He eyes it... he flies it... it's good. Shooting hoops doesn't always pertain to the world of basketball, as Justin Barker found out at last Friday's Roachdale Elementary School Spring Festival.

Indy visit slated April 29 for Hart

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Gary Hart will bring his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination to Indianapolis April 29, but it looks as though his local backers will have to pay to see him. Mary Finnegan, Hart’s Indiana coordinator, said plans are still being worked out for a $250-a-person fundraiser at the home of Diane Meyer Simon, who worked on the staff of Birch Bayh when he was in the Senate. As for the other Democratic presidential candidates, the Rev. Jesse Jackson plans to be in Indianapolis April 20 and 21. There was no firm word from

hearings this summer and early fall and make recommendations in time for the 1985 session. The council deferred action on a request by Rep. Michael K. Phillips, D-BoonviUe, to set up a study committee on job classifications and pay discrepancies between male and female state employees. House Speaker J. Roberts Dailey, R-Muncie, council chairman, said it would be more prudent to get a briefing on what Gov. Robert D. Orr’s

Ms. Finnegan said it’s uncertain whether Hart will make other stops in Indiana before the May 8 primary but added, “We’re working on several other dates.” Meanwhile, John Glasscock, Hart’s Bloomington campaign manager, said Wednesday “there is a good chance” Hart will be at Indiana University for the Little 500 race April 21.

Indiana's unemployment rate for February drops by one per cent

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Indiana had 63,000 more people working in February than were employed the same month in 1983 and the state’s employment figures should continue to improve this spring, the Indiana Employment Security Division says. In its monthly report issued Wednesday, officials said 2,279,000 Hoosiers were employed in February as compared to approximately 2,216,000 in February 1983. Preliminary figures show unemployment in the state was 11 percent in February, a drop of 3.3 percent from last February, and a decrease of 1 percent from the previous month. But Indiana’s rate was still more than 2 percent higher than the 8.4 national non-seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for February. The seasonally adjusted figures show Indiana with a 10.4 perqent unemployment rate, compared with 7.9 percent nationally. In January, non-seasonally unemployment rose to 12.0 percent from 10.3 percent in December. Only five of Indiana’s 92 counties had increases in their February unemployment rate as compared to January’s figure. Slight increases were reported in Blackford, Boone,

administration is doing with the issue. The council rejected a request by Rep. Dennis Heeke, D-Dubois, to set up a committee to look at problems facing family farms and to study the feasibility of creating a separate state department of agriculture with an elected commissioner. Currently, farm matters are handled by an agriculture division within the Department of Commerce, with the lieutenant governor serving as commissioner.

Fayette, Marshall and Vigo counties. “It’s much better than a year ago,” said Dorothy Greene, a labor market analyst with the division about employment in the state. “The automotive industry is much better than a year ago. Manufacturing (employment) is up 8 percent, 44,800 from a year ago,” Manufacturing employment totaled 602,000, an increase of 6,700 from January 1984. The division’s most recent Labor Market letter indicates Indiana’s job market is recovering slowly from the recession, Ms. Greene said. Business-related employment increased against seasonal trends in February, she said. “Usually in January and February, employment remains virtually unchanged,” she said. Transportation, machinery

Instead, the council decided to add the problems of the family farm to the agenda of a study committee on small business. Other study committees were created on special education and free textbooks; licensing of health occupations; medical malpractice; public safety employee training and licensing of building inspectors; the grand jury system ; local government; and local health departments, a statewide cancer information system and regulation of day-

and fabricated metals employment recorded the largest gains in the last year, she said. In non-durable goods, rubber and plastics led the upturn, with a February employment figure of 36,200, up 600 from January, and up 4,500 from a year ago, she said. The improved employment in the auto business is reflected in the Anderson and Kokomo areas, which was seriously affected by past layoffs in the industry. In Anderson, unemployment dropped from 17.4 percent in February 1983 to 9.6 percent this year, compared with 10.6 percent the previous month. In Kokomo, unemployment dropped from 17.5 percent in February 1983 to 8.7 percent this February. In January, unemployment in Kokomo was 10.2 percent. In Bloomington, unemployment stood at 8.2 percent,

care centers. Two study committees were continued from last year. They deal with public records and unemployment compensation. Garton said because any legislation that comes out of a study committee would have to go through both the House and Senate, it was only fair that senators have equal representation. By expanding the number of members, the council added to the potential expense.

compared with 9.3 percent the previous month. In the Lafayette-West Lafayette area, unemployment held steady at January’s figure of 7.8 percent. The news was better in Elkhart, where unemployment dropped to 6.6 percent, compared with 8.2 percent in January. In the Terre Haute area, unemployment dropped from 14.4 percent to 13.5 percent. In Muncie, the jobless rate was 11.6 percent, compared with 13.0 the previous month. Evansville logged a 10.6 percent unemployment rate, down .4 percent from January. In Indianapolis, unemployment was 9.2 percent in February, compared with 9.9 percent the previous month. South Bend registered an 0.6 percent unemployment rate, compared with 9.1 percent in January.
