Attention ha* been called to ' warnings being Issued by the Hur- ' a! New Yorker on cheap "family insurance policies" now being ad- < vertlsed and sold. They (Minted 1 out that In many cases reported to them, the settlements are so ineag- , er as to mean nothing to the fam- 1 fly when sickness or death comes Often the polici-s are so worded i that the company is within the law but the policy was sold with- j out a full understanding. They advise dealing only with well estab- ‘ lished companies when buying any j kind of insurance.

Chancellor Hutchins of Chicago I University. He was an isolationist 1 until the atomic bomb convinced him we must have a world community to prevent world destruction. Writing recently for the Chicago News Hutchins recommended the reading, studying and discussion of the Bible and ten other great books. Hi* list included: The Iliad and The Odyssey, The Republic by Plato, Nicomachean Ethic* and politic* by Aristotle, The Peloponnesian War. The City of God. Treatise on God and Man, The Devine Comedy, Shakespear*, Meditations by Pascal and Tolstoy’s War and Peace. We should 1 all think and talk peace if wo » would avert a third world war that will destroy civilization. ' Nome Calling The other day Senator Wherry , of Nebraska chiffed Senator Connally of Texas for using the word "damn" in some remarks addressed to bls coli*-agues. The word said the gentleman from Nebraska, "is beneath the dignity of the senate.” Senator Connally explained that ( he was quoting someone else whan he used the horrid word Never-th<-l«ss he seems to have been i about as contrite as a senator ever * gets on his home grounds. He withdrew the four-letter emb-l-lishmeni from bis discourse. Next mornlug the Congressional Record. ( parged of the offending word, ap1 peered as chaste as always, though probably making no more sprigbt- i ly reading than usual. So the traditional dignity of the senate was preserved. But'some-: times we wish that congress as a whole would add a little new die* nity to its traditional accumula • tion by outlawing certain epithets, not profane bat decidedly opprobrious, which the legislators often toss about in a loose and undocumented fashton. We refer to auch words as Fascist, Communist. Bolshevik and so on, when they are used not factually and with demonstrable proof, but simply for the purpose of slapping down a critic or changing an embarrassing subject. — Goshen ttewcStoaocrat-

Dr. J. W. Jackson, director of the division of communicable disease control, said that 20 Indiana deaths in the first 10 months of th'a year were due to diptherla. There were 270 cases of the disease during the same period, he said. Jarkaon pointed opt that "a marked increase" in the diptherla rate had occurred over the entire country during 1045. "In the last few years, many rtturned service incn who have been in areas where diptherla Is prevalent have become carriers of this disease, although they are not sick with It themselves." Jackson said. He added that most school children "at one time or another" were "healthy carriers" of the disease. "It is apparent that no community is free from diptherla carriers,” Jackson said Jackson said most cases occurred among children. He urged parents to have the youngester immunized. —o Double Murder And Suicide Reported Cass County Scene Os Triple Slaying Logansport, Ind., Dec. 7— (UPI —Double services were arranged today for a farmer and his daughter, two of three victims of what appeared to be a double murder and suicide yesterday. The rites were arranged for Albert Ault, S 5, and his daughter, Miss Ellen Ault. 30, for 2 p. m. Sunday at the Brethren church at Mexico. Ault’s son is the Rev. James Ault, pastor of the Brethren church at Oakville. Third victim of the triple death tragedy was Edward Richardson. 32. a tenant on the Ault farm. Richardson was believed to have shot the Aults and killed himself, authorities said. The liodies were found yeMei* day by Don Bashore, New Waverly oil truck driver. He saw the woman's body in a roadside ditch, and. upon inveatigating. found AuR and Richardson dead in adjoining rooms of the Ault farmhouse. Sheriff Harold Smith of Cass county and coroner M. B. Stewart offered thia version of the slayings; Richardson and Ault had had "differences" over a long period of time. Richardson went to the Ault home yesterday, armed with a revolver. The two men argued, Richardson shot Ault In the head. Mias Ault threw a stove poker at her father's assailant. The poker broke a window. She then fled to her own room.

Gov. Green Warns Republican Parly Illinois Governor Speaks To Committee Dwight H. Green said today that if ths Republican party "cannot win national elections (It) has lost the main reason tor Ra existence.'* Green spoke st a meeting of the Republican national conimltle*. He pointed out that: 1. The GOP has "offered only feeble protests as private enterprise has been hemmed In snd restricted by federsl taxation." 2. "Wo have not been sufficiently vigorous in opposing federsl squanderings, we have tolerated Inflationary policies to appease various pressure groups.” 3. The GOP has "failed to propose a concrete program" which protects the rights of labor, capita! and the public. 4. The United States has "too often given lip service to a foreign policy founded upon soar." Green's address opened a twoday session of the national committee aimed at adopting a program that would give the Republicans control of congress In the 194* elections. House Republican leader Joseph W. Martin, Jr., Mass., was scheduled to present the committee with a "platform’* adopted by Republican congressional members as the foundation for the 1945 GOP campaign. Martin, as well as national committee chairman Herbert Brownell, Jr., who endorsed the I congressional program, predicted i that the Republicans would win j control of both the senate a*d house next year. Green stressed foreign affairs | and nation*) defense In his ad- ■ dress to the committoe. and charged "double-talk" by the Truman administration. "We have been told that we must not raise our voice against the yape of Java by the British and Dutch for fear of offending , some voters,” he said, "and we j have been told we must not even protest against the shameful betrayal of Poland for fear of offending Russia's following over I' here.” "They gave Poland to the poles I and to the Russians." Green said. "They told us that lend-leese i would keep the nation out nf #ar when they knew it wouldn't." »“ Green also charged that the Truman administration had failed to take necessary step* to insure the holding of vital sir and sm bases for American defoßs*. In a report to th* committee. Brownell said that three tests of public opinion — special congressional elections in Illinois. Montana and New Jersey, sll held , sioce President Truman took office > and won by Republicans— point to : a Republican victory next year. Brownell called on state and congressional groups to get the "strongest person to run" for congress In all diatricta. He remind-. ed committee members that the | organisation Is working on a "year around basis” in order to bring the GOP into power next year. . ■.... ■ ■— o George Roop Receives Private Pilot License t ■ i George Roop, local aviator and one of the original investigators of , .McComb Held In Decatur, became .
