Mayor stalls prayer at council meeting after flag salute
At a city council session Mayor Edward Zarger refused to lead a prayer after Mrs. Maxine Skinner urged a prayer to open the meeting. Skinner led the prayer, becoming the first modern council meeting to begin with both a flag salute and a prayer despite the mayor’s earlier proclamation of a day of prayers for peace. The incident sparked talk on whether the practice will continue. In London, public health inspectors warn restaurants to spot dirty staff, cracked crockery, and greasy utensils as signs of possible unhygienic food.
