Text transcribed from caption: PC-46133 SCHOOLS FIRE-BOMBED IN BOOK DISPUTE CHARLESTON, W. Va. -- Students arriving at Kanawha County's Midway Elementary School are greeted by a burned-out door after it and another elementary school were fire-bombed as violence escalated in the controversy over the use of supplemental English textbooks in public schools in the county. Both bombs exploded in the schools before any children had arrived. Pupils were taken to neighboring schools for classes. Demonstrations against the books began with the start of the school year in September. Protesters have charged that the materials are anti-Christian and anti-American. Statements from protesters indicated that they have adopted an intransigent attitude and will not wait for a review committee, appointed by the county board of education, to officially determine the future of the books.

Rob’s mother, Frances Cousins, fearing for the safety of her 12-year-old son, wrote to the Voorhees asking if they’d have him back. He’ll be in Minnesota a year, and “then we’ll figure things out from there,” Mrs. Voorhees said. “If the situation is still the same over there and his mother agrees, then he’ll stay. If she wants him back, then he’ll go.” To Rob, the return to Minnesota means “getting to drive the tractor and feeding the cows and sheep. It’s so good here. There’s no shooting here, no bombs and I’m not scared.” The boy is hoping his mother will come to visit him in Minnesota, but her finances are limited. The Voorhees, who have no children, paid for his trip back to the farm. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (A-MIN-9D-74-DS)

Spinola, who came to power in April, has announced plans for granting independence as well to Angola and Mozambique. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (A-LIS-9B-74-DS)

Va. -- Protest signs and American flags were the order of the day as 200 persons marched on the Kanawha County Board of Education offices in Charleston to demonstrate against the use of certain textbooks in the county’s schools. The protest began shortly after the start of the school year when parents kept their children from classes to protest English texts they consider a threat to patriotism, religion and morality. The parents contend some articles in the books contain passages detrimental to their religious and moral beliefs, and introduce their children to drugs and unpatriotic beliefs. The protestors set up picket lines at the county’s coal mines, railroads and manufacturing plants, keeping many workers off the job. This led a federal judge to order marshals into the area to prevent violence and enable the workers to return to their jobs. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (A-CHA-9B-74-DS)

LOUIS -- Chairs which last year held faculty members stand empty during services opening the 136th academic year at Concordia Theological Seminary in St. Louis. Concordia, the largest Lutheran seminary in North America a year ago, is now the smallest seminary of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. Fall enrollments for the Synod’s Concordia Seminary in Springfield, Ill., and for St. Louis’ Seminex, known as “Concordia Seminary in Exile,” will both be more than double that of Concordia in St. Louis. Seminex was created last February after Dr. John Tietjen was suspended as president of Concordia and most of the 450 resident students and more than 40 faculty members declared a moratorium on classes to protest the suspension. The striking faculty were dismissed and they and the dissenting students set up Seminex. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (A-SL-9B-74-DS)
