Slate recognition baa come to Ronald Parrish of this city, in his election as state controller of all the Ilona clubs in Indiana. Active tn service elub circles and president of the Decatur Chamber of Commerce, Ronald believes in the spirit of service and his friends are happy over the recognition that has come his way. — Alt Landon who carried only Maine and Vermont when he ran for President in 1936, is dissatisfied with the Eisenhower-Dulles foreign policy. He contends it Is too much like the Truman-Ache-son policy. It’S doubtful if Mr. Landon is a good judge of international affairs and President Eisenhower will probably not seek the Kansan’s advice along this line. \ 0 o A South Carolina woman is insisting on her right to free speech in an argument over a neighborhood dog. The dog has a habit of barking at the moon and at imaginary intruders at all hours of the night. The woman answers ' th> canine's fowls with a metfa- * phone, whips makes a howling success of the whole affair. Quiet in the neighborhood may come in the dark of the moon, the dog winning the argument.

The breakdown- of the - Geneva conference, the French cabinet crisis and the defeat of French troops in Indochina bring up big questions and consideration in world affairs.

This isn't necessarily a pertinent gem of information, but the medical world states that 95 percent of the children and 94 percent of the women are ticklish— However, only 69 percent Os — the male populace responds to this playful gesture. Tickling hasn't always been a laughing matter , The ancient Chinese developed it into an exquisite form of torture, which gives rise to the belief that the phrase “tickled to death” wasn't originally a happy inclusion to otir , Also it seems that anthropologists got into the act with - the theory that response to tickling was originally a defense mechanism. The cave fflan, for example, boasting considerable hirsuite adornment. was warned of the presence of dangerous insect peats by a tickling sensation. The resultant hearty laugh was natures devious means of shaking the parasite off. Hy the -way. trotting*!! over town to pick up an item here and an ileffl there, is no laughing matter.

On the assumption that 60,000 persons would be killed in a bomb attack on a city the < sixe of Fort Wayne, the human < mind cant fathom what the survivors would do in such a catastrophe.

( Political Round-up:— Next November 2 Hoosier voters will elect a total of 4,988 public officials to congressional, -state, county and township officios, according to the “Indiana Political Almanac of 1954’* just i published by the Indiana State 1 Chamber of Commerce. ____ ( The Almanac shows 11 congressmen to be chosen, 126 to be elected to state offices including 26 state senators and 100 members of the state house of representatives, 693 to be elected to offices in Indiana’s 92 counties, and 4,148 to be chosen for township offices. In a foreword to the publication, if states: “Being a responsible citizen in a republic is not an easy job. It calls for a study of the qualifications of candidates and of the pros and cons of many issues in our governmental affairs. But unless we are willing, to let someone else make our governmental decisions for tts, the time necessary to understand and speak our piece on governmental issues and candidates is a price we must pay for the kind of country we like to live in." —— — The stSte legislative picture from the* political party standpointis. portrayed in maps which' show the Republican party will have 21 "holdover" state senators in the 1955 session as opposed to three Democrats. In order to retain a majority in the senate, the Republicans need to capture five of the 26 seats up for election. Nineteen of these seats subject to election now are held by Republicans. y . The Democratic party In order* - s? to- . achieve . senate majority...■ would need to retain the seven •eats mow held and win 16 of the 19 seats held by Republicans. To control the 1955 House, Democrats need to hold the 19 House i seats they won in 1952 and win | 32 of the 81 seats held by Repub- ® licans. ■ A table of the 1952 Indiana Wrote by counties for President ■shows that nearly 76 per cent of ■ Hoosiers 21 years ot age and ■over cast ballots in the presi- ■ dential election as compared to jja national voting record of 63 per ■cm.-.-.
