While civil right*, old-age health insurance, and foreign affair* neem to win the headline* throughout the nation, a deadly aerioua. yet comic-opera acene, la taking place In Congreaa. The big argument, before the Senate interior committee, la, who was Uncle Sam, and where wm he buried? Now to moat of us. Uryle Sum is a mythical character. aymboliring the United Statea; a tall, thin, elderly gentleman with white hair and beard, and a red, white and blue auit. The atory has grown in the past few years that the name, “Uncle Sam" actually came from a story' circulated during the War of 1812. About the time that William Henry Harrison was hurrying through what is now the northeastern corner of Adams county to relieve the besieged fort, now the city of Fort Wayne, a young man was working with the quartermaster department, sending out supplies. This man’s name was Samuel Wilson, and he was well-known to the husy quartermaster officers and men of the nation. Each of the packages sent out was marked U.S.Wilson, standing, of course, for United States, packed by Wilson. But the QM personnel started the story through the ranks that the packages came from “Uncle Sam ’ Wilson, and newspaper cartoonists picked up the idea, using it as a symbol of the nation. He became comparable to John Bull of she British. Now this doesn’t seem like much to argue about. But it is. It seems that the Senate interior committee is considering a bill making a national shrine of “Uncle Sam” Wlson’s grave. The bill locates it at Troy, N.Y. But the Hoosier congressional delegation is backing a claim that the REAL Uncle Sam Wilson is buried near Merriam, Noble county, near Kendallville and Avilla, The Troy Sam Wilson was born in Arlington, Mass., in 1766 (46 at time of the War of 1812) and died and was buried at Troy in 1854. The Hoosiers contend that the real Uncle Sam Wilson was born in 1778 (34 at time of war), and was one of a set of triplets. He died in 1878 at the age of 100 years and three days. He was born in Wilmingtoy, Del., went to North Dakota with the Lewis & Clark expedition, and returned to Troy-on-the-Hudson, N.Y. He migrated westward after the war of 1812, married a Pennsylvania girl, and came to Indiana. Two grandchildren of the Hoosier Uncle Sam still live in northern Indiana —Mrs. Clyde Madison, Albion, and Adam Wilson, 93, of Collins.

Shrimp and other marine life abound near the dyster beds and eat most of the eggs. Only about one oyster out of 400 Will ultimately reach adult size. About 10 hours after the eggs are fertilized, the baby oyster is hatched and able to swim. At this stage it is called a larva and is about the size of a needle point. A shell begins to form within the next 24 hours. Dur-, ing the first two weeks it swims, about looking for a place to rest, testing objects with its foot. Finding a satisfactory place, it fastens itself to one spot for life. In a month it is the size of a'pea, at the end of the year the size of a quarter, and it reaches full size after, three or four years. These are the same oysters used in that delicious, oyster stew you . get at Fairway Restaurant? t .
