Eight returnable bottles of co*ke in a convenient plastic carton It 's a great way to enjoy delicious Coca Cola Because you pay only for the co*ke not the bottle OR the carton By LOUIS CASSELS UPt Religion Writer The yearbook of American churches is the most reliable source of religious statistics available in this country which is not saying much There are no official government gathered figures in this field because the US Census Bureau is afraid someone may think his religious freedom is being infringed if a censustaker asks him where 7 anywhere he goes to church So the yearbook has to rely on reports submitted voluntarily by the 247 religious denominations Some of the reports are out of date and others are carelessly put together But enough denominations keep accurate statistics to make the overall figures a valid index to basic trends in US religious life The 1971 yearbook is out this week It confirms that 1969 the latest year for which complete statistics are available was a bad year for most US churches SIN IN DECLINE Six of the 10 largest religious bodies reported declines in membership They were the Roman Catholic Church the United Methodist Church the Episcopal Church the United Presbyterian Church the Lutheran Church in America and the American Lutheran Church The declines were not large generally amounting to less than one per cent But any decline at all is significant when an annual increase of at least one per cent is needed just to keep peace with population growth Total US Church membership as computed by the yearbook increased from 128469636 to 128505084 a gain of only 35348 far oelow the growth population tnat modest gam was made possible by conservative Protestant denominations such as the Southern Baptist Convention and the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod They withstood the religious recession better than their more liberal counterparts and posted slight gains rather than losses in membership for 1969 CHARLES REDERICK on the Atlantic In living impersonal and the distant there is an imperative need for a revitalization of the traditional desire of the individual to be helpful to persons less fortunate and to contribute in some way to the betterment of society Today faced with growing numbers of children and adults who are crippled by accident andor disease annually the Easter Seal Society of Alabama depends upon public response to the Easter Seal Campaign to enable them to provide the expanded service needed We hope the people of Jackson County will give IPrniiclri Alabama Schools Education is the biggest business in Alabama and nation for that matter Over $500 million annually is dollar volume of the enterprise in Alabama with Alabama citizens being the prime stockholders and beneficiaries Education in Alabama is largely a state activity since $63 of every dollar spent for education comes from the state Alabama ranks 4th nationally in the percentage of state money provided for education 5th nationally in the percentage of federal money received by Alabama schools and 47th nationally in the percentage of local money provided for Alabama schools In 1969 the Alabama Legislature enacted Act 33 which made it mandatory that every county in the state supply a certain amount of local money for the school systems in that county or face a complete cut off of state funds The 1971 72 school year will find many counties in a lot of trouble because of the local effort law This will occur for several reasons irst of all the local effort requirement is calculated on a county wide basis which does not take into account that in a particular county there may be a city school system which develops more local effort than is required while the county wide average would fall below the required level thus penalizing every school system in the county In addition counties are not permitted to count as local effort those which come to tne school system because of a federal installation being located within the county In Dale County the ort Rucker reservation occupies a tremendous amount of land area land which otherwise would be taxable In lieu of taxes the federal government makes a per pupil allotment to the school system but this money can not be included when calculating the local effort for Dale County At the same time many cities provide buildings roads utilities and supplies for a school but because the money for these facilities services and supplies is not carried on the books of the Board of Education they can not be included in calculating the local effort for the county Because the required local effort is determined by an average of several factors there will always be half of the schools below the average and half above the average Let us consider the case of Autauga County or the 1971 72 school year Autauga County must raise $12173300 'in order to be eligible for any state funds Assuming that every county in the state meets its local effort requirement then in 1972 73 Autauga County would again be short this time by $3113600 In 1973 74 with all counties again meeting their required local effort Autauga County would be short $1948500 It is generally agreed that local schools should receive more support from within the geographic area they serve However under the present law the penality is too severe for the crime involved Under a strict application of the law a county could be short as little as ten cents ($10) and still be penalized the full amount of state funds normally allotted to that particular county One remedy here would be to penalize the county a corresponding amount of state money as the county failed to raise locally It would be helpful if the procedure for calculating the amount of required local effort could be tied to a fixed index figure for say a five year period and at the end of the five years the required local effort would be recalculated for all counties This would seem just and equitable provided the penalty for failing to meet the required amount of local effort" would be adjusted to that outlined in the preceeding paragraph Sentiment on Capital Hill is running high for amending the required local effort law to embrace some of the points which have been described here If some relief is to be obtained citizens must study the situation and express to their legislators their feelings on the subject of required local effort A better 'formed citizenry should help to create a climate in which our schools can thrive About Alacama Schools" is prepared and distributed by the Alabama Eduction

volume of Alabama marketing farm supply and related service cooperatives says Dr Ray Huddleston Extension economist However there is a slight decrease in the number of memberships and organizations The total gross business volume handled by Alabama cooperatives amounted to $1583 million adds Dr Huddleston This is a 135 per cent increase from the $1395 million reported in 1967 68 Dr Huddleston notes that cooperative membership in Alabama totaled 69 120 in 1968 69 a two per cent decrease from the 70540 reported in 1967 68 Tire drop continues the long term trend of declining cooperative membership due to the decreasing number of farmers in Alabama and the United states WORLD ALMANAC ACTS The term indi was popularized by Herbert Hoover during his presidential campaign of 1928 The
