Ascertain road conditions before starting a long trip and remember, even with mild weatifer, there can be dense and dangerous fogs. •——O—O— Instead of being Governor of all* the people of Indiana, Gov. Handley is forming the usual G.O.P. pattern of “the chosen few". Higher taxes for the average people, more restrictions on small business and added protection for the rich. O -O' ■ ■ The General Assembly seems to think that time is a major problem and has devoted much of their valuable time to attempting to decide what time your clock should read. We’d much rather see the Legislators devote more study to lower taxes and a reduced budget. o -0— The Nippon government passed a law two years ago forbidding high ranking Japanese government offieials from playing golf. It was discovered that many dishonest deals between big business and government were being made while the officials played golf with their entertainers. Apparently the law is still a popular one there. O ■' o ' — If Adams county mothers and wives disapprove of the Eisenhower doctrine, which will allow the president to send their sons and husbands to the Middle East to defend oil company interests there, without an act of congress declaring war, they should write , to their congressman, E.

The soil conservation district is quite young here. , Already, through the leadership of the devoted enthusiasts jyhp are supervisors, much progress has been made. Each farmer is encouraged to look at his withdrawn farmland much as a merchant looks at his stock of goods. When a merchant finds he* has sold some canned corn, he orders more. When a farmer uses up nitrogen and other minerals in his soil, he must repflace it, or face diminishing crops each year. The soil conservation district, through its soil conservationists, helps the farmer find out what elements his farmland needs, what drainage problems he faces, and helps him plan towards correcting the deficiencies. This increases farmer’s earning power, and his spending power. J “

20 YeorsAgo 1 roda|f February 13, 1»37 — (Editor’s note.: Once in a long while newspaper type goes astray and gets mixed up. This occurred in the twenty years ago column of February 12.

BY ROBBRTA LBB I 0-— —fl The Garbage Can The garbage can will not be so conspicuous if it is painted the same color as the outside of the house. It will also prolong the life of the can if painted on the inside as well as the outside. Dyed Garments If the dye of dyed garments runs on other articles in the washtub, place the stained garments in cold water and boil them. If the marks are not removed boil them again, but do we not use soap.

Is it considered good taste to mail out handwritten announcements of a marriage? A. This is quite all right if the bride or her mother wish to take the time and trouble to write them. However, if the mailing list is large, it would seem that the stereotyped engraved announcements would be preferable. Q. Is it the unbreakable rule always to eat desserts with the fork? 4 A. It depends upon the dessert. Some are just too soft to be handled with the fork. Use your fork whenever possible — but use good judgment, too. Q. How should gifts received during an illness be acknowledged? A. If the patient is too ill to acknowledge the gifts immediately, notes of thanks should be written as soon after recovery as possible.

Latest Soviet Move Is Seen As Propaganda Movement For UN w Discussion Seen Pure Propaganda UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (UP) —Western diplomats today viewed the Soviet move for a U.N. discussion of the Eisenhower Middle East Doctrine as a pure propaganda maneuver to divert the world's attention from Hungary. One diplomat said it appeared the Russians feared the Middle East situation was beginning to cool and that the spotlight would veer back to the Soviet crushing of the Hungarian people. The General Assembly’s Steering Committee scheduled a meet-1 ing for this afternoon to decide whether to place the Soviet request on the agenda for debate. The main political committee, meanwhile, continued its debate on Algeria. Informed sources said the United States probably' would raise no serious objection to a debate on its military policies if a majority of the other nations wanted to go along with the Russian demand One source pointed out that such a debate undoubtedly would result in more anti-Russian than ‘ antiAmerican speeches. Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Vasily V. Kuznetsov sent a letter Tuesday to General Assembly President Prince Wan Waithayakon of Thailand demanding debate on the Eisenhower Doctrine and U.S. military policies as "acts of aggression" threatening world peace. Quick discussion of the item would strengthen efforts aimed at lessening world tension, Kuznetsov said. "A careful analysis of the international situation presents the conclusion that the policy of the United States more and more reflects aggressive tendencies which lead to a worsening of the international situation," Kuznetsov’s four - page letter said.
