Big Ten college basketball is a tough game. It’s almost Impos- , siblc for one team to play its schedule with an undefeated record. Purdue, Ohio State and Illinois appear to be the best as of today, but superiority can change with almost every game. The college game becomes almost as exciting these last few weeks of the season as Indiana high school competition, of which there is no better. i o o Members of the Indiana General Assembly seem to feel that the trying issue of the day is "What time is it?" Abandoning such issues as the proposed gas ,tax hike, saving the taxpayer money, reducing the budget and scores of other proposals, they devote considerable time to the time problem. Farmers don’t want their hogs to get up before daylight; city dwellers want an extra hour of daylight when they get home from work and after an, a majority of the people don’t care too much what time the clock shows. One consoling fact is that when this great body of law-makers is wrangling over the time problem, the people aren’t being harnessed with numerous other stupid laws. O -o-— ♦ Sen. Von Eichhorn, joint member from Blackford, Wells and from Adams counties, in the state Senate will be here Saturday night to answer questions pertaining to current legislative matters. If you plan to attend the meeting, don’t be too optimistic about getting answers. The veteran legislator has a weird ability to use words, but avoid answers, for which we are not criticizing, merely stating. Sen. Eichhorn has been a public servant too long to not sense what the people want to hear. He is an audience pleaser, we are sure you’ll get your money's worth, if you attend. Whether you’ll know any more about what’s going on—well! the people will have to decide that. | o .o Congressman Russell V. Mack, Republican of Washington, called recently for an investigation of

newsprint prices. Mack noted that 10.3 percent of the daily newspapers published in the United States in 1838 had been forced out of business in the last 20 years. While lumber prices in the United States have increased less than 31 percent in the last ten years, and plywood prices only three percent, newsprint imported from Canada has increased 83 percent, and went up another $4 a ton this year. Since 1936 it has increased 250 percent The cut of ten percent in daily newspapers has decreased the diversity of opinions which newspapers offer, threatening the well • informed electorate upon which the foundations of American democracy rest. The Daily Democrat, in the face of these increases, has remained priced below many area newspapers, including those of Bluffton and Van Wert. It is hoped that a Congressional investigation will provide lower newsprint costs, and lower the cost to Democrat subscribers. ■' o o Local labor leaders may be interested in some facts about Eisenhower’s good friend, King Saud ” of Arabia. Now lolling in presidential splendour on our taxpayer’s dollars, here is something about his labor record. It is taken .. from the Congressional record. . Strikes are illegal in Arabia. Recently some oil workers struck. They objected to African negroes, chained in groups. of 100, being brought into do their labor as slaves. Some 500 of these strikers were rounded up in chains. Os these 80 were picked at random and pushed into huge nests of scorpions. They all died horribly, retching the sands with marks of their death struggles. 'Some were burned or tortured. Others had their nails torn out. The rest were jaded. Labor unions in this country ended-treatment like this so long ago that no one living can remember it. But right-to-work laws, termed by labor right-to-slavery laws, are again appearing to hamper the work of labor unions. Each laborer should appreciate the hard-earned rights which make him the best-paid, best-treated worker in the world.

I Household Scrapbook BY ROBERTA L» 9 0 ’’ Deodorise Fresh Paint The smell of fresh paint gives many people a headache, and to none is it an especially pleasant odor. Place a paper bag containing several pieces of charcoal in the room and close the door tightly. Another effective remedy is an onion sliced into small pieces and put into a pail of water in the room. The water and onions will absorb the odor. Boiled Water When the water is boiled for drinking and cooking purposes, try pouring it from one pitcher to another several times before using. It will lose its flat taste. Wash Plant Leaves Leaves of house plants should be frequently washed, as smoke and dust from fires covers the leaves and kills plants. 8■ " < Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LKB ft e Q.
