Religion And Schools Is Explained

Non-religious holiday parties and symbols are still permitted in public schools, but those having a religious basis are out, according to Robert B. Turner Jr., Dade County assistant superintendent for general education. The entire question of religion in the public schools is before the Florida Supreme Court, but this is the procedure being followed by the School Board until the case is settled. Turner, in a memorandum to the Coral Gables Elementary School PTA Board, explained the decree handed down by Circuit Court Judge J. Fritz Gordon May 10 following the cases of Chamberlin vs. the School Board and Resnick vs. the School Board. According to Turner, public schools may still hold holiday parties and display Christmas trees and other symbols and decorations which are not religious in nature. But plays around Christmas time depicting the birth of Christ, and around Easter of the Crucifixion of Christ, or Hanukkah Jewish religious ceremonies and other religious holiday ceremonies are not permitted on school property. Judge Gordon's decree permits the creation of religious symbols and their display on a temporary basis and the singing of religious hymns in school and also permits the wearing of religious sumbols by pupils. But the showing of motion pictures which are in some degree religious and which depict various religious happenings, principles, ideals and teachings, are prohibited. The decree does not affect private or parochial schools. Judge Gordon's decision is not being appealed by the School Board, which felt it was a fair one, but the case is far from dead. Neither of the parties who filed suit to end completely all vestiges of religion in the public schools were satisfied with the ruling and appealed the decision to the Florida Supreme Court. And the Council of Churches, which joined the suit as intervenors in the early stages, have also appealed the decision to restore religious practices as they had been permitted before. An early skirmish occurred before the Supreme Court Nov. 6. The Court ordered the filing of briefs by both sides, and there the matter lies.

City Names 2 Architects

Two architects have been named by the Coral Gables City Commission to design two proposed buildings - a new club house at Granada Golf Course and a tennis pro shop at Salvadore Park. They are James Ferguson, who will design the club house, and William Merriam, who will design the tennis pro shop. The buildings are not in this year's budget, but may be built next year.

Dunmire's Engine Analyzer Similar To Television, Aircraft Trouble-Checkers

"The Dumont Engine Analyzer actually is an oscillograph similar to those used in television and adapted for use on automobiles," says Gilbert Dunmire, owner of Dunmire's Garage, 241 Almeria Ave., where the Analyzer is put to good use every day. "In fact," Dunmire says "this very machine may be used in small aircraft. The idea of one has been used for the past few years in aircraft, with the engine analyzer actually appearing as one of the controls on the flight engineer's panel." "The flight engineer spots trouble so fast that the pilot may radio ahead for the needed part, and it is waiting when the plane lands. "As for autos, this amazing engine scope tells the mechanic at a glance how all the cylinders are functioning, and points up such troubles as fouled spark plugs, broken distributor wires or defective wiring, or any defect in the ignition system. "For example, today on a missing engine, the analyzer showed the number two cylinder misfiring. I pulled the plug and found it fouled. The job was done in ten minutes. Pinpointing the trouble saved time and eliminated the need of having to disturb anything else," Dunmire explains. A check with the Dumont Engine Analyzer is only $2.00 at Dunmire's Garage. If the car is found to need repairs, you are charged only for the actual work done and not for the analysis. OTHER EQUIPMENT Other late equipment includes a 1956 model John Bean Visualiner for wheel alignment. From a mirror beside the auto wheel, two circles of light reflect on a calibrated chart, showing exactly how far the wheel is out of line. Variations from 1/4" to 4" can be registered with the highest degree of accuracy. This eliminates the need for time consuming measuring on this job. Eash car is corrected to the manufacturer's specifications. A Stewart Warner Wheel Balancer also is used on wheel work. Now is the time of year many customers have their cars checked and put in safe running order. This includes a thorough safety check of brakes, wheel alignment and balance, headlight adjustment, electrical and cooling systems. Also, Gil will bring to your attention anything that might cause trouble to your car. "... we like our customers to come completely satisfied and say, 'Their car ran fine.'" The integrity and quality of the work done at Dunmire's Garage has brought him an extensive clientele of women who, with no men in the family to advise them, depend upon Dunmire to keep their cars in perfect running order. He takes great pride in the confidence placed in him. So bring your car in and have a "Dunmire's Safety Preventive Checkup." Dunmire's Garage is open Monday through Friday 8:00-5:30 and Saturday till noon. Gil Dunmire of Dunmire's Garage, 241 Almeria Avenue, Coral Gables.
