Worker charged in two deaths INDIANAPOLIS (API - An unemployed construction worker was being held without bond today in the shooting deaths of two of his former bosses, who were gunned down at two Indianapolis construction sites after the worker failed to find a job. Herbert Davis, 55, of Indianapolis was charged with the Friday murder of Jerry L. Horn, 54, of Bloomfield at a downtown construction site. Davis was to be formally charged today with the death of Harold Woodrow Etchison, 64, of Elwood, police said. Etchison was slain about an hour after Horn’s death at the Southport waste treatment plant, investigators said. Police arrested Davis as he stood by his truck near the location of Horn’s death. Davis told police he appeared early each morning for the past three weeks at the Laborers International Union of North America seeking a job. When there was no work at the union hall Friday, Davis said he traveled to the waste treatment plant about 7:15 a m., where he found Etchison sitting in his car in the parking lot. Etchison, a labor foreman for Huber, Hunt and Nichols Inc. was listening to his car radio, said Sgt. Ronald L. Beasley. Davis told Beasley he called out to his former boss, but did not remember anything after a brief greeting. Etchison’s co-workers found his body a short time later and thought he had suffered a heart attack. He had been shot once in the head and twice in the neck, Beasley said. The investigator said Davis then drove to another construction site around 8:15 a.m. and greeted Horn, a supervisor for F.A. Wilhelm Construction. Witnesses said Davis walked back to Horn, drew a gun and fired at least two shots at close range, striking the supervisor in the chest. When Davis was arrested shortly after the shooting, officers recovered a .38-caliber piston and a .25-caliber handgun.

'Serious problems' seen, conservation study says

Continuing present nationwide soil and water conservation trends would mean serious future conservation and farm production problems, according to a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) report. THE FINDING is based on an analysis of the condition and trends of the soil, water and related resources of the United States. The analysis was part of a report required by Congress in the Soil and Water Resources Conservation Act of 1977 (RCA), explains George Murphey, Soil Conservation Service (SCS) District Conservationist in Putnam County. The analysis shows that the demand for food and fiber produced in the United States would increase while technological advances in agricultural production would decrease. Without better technology to boost production, the demand to produce more food and fiber

will mean that more acres of marginal land will be farmed. The result will be increased soil erosion rates and other resource problems. IF THIS HAPPENS, the productive capacity of American agriculture would decrease and production costs would increase. The report says that these resource problems need to be addressed most quickly: Excessive erosion rates, upstream flood damage, ground water depletion and deteriorated water quality. TO PROJECT future conditions, the USDA analysis used a computer model to simulate the nation’s agricultural productivity related to erosion. Although the model’s results can’t be taken as absolute indicators of what will happen, they do show the relative direction of American agriculture and the possible magnitude of future resource conditions.

State senator seeks

private fireworks ban

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Sen. Joseph Corcoran wants to take the boom out of the Fourth of July by banning private ownership and use of fireworks. A bill to do just that was among 17 measures introduced Friday »n the Indiana Senate. Senate President Pro Tern Robert D. Garton, R-Columbus. assigned the bills to committee for consideration in the 1982 Legislature. Under the Seymour Republican’s bill, illegal fireworks would include firecrackers, torpedoes, skyrockets and Roman candles as well as toy pistols and toy long guns in which explosives are used. However, the ban wouldn’t apply to toy cap guns. Sen. Richard W. Worman, RLeo, is sponsoring a bill to require motorcycle drivers and their passengers to wear protective headgear. The mandatory helmet law was repealed by the Legislature in 1979. Indiana’s 4 percent sales tax wouldn’t apply to residential energy costs, under a bill sponsored by Sen. Johnny Nugent, R-Lawrenceburg. The exemption would only apply to sales of electricity, gas, water, steam and fuels used for a taxpayer’s principal place of residence. The exemption wouldn’t apply to resort homes, nor would it apply to telephone bills. Four bills dealing with In-

Dear Abby Husband's feelings come out at last DEAR ABBY: I have known for some time that my husband has been seeing another woman. I know who she is, but there’s nothing I can do about it. I took this man for better or worse, till death do us part, and I will never break my marriage vows. Yesterday I found a note in his jacket pocket. It was written in his own handwriting. It somehow made me feel better. Please put this in your column, Abby. It might help other wives, for I’m sure there are other husbands who feel the same way, but the animal in them is just too hard to control. FEELING BETTER DEAR FEELING: I’m all for making as many people as possible feel better, so here’s your husband’s note: HOW I REALLY FEEL She makes me feel dirty and guilty. My wife makes me feel clean again. I hide when I am with her. I am proud to be seen with my wife. I know she is a whore. I know my wife is a lady. My feeling for her is lust. My feeling for my wife is love. She only satisfies the animal in me. I feel secure in my wife’s love. * * * DEAR ABBY: My father died when I was so little I don’t even remember him. I will be 11 years old next month. My mother has a very good friend of hers living here at our house. He has been here over a year. All my friends know my father is dead, but what do I say when someone asks me whose car is always parked in front of our house? They know we don’t have one. I hate to lie. NO ANSWER IN FARIBAULT, MINN. DEAR NO ANSWER: Don’t lie. Tell them the car belongs to a friend of your mother. It does, and he is. * * * DEAR ABBY: I recently opened my owft business, so I got myself a mechanical device whereby a recording of my voice tells the caller I am out and asks him to leave his name and address so I can return his call. That proved to be a total flop. People kept calling and hanging up the minute they realized they were talking to a recording. Then I engaged an answering service. A very courteous, businesslike person answers my phone and asks the caller to please leave his name and number so I can call him back. Most of the callers say, “Never mind. I’ll call again.” They won’t even leave their names. This is infuriating! These same friends used to complain that they could never get me, and now that I have an answering service I am no better-off now than I was before! Abby, why are people so rude? I am hurt and angry. Please print this because I’m sure I’m not the only one with this problem. OUT OF TOUCH DEAR OUT: I can understand why some people become inhibited when they realize they are in communication with a “machine,” but an answering service performs (or should) the same service as a personal secretary. You either need new friends or a new answering service. * * * DEAR ABBY: How would you define success? CURIOUS DEAR CURIOUS: I like Christopher Morley’s definition: “There is only one success to be able to spend your life in your own way.” * * * DEAR ABBY: Our daughter Lisa was married four months ago to a man I’ll call Gary. It was a very stormy and upsetting courtship, to say the least. Gary has a violent temper and caused us a lot of grief. He’d phone the house at all hours demanding to talk to Lisa, and once when she refused to talk to him, he came to the house and broke down our front door! He treated Lisa badly and talked to Joe (my husband) and me like we were dogs something we were certainly not accustomed to. Joe is a very stubborn and unforgiving man, and he refused to attend Lisa and Gary’s wedding. I went and did what I could to be supportive. Lisa is welcome in our home, but Gary is not. Abby, I’m not crazy about Gary either, but I love Lisa more than I hate Gary, so I put up with him. I’ve tried every way I know to get Joe to forgive and forget, but he won’t budge. Any suggestions? NEEDS HELP IN INDY DEAR NEEDS HELP: Quit begging Joe to change his mind. If by some miracle Gary proves to be a good husband, perhaps Joe will mellow and accept him in time. Nothing is forever, and time often heals some ugly wounds, so be patient, and be quiet.
