With Indiana basketball tournament time drawing near, Crispus Altucks of Indianapolis and Hammond Noll appear to be the teams to boat. Both have great records ■y tor the season and should come along strong the rest of the season. , o 0 Big Ten college basketball is going down the home stretch with Illinois and lowa leading the other eight teams. It’s a tough league and the winner always ranks near the top in national ratings. We’d like to see the Big Ten champs play Dayton and Ban Francisco and we d string along with the champs of the middlewest conference. U 0 0 Most of the farmers institutes of this area were held last week. Not for many years has as much Interest been shown in the annual mid-winter farm showa There wad considerable talk about disbanding the institutes, but most of that talk has melted gway since the Mg attendance at all ot them this year. 0 0 The Senate enacted into law late Monday night the removal of price control of natural gas at the wen from the ICC. The House had previously passed the measure and now it goes to President Eisenhower for final action. Much was said for and against the measure and midwestern users of the natural gas for heating and cooking have expressed fear that prices will go sky high. That remains to be seen. However. it is a public record that thousands of dollars were spent by oil company owners, in securing passage of the measure. Even hints of attempted bribery scarred the true issues. Sen. Capehart vpted with the rich men and Sen. Jenner opposed the measure on final passage; 0 ®“TFriends £ave noted with pleasure the quick climb to the top of his profession of Frederick Shroyer, former Decatur man, who is a Professor of English at Los Angeles State College in Los Angeles, California.

Still ■*’ a young man. Prof. Shroyer should add many more laurels to his already excellent record. Almost every human being gets a thrill out of a "give-away" program. which Is one of the popular methods of drawing viewers to a present-day television program. Sponsors otter huge sums of money to the person answering questions in a chqsen category. While, occasionally some contestant wins the big award, don’t forget that the money doesn’t just come out of the air. Someone also loses it Either the government is losing it in sponsor's taxes or the stockholders of the sponsor firm are losing it in diidends. Then the winner must pay a tax and he loses part of it. We doubt that many viewers remember the name of the sponsor an hour after the show goes off the air. But it’s fun while it lasts. —0 0— The February term of Adams circuit court opened Monday morning with a sad note for many of Judge Parrish's friends in Adams county and throughout Indiana, who have been urging the prominent Adams County Jurist to seek the U. 8. Senatorial nomination. Judge Parrish believes that because he was elected to Adams Circuit bench, with as near a unanimous vote as a candidate ever received here, he inherited a duty to the people of this county to segve out his term. While many tetters in his behalf as a candidate havaUwen received, the Judge has been reluctant to make more than a formal reply, with a note of thanks for their support. We believe that Judge Parrish would make not only an ideal candidate, but a Senator of whom every Hoosier could be proud. He is not shackled down by factions; His party loyalty always has been at the perfect mark and while a Democrat ho has never let politics enter a judicial decision. We will continue to recommend him for any position of public trust which he sees fit - to seek now or in the future.
