Rh I move to amend by inserting "and churches" after houses. [Seconded.]

It is moved and seconded to amend the resolution by inserting the words "and churches" after the word "houses." Are you ready for the question? [No one rising, the chair continues:] As many as are in favor of the amendment say Aye. Those opposed say No. The ayes have it and the amendment is adopted. The question now is on the resolution as amended, which is "Resolved, That rural schoolhouses and churches should be used as social centers in so far as such use does not interfere with the uses for which they were designed."

I move to strike out the word "rural."

[the motion not being immediately seconded, asks]: Is the motion seconded ?

I second the motion.
