A recent Department of Agriculture publication shows that the consumer's bread price has risen from 13.9tf a pound in 1948 to 18.8< a pound in 1957. While the baker * wholesaler’s share has jumped from 6.3? to 10.5tf of the total price, the farmer’s percentage has dropped from 3.4 f to 3.2?. This is in spite of increased costs to the producing farmer, and his shouldering of the principal risks in raising wheat. The Indiana Farmer’s Union says this isn't fair. o o Judge Kenneth A. King, of the Noble circuit court, has recently submitted a newspaper report On the functioning of the probation system for juveniles and adults in that county. It is quite comparable to the annual report made by Judge Homer Byrd at Bluffton. Judge King stated that he set up the probation program after a visit to the boy's and girl’s schools satisfied him that the state institutions were inadequate. He called for fast remedial action for juveniles; a crash program in schools to identify and deal. with emotionally disturbed children; study and dealing with the problem of young people thrown off-balance by service with the armed forces. The report showed sound thinking, and may be the basis for some' improvement in Noble county. OH—O — Someone remarked recently about Decatur’s “high” tax rate. Actually, there are very feyr cities, this size, smaller, or larger, which have as low a tax rate. The Wells county council cut four cents off their county budget. The Adams county rate was reduced five cents. Decatur’s proposed rate is nearly $1 under Bluffton’s. The Huntington county rate for the general fund will be 88 cents, as compared with Adams county’s 87 cents. Randolph county’s rate was cut only one cent. Noble county’s proposed rate is nearly nine cents higher than last year’s. Things could be a lot worse than here in Adams county. This means, of course, that we must continue our vigil cnee, watching the budget-makers, and the taxing powers. But we need more common sense, and less hysteria, more comparison and less ranting.

An important conference is now progressing in Irkutsk, Russia, near the shores of Lake Baikal, just north of Outer Mongolia. Near the south-center of the huge Siberian area, twice the size of the United States, the members of the state planning commission of the USSR and the USSR Academy of sciences have assembled to study the future of Eastern Siberia. Clear-cut, longe-range plans for the metal mining, power, fuel, and chemical industries, transport, agriculture, and forestry services are being considered. Boundless forests, one of which is the size of the United States itself, mighty north and south flowing rivers, and high mountains with fine pasture lands are main features of eastern Siberia, together with a generally cold climate, which does not exclude such animals as tigers on its southern borders. o o>— “High-Tax Harold" Handley, the Republican’s forced choice for the U. S. Senate, knows even less about city taxes than he does about state taxes. He actually made the statement, publicly, that Evansville’s tax rate is $2 higher because of Mayor Hartke, the Democratic Senate candidate. A comparison of actual city taxes, controlled by the Mayor and city council, show that-Evansville has a lower tax rate now than previously. “High-Tax Harold” in his subtle attempt to bambozzle the public, also added in the state, county, township, and school tax rates, completely outside the jurisdiction of the Evansville mayor, and incidentally controlled mostly by old High-Tax’s party. But we all know the governor’s attitude on taxes—it is quite evident when the 50% increase he approved is taken from our pay. This is one of the many measures which has sapped the buying power of Americans, causing the present recession. And Handley’s claim that “he knew nothing” about the highway scandals until he became governor is ludicrous and entertaining, but little more. Surely our great “High-Tax" didn't sit in the lieutenant governor's cubicle for four years without catching on to the big payoffs in the reception room which both lieu-tenant-governor and the governor uses! How naive can you get!

New Control System On Experimental Car Shown

By JACK VANDENBERG UPI Automotive Editor DETROIT (UPD—I had a look at and experienced what may be the ride of the future. Today, for the first time. I can tell the story of an experimental car which I two weeks ago at the General Motors proving grounds at Mesa, Ariz. General Motors President John Gordon permitted 12 newsmen who saw the car in Arizona to talk about it for the first time after it had been successfully tested. The major feature of the experimental car is a new control system which uses an airplane-type stick to eliminate the conventional steering wheel, brake pedal, accelerator and gear shift. Newsmen who viewed the xperimental car—called the Firebird lll—wre permitted to test the new control system. It was installed on a Chevrolet Impala as a precautionary measure to avoid any possible damage to the costly experimental car'. We also were taken for a ride in the Firebird 111 with an experienced test driver at the controls. How Lver Works I waited on the GM test track for my turn to ride. With the whine, the gas turbine propelled vehicto rfillerl to a stopin front of me. The gull-winged ;door in the canopy covering the , passenger’s seat swung diagonal'i ly upward. I climbed into a loung - type ’ chair which cushioned me from | head to toe and sat back com- ■ fortably. As the door closed around me. I the whine of the engine was dampened and the driver pressed forward on a four-inch lever located between us. i The car began to move. As he pressed the lever further ) forward and we began to pick up ;spced. we came to a curve in the track. The driver merely tilted the lever in the direction of the curve and we rounded it smooth-, ly. The driver pointed opt that it took more tilt of the stick to turn the car by the same amount, as the speed of the car increased. He said this was a built-in safety factor to prevent drivers from turning too sharplt at high speeds. Can Go 200 m.p.h. Just around the curve, the driver pulled back on the stick and the ear began to halt. He told me look backward and I saw two large airscoops extending from the body of the car. He explained these scoops (there were two more under the car out of sight) helped slow down the car, which is capable of speeds up to 240 miles an hour. Tliey also cooled the braking surfaces at the same time. They are operated by a button on the knob of the stick; as is the horn. When we were stopped, he twisted the knob on the end of the stick and the car began to move in reverse. Then he stopped the car again and twisted the knob further. He explained a 20degree twist put the car in reverse and an 80-degree twist put it in parking gear., GM engineers and stylists explained that ail panels of the aerodynamic fiber glass body can be removed electronically to facilitate repairs on equipment which is packed close under the thin shell from the wide, tapered nose to the seven fins clustered around the rear and dominated by a high dorsal fin. o— —- —“ “ * ? I Modern Etiquette | By ROBERTA LEE I o : — 0 Q. Is it proper for a business man to remain seated at his desk while shaking hands with a man visitor? A. When shaking hands, a man should always rise. Usually, however — and especially in a, busy office— a pleasant greeting from where he is seated is all that is required. Q. When hors d’oeuvres are served on picks, should they be eaten from the picks, or removed and eaten with the fingers? A. You should use the pick for conveying the morsel to your mouth. Q. Is it proper to write a few lines of good wishes on the card that you enclose with a wedding gift? A. While not necessary, it is a quite proper and nice thing to do.
