Multiple sclerosis hope chests are located in many area business establishments. Research, patient aid, clinics, and rehabilitation of patients who have suffered the crippling disease will result from generous contributions. ——o—-o The situation in Lebanon is fast reaching a crisis which could involve the U. S. in another war. Dulles' plan of “massive retaliation” cannot, of course, be used. A police action, using American boys, will be the only answer. If Russia or Egypt become involved, a major war, complete with atomic bombs, could result. ■ O O Adams county farmers who are hard-hit by floods or other problems and unable to get further credit from their regular bank may borrow money from the .Farmers Home Administration. Donald A. Norquest, FHA representative for Adams, Wells, and Jay counties has his office in the K. of C. building in Decatur. Loans at 5% interest can be given in Adams county to farmers who cannot secure credit elsewhere. o—o During the past school year Pleasant Mills and Berne collected their school histories. All high schools in Adams county are eligible to form chapters of the Indiana Junior Historical Society. This loosely federated group meets once a year. They have a fine historical program in many schools in the state. They would be an asset in Adams county, too. Carl A. Zenor, of 140 N.

Most Decatur businessmen are banking their money every evening now that breakins are again of daily occurrence. State police, the county sheriff and his deputies, and the city police are working night and day on clues. o— —o— When you hear critics of the present city administration or this newspaper raving and ranting against the proposed bicycle ordinance, designed to protect our children, laugh at them. Some misguided souls are actually spreading the story that the city is trying to raise SIO,OOO by selling bicycle licenses! This is not only preposterous, but a libel against public officials dedicated to doing a good job. The truth of the matter is that the license, a small tag aboyt the size of a dog license, will cost between 10 cents and a quarter. A complex testing system to be administered either by the police department or fire department, or both, will be put in operation. The licenses will probably be issued at the city hall. The cost of the program will certainly far outweigh the cost of the license to the individual. But it will assure us all that each child or adult is well aware of his responsibility when riding a bicycle. The police officers who have the responsibility of maintaining law and order in the city will know what each child has learned as safety rules, and can be guided accordingly in giving warnings, or notifying parents. This system has already been tried out in Fort Wayne and many other communities. Safe driving habits start in childhood. They must be started early, and maintained after the youngsters start driving a 250 horsepower automobile.

CHAPTER 36 "A/JAY it please the court,” I’ * Captain Temple Jocelyn said, rising, “Captain Kincaid’s wound was received under the most peculiar circumstances, and Eastwood’s action " during the engagement leaves much to be desired in the way of military conduct.” General Sherman’s gavel banged. ‘‘Captain, neither Captain Kincaid nor Lieutenant Eastwood is on trial at this time.” Then Sherman turned to Eastwood. "Lieutenant,” Sherman said, "are you aware that to properly clear this matter, the conduct of Captain Kincaid — would have to be investigated? The matter before us is not Captain Schwabacker’s unauthorized surgery on Captain Kincaid, but whether an officer's widow is going to receive a government pension. Do you deny that the obvious reason behind these charges is to insure that pen- 1 sion?” "No —No, sir. I don’t deny it. Neither do I blame Mrs. Kincaid.” "Then I think I can djspose of this matter expediently,” Sherman said. "Lieutenant, I have no intention of instigating an investigation of Captain Kincaid. The man is dead and beyond punishment. And I am not so heartless as to deprive a widow of her pension, however questionable it may be. Before me is the form, which requires my signature. Next to it is a letter of formal charges against Captain Schwabacker. If I affix my signature to the pension document, the charges must be dropped.” Eastwood breathed with difficulty. Finally he said, “I—l agree to drop the charges, General.” Sherman handed the document to General Harney. “Destroy this. It will be so entered in the record.” He then placed his signature on the pension papers and Eastwood came forward for them. "Lieutenant, bear something in mind: I dislike pressure methods, and I dislike any officer who condones that type of action. That is why I’ve disposed of this case as I have. This is a small army. Mister. Your shirt tail is not without stain. We’ll be watching you. Now get the devil out of my courtroom.” Sherman had Brevet General Wessels called to the court next. Wessels entered, performed the usual military protocol, then sat down. "General Wessels,” Sherman said, "you have made no formal charge against Captain Schwabacker, and before you do I would like to address a few remarks to the assembly.” He cleared his throat. “In a campaign, it is rare that one Officer contributes largely to the success of the engagement. When praise is distributed, one finds that many step forward to receive the accolade, and all deserve such recognition. However, It seems here that when success is viewed as a whole, fate has chosen Captain .Schwabacker as a private instrument.

| "Captain Schwabacker, .while a secopd lieutenant, successfully 1 engaged the Cheyenne forces in ‘an action at Ryndlee’s road ranch. This engagement was not singular in itself, and did not assume importance until much later. Looking back, it is obvious that this was the Cheyennes’ first baptism of fire from the army, and the defeat they suffered weakened their confidence. Such belief was substantiated in our talks with Spotted Tail yesterday. He said that the Sioux leader, Red Cloud, had assured the Cheyennes of his strong medicine, and that the army was weak. He also stated that this defeat, at the hands of an officer without previous combat experience, caused dissension among his men, and when he again attacked the army, he suffered additional losses at the hands of the same officer." Sherman paused to look at everyone present. "Gentlemen, and ladies, we also agree that if Captain Schwabacker had not ridden into the Cheyenne camp when he did, the Cheyennes would not be camped in peace at our gates today. Spotted Tail and Little Wound both have stated that Red Cloud was talking medicine and that many of their people were inclined to go along with him.” Sherman smiled and it was fine to see. “However,” he continued, •‘lt seems that Captan Schwabacker’s talents are not confined to the military, but embrace the political field as well For nearly a year, we have been trying to enlist the press and public sympathy to our cause, and a just treatment of the Indians. Without shame I can say that we have failed, but Captain Schwabacker has not. His interview was printed in many newspapers, and because of the attention aroused, we now have the authority to abandon Font Philip Kearny and Fort C. F. Smith if necessary to bring a jus\peace in this land.” Schwabacker looked at the four generals and saw four dedicated men, kind men who spoke of peace and meant it. This time, he knew, their names on the peace treaty would carry weight. He knew Spotted Tail would believe it too. "And so," General Sherman was saying, “I believe this court can adjourn with the recommendation that Captain Schwabacker be breveted at the earliest possible convenience of his commanding officer, and extended our heartfelt thanks for service well rendered.” Sherman’s gavel rapped once. "This court is adjourned, I could use a cup of coffee.” Schwabacker turned to Temple Jocelyn, but Jocelyn smiled and 'pushed him toward Henrietta, who nearly knocked over a chair in her eagerness to embrace him. Jim Bridger came up while he still held her, a smile behind his thick whiskers. He offered a gnarled hand. "Been wantin’ to make your acquaintance, Capt’n, but it seems that every tuue some dol-

Educational System Worries Scientist - Admiral Rickover Grants Interview EDITOR’S NOTE: Rear Adm. H. G. Rickover, developer of the atomic submarine and “father of the atomic Navy,” is one of the nation’s leading nuclear scientists. He is also an articulate critic of the U. S. educational system. In the following interview with UPI reporter Louis Cassels, he tells why he is disturbed about the state of America’s schools, and what he thinks should be done to improve them. By United Press International Q. Adm. Rickover, you are known as a scientist rather than an educator. What caused you to become concerned about our schools? A. In my constant search for competent people to work in the nuclear power program, I was driven to the conclusion that something is radically wrong with our educational system. Q. You mean that our colleges and universities aren't turning out enough qualified scientists and engineers? A. It’s not pimarily the fault of the colleges and universities. With some exceptions, the specialized professional education which they offer is pretty good. But they are severely handicapped by the weakness of our public elementary and high schools. Q. The public schools are sending the colleges students who aren’t ready for higher education? A. Exactly. Time wasted in public schools has to be made up in college. Instead of concentrating on professional studies, many students have to devote much of their college time to remedial courses in English or mathematics, or humanities courses to patch up the gaps in their preprofessional schooling. Q. Is this a blanket indictment

goned business come up an* I never got th' chance.’’ “You’re a living legend,” Schwabacker said softly. “It’s an honor.” "Figured it th’ other way,” Bridger said. “You done made a few legends of your own.” The four dignified generals filed past, each offering Captain Schwabacker a brief handshake. The room emptied like a slowly draining bowl. Through the open door Schwabacker could see Sergeant Sean Finnegan waiting with an enlisted man's courtesy. Doctor Gustave Schwabacker came up then, hesitatingly. He said, “All your life I’ve given you advice, son. But I can see now that you were better off without it Can you advise me now? Can you show me the way to say . . .” "There’s nothing to say,” Schwabacker cut in. He didn’t want his father to apologize. And he didn’t want to explain either; he didn’t think he had to. He saw his father in a completely different light—not a big man, not God, but just another man, a little confused, a little uncertain now that he was removed from the accustomed security of his narrow treadmill. And with this shrinking stature came a deep affection. He put his arm around his father’s shoulders —a thing he had never done before—and found that he was taller than his father. Schwabacker said, “It’s all right, sir.” His smile was an added assurance. “What are you going to do now?” Henrietta said. "If you return to Kearny, I’m coming with you. Emil, we’ll never be apart again.” “I don’t think I’ll return to Kearny," he said. “I’m going to request a year's leave of absence and go back East. It’ll take me three months to bone up on- my medical studies, then seven more months and I’ll graduate. I want to be a doctor, Henrietta. I’ll make a good doctor.” A frown crossed her forehead. "You’re giving up the army?" “No,” he said. "I love the army. But I want to be a military surgeon. There's work here, my kind of work. It’s where I belong, with men like Jocelyn and Finnegan.” He looked at her. "Do you mind ?” ”I'll never complain,” she said. "Never, Emil.” Impatience was upon him then. "I’ll have to tell JScelyn, and thank him for letting me command his troop.” He stepped away from her but she took his arm and pulled him back. "He won’t want you to thank him," Henrietta said softly. “Emil, you're the equal to any man on earth. From this day on every man in that troop will look around when Jocelyn gives a command and wonder if that's the way you would have given it. There are no more ghosts to' fight, Emil. The battle’s over." “Yep,” he said. "I guess it is.” Then he took his father’s arm, and his fiancee's, and together they walked out into the sun. THE END j ~iiii i ■ 11 -. i !»■

of public schools? A. No. We have some good school systems. But we have many more poor ones. Q. What is basically wrong with the poor ones? A. Our teachers, colleges and state boards of education have been permeated by the “experimentalist” philosophy of education that stemmed from the late John Dewey. This philosophy holds that the main function of schools is to help children “adjust” to life, rathe than rto impart knowledge to them. It has just” to life, rather than to imon school curricula. Q. how, specifically? A. Well, it has led to elimination of many academic subjects on the ground that they would not be “useful” in life, and to substitution of trivial, recreational and vocational subjects alleged to be of more practical value. It has prompted a futile attempt to make learning “fun” and to dispense with studies that can be absorbed only by plain hard work. The student thus receives neither intellectual training nor the factual knowledge which will help him to undestand the world he

lives in. He is instead handed a bag of “know-how tricks.” He is helped to become a pleasant, nicely mannered young person, able to get along with whatever groups he joins. Q. You don’t think the public schools should be teaching good planners and social adjustment? ’A.*-No. I think we should turn back to the home what is properly the function "of the home, and permit the public schools to concentrate on what is properly their function — the education of young minds. Q. Should high schools offer different kinds of training to children who are going on to college, and* those who will go to work or get married after getting their high school diplomas? A.. Yes, but this doesn’t mean that basic academic studies are unimportant for the non-college group. For all children, the educational process must be one of collecting factual knowledge to the limit of their absorptive capacity. Twelve years of public school should provide, for the average and below average student, a sufficiently broad terminal education

Ito fit him into a modern technological society. For the talented student, it must provide a solid underpinning for subsequent professional education. Neither of these two objectives is now being achieved in the majority of American public school systems. Three Students On Distingushed List Three Adams county students were among the 59 students at Wabash college who have been recognized for distinguished scholarship during the spring semester. Harold M. Sommer, a freshman, is from 440 Gage avenue. From Berne, also honored were Alan J. Eichenberger. a junior, and Charles H. Spurgeon, a senior. The trio were among the 46 other students who had scholastic point averages of 2.5 or better, representing A work in half the student's courses and no less than B in the other half. They were singled out by dean Benjamin A. Rogge for inclusion on the dean’s list for this past semester.
