Highway Scandals Deplored By Welsh CONNERSVILLE, Ind. (UPI) — Democratic gubernatorial nominee Matthew E. Welsh said Friday night “a key step in halting the increase in juvenile delinquency is for our public officials to adhere to absolute standards of honesty, of truthfulness, of fair dealing.” Welsh told 10th District Democrats that crime and juvenile delinquency is on the increase all across the nation. “How much of an effect does the low moral tone of our state administration during the past eight years have on our children?” he asked. “What are they led to believe when their public officials are caught stealing, conniving, and paying off friends at the expense of the people? What is the effect on youngsters when politics as usual, when the philosophy that anything goes if you don’t get caught, pervades our government?" In a reference to the Indiana highway scandals, Welsh said it was his belief that “these official breaches of conduct teach our children the false and dangerous idea that there is no clear cut difference between right and wrong.” Welsh said that if he is elected governor, he “will demand from each state department head and from each employe that he follow the highest standards of conduct In handling the public's affairs.” Bedford Boy Dies In Fall From Tree BEDFORD, Ind.

(UPI) — Foul weather forced postponement today of a scheduled U. S. launching of a rocket with a 387pound satellite designed to orbit the moon. The shot was called off about one hour before launching time when high winds and heavy rain continued to batter the cape area. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration would not release a new launching time for publication, but the postponement was for at least 24 hours. The 240,000 - mile shot probably will be postponed until some time in mid-October if it does not get off by this coming Tuesday. The National Aeronautics and Space j Administration picked a four-day “ideal” time, ending Tuesday, when the moon is comparatively close to the earth. 1

NOTES FROM AFTER THIRTY HO HUM Jim Cowens walked through the living room recently and noticed his son Jimmy, was sitting on the sofa practically asleep, watching television. Senior asked Junior if he wasn’t getting a little tired, and ready for bed. Jimmy assured Dad that he was not tired, and that he would like to watch the rest of his show. When Jim asked the young man If he was sure he hadn’t been asleep, Jimmy answered, “well, my legs might have gone to sleep, but the rest of me’s awake.” KNOCK. KNOCK. WHO’S THERE? Lynn McDougall, a very personable young evecutlve of the Decatur Casting company, came to Decatur from Pennsylvania by way of Mount Vernon, Ohio. Lynn frequently takes occasion to visit his friends in Mount Vernon, and on such trips, makes residence with a fellow bachelor in the former’s apartment. In fact, on many a trip, Lynn has arrived late, and merely hangs up his clothes and goes to bed, as the latch string is always out and the door never locked, for the friend expects him any time. Last week-end, Lynn arrived in Mount Vernon Friday evening, and proceeded to look for his friend, Dick. Dick was, on last hearing, about to be out of a job, as the firm he worked for had been sold. Lynn was interested to know what had transpired in the meantime. He failed to turn tip the friend, and on approaching the apartment, noticed Dick’s car out in front. He hopped out of the car, picked up his clothes, and approached the door. It was locked. Lynn banged on the door, and wondered what the joke was. The joke was that a total stranger, complete in pajamas and obviously just awakened from a sound sleep, answered the door. Lynn made his apologies, and proceeded to look for Dick. Dick was also looking for Lynn—to tell him that he no longer lived in the apartment. He had moved from town about a week before, and the stranger had moved into the apartment the next day. Lynn is still wondering what the apologies would have been had the door been opened, he had entered and gone to bed, and then discovered the move in the morning. SCRATCHING THE SURFACE Bill McColly, besides teaching, coaching and playing baseball, likes to go fishing. About a month ago, Bill wandered down by the river, kindled a small fire, and leaned back to enjoy the gurgling, if none too cleari, water. After considerable relaxation, he returned home, peaceful in spirit, and probably hungry of stomach. About a week later, he noticed the appearance of about fifteen welts on his back, replete with a large amount of itching. Figuring them for mosquito bites, Bill shrugged them off. A week later, they were still not shrugged off. It was then that Bill realized that chiggers from the river bank do not shrug so easily. But an application of a special medicine known as fingernail polish soon dispelled the invaders. The 'river bank still has its attraction, but it is a vertical instead of horizontal attraction. JUST IN PASSING Please excuse the wandering, or mental meandering if you please. Last Wednesday evening while walking slowly (the only way to walk) home, I got a whiff of the most wonderful aroma extant. Someone was burning leaves, and there was just enough of it in the air to conjure all of the wonderful expectations of the beautiful fall season. Some people sing praises to glorious spring, others like the heat and vacations of summer. and some even like the frosty breath of winter. But this writer

likes fhll, particularly October. It is the time of harvest, a period of laziness between the rush of summer and the isolation of winter. Even nature puts on her most beautiful dress before retiring for the winter. It is a season of football and hayrides, hunting and apple cider. The spooks of Halloween trod the streets wrapped in Mommy’s old sheets through a friendly mist of leaf smoke and field hazif." The old sweater feels good in the evening, and the friendly fireplace feels even better. Life, for a moment, slows down its hurried pace, bidding farewell to a*summer of fun, and fteilo to a winter of snow and holiday scurries. The kids sit on the front porch's top step, content for once without conversation and countless questions, to mere contemplate the harvest moon in its golden splendor. It is a season of relaxing beauty, and it is almost here. ' - ■ 30 —■ ■ George W. Stults, radio operator for the city police department, was so infuriated at the fortunes of the Yellow Jackets football team Friday night that he forgot something. George walked all the way from Wortftman field after the game to his residence at 237 N. Fifth street before remembering that he had driven his car to the ball game. Walking is good exercise, George! Cuba Recognizes China, Korean Reds HAVANA (UPI) — The Cuban government formally recognized Communist China and North Korea early today. The announcement was made by Premier Fidel Castro’s cabinet at the end of an early-morning meeting. The revolutionary government’s action ratifies the decision of a “people’s assembly” Sept. 2 when 1 Castro asked a Havana mass meeting whether Cuba should I break off relations with Natlonal- : ist China and recognize the Peil ping regime. The crowd shouted its > approval. i At the same meeting, Castro I tore up the U,S.-Cuba bilateral ! military pact and told the crowd ! “no Latin American country dared » to re-establish diplomatic or even • commercial relations with the peoI pie’s republic of China...” 1 Castro said Cuba will accept aid from Red China "if we are attacked by imperialist forces.” The cabinet decree gave communist China and Korea the right * to send ambassadors to the is- ’ land republic.
