Single copies, 7 cents. “It’s Your Decision” Numerous pamphlets, under the above title, are being circulated in Decatur about the King-Anderson bill, a proposal to insure medical care for the aged through one-quarter of 1% Social Security payments. Under the bill, all persons who are now eligible for social security, regardless of age, would be covered. Those 65 and over could draw benefits immediately. The patients would be required to apply $lO a day towards their hospitalization for the first nine days, and S2O towards each diagnostic study, but otherwise the entire hospital bill, nursing care, therapy, etc., would be covered by Social Security insurance. There is no limit of choice of physicians, nurses, or hospitals, except that hospitals must be accredited, so that the quality of aid would be raised. Following hospitalization, home nursing care, or nursing home fa- . cilities, would be covered. This bill is entirely in the American tradition es requiring each citizen to provide for his own future and take care of himself. The alternative is expensive public welfare aid, through the property tax and Federal income tax. The alternative means going “on the township” as a pauper, or applying at the public welfare office. The King-Anderson bill would make a fine law. It would eliminate the possiblity of people spending , every cent they make while working, and then being on the public welfare rolls in their old age for others to support. At the present time, only 24 states have taken advantage of the Kerr-Mills law, which provides, at state tax expense, medical care through the public system. This has nearly bankrupted the state of West Virginia, while those Who need the help have not paid a dime towards it. Why not finance hospitialization for the aged through a social-security administered program in which workers will pay in advance for their own hospitalization? -- Exfitorial Writer Today Dick D. Heller, Jr.

Lincoln Is Typical American Abroad

’ EDITOR'S NOTE: The Mlewtaf diapateh by the national reporter et UP! drawz ea hi* recent ebeervatten* a* UPl’* news manager hi Europe. By HARRY FERGUSON United Pre** International WASHINGTON (UPI) - President Kennedy has asked Congress for >4.9 billion dollars to bolster the might and morale of eligible nations under the foreign aid program. There in a high content of dynamite in this issue—as we shall see and hear when Congress debates it But here is a tip: If >IOO,OOO could be spared to bet on a horse named Abraham Lincoln, the payoff would be generous. Honest Abe is the No. 1 American throughout most of Europe. If it’s good will we’re after, he is our man. There is a statue of him near Big Ben in London that is surrounded all day by tourists chattering in Italian, German, French and Swedish. Lincoln has just risen from a chair and is in full stride as though he were en route to emancipate the world of all its trouble. Nobody has to explain him to the tourists. Pietare In Beer Hall There is a color photograph of him in a German beer hall between an opera singer and a movie starlet. Hie proprietor thinks it was placed there years ago by a GI, but he has no intention of letting anybody remove it. He has become a Lincoln fan. This correspondent once had a plane seat, Rome to London, beside an Italiah student who was brushing up his English. He was reading, over and over, the Gettysburg Address because his professor had told him this was English prose at its best. He knew all about Lincoln. A British journalist, a frustrated actor if there ever was one, one, hauled an anthology of world poetry out of his raincoat in a London pub one night and offered to wager >2.80 of Her Majesty’s money that he could recite a longish poem letter perfect, including punctuation. Instead of choosing a British poem that every school boy is compelled to memorize.he jacked Vachel Lindsay’s “Abraham Lincoln Walks at Midnight” and gave a flawless rendition

amid complete silence. Reckless with success, he doubled the stakes and went into “Kubla Khan.” He muffed the seventh line and faded into the fog. Alcoholic, not meteorological. »>■ M Explains Lincoln’s Success Opportunity arrived one evening to ask a British psychologist to explain Lincoln’s success with Europeans. “It’s quite simple,” he said. “More than any other of your heroes he was the typical American. Born in a frontier log cabin. Self educated. A good athlete. A sense of humor. An ugly face that radiated honesty and integrity and, right up to this day, gives a ugly men a sense of well being and security. “Then there is the important fact that he was assassinated. Public figures who are killed automatically gain stature. They trade a few years of life for immortality and in some cases, almost all, it saves their reputations. “Had Julius Caesar lived out his life, the odds are very strong that he would have become a windy old bore, endlessly repeating the story of his victories in Gaul and his romance with Cleopatra. “Lincoln was killed when his life trajectory was at peak. He had freed the slaves, won the war and preserved the Union. Who knows what would have happened to him if he had been plunged into the turmoil of the post-war reconstruction? Events might have whittled a giant down to the size of a normal man.” commemonting the Homestead Act shows a couple whose courage. determination and hard work made a home of a mud hut on the hostile Great Hains of the West.

Lenten Message By The Bev. William A. Keeee Minister, Grace Methodist Church Baltimore Written for UPI Lent is ooserved throughout Christendom in two different ways. With some It is traditionally a period of penitence and self-deni-al. The Scriptural pattern is the forty days our Lord spent in the wilderness, fasting and being tempted, or the forty ho urs he spent in the tomb. The danger, if there is a danger, is that our devotions may become seasonal or that our Lenten denials may be vitiated by after-Eastern dissipation, or, worse still, that our religion may become negative, morbid and cheerless. With others, Lent is the time of intensified religious activity. The Sciptural pattern is those weeks of resolute action at the end of Christ’s ministry rather than the weeks of solitude at the beginning. For those who choose this way of observance. Lent is a time of consecraton, of recruiting and of witnessing before others for Christ. It is, perhaps, more positive than negative. It calls us not to i look inward to our own sins, but outward and upward to the perfection that is in Christ. It directs our attention not to what we must give up but to what we may come to possess. It is not a condemnation o f what we are, but a challenge for what we may become. It holds before us the example of One I who, knowing that the days were well-nigh come that He should be received up, steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem: but it brings to us His compelling exhortation, “Follow me!” This be my Lent; to set a goal At some far-off horizon for the soul; Then, day by day, with stead fast wiU, Unfaltering tread the path, until O’er Calvary’s slope, thru NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATION Estate No. 5732 In the Adams Circuit Court of Adams County, Indiana, Notice is hereby given that Martin J.
