Mental Patients, Retarded Had A Merry Christmas

The 18,000 patients in Indiana mental hospitals and schools for the retarded had a merrier Christmas because of the warmhearted response of the people of Indiana. Every patient received gifts during the ward parties sponsored by many ozganizations in cooperation with the Mental Health Association. If you had not participated in the Christmas gift collection, thousands of the patients without families and friends would not have received any remembrance during the holiday season. The Putnam County Association for Mental Health is now planning to make next year an even happier occasion for the citizens of Indiana who have the loneliest "disability.” Every patient appreciated the gifts received and they were just as happy about sending Christmas greetings to their families and friends. Next December chapters of the Indiana Association for Mental Health will again provide new cards for the patients in all state hospitals and schools. You can help make this a successful project for the patients by contributing new greeting cards which you did not use this year, and leftover wrapping paper and ribbon for use in wrapping the patients’ gifts next year. Your contributions may be delivered to Donelson Drug Store. Further information will be obtained by contacting Nettie Utt., chairman of the Hospital Volunteer Committee of the Putnam County Association for Mental Health. Jailed Saturday Elden Stokes, 45, Indianapolis, is in the Putnam County jail awaiting a court appearance on a theft by deception charge. Stokes was turned over to Deputy Sheriff Paul Mason, in Danville Saturday afternoon, on a circuit court warrant. Stokes was booked at the jail at 5:05 p. m. Mrs. McNamara Dies MENLO PARK, Calif.

17 More Americans Wounded By Reds

SAIGON UPI — Communist guerrillas wounded 17 Americans, including a college student on a “working vacation” in South Viet Nam, in attacks south of Saigon Sunday, it was announced today. Eleven of them were in hospitals today, the student in serious condition with a head wound inflicted by a terrorist grenade. The others were treaed at Army dispensaries in the Mekong Delta area. A U. S. military spokesman said the grenade, which wounded the student and four companions killed a 12-year-old Vietnamese girl. 20 Years Ago Mr. and Mrs. Don Riley and daughter, Patricia, were here from Indianapolis. Miss Judy Friend was home from Indianapolis where she was a cadet nurse at the Methodist Hospital. Dr. and Mrs. J. F. Conrad and son were visiting in Vincennes.

Four other Americans were wounded while trying to rescue previously wounded comrades-in-arms. A helicopter sent to rescue him was hit by ground fire 2,000 yards away. The pilot and co-pilot, although both wounded, picked up the wounded officer and carried him six miles to a division headquarters, where all three sought treatment. Red terrorists threw a hand grenade into a crowded restaurant at Mo Cay, 49 miles southwest of Saigon, where the student was lunching with four U. S. Army men. The blast killed the Vietnamese girl and wounded all five Americans and 15 Vietnamese. The 23-year-old college student still was unconscious and fighting for his life this morning at the U. S. Navy Hospital in Saigon. His four companions also were hospitalized, but were reported in good condition. The student is Van D. Bucher, an undergraduate at Wagner College in New York City.

Johnson Must Risk Popularity WASHINGTON UPI — The National Committee for an Effective Congress says President Johnson will have to risk his popularity and offend some supporters if he is to move the nation toward new goals. The committee, a non-par-tisan group with liberal leanings. made the statement in a staff report Sunday night. The committee endorsed both Republicans and Democrats in the November election on the basis of whether they would help “in reducing Goldwaterism” in politics. The staff report said the American people had “voted emphatically to confirm our country as it has been in the recent past and as it is today, but they have given no discernible mandate for tomorrow.” “Lyndon Johnson now stands before a vast horizon on which he, more than any other individual in the world, can determine where the road should go,” the report added. Ex First Lady Enjoys Skiing ASPEN, Colo. UPI — The most famous tourist in this snow-packed mountain resort town turned in early Sunday night while most of the vacationeds here whooped it up at parties. Mrs. John F. Kennedy and her children, Caroline, 7, and John Jr., 4, were in bed by 8 p. m. after a full day of activity which began before dawn. The widow of the late President and her children attended 7 a. m. mass at St. Mary’s Catholic Church with the Robert Kennedy family, then ate breakfast at Aspen Meadows Lodge, the plush resort where they are staying. Despite an open invitation to more than a dozen parties, the former First Lady chose to stay in her room and rest after a morning of skiing instruction on 7,900-foot Buttermilk Mountain, a “beginners” slope three miles west of Aspen. Plans Are Made To Move Plant ANDERSON, UPI — About 350 workers here today faced the prospect of moving or finding new jobs in the wake of the Pierce Governor Company, Inc., announcement it would move its plant to Upland. The plant closed down last week, the latest development in a United Auto Workers Union strike which began early in November. President Leland Boren of Pierce said the firm could not economically maintain the 65-year-old building housing the plant and would build a 100,000 square-foot building on a 40acre site in Upland, a Grant County community of about 2,000 population. The plant makes mechanical governors, automatic chokes and jet engine components. A dispute over pension provisions was blamed for the strike by Local 940 of the UAW. Boren said the company planned to move around May, 1965. Firm officials made no comment in their announcement Saturday about the futures of its Anderson workers but said negotiations were under way with two unidentified firms for use of the plant site here. Couple Found Dead In Auto ELKHART UPI—An Elkhart couple separated while awaiting divorce action were found dead of carbon monoxide poisoning Sunday in a car parked in a lover’s lane behind Oslo Junior High School. Police blamed a leaky muffler in the car’s exhaust system for the death of James McCavitt, 27, and his estranged wife, Margaret Ann, 21. The couple, who had three young children, had recently filed suit for divorce but Elkhart County Deputy Sheriff James Newton said he believed the couple were considering dropping the action.
