County Honor Band Will Tour Schools L • I l '. £ Friday, the new Adams county honor band will make a tour of the five Adams county rural high schools. At each school the band will present a short concert and the members of the band from the local school will be recognized. The honor band was created this year by the county music teachers and is composed of the best musicians from the five high school bands. This select group rehearses once a month at the different schools and its main purpose is to encourage the better students by playing a harder grade of music than is possible in their local school band. Most of the rehearsal time is spent on reading through the old and new classics of band literature. The directors take turns working with the group and also join in the playing. Although the honor band was formed this semester on a trial basis, the enthusiasm with which it has been received by both the students and directors almost answers that it will become a permanent addition to the county musical organizations. The program for Friday: Russian Choral and Overature— Isaac, directed by Don Gerig. Forgotten Dreams— Leroy Anderson, directed by Darrel Gerig. Overture in Classical Style—Carter, directed by William Hernandez. Colonel Bogey March—Alford, directed by Helen Ehrsam. A Tribute to Glenn Miller—arr. Gass, directed by Peter A. Figert.

Charge China Reds Invading Nepal Kingdom KATHMANDU, Nepal (UPI) — A group of high Nepalese citizens accused Communist China today of invading this Himalyan mountain kingdom and “raiding, looting and torturing” Nepalese citizens. • They threatened to take action themselves to stop Chinese Communist “atrocities” if the government did not act. Sherpa tribesmen who brought the accusation to Kathmandu said the Communists had shot and killed “thousands” of Nepalese.

Nepal is a tiny kingdom high in the Himalaya Mountains between Tibet and India, famed for Mt. Everest and other peaks which tower miles into the air. Hie charges were made by G-N. Vidya, general secretary of the Himalayan Society, a power-; ful organization of Nepalese Sher- 1 pas, in a memorandum to King Mahandra. The note was signed by 511 Sherpas. Vidya made public the charges shortly after a Kathmandu newspaper said the Red army raided a village 20 miles inside Nepal’s border in a search for antiCommunist Tibetans. The government did not deny the report. The Himalayan Society’s memorandum demanded protection against Chinese Communist “atrocities’’ which the society said were committed against Nepalese in Nepalese territory. The memorandum accused the Chiftese of raiding and looting the Nepalese village of Gyabra at the foot of Mt. Everest. Gyabra is 20 miles inside the border. The Sherpas asked the Nepal government to make suitable arrangements for 70 families of prominent Tibetan noblemen who arrived recently at the town of Namchebazar, the victims of Chinese torture and atrocities. The refugees said “several thousand” Tibetans had been lolled by indiscriminate bombing of Tibetan villages, reports which were said to have caused great unrest among the Sherpas. Sherpas who brought the memorandum to Kathmandu said ar large number of Nepalese were shot and killed by Chinese patrols and that Nepalese traders engaged in border trade with Tibet have been arrested and theirproperties confiscated by the Chia nese. ’ *• -- ■ Cub Scout Pack 3061 Will Meet Wednesday Cqb Scout pack 3061 will meet at the Lincoln school auditorium Wednesday evening at 7:30 o’clock.

Oppose Industrialization Os Indiana Dunes Area

Petitions are being circulated in Decatur and the surrounding area to save the Indiana dunes from proposed industrial sites, it was learned today. The Limberlost archery and conservation club members informed the Daily Democrat that they are in support of the petitions, and are contributing their effort to secure a portion of the 1,000,000 signatures of Indiana residents to save the dunes. Petitions containing names of over 250,000 Indiana residents have been acquired. The 3*4 mile strip of durieland is the proposed site of two massive projects. One is the proposed expansion of Bethlehem Steel corporation, of Bethlehem, Pa., into the midwest to compete with U.S. Steel corporation, in Calumet; and the other is a northern Indiana seaport. Indiana proposes to build the port with state and federal funds as a terminal for St. Lawrence seaway traffic. Industry’s plans to move into the undeveloped sections of duneland triggered what is probably the most concentrated struggle over natural resources in America‘'today—the “Battle of the Dunes.” Opposing the development is the Save-the-Dunes Council, Inc., with 1,300 northern Indiana, Chicago area and midwest members, the council is spearheading the petitions to congress to preserve the dunes for public use. The duneland has been a Chicago playground for half a century and attracted 401,454 persons last year, including 65,454 children. The area is used for camping, photography, hiking, nature study, boating, swimming, sand-sking, picnicking and reunions. Scientists regard the dunescape as one of the unique formations in American. There are few places on the North American contijpnt. they say, where as many different plant species can be found as on the Indiana Dunes. The site proposed by Bethlehem Steel corporation is estimated to reach 350,000.000 for the development planned, and an estimated $36.00,000 is listed for the Indiana seaport which is proposed at the dunes' park. The area being considered as industry sites sets east of the Gary city limits and west of the Indiana Dunes state park. Except for the 56-acre Cowles Tamarack Bog acquired by the council five years ago, only miles of undeveloped duneland remains as a possible recreation site. State administrations in Indiana have been oriented toward /industrial and habor development on the
