meet various federal
“guidelines” which include
the racial balance of
teaching staffs and the
racial balance of the student
population, the latter, when
unsatisfactory, being
correctable by court ordered
busing.
Our courts on all levels
have determined what is
proper for schools and
educators to do and what
they can not do. Court
edicts govern procedure for

expelling troublesome
students; firing teachers;
and establishing dress
codes. After decades of
practice in our public
schools, public school prayer
was suddenly decreed to be
unconstitutional.
Understandably, the mam
concern of the people in
charge of our schools has
become complying with the
laws, regulations and court
decisions passed down from
on high. The education of our
kids took a secondary role
long ago.
At the time of the School
Prayer Decision there was a
story going around about a
school superintendent who
was making the rounds one
day when he noticed a group
of children kneeling in one
comer of a kindergarten
classroom.
He summoned the teacher
to the door and demanded
“What are those children
doing”.
“They’re shooting craps”,
responded the teacher.
“Oh, thank heavens,” he
said with relief. “I thought
they were praying.”
I don’t think it matters
whether school prayers are
allowed or not. What does
matter is that we regain the
freedom to make this, and
many other important
decisions, for ourselves.
