NOTES FROM AFTER THIRTY By JACK HELLER AND SOMETHING FQR MY FRIEND Dr. Mel Weisman and his family ran into a weird one not too long ago. The Weismans were taking a Sunday afternoon drive, and since it was rather hot and humid, they stopped for a root beer at one of the area drive-ins. Soon after they were waited on, a fellow on a horse rode up and dismounted between two cars. The gentleman waited until a girl came by, and ordered a imall root beer, and a large bucket of water. The order came back intact, but the horse was contrary—it wanted the root beer. The rider finally gave in to the nuzzling of his four-footed friend, and let him drink the root beer. As he rode off into the sunset, he remarked that the only thing wrong with those places was that there wasn’t anv way to hook the trav on his saddle. AND WHEN THE DUST HAD RISEN Please be careful if you drive over the holiday weekend, readers are hard to come by now days. Sincerely, the traffic toll recorded every weekend, and especially over a holiday, is terrible. The worst thing about it is the fact that most of the accidents are due strictly to human carelessness or impatience. We have “be fateful” pounded into us from the earliest days we get into an automobile. It might be better to do a little harping on the matter of being patient. If your time is so valuable, exercise a little patience behind the wheel of a car, and you won’t waste all the rest of the time you have coming.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES How many people did you meet that thought the explosion the other night was a sonic boom? It's interesting to contemplate on the progress of a nation. In the period of a few short years, we have come to take house-rattling blasts as a matter of course. When the airlines get their faster-than-sound planes running criss-cross throughout the nation, a home builder’s problem is going to be how to sound and vibration proof the houses from the continuous booms. Tile days of underground homes may not be far away. / 30 . . . IN SMALL PACKAGES Jim Goodin is the proud 1 possessor of a snappy little white Fiat. "Hie Italian car is quite a hit with all that see it, and Jim, the meat man, is anxious to show it off. He said he had some qualms the first day he drove it to work, about getting op the highway with it. As you sit quite low, it was a little unnerving to scoot past a big semi, and look but and see nothing, but roaring wheels—great big ones, at that. As none of them sucked him off the road, he feels better about the whole thing. To test its economy, he drove it quite a while, and then wheeled into a service station to ‘‘fill it up.” The bill came to 82

TO A FRIEND Many wonderful things can be said about Msgr. Seimetz—a lot of them already have—but probably never as many as should be. The Msgr. „did more for Decatur than just the spiritual care of his parish. That, of course, came first, but he was too big a man to stop there. All of the city, and most of the county, was his concern, andthe people therein, his friends. He liked to look ahead, and that’s what we want to do, too. Although we’ll miss his hearty laugh, we don’t want to look back in sadness, but ahead, as he always did, remembering with a smile, all the fine things he helped Decatur accomplish. There aren’t too many like the Msgr.—we were fortunate to have known one. DIG THAT CRAZY SUNSUIT In days of old, when knights were bold, And the suits they wore were steel. It makes one shrink, to pause and think, How a sunburned back would feel. The weekend's here, when, every year, We rush to the lake, or track. Returning ill, Too much afill Os old Sol’s rays on our back.

Postpones Carving Up Cuban Holdings HAVANA (UPI) — Prime Min- ' ister Fidel Castro, fearful of crippling Cuba’s economy, has decided to postpone for a year his plan to carve up large holdings of sugar lands. The decision, announce Thursday night by Labor Minister Man- ( uel Fernandez Garcia, came 10 days after the Castro government had moved to introduce a sweeping land reform program. ‘Fernandez Garcia mentioned only sugar lands in announcing the postponement, but the action was j certain to bolster tobacco farmers | and other landowners in their bat- 1 tie against the reform program. ( Castro publicly stated last week J in the face of criticism, both at i home and abroad, that he would < not change the program in any way. ' Fernandez Garcia said Castro 1 subsequently became convinced ! that the Cuban economy would gain a badly needed half million extra tons of sugar if the land reform program were not applied immediately to the nation’s most important agricultural industry. He said Castro hoped that bv oostponing the program for sugar the nation would avoid added unemployment and economic dislocation. Directly involved in the decision were American - capitalized companies whose holdings would have been reduced within a year to 1,000 acres maximum. To Convert Portland Telephones To Dial Officials of “ United Telephone Co. of Indiana today announced plans to convert the Portland exchange to automatic dial service . next year.
