New OP Council Resolution
Avoids Church-State Issue

By the Oak-Woodster
Many Oak Parkers were sat-
isfied this week that a contro-
versial resolution introduced at
the Feb. 20 meeting of the Oak
Park Council has been with-
drawn and a substitute measure
inserted on the official records
of the city.
The original resolution, passed
on the eve_ of Brotherhood
Week, called for the formation
by the city of a citizens com-
mittee to aid Our Lady of Fa-
tima Catholic Church, which
was completely destroyed by
fire on Feb. 17.
Immediate charges of in-
fringement on church-state in-
• dependence were raised by the
Rev. D. W_. Rogers, of the First
%Baptist- Church of Oak Park,
• and the Greater Detroit Evan-
gelical Minister's Fellowship.
In the weeks between the two
Council meetings Rev. Rogers
met with R. Hugh Dundas, the
Councilman who introduced the
resolution, and the two men
came up with a new proposal,
which was in accord with the
spirit of the original resolution,
yet avoided the church-state
controversy.
In clarification, the state-
ment issued by the two men,
which was also signed by
Mayor Richard W. Marshall
and Councilman Joseph Suit-
er, called attention to the fact
that the objection was not
over the formation of a citi-
zens group to raise funds for
the church, but that it was a
"matter of principle over a
resolution which seemed to
indicate city sponsorship and
direction of the actions of such
a committee."
At Monday's meeting, the new
resolution was read and passed
unanimously. It resolves that
"the City Council authorize a
campaign to be conducted with-
in the city amongst its residents
and businessmen to assist the
parish in their problems of re-
building."
Each of the Councilmen com-
mented on the substitute reso-
lution, acknowledging that it is
- in the city's best interests to
recognize the historic sepera-
tion of church and state as es-
tablished in the United States.
Councilman Dundas," who in-
troduced the present resolution,

said he and .other members of
the Council Were aware of the
dangers that might evolve from
the original proposal.
He acknowledged the basic
assumption that Jewish organi-
zations have insisted upon in
dealing with church-state issues
in other spheres when he said,
"Once there is a leak in the dike,
it becomes easier the next time
to go farther and still farther
in making new resolves."
That is why we feel, al-
though it may be splitting so
many hairs, that it was an im-
portant piece of revision and a
necessary one. The fact thA
the Council voted unanimous-
ly to rescind the old resolution,
and pass on the substitute
measure indicates positive
thinking which is good for the
city of Oak Park.
The committee formed by the
Mayor previously was dissolved-
officially, but re-formed with
the original members who in-
sisted they still want to contin-
ue their work.
The committee, which is es-
tablished as the Oak Park Citi-
zens Emergency Fund, is accept-
ing contributions, not alone to
aid Our Lady of Fatima Church,
but to help out in any emer-
gency situation.
A campaign for funds will
soon be launched by the com-
mittee among private citizens,
businessmen and at industrial
plants in the city. Contributions
may be sent to the committee,
in care of the City Bank, 13701
W. 9 Mile, Oak Park 37, Mich.
