' „i? from DECATUR MUSIC HOUSE QUESTION: •' Why should I start my child on a band instrument now? ANSWER: Never discourage a child eager to learn, nor delay him for your own personal reasons. Your child should start instrumental music with others near his own age level for best results. The most important thing to remember is this: ALL SCHOOLING BETTER PREPARES US TO MAKE I A LIVING . . . BUT MUSIC I TEACHES US HOW TO LIVE! I

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Deplores Boswell's Attack On Governor INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — State Rep. Birch Bayh, candidate for the Democratic nomination for U.S. senator, said today that the verbal attack on Governor Welsh by Indianapolis Mayor Charles Boswell was not in the best interests of the party. But he predicted harmony could be restored after convention. Bayh, at a news conference here today, refused to retaliate for the sharp comments Boswell has made since Welsh picked Bayh for the senatorial candidacy. Boswell accused Welsh of being “a weak governor with the backbone of a fishing worm.” “People in Indiana realize that things are said in pre-convention days in the heat of battle that aren’t meant as they sound,” Bayh said. “It doesn’t help any party to make irrational statements.” However, the 34-year-old Terre Haute lawyer said he felt that “Democrats litce to fight among themselves better than eating . .. then after the convention we get together and join hands in one family." Boswell was in Washington for a conference with two top aides of President Kennedy, Richard Donahue and Ted Sorensen. Before leaving, he said he intended to learn if Kennedy or his staff had intervened in favor of Bayh. Bayh said “to the best of my knowledge” no such intervention occurred. He said that no one from the Kennedy administration had conveyed to him any indication of support.- r _ji ; “Mr. Boswell has every right to go to Washington, but I do remember he once said that aid from the fed er al government should be used only as a last resort,” Bayh said.

Farm Pond Owners In Meeting Tuesday About 24 farm pond owners attended two meetings Tuesday on water weed control and fish management, reported Leo N. Seltenright, county agent. The locations of the meetings were at the Paul Strickler pond in Root township and the Luther Yager pond in French township. David McGinty, fisheries biologist of the Indiana department of conservation, outlined identification and control of aquatic weeds and management for best fishing. Weed Problems McGinty identified filamentous algae (or scum) as probably the worst weed problem, then submerged aquatic weeds (coontail, pondweed, water milfoil and elodea>, cattails and shoreline vegetation like spatterdock, water lily and arrowhead. Algae is best controlled by copper sufate (blue vitriol) at 2 pp, or 5% pounds per surface acre per foot of average depth or 17 pounds per surface acre applied in water spray or by dragging through the water in a burlap bag. Submerged aquatic weeds may be controlled by sodium arsenite at 6 ppm or 21 pounds dry material per surface acre per foot of average depth applied as a water spray. Cautions are that higher rates may kill fish, water should i not be used for livestock watering and swimming is unsafe for five days after treatment. 5-1 Bass Ratio Cattails and shoreline vegetation may be controlled with 2, 4-D spray. Use caution to avoid spray drift. McGinty also outlined other* methods of water weed control as mechanical and biological. They may be effective methods, but probably chemical control is most practical. In fish management, McGinty stated that the stocking rate should inelude more bass than blue gill, probably a 5 to 1 ratio. Also, when fishing, no bluegills should be returned to the pond; however, bass may be returned. An alternative in stocking.may be to stock the bass fingerlings the first year and the bluegill fingerlings the second year., Special Meetings At Church Os Nazarene The Rev. C. E. Lykins, pastor of the Church of the Nazarene, announces special meetings at 7:30 o’clock each evening, tonight through Sunday, including Saturday night. The Rev.

Hot Weather Keeps Up Firm Foothold By United Press International Hot summer weather, prematurely born but having no trouble thriving, kept a firm foothold in Indiana today and showed no signs of early weakening. Although it was only mid-May, conditions were almost identical to the warm and humid weather expectable in July or August. No records have been set during the four-day "heat wave,” but some existing since the last century have nearly been eclipsed. In what may be the longest spell of hot weather in mid-May in the 20th Century in Indiana, the mercury climbed to highs ranging from 86 at Indianapolis to 90 at Evansville Tuesday and headed tor highs of 85 to 92 today, with the same tops expected Thursday. Weather showed no favorites to various geographical locations. Overnight lows ranged from 62 at Fort Wayne to 67 at Indianapolis, and South Bead’s low was warmer than Evansville’s. The five-day outlook indicated It may turn cooler “Friday or Saturday and Sunday” in the northern third of the state, and “over the weekend” In central and south portions. But for the period ending next Monday, the temperatures will average 4 to 8 degrees above normal north and about 16 degrees above normal elsewhere. The forecasts and outlooks were at odds on precipitation. The forecasts indicated ‘ ‘continued fair and quite warm” through Friday in the north and “mostly fair and hot” elsewhere. But the outlooks indicated showers or thundershowers were likely ‘‘late Thursday through Saturday or Sunday” in the north and “scattered showers mostly over the weekend” in other portions of the state. Precipitation totals for the fiveday period will be .75 to L 5 inches north and .75 or more elsewhere.
