School Legislation Backed By Women Major Project Os League Os Voters INDIANAPOLIS (UPD-rSchool reorganization will be the major project of the Indiana League of Women Voters in this session of the General Assembly. * • Two years ago, the absorbing Interest of the organization was in a "home rule” bill which would have enabled cities and towns to substitute the city manger system for the present system of po-litically-chosen mayors and city officials ./ However, the league# went down in defeat on that resolution, which would have submitted a constitutional amendment to the voters in the recent election. Under the Constitution, that proposed amendment cannot be acted upon by the Legislature until its 1961 session. As in past years with the "home rule’’ amendment, Sen. D. Russell Bontrager <R-Elkhart> and Sen. Von A. Eichhorn <D-Union-dale) are championing the league’s school program. , Appropriates $50,000 They have introduced a bill, assigned to the Education Committee, which sets out methods for school reorganization and consolidation and creates state and county study commissions, with an appropriation of $50,000. The league's body of directors will meet later and consider a number of measures which will have been introduced pertaining to the merit system for state workers, penal reforms, mental health programs, assessments and possibly the direct primary, according to league spokesmen. While the league lobbyists are comparatively quiet; compared to past years, the legislative corridors are swarming with numerous other women lobbyists representing welfare, social hygiene, probation, mental health and similar interests. Most of their projects would involve additional spending by the state and local units of government. There is a strong movement of probation advocates against _ a proposal to lower the age of criminal responsibility from 18 to 16 years, thereby discouraging the pampering of juvenile delinquents.

FOP Endorses Plan • This proposal is endorsed by J. Edgar Hoover and the Fraternal Order of Police of Indiana. The latter organization likewise favors the fingerprinting and photographing of juveniles charged with a felony at the age of 14 and the creation of an intermediate penal institution to. house males between the ages of 16 and 21. as proposed by Governor Handley in his address to the lawmakers. — A resolution adopted by the organized policemen said: , "In dealing with juveniles, we police officers find that the present juvenile law does not operate to help curb the criminal acts of juveniles, but rather tends to ‘coddle’ the delinquent and encourage additional criminal acts by showing him that his chances of being punished are very slight. It is high time that these adequate and realistic proposed changes be made in the law during the 1959 session of the Legislature.” Clifford Ziegler Dies Unexpectedly Dies Thursday At Home Near Markle Clifford Ziegler, 70, a native of near Geneva, died suddenly at LSO a. m.

Speed Typist Here Tuesday Afternoon Cortez Peters To Give Exhibition Cortez W. Peters, whose interna-tionally-known typing prowess enabled him to become a world champion and a polished demonstration performer as well, will appear at Decatur high school Tuesday at 1 p.m. to exhibit his spectacular typing speed and unique feats on the typewriter. Peters has come far since, as an 11-year-old boy, he first started typing via the "hunt and peck” system on a machine his father, a watchmaker, received in trade. His first step toward a rather fabulous career was taken when he entered high school as a commercial student. Within a year of "his first lesson, Peters won the high school championship. Several,' years later he took first place [for the half-hour amateur division in the international typewriting contest, capturing the title of world's amateur champion typist. Although it was necessary for him to earn his living dur-, ing the day, his skill increased steadily with long evening practice sessions and, several times, he finished runner-up in the professional division of the international typewriting contest He has succeeded in attaining an official international contest speed , of 141 net five-stroke words per minute for one hour of continuous typing with an accuracy degree better than 99%. and has won the world’s accuracy trophy. Using a portable typewriter, Peters also won the title of world’s portable typewriter speed champion. 1 In the early days of his career. ' while working for a congressman ’ in Washington, he took important ' speed dictation at the typewriter, I and did the same while working ■ with official reporters of the house • of representatives. He has become a nationally- • known television and radio person- ‘ ality through his exhibitions over 1 these media, and has also been featured in a number of movie shorts. In addition, he has gained recognition as a leading business educator. Students in the three business colleges operated and supervised by Peters in Washington, D. C., Baltimore and Chicago, receive the full benefit of his experience and skill. Peters, who appears thrdtfgh the' courtes yof the Royal Typewriter company, will not only demonstrate the fundamentals of proper typing technique, but will perform many of the sensational stunts which have earned him his reputation as a fine entertainer as well. During his exhibitions, he does a tap dance on the keys to the accompaniment of a record, speed types while blindfolded and wearing mittens, and recites humorous poetry while typing, from copy. In the latest feat developed by Peters, he asks questions of the typewriter which he answers by striking the keys—making the typewriter talk. The familiar typewriter becomes a new attraction once Cortez Peters goes into a demonstration. REBEL REGIME Continued from page one the war crimes trials and executions. The newspaper El Mundo said the government should give fuller publicity to the “crimes of Batista agents” to offset it. Fidel Castro reacted sharply to U.S. criticism, saying that “I won’t sell out to the Americans, nor will I take orders from them.” His statement followed U.S. congressional demands for a U.N. investigation, a trade embargo and a ban on tourists. The revolutionaries charge that Batista supporters m urdered 20,000 persons in the past six years. Cite Many Confessions Dr. Francisco Muller, director of the Havana morgue, said the beaten or bullet-riddled bodies of 600 youths, believed to have been rebels captured by the police, were dumped at his door while Batista was in power, Muller estimated that only about a fifth of the rebels killed in the Havana area during that time passed through his hands. He said the others probably were thrown into the sea, burned or buried in unmarked graves. In one instance, he said, police demanded an autopsy report saying that a doctor was killed by a hit-and-run driver when the condition of the body, clearly indicated he had been beaten to death. ...- — 1 -7 ' ■ —. , ~y~ : El Mundo said in a front-page editorial that the Batista men executed this week were “convicted assassins who in many cases had confessed .. multiple crimes committed with u n V'q ua 11 e d sadism.’* ' Thousands Await Trial "It is necessary to take steps to make sure that all the people of the world know the Cuban revolution isn’t inspired by revengeful fury but by the legitimate right to punish criminals," the newspaper said. Meanwhile, it was announced that expenditures for education—--18.5 million dollars—and defense—--17.5 million—will make up nearly half of the 87-million-dollars budget for 1959’s first quarter.

Devotional Beading: John 13:1-17. Cost of Greatness Leeson for January 18, 1959 THERE is a religion which specializes in destroying desire. If you wish to be saved, they will tell you, you must stop wishing for anything, even to be saved. You must go farther than that, you must get rid of the wish to get rid of all wishes. The happy man is he in whom all desire is dead. Jesus never indulged in such

talk. He had no H"_w hard words for ambitious men. Os course it made a different story, when men were p § i ambitious for the rXHRV ■■ wrong reasons or L \ for the wrong B things. But am- £ bition as such, he never condemned. ® r * Foreman

Two of his nearest friends told him one day, not top privately either, that they wanted to sit at his right hand and his left when at last he should be King. That was another way of saying they wanted to share his power and his greatness. The other disciples were disgusted and angry; but not Jesus. AU he said was, in effect: Greatness lias a price; are you prepared to pay rtf TH Ttwal The price was a cup that must be drunk; a baptism to be undergone. It is quite plaih' that these are figures of speech, as Jesus used them to those ambitious brothers James and John. For Jesus was never bap-*' tized after that, and aU the cups from which he drank were ordinary cups such as all poor families used. This price-of-greatness Jesus himself iUustrated by what he, greatest among the great, was and did. » At the last supper, it was remembered afterwards what Jesus had done besides presiding at the meal. He knew he had come from God, knew he was going again to God, and that the Father had given aU things into his hands. Surely these words spell greatness beyond comparison. Yet knowing his greatness, "he took a towel . . .” (The story Is in John 13.) The cost of greatness is to become a servant. The mark of greatness io Dot pmoeo over, but service-to. Tb« TtacMag Well, you might say. that towel incident was something special. Jesus sat among those men as their acknowledged Master; if for a few moments he took the part of a slave, a personal valet, lie soon enough put on the teacher’s gown again. Is there some way of serving others where we are, as we are—is there any way in which a teacher, for instance, can be “servant of all” without leaving the classroom or putting on an apron ? Again Jesus shows us the way. AH through his public life he was a teacher. What he had to say was more than personal opinion, It was a message from God. Yet Jesus was always humbly at the disposal of those he taught, with all their stupidity and selfishness. Much of his teaching, if not meet of it, was simply speaking to questions or remarks other people made. When 1 heckler would ask him a question, he seldom brushed it off. He never said, “I am too busy to answer you," or “Your question is too stupid for words.” On the contrary, he met people where they were and answered the questions they had, not the questions they doubtless should have had. So the professional man or woman can take his profession as a mere ladder to the big money, or as a means of humble service, in Christ’s nams and spirit Ttet Cross For Jesus, being at the service of others was not a matter of keeping office hours, of "being available."’That was much; but there was a last and highest point. Day by day he spent himself for others. Butat.last he gave his life, not bit-by-bit, hour by hour, but all at once, poured out like wine of sacrifice. The Son of Man, he said of himself, did not come to be served but to serve ... But what did it mean, to him, to serve 7 The servant's towel was dramatic. The serviceable teaching was leas dramatic, more useful. But these did not reach far enough. When his saying about “not to bo served but to serve" was remembered, they remembered the end of the sen twee; "to give his life a ransom for many." Jesus* road to greatness took him straight to the Cross. No by-passes lead to greatness.. Thinking over the rollcall' of Christian heroes—the reader may name his own—one quality in found in them all; tiny loved thom■elves last. ■ ■■ . ■ ■

I needs more Christian leaders. The I home, the state, the church of tortiorrow are the young people of today. Therefore, you will readily see how important this matter of training the youth is. Christian training is the best training that a child can get. It is outside the « sphere of the state to give such training. This is the duty of the church. Jesus said: “Feed My lambs.” True, this instruction should be given in the homes. But : many parents are either indifferent or incapable to do this. Your church lends you a helping hand ! in this important work. What shall it profit a congregation if it gain the whole world and lose its boys and girls? Take the children to Sunday school next Sunday and every Sunday, and you will thereby aid im wiping out juvenile delinquency. This Week’s Bible Verae “And ye fathers, provoke not ■ your children to wrath: but bring the mup in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.”—Ephesians 6:4.
