Christian Youth Crusade Set For White Lick Baptist Group

Mrs. Brown’s and Mrs. Hurst’s Fifth grade classes at Miller School, under the supervision of Charles Aker, music director, entertained the P.T.A. last evening with songs of spring and a maypole dance. Marcia Hamilton accompanied the students on the piano. The maypole dance is one of the customs for May Day, which is celebrated as a

Thomas Reports On ’73 Session

Note: The following is a final legislative report from John J. Thomas, state representative for Putnam, Clay and Ow en counties. “Even though the 1973 Legislature is now history, it will be some time before history' will be able to evaluate the wisdom of the actions taken by that Legislature.” “Amid cnticism by some that the Legislature was mediocre at best, I will only say that no other Legislature in history has faced as many knotty problems as this one did. In 59 legislative days, decisions were made concerning such subjects as capital punishment, abortion, phosphate detergents, collective bargaining, 3-day emergency passes for certain criminal inmates, veterans’ bonus. Age of Majority legislation, Sunday liquor sales. Equal Rights Amendment, budgetary items and, of course, the property tax relief package.” “As 1 have previously indicated, I was called upon to take positions and vote upon these various issues, supporting some and opposing others. Many times, 1 may feel compelled to vote against a particular bill due to the fact it is badly worded, even though I may support the principle involved.” “It often becomes difficult to explain one’s vote to the general public, as they do not see or understand that a legislator can only vote for or against the exact wording of the bill pending before him. If I am on the committee where a bill is being heard and considered, I have the opportunity of amending it to more correctly state my thinking on the matter. However, it is much more difficult to amend a bill once it is up for full action before the House.”

“I have been asked by many as to whether or not I would recommend that a county council adopt the local option adjusted gross tax. My personal recommendation is that such a tax not be adopted unless the county council feels it absolutely cannot get by without additional revenue for the coming year, or unless it wishes

to give more local property tax relief than that afforded by the increase in sales tax and the new' corporate net income tax.” “My participation in legislative activities this past session has been an active one. I was honored to be selected the first Speaker Pro Tern of the Indiana House and presided over the House 22 dif-

ferent times. I was recently elected chairman of the Indiana Interstate Cooperation Commission and thereby will represent the state of Indiana at several regional and national meetings during the next two years. Of the 1253 bills introduced about 300 became law. Of those 300 I authored or sponsored 36 such bills, all of which have become law. This makes the second straight session that 1 have been the only legislator with a 100 per cent success record.”

“Many of my bills concerned the so-called Age of Majority legislation, all of which passed. I also successfully sponsored the teachers’ collective bargaining bill.” “This was my fifth session, and 1 have been able to keep my record of never missing a legislative session day. Since the first of this year I traveled a total of 10,000 miles in going back and forth to legislative meetings in Indianapolis, in addition to which l have spoken to various Please Turn to Page 2

Dr. Anthony Campolo Dolls At Library Here On display at the Green-castle-Putnam County Library presently are apple dolls from the collection of Mrs. Louise Sallust, 431 Anderson, Greencastle. The collection is expected to be at the local facility for two weeks. Mrs. Sallust said yesterday that she has been making the dolls for about nine years and added that once one gets practice in making the apple pieces, the works are “not really hard to make.” She added that she has given demonstrations on making the dolls at various events and before different groups in the area.

Truth is always beautiful and mercy becomes those who are strong.

An outstanding high school physics teacher will be honored at the annual meeting of the Indiana Section of the American Association of Physics Teachers at DePauw University Saturday (April 28). Some 100 physics teachers from Indiana’s high schools and colleges are expected for the all-day session in DePauw’s new $7.5 million Science and Mathematics Center. One of the main features of the conference will be the presentation of the Distinguished Teacher of Physics award to an outstanding high school teacher. Three other high school teachers will receive citations for their excellence. Dr. Hollis Johnson of Indiana University’s astronomy department will deliver the luncheon address, “The Stars and Man,” discussing many of the astro-physical phenomena of interest to physicists. In addition to Dr. Johnson's lecture, the program will consist of 23 ten minute papers of a variety of subjects ranging from carbon 14 dating research through holography to ruby laser power supply.

According to G.A. Kolbe, district manager of the Indianapolis Office of Dun & Bradstreet, Inc., there are 286 concerns listed in the March edition of D&B's Reference Book for Putnam County compared with the 300 reported 12 months ago. The D&B Reference Book does not include non-com-mercial services and professional business, Kolbe said. Therefore, the figure for total business in Putnam County, as well as the three million number quoted for the United States, is actually somewhat higher, it was noted. Kolbe also announced that Dun & Bradstreet is sending computer prepared forms with the key facts in file on a scheduled basis throughout the year to companies who are listed in the reference book so that the information can be reviewed and verified. Companies also are being asked to provide current financial statements. “The program,” Kolbe said, “augments regular calls by business analysts to update information and is one more example of D&B’s con-

tinuing practice of improving the accuracy of the facts it supplies.” Out of the total of almost three million manufacturing, wholesaling and retailing Please Turn to Page 2 Western Farm Store Plans Set When building is completed around the middle of next month, there will be a new western wear and farm outlet next door to the south of Brackney’s Feed Service, on Route 43 and U.S. 231 north of Greencastle.
