NOTES FROM AFTER THIRTY By JACK BELLER FANCY MEETING YOU HERE Steve Edwards, John Krueckeberg and Ron Feller formed a triumvirate during their high school days, which ended last Spring. The young men were close friends, but the closeness was broken up when they went to coUege. Steve went south, to Hanover College near Madison, John went west, to Valparaiso, and Ron headed east, to Heidelberg, at Tiffin, Ohio. Last weekend, Steve journeyed up to Valparaiso to see John, and on Sunday the pair went into Chicago to see the “big city.” One of their stops was the museum of science and industry. Ron, traveling with the Heidelberg choir, left Tiffin Saturday on a concert tour that included a stop in Chicago, on Sunday. While in Chicago, the choir had some free time, and guess where the busses took them —to the museum of science and industry. Three very surprised young men had the opportunity to reform their high school triumvirate, if only for a few hours. LITTLE THINGS MEAN A LOT Mrs. Fred Isch got a "surprise” birthday cake for her birthday yesterday. It was baked by her husband and two small children. While Momma was away Thursday evening, Dad and the kids got out the cake pans and went to work. The mixing and baking went well, and it was time to assemble the surprise. The first thing that went wrong was the cake sticking to the pans. Seems Fred didn’t grease them too well. While the cake came out a little crumbly, it was reassembled, and didn't look too bad. At least one layer. Little Lisa, who wanted to help, had to get up on die kitchen conuter to be at the right level. In her journeys back and forth, one foot happened to land right in the second layer,. This indentation was filled with icing, and it did real well, as the icing was a little stiffer than usual. Anyway, it’s not the gift, but the thought behind it that counts. _ 30 - '_ j* TO EACH HIS OWN a# We read with interest a column by Jim Bishop sent in to us this week by a reader of the Cuba articles. Mr. Bishop has no use for Fidel Castro, and probably has a lot more background for forming such - an opinion than " I do. Nonetheless, I would like to take issue with him on two of his points. The .first, and a fundamental in journalism, is the fact that according to the article sent in, he hasn’t been to Cuba tor 13 months. To write what the government “is” doing hnd how the people “are” feeling after an absence ot thirteen months is a stretch of the imagination. But

A cops-turned-robbers story told by an ex-convict and admitted burglar two weeks ago touched off I the arrests of at least 17 Chicago policemen, brought about mass [questioning and lie-detector tests of officers, resulted in the resignation of Police Commissioner Timothy J O Connor and sparked a groflid jury investigation. While Mayor Richard J. Daley’s administration was still rocking from the police scandal, a Cook County 'Chicago) grand jury indicted 40 traffic court officials, including three judges and the chief clerk, on charges growing out of the handling of traffic tickets. The investigation was started after newspapers disclosed that thousands of dollars in traffic fines were siphoned off before they reached the city treasury. Municipal Court Chief Justice Raymond P. Drymalski, one of the judges indicted in the traffic court case, previously was indicted with seven other persons in a $250,000 bail bond scandal. The defendants were charged with

probably Mr. Bishop has his contacts and sources that keep him up to date. Then, he goes on to say that Batista was a better ruler than Castro because he ruled with an iron fist. He also admits that Batista was a thief and 'a 'murderer. How a government run by a thief and a murderer who rules with an iron hand can be rationalized into a better government than one that makes many mistakes but has shown proof that It is helping the people it governs is more politics than I understand. It would appear that one would have to look at the situation from strictly a political point of view, forgetting about the people who are starving, which, by the way, is the way Latin America feels about our foreign policy. BACK HOME AGAIN IN During the past year, we have been fortunate in traveling over La- large part of this country, and talking with people from many different states. It seems that Hoosiers have the reputation of ranking second only to Texans in their state pride, and it brings forth the question from many people as to what is Indiana. Indiana, my friend, is a noisy basketball game. It's a poem by James Whitcomb Riley. It is the crossroads ,of America. Its a checker game in the back room, or a political speech in the front room. Indiana is a small boy in torn overalls trudging barefoot down a dusty road, heading for the old swimming hole. Or a millionaire chewing tobaccoa at the state fair. Indian? is a snow-storm in AprU and a heat wave in December, and the people are just as independent as the weather. Make no mistake, Indiana is a state, and not a state of mind. It’s the hilly lake country in the north, broad, feritle Jarm lands through the center, and beautiful hHls in the south. And it’s all Hoosier. Indiana is the center of the counstates group for, reassurance. It try, around which the rfest of the is the home of conservatives, sprinkled with liberals. Indiana is where every man is an individual, and every one is a Hoosier. Indiana is a sum of the past, compressed into the present and pointed at the future. To those Hoosiers who have been forced to move away, we extend ur sympathies. To those Americans who have never visited us, we extend our invitations.
