Sen. Hartke Cites Problems Os Aged VINCENNES. Ind. <UPD—Sen. Vance Hartke tD-Ind.) called for “an equitable revision” of the social security program today in a speech at City Hall here. “Real problems exist today for the aged.” Hartke said during his tour of the Wabash River Valley. “These are problems concerned with housing, recreation, health, employment and others. “I have proposed legislation which would encourage individuals through tax advantages to construct low cost housing for the aged,” Hartke said. “The problem of employment for the aged is among the most serious with which they are confronted.” he said. “If they desire to work and add to this meager paymerft (social security benefits), they may not earn more than $1,200 without forfeiting their social security benefits. “Our laws permit, however, individuals to receive more than $1,200 in so-called unearned income from rents, stocks, insurance, etc., and still be eligible for social security benefits,” Hartke said. “This inequity in law penalizes those who are most in need of help. . : ~ ■ ... “I have introduced legislation in the Senate to remove this defect from law by removing or increasing the $1,200 earned income limitation," he said.

Gaming Stamp Sales Lower Over Indiana INDIANAPOLIS <UPI) — Purchases of federal gaming device stamps in Indiana dropped 34 per cent during the past year and wagering stamp sales dropped 28 per cent. Records in the Indiana office of the Internal Revenue Service show that 637 of the $250 federal gaming device stamps were purchasedl for the_ new fiscal year Thai began July 1 compared to 973 at the same time a year ago. Sales of the SSO wagering stamps dropped from 650 to 465 over the same period. No official reason for the decline was given by Internal Revenue officials but several individual opinions were offered. Mentioned were the possible effect of the federal court victory at Terre Haute on excise taxes for gambling income and the impact of congressional hearings into gambling. ---—- -— It also was suggested that gamblers and owners of mechanical gambling devices may be evading the publicity attendant upon the purchase of the wagering and gambling stamps, either by not buying the stamps or by waiting until later in the year. The pattern of stamp buying was spotty- with Vigo County having the largest number of stamps for gambliiq* devices and Lake County showing no purchases whatsoever of these $250 stamps. “Must have moved those three machines out on a Lake Michigan boat,” one observer quipped. Last year. Lake County had tttree gambling devices registered with the federal government. However, 77 persons purchased wagering stamps, in Lake County, and in Vigo County, 60 of these stamps were sold. Third in the sale of wagering stamps after Lake and Vigo was St. Joseph with 55 followed by Marion County with 37 and Knox and Madison, each with 2. In sales of gambling device stamps, second after Vigo was St. Joseph with 97, Dearborn was third with 59, followed by Vanderburgh with 52 and Madison with 34. These figures and those which follow are all as of a count made Thursday. Such stamps may be purchased at any time during the year but expire on June 30, 1961 Other $250 stamp purchases, by counties, include: Allen 2, Blackford 1, Boone 3, Cass 2, Clay 12.

He uses figures ot speech which suggest sad chapters in his life-history. When his wife Gomew left him and an three children ba hind her, he had to be a father and

mother to the little ones. This may be a memory underlying the opening words of the 11th chapter. The 'T* in verses 1 through 9 refer to God. He is presented as a loving

Al

father, taking his Dr. Foreman I child (Ephraim, one of the names for the nation of Israel) in his arms and teaching him to walk. It is a heart-stirring picture, the mighty God picking up baby Ephraim and holding him in His “everlasting arms” and teaching him to walk. “Shariur Thai A SarjMaTs Taatk* Perhaps Hosea had had trouble with his motherless children. Surely God had untold trouble with Israel. God and Israel are elsewhere called husband and wife; here they are father and son. But the picture is not of harmony and happiness; K is a picture of “ broken home, broken because th son will not stay at his father'J house, be disrespects his father's orders and wishes. Yet God's tore continues. Even when Israel nets more like brutes than men, Hoses says God feeds them, and makes their yokes and bridles as easy as possible. Yet Israel has never appreciated what God has done. Israel has never appreciated what God would do if they would let him. They worship little gods, “Baals,** instead of the true God. They owe their whole existence as a nation to his mighty help in bringing them out of a Hopeless slavery hi Egypt to a land of hope and freeitor stamperthan a aerpears toota Ria To have a than Mess ehiM," Shakespeare said. Must not God feel the sting of ingratitude even more than we would in a similar cam 7 Evm At TWr Went Israel was a bad nation, made up of mostly bad people. The citizens of their rival country, Judah, thought God had no use for Israel at aH. Its history was stained with bloodshed, its great men were mostly skilled in the arts of destruction, especially war, its worship was cheap and unworthy ot the great God. Hosea says they went away from God, they sacrificed to idols, they are bent on turning away from God, they have refused to return to God. And yet, in spite of Israel, in spite of what they were at their worst, God cries OHt, “How can I give you up?" No book in the Bible makes it plainer that the love of God is indestructible. God loves men even at their worst, he loves those who run away from him. Many persons are bothered by the suggestion that God is the father of all men. Does that mean that aU men aro alike in God’s sight ? Does it mean he tovea wicked men quite as dearly as good men? If we follow the hints we have here in Hosea, we can venture these answers to those questions: Men are not alike in God’s right; the Bible clearly marks off good men from bad. God does love all men; but some run »way from his love. Why Bo A toast? At several points Hosea speaks of Israel not as a wife, not as a son, but as an animal, most likely jri «, a beast of burden. Now it is the glory and the privilege of God’s children to honor and serve him. But there is a great deal of differance between serving God gladly, out of love for him and eagerness to please him, and serving God only because he puts a bridle around your mouth and drives you as a farmer drives a mule. We do not upset God's plan for the universe we do not defeat him, by our mulishness. No man really rum a successful rebellion against God. God is all-powerful and aH-wise aa wri! aa all-patient and aD-tovtag. He desires the free devotion of free sons; but if this is refused, the taDure and the tragedy comes doum

Be Still Rev. James R. Meadows A man who operated an Ice’ ’ house in the old days once lost a good watch in the sawdust. He offered a reward, and though men went through the sawdust with rakes they were not able to find it. When they left the building tor lunch, a small boy went into the ice house and came out a few minutes later with the watch. They asked him how he had found it, and he replied, "I just lay down in the sawdust and listened, and finally I heard the watch ticking.” There are some of us who have lost more than a watch. If we will be still and listen quietly, the Lord will speak to us and show us just where we lost the power and the victory which we so sorely miss. Then we will find it again—as He shows us how sin came and interfered, and how we can get back into fellowship and peace (I John Attend regularly the church of SMITH BRUG CO. 149 N. 2nd St. Phene 3-3614 I ■ . . ■ Your RexaU Drug Store Farmers Dairy SET IN STATION R.
