Adams county high schools soon will launch their spring baseball and track programs. It's Quite a letdown from basketball as far as teas are concerned but it's a great time of the year for ■may of Adams county's fine young men. —- One of these days Congress is going to tiro of probes and counter-probes and get down to the business tor which that body was organised. The purpose of investigations is, as we understand it, merely to get proper information before congress pertaining to making and strengthening laws. It should not be used as a polltieal spring-board or as a means of embarrassing good citixens. g 0 Early bird gardeners can be seen every day in local stores buying seeds and other gardening necessities. The first touch of spring also is causing fishing enthusiasts to clean up their tackle boxes. Baseball fans are tuning ~ up their radios to catch the first games to be broadcast. We may have some cold days yet. but all indications are that spring is " hero. As spring weather arrives and every day finds more and more motorists on the highways, don't forget the more traffic there is the more careful yon should be in your driving habits. Many motor•txts feel that spring is the time of year to take their car out and open it u» Highways, now void of their ice and snow, still are dan- ■ ■ gerous. If you join others in driving carefully the year around, there will be fewer tragic mishaps and you’ll get there just as Quick and (rtwsiri 1 j ... , i —- —. & " f Mr. Craig, Mr. Jenner and Mr. Capehart all claim political victories In the Indiana legislature after 61-plus days of bickering, fighting and compromising, all at the expense of the people.

Chances are good that the Fort Wayne Regional high school basketball champs. North Side, will win the semi-final play at Elkhart next Saturday and become one of four teams in the final round of play at Indianapolis the following week. North Side has a well balanced team and is a good representative of this section of Indiana. Here’s hoping the Indians keep winning. 0 0 • Decatur's Welcome Wagon, a service which makes it a point to welcome newcomers to this city, young people who reach their sixteenth birthday, young ladies who become engaged and new mothers on behalf of Decatur merchants and civic groups, is fast becoming an institution here. The service is operated by Mrs. Dan Tyndall and Mrs. Robert Macklin and special occasion visits are made by the Decatar ladies who present numerous gifts from Decatur merchants. It is a gesture of good will which is being well received by all. The Welcome Wagon hostesses also give out literature pertaining to the city of Decatur and the Churches of Decatur. 0 0 Members of the Indiana General Assembly are grown men and women. Like other servants of the people they take an oath to support the constitution. Still session after session they flaunt the constitution by refusing to adjourn at the expiration es the time set by the constitution. Last Monday at midnight was the limit set by constitution, for adjourn- “ xnent, still thb General Assembly stopped the etochw*winked their " eyes tad proceeded op. This action is against the law and it breeds disrespect both for the lawmakers and the laws they make. What would happen if we, the people, would stop our clocks at the tax paying deadline and take another month? What would happen if we disregarded the deadline for buying automobile license tags? We would receive stiff penalties. Legislators should receive the same treatment from us. Every member should receive the penalty of being defeated at the next election! Perhaps that would cure the once fine law making system of its worst fault.

Gentlemen: As a mother of a teenager I would like to voice my opinion on this matter of dancing. Who spreads more cheer and comfort to a chaotic world today—one who dances if he enjoys it and is hapny or the sour old puss who does things just like his parents did because he doesn’t have the intelligence to change his mind even after he sees better? Don’t you think we might develop more emotional maturity in our teenagers if we cooperate with them in their phases of- growth by getting doWn to their level once in a while. Let’s give them supervised dances in their own age groups so they need not go to. questionable places and dance with irresponsible adults. I say dancing is developing mental physical, and spiritual growth if done under satisfactory conditions. 1 think its* wonderful we have youthful leaders who give time and effort to help plan and carry out a wholesome program that will prevent juvenile delinquency ins’.ead of trying to remedy after it's too late. It's no use to lock the stable the horse Is stolen. t Our children pass through each stage of growth only once in a life time, so parents. let's don’t default at this critical stage of their young lives and so keep their good will and faith Remember the old saying “A vise man often changes his mind; a fool never does”. ~ Let’s be wise men. God give use .. more wise. .men! Sincerely Yours. Hilda Eichenauer , P,. S.

Study Revision In Immigration Law . Act's Co-Author Not ] Averse To Revision i WASHINGTON (INS) — The < co-author of the controversial 1 Walter - McCarran immigration i law said today he would support i , revision of the disputed national i origins quota system “if some- < thing fairer can be devised." 1 Rep. Francis E. Walter (DPa.) < declared in an interview that he is '‘not wedded heart and soul to 1 the quota system which determ- ’ Ines what immigrants shall be I admitted from each country. The Pennsylvanian heads the I house subcommittee on immigration as well as the un-American activities committee. He and the i late Sen. Pat McCarran (D-Nev.) were co-sponaors of the present I law which was passed in 1952 over the veto of former President Harry S. Truman.

THURSDAY, MARCH 10. 1965
1920 census was taken. Great Britain and Northern Ireland have the largest number of admissable persons — 65,000. Germany is next, followed by Ireland, Poland, Italy, Sweden, the Netherlands and other countries—with a minimum quota of 1,009. However, quotas for Italy and some other nations are oversubscribed every year while those of Britain. Germany and Ireland are not filled. The charge has been made that the system discriminates against people from southern and southeastern Europe and favors those from northern Europe. Said Walter: “If something fairer and more equitable ean be devised, I will not only consider It, but I will support it.” He added, however, that before he backs any revision of the 31-year-old quota plan he "would want to be certain it does not discriminate against anyone.” The congressman indicated that he does not favor a proposal that unused portions of the total quota be distributed among countries whose quotas have been oversubscribed.
