To Mrs. Emma S. White and her eighth and ninth grade classes, it's a lesson in democracy. Mrs.

White will be 70 in August and she has to retire this spring after 48 years of teaching mostly history and civics. She doesn't want to quit. If she could rely on appearance and alertness instead of written records, Mrs. White probably could keep on teaching another 15 years. The election is an example.

A New York grand jury once probed the club, which for a while was owned and operated by gangsters Frank Erickson and Joe Adonis along with two Detroit underworld figures. It was closed in 1948 on court injunction, served briefly as a filming spot for TV shorts; later become Leone's, an Italian food spot, and finally a steakhouse.

Mrs. White A Lesson In Democracy Bishop Lashes Prayer Ban mm South Florida's Roman Catholic bishop took an opposing stand today to the banning of prayer and Bible-reading in schools, saying, "It is plainly contrary to the oldest traditions of our nation and does not represent the convictions or thinking of the majority of Americans." In a carefully worded statement, the Most Rev.

Coleman F. Carroll, bishop of the Diocese of Miami, said: "As Catholics we hold that prayer, Bible-reading and religious truth itself ought to be a part of the education of the child. For this reason Roman Catholics have gone to enormous expense and made great sacrifices In order to establish the parochial school system." Bishop Carroll said in his opinion no action should be taken in revising the First Amendment to the Constitution "until very serious consideration has been given to the question. "It would be prudent and wise to determine whether or not such a change may weaken or jeopardize the freedom guaranteed by the First Amendment to all Americans, the cherished freedom to practice one's religion according to one's conscience." "We have no way of knowing at present if the First Amendment were amended to allow a little religion, what other difficulties presently unforeseen would arise." The bishop's statement was part of the text of his remarks last Sunday at a mass for Catholic teachers at St. Mary's Cathedral here.

"They don't like communism, they believe in freedom, but they think freedom Is doing what they please." The youngsters are learning, Mrs.

White said, "and when they've stayed a few more years, I think they'll be just one of us. "But this election today is a wonderful opportunity to get across to them more of what democracy really is." Students have been following the candidates and "what they call their platforms," Mrs. White said. "The children have talked about the winners in the primary and what they stand for. "They're very much interested to know how this will come out.

All these Cuban children are for Mayor High every one of them." Mrs. White taught in Louisiana for nine years. She came to Dade County in 1925 and started teaching at Miami High. In fall of 1926 she went to Robert E. Lee Junior High and has taught there ever since.

Baker, who died last November, had sold Maytag 207,804 fhares of NAL common stock for $25.60 a share. Maytag then sold 100,000 shares of the same stock to a third party, for about $13 a share. The Circuit Court suit by Baker, and later by his estate, charged that this violated a "first refusal" right given Baker in the original contract. NAL today asked the Federal Court to stay proceedings until the Circuit Court decision. If that decision awards Baker's estate the profit difference between the two sale prices, NAL contends, the Federal Court should then award it to the airline.

NAL alleges in its suit that the stock was "an equity stock of the company," and that Maytag's sale of 100,000 shares at the then market price was "not in good faith."
