Yes, I'm Guilty!

Folks sometimes criticize ns small-town editors for the way we often play up “little things” ahead of big ... human, local news in place of world events. I can’t deny it. Read the Clarion and you’ll learn about the Martins’ golden wedding anniversary . . . about the community sing down by the river ... the husking bee at Sober Hoskins’, where neighbors helped husk the corn, and later drank sparkling beer together. “Little things?” Maybe. But from where I sit, they add up to the

bigger things we call America: The friendliness of small towns ... the helping hand ... the respect for one another’s rights. And above all the love of fellowship and freedom — whether it’s freedom to speak one’s mind or choose between a glass of beer or buttermilk. I figure that if everybody looks after the “little things,” maybe the bigger things will take care of themselves.

of the best records of any contract flying school in the country. More than 6,000 young men passed through the school, with a total of 25,000,000 flying miles and only two boys were lost. War Department officials said the record established by the Ocala school was one of the best and highly complimented Mr. Han-

ley.

Since the end of the war, Mr. Hanley has returned to Muncie to resume the operation of the Ford Agency. Mr. Hanley belongs to the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Muncie Rotary Club, Delaware Country Club, the Muncie Club, the Indianapolis Athletic Club and Wings, Inc., of New York, an organization composed of top-ranking aviation men. He is also a director of Ball Memorial Hospital. He has always been active in civic affairs. He has served as president of the Muncie Rotary Club, the Delaware Country Club, the Muncie Club and the Muncie

Armory Board. He also served a term on the Beech Grove Ceme-

He helped organize

the Ford Dealers’ Association of Indiana and served as its first president for two years. Mr. Hanley served for nine years on the board of trustees of the Indiana Reformatory at Pendleton and was president of the board for the last five years. He resigned that position to establish the flying

school in 1942.

He served as chairman of the Democratic veterans’ committees for Delaware County during the campaign years of 1932 and 1936. His father, M. T. Hanley, for years was general superintendent of the old Republic Iron and Steel Company plant in Muncie, before entering the automobile business. The father still is active in civic affairs and observed his eightyseventh birthday anniversary last

Beatrice Wysong, county vice-chair-man, is in charge of this work and being assisted by many precinct women workers. William Connolly Jr., is city chairman for the Democrats and is being assisted by Oscar Shively, county chairman. Jesse (Red) Rogers, central committee secretary and Leo Voisard are also headquarter workers. The Republicans have also opened headquarters downtown, with County Chairman Fred Reasoner at the helm. Their past week performance appeared to be a veterans organization meeting with Court Asher, X-Ray distributor, billed as the principal speaker in Heekin park. Taft Hook Baited For Suckers Only Ordinarily when celebrities take a vacation they go fishing for bass, shad or great northern pike, but Senator Taft, Ohio’s aspirant for the GOP presidential candidacy in 1948, is on a great fishing expedition with his hook baited for suckers only. Taft with his retinue and 36 newspaper reporters are touring the Western and Middle Western states in search of Taft for President delegates to the GOP National Convention next June. If the suckers bite and the catch is favorable, Taft will make a public announcement of his candidacy I on his return. Despite all the fanfare of the | tour, Taft has avoided making any public statement about its being a part of his campaign for the presidency. He says Tie is on a mission of explaining the record of the recently adjourned Congress to the people. If that is the only purpose of his tour, he might as well have gone fishing for some real seafood. He could have helped the people to get a bird’s eye view of the recent Congress by buying up a few thousand copies of the voting records prepared by the New Republic and the CIO News and sending them out under his frank.

SCHOOL CHILDREN TO AID IN “SAVE THE SHADES” DRIVE

1 Indiana public and parochial school children—three-quarters of a million strong—will participate in the statewide campaign to “Save the Shades", Governor Ralph F. Gates announced today. Participation, while entirely voluntary on the part of individual students, will be statewide, the Governor said, reaching into almost every classroom throughout Indiana. Plans for pupil participation In the public schools were worked out by Ben H. Watt, superintendent of public instruction, and the State Board of Education. Participation by parochial schools is being worked out with diocesan superintendents, the Governor said. The “Save the Shades" campaign, which lasts through Sept. 30, is sponsored by the Indiana Department of Conservation which hopes to develop the historic 1452-acre scenic and recreational area near Crawfordsvllle as Indiana’s 15th state park. Schools are now being supplied with campaign materials, including the certificate pictured above which will go to each student participating. The certificate, on which each student’s name will be printed by the teacher, bears in its four corners pictures of the Indiana state bird (Cardinal), the blossom of the state tree (tulip poplar), the state flower (zinnia) and a white oak tree. The white oak is official emblem of The Shades campaign since the park contains one of the last remaining major stands of white oak timber in the Midwest. In a bulletin to all public sehool superintendents, Mr. Watt characterized the school campaign as “an excellent citizenship project” and pointed out that each pupil gift is “an investment in the future of Indiana.” He added that participation by children in such an effort, “builds up an awareness of citizenship responsibility.”

—— o——-—— ' Delaware County Farmers On Trip

More than 1,200 Indiana farmers, representing practically every county in the state, left Indianapolis Thursday, Sept. 11, on the three trains of the “Pacific All-West Expedition,” sponsored by the Indiana Farm Bureau, Inc.

Before returning on Sept. 23, the j, pie had answered it.

one state in Mexico and three 'patient needed

provinces in Canada, covering

nearly 8,000 miles. .

Reported by railroad officials to be the largest civilian railroad movement in America from one point over such a distance, the trip will afford Hoosier farmers an opportunity to study the farming conditions in other sections of the North American continent as well as give them a much needed vacation ... most of them the first vacation ever experienced. Several had never been on a train before and many had never eaten or slept on a

train previously.

the Greek people away from the Fascism which they have followed since the end of the war. The new premier is said to be anti-Fascist, liberal and at the same time anti - Communistic. Observers believe that Sophoulis would like to see his country free from the domination of both Russian Communism and AngloAmerican capitalism. He would like to have friendly relations with both the Western and the Eastern powers without being dominated by either. He has promised a new election to the people of his country as soon as the “pacification” of the country will permit it. He has promised to bring about many needed reforms in the government including a new tax system which will “throw the weight on the wealthy classes.” Hithierto the rich of Greece have been almost completely free from taxes and the elimination of the black market. Sophoulis has offered amnesty to all guerillas who surrender “as soon as possible.” He is said to believe that his amnesty offer will meet with favorable reception from the guerillas, but if the offer is rejected, he says he will proceed to “stamp it out.” He expressed great faith in the UN and said he was confident that

story of suffering, danger, and rescue. For in Miami’s Jackson Memorial Hospital a Negro woman lay ill, awaiting an operation which could not be performed Until she had been strengthened by blood transfusions. It was a rare type of blood that was required, “a type of blood so rare” that, as the newspaper put it, there was “no hope of obtaining enough for her needs from donors of her own race.” The Dade County blood bank had already given the only pint of that type of blood it had. It was not

enough. -

Some will cite it as an example of the way in which people of every community ought to regard each other’s welfare. The Miami Herald was impressed to the point of remarking, “Not the least part of the story is the fact that the twenty volunteers are White people. The patient is a Negro woman.” It continued, “What a contrast we have here with the sordid story the other day 'from Ahoskie, N. C., when a luncheon club there

But there is something else about this story. Referring to the blood bank’s practice of segregating the blood from White and Negro donors, Dr. John Elliott, blood bank director of Dade County, said, according to the Herald that “there is no reason for such segregation other than the prejudice of some persons

who obtain blood.”

That prejudice must disappear before the faets—the scientific fact that there are four types of blood which may be found among all the races of mankind—the same blood in the White donors as in the Negro patient in the hospital. One blood. The religious fact, stated by St. Paul in Acts 17:26, that God “hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the

earth.” One blood.

Religious, moral, and scientific truth are one in teaching us how wrong racial and religious prejudice is—how right, how eternally right, is charity and justice among men of every race, relig-

ion, and national origin. White Minister

Denies His Race

Grapes are Ripe for Jelly and Jam

Madison, Wis. — A young minister spent his first day as a “colored man” today after turning his back on the white race so that he could fight discrimination more effectively. The Rev. Kenneth L. Patton announced in his sermon yesterday that he was “throwing in his lot with the people of color.” He said he crossed the color line with the “100 per cent support”

By BETTY Year after year grape continues to be America’s favorite jelly. Well, there really is a reason . . . and the true .proof is In the eating. Delicious grape spreads offer so much in the way of variety — and colorful spreads enhance any meal. Now that sugar rationing has ended, homemakers everywhere will Nvelcome the opportunity to replenish their jelly shelves. The jellying strength of pectin is less in fully ripe fruit than in under-ripe fruit. Our grandmothers could buy no pectin so they had to use under-ripe fruit to “set” their jams and jellies. This often impaired the flavor of the finished product. Today, however, pectin in convenient bottle or powdered form may be added to the fully ripe fruit and sugar assuring a firm and tender texture. Here are two favorites for your jam cupboard: Grape Jelly t 4 cups juice ' 7 cups sugar % bottle fruit pectin To prepare the juice. Stem about I pounds fully ripe grapes and crush thoroughly. Add % cup water; bring to a boil and simmer, covered, 10 minutes. Place in jelly cloth or bag and squeeze out juice. Measure 4 cups Into a very large saucepan. (Concord grapes give best color - and flavor. If wild grapes, Malagas, or other tight•kinned grapes are used, use 3%

of his wife.

The 26-year-old pastor of the First Unitarian Society said he would consider himself “one of ■the colored people” and would sign questionnaires, “colored.” Patton said he got his idea from Sinclair Lewis’ novel, “Kingsblood Royal.” In the book, Neil Kingsblood, a young Minnesota banker, discovered he had Negro blood. Disgusted by a growing movement against Negroes in his home town, Kingsblood revealed he was part Negro. Patton said he had searched his own ancestry and found he was “part Indian.” He said his Indian blood was not more than “one sixty-fourth.” “I am determined to fight this silly and vicious discrimination against colored people,” he said. Patton also proposed that all non-Caucasians band into a “united colored race of the world.” He said it would unite Negroes, Orientals, Indians and “all the so-called white people who are tired of being white people and have decided to move in with the colored.” He said he hoped the movement would grow because it would jam up the “machinery by which discrimination is allowed to carfy on.” The organization’s members would wear lapel pins to distinguish them as “colored.” He said the pins would enable them to check on discrimination in hotels, -eaq; ‘sutbj; ‘sassnq ‘s^uamjaede tres, restaurants and other pub-

lic places.

“The congregation took it in their stride when they heard me renounce the white race,” Patton said. “After the sermon, several members asked to join the ‘united colored race’.”
