DEMOPOLITES
I
By Mrs Be#y McCom6ck
Many guesm were in Demopolm for
Christmas on the River, and Jim and
Ernestine Rogen were especis]ly pleased
to have their son, James B. Rogers, Jr of
New York, who was the grand marshall
for the festivities. Other guests of the
Rogers was another well-known son,
Mabry Rogers of Birmingham, Katie
Bealand and Mary Coleman, Denise
Rogers-Brindley and Zachary, Debra
Pont, a p fessionsl photographer from
New York, and Mary Hayworth
Spottswood of Birmingham.
Other visitors were Mr. and Mrs. pete
Sloss and Mr. and Mrs Leo Kaysa, and
Bill Spencer of Birmingham. Several bus
loads of guests were here, including some
from Birmingham, and it would be
impossible to list everybody, but I am
glad the weather turned out to be so
beautiful for the river parade, even
though it was a bit windy on the river
bank.
Much has been said recently about the
con oversy resulting from the Supreme
Court ruling banning prayer in school
Twenty or thirty years ago, when prayer
was permitted before classes began, it
was unheard of for children to carry
knives or guns to school or elsewhere for
that mat,but now we are living in scri-
ous times, and there is more crime com-
mitted than ever before. If you think that
it should he permissible for a short prayer
to be said at the beginning of the school
day, and you would like to sign a petition
for this request to be sent to the Supreme
Court, please go by and Demopolis
Public Library and sign the potifi if
yon have not already done so I am a finn
believer of the separation of church and
state, but I honestly can see nothing that
violates our Constitution by letting stu-
dents hear or recite a prayer at the begin-
ning of a school day.
Duplicate bridge was played in the
Civic Room of the Commercial National
Bank Monday afternoon. Winners were,
first place, Peggy Massengale of

The Colonial Book Club met on Nov.
18 at The Caterers. Absentee hostess was

comed by Patty Herren. Sue Hughes,

cliches and familiar sayings was giving
by Catherine Meador. She told of the ori-
gin of''Go whole hog," "Mad as a March
hare," "Raining cats and dogs," and 'Let
the cat out of the bag." This was most
interesting. The program was given by
Joy Mackin and she reported on the life
of C. S. Lewis. His biography was very
intermting and the presentation was most
enjoyable. Delicious refreshments were
enjoyed during the social hour.

Hughes presided and thanked the hostess

intmming. Refreshments were thorough-
ly enjoyed. The next meeting was be on
