the main speaker was a woman,
Federal Judge Jane Brasch, of
Harlingen. Judge Brasch pointed
out her duties as obeying the laws
of the Constitution and trying cases
by those laws. She stressed the
responsibilities of the public in
serving on county, state and
federal juries, as called on.
A forum was conducted on youth
conservation, and a member of the
Audobon Society, who called
herself a "birder", pointed out that
this area is unique in being a
corridor for the numerous migrato-
ry birds that pass through this area
as they migrate from north to
south and back.
Mrs. James Shaffer, Education
chairman, related that several high
school teachers are attending
workshops in math and history,
sponsored by the Meadows Foun
dation, at Pan American Universi-
ty. These workshops are being held
to help teachers implement the
essential elements in curriculm in
the classroom.
Mrs. John A. Pope, Jr., Public
Affairs Department chairman, re-
ported on the numerous amend-
ments and referendums recently
voted on, specifically the referen
dum on horse racing. Mrs.
Peterson, Texas Heritage
chairwoman, reported on the
change from appointment to elec-
tion of the State Board of Educa-
tion.
Mrs. Roberto Cruz, Reports
Chairman, asked members to hand
in their program reports for
forwarding to the GFWC STDFWC.
Members voted to collect items to
be sent to the M.D. Anderson
Hospital in Houston.
Mrs. Alfonso Perez, Program
Chairman, introduced Mrs. James
Shaffer,who presented the pro-
gram, "The Bill of Rights in

tions to print anything; the
censorship by government of public
speeches, petitions, meetings, etc;
the right of criminal justice to hold
citizens without stating cause,
discrimination of races and creeds
Members discovered that all of the
statements involved the Bill of
Rights.
Mrs. Shaffer pointed out the five
basic civil rights guaranteed under
the First Amendment of the
Constitution and illustrated one
right, that of freedom of speech,
with observations concerning two
articles on court cases.
One case concerned a school
newspaper and its rights to publish
articles on current subjects such as
divorce, runaways, and teen-age
pregnancy. The school adminstra
tion stifled the newspaper and a
case was brought to court defend
ing the right of responsible journal-
ism.
Mrs. Shaffer summarized
another article on the freedom of
publication of rock n-roll lyrics and
jacket covers. She described the
mortification of a mother on
discovering that the jacket of a
rock-n-roll album illustrated explic
it pornographic material, and.
consequently, her suit against the
distributor of the album, who
escaped prosecution when he
agreed not to sell the albums in her
state.
The pros and cons of "rock-n-
roll" continues in the courts
whether some lyrics are obscene,
satanic, promote drugs, and are
detrimental to youth.
Mrs. Shaffer concluded, "The
Constitution, like the Bible, has
some good words It is also, like
the Bible, easily manipulated,
distorted, ignored and used to
make us feel comfortable and
protected. But we risk the loss of
our lives and liberties if we depend
on a mere document to defend
them
