Halloween Damage Reported Lessened

By HORTENSE MYERS United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD— Executive director Jacques H. Leßoy of the Indiana Governor’s Youth Council said today that “the severity of Halloween damage is much less this year than in years past/' Leßoy said that his over the state have convinced him “most communities have some kind of program at this time of the year that tends to cut down unsupervised mischief”. A casual check indicates that such community programs have two major approaches. One is stepped-up police surveillance and the other is a variety of alternate activities. Columbus Patrols Up Mrs. Fred Zeigler, wife the Columbus policejchief, noted that her husband increased patrols begmning last week because of a — wave of senseless destruction involving mainly the slashing of convertible tops and pulled up . ...shrubbery. “Here the parents have to pay for the damage,” Mrs. Zeigler said. “So this is a deterrent. Parents are more apt to keep their

blamed for vandalism if they know the damages come from their pocket.” She noted also that various groups within the city have programs planned of interest to young people. “I don't think any young person in Columbus could say there is nothing for him to. do,” she commented. Drive Benefits UNICEF One of the mgjor things-to-do in many communities combines the excitement of trick - or - treating with a beneficial work. This is UNlCEF—United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund. This supervised collection of contributions is done by children who have been organized, usually by local churches, and who wear a tag to keep the householder from being “tricked” by an imposter. Funds collected in this manner are then sent by the churches to the UN for food and medicine provided for children in deprived areas. The senseless marring of windows also has been replaced in many communities by a planned

amateur artists’ program whereby children are encouraged to paint windows tor prizes. Paint on Windows For example, Frankfort has about 50 Halloween scenes painted on downtown store windows by 81 young artists in a contest for which cash prizes are to be awarded. Some cities hold parades which become a major constructive activity and offer children a chance to masquerade for prizes. The cne held at Marion was combined with the high school homecoming. One at Lebanon will be sponsored by the Boys Club. Rochester will mark its 17th annual Halloween parade. Despite all these counter-inter-ests, spotted reports on damage occur, including the extremely dangerous one of ripping up traffic signs, which in the past has led to fatal accidents.

Reelection Os Sen. Capehart Is Predicted By EUGENE J. CADOU United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Reelection of Republican Sen. Homer E. Capehart seems likely today, six days before the Nov. 6 election. There are indications that Capehart will roll up more than a 100,000-vote margin over his Democratic rival, former House Speaker Birch E. Bayh, Jr., Terre Haute. This is despite the fact that Bayh has waged a more strenuous campaign than any of his recent Democratic fellow senatorial nominees, including Alex Campbell, now national committeeman; former Secretary of Agriculture Claude Wickard, and Henry F. Schridker, patron saint of the Democrats in Hoosierdom. Capehart has profited immensely from the Cuban situation and from his twanging on the chord of alleged reckless spending by the Kennedy administration. Against the advice of many leading Republicans, Capehart for months has made Cuba his leading campaign issue, and it seems to have paid off. Policies Adopted He has the satisfaction of having his. demand for a blockade of Cuba adopted by President Kennedy and of having the President threaten a Cuban invasion, another recommendation of the GOP senator. Bayh battled this program with might and main during the long months and found himself far out on a limb after Kennedy’s determined action. Capehart likewise predicted rightly that Khrushchev would refrain from plunging the world into atomic warfare if the President took firm steps in the crisis. — The conservatism of Indiana is traditional. Most Hoosiers have little use for such spending programs as excessive foreign aid, federal help to education, urban renewal, assistance to economically distressed areas, farm relief, and probably medicare. All of these policies have been opposed by Capehart and backed largely by “the Democratic nominee. An unknown ’factor is property reassessment which has brought tax hikes to thousands. It may damage the GOP in its counties and the Democrats in their counties, according to the politicos. Marion Leads The heaviest Republican lead will develop in Marion County. A number of observers believe that the GOP count in ythis largest county will exceed substantially the democratic leasQ in Lake County. ** Spirited campaigns by Republican nominees for prosecutor and sheriff in Lake plus the fact that Democratic party chiefs have been indicted on tax fraud charges ard sure to slash the Democratic total. On the other hand, the Democrats probably will score heavily in Vigo, Vanderburgh and St. Joseph Counties, which should counteract to some extent the GOP totals in the rural areas. Congress Static The present lineup of 7 Republican and 4 Democratic congressmen may be unchanged in Tuesday's balloting. There is a distinct belief, however, that the Cuban policies of President Kennedy, despite delays in their imposition, will benefit the Democratic—congressional Tioinmees7 particularly Reps. John Brademas and J. Edward Roush, who have been running mighty scared. The other Democrats in Congress, Ray J. Madden and Winfield K. Denton, seem to be sure of reelection. On the other hand, two GOP

congressmen appear to be on the hot seat. They are Earl Wilson and Ralph Harvey, both challenged by fast-talking and energetic Democratic candidates. The following Republican in cumbents apparently have the inside track: Charles A. Halleck, E. Ross Adair, Richard Roudebush, William G. Bray, and Donald Bruce. However, the writer, right out on the limb, believes that the con gressional status quo will prevail. Says Hush Puppies 'Nectar Os Gods' By Dick West United Press International WASHINGTON (UPD — It is beginning to appear that I will never be able to finish my lectures on “great dishes of the Western world.” (no applouse. please.) Each time that I sit down to compose a new canto, I am forced to stop and defend myself against attacks from people who want to fight about hush puppies. Not only have they denounced my recent treatise on the origin of hush puppies; one reader went so far as to question whether hush puppies were a food at all. He claimed they were a type of shoe. I thought the same thing the first time I ate one. But if you ever step on a hush puppy with bare feet you will quiekly conclude that they are better eaten than worn. Versions Conflict Mrs. J. W. Willis of Manchester, Ga., writes that my version of how the hush puppy was discovered, and the amended version submitted by Mrs. Edna B. Russell of Smyrna, Del., both conflict with her “family dogma.” She insists that hush puppies were discovered by her husband, who as an infant accidentally consumed some raw cornmeal balls that his parents were using for dogfish bait. I am willing to admit that Mrs. Willis’ story sounds plausible. On several occasions when I have been served hush puppies, the cook didn’t even bother to remove the hook. Mrs. Willis also has an interesting theory on the origin of collard greens. She claims that they grew in the Garden of Eden and that Adam and Eve wore them instead of fig leaves when they wanted to dress for dinner. “Nectar of Gods” I have been unable to verify this elsewhere, but I do have here a letter from J. K. Mumford of Los Angeles in which he describes hush puppies as “the nectar of the gods.” Mumford, personnel director .of Motorola . and a self-styled Yankee expert on hush puppies, expressed this sentiment to David Duncan, publisher of the Culver City, Calif., Star News, who passed it along to me. Duncan also passed along a proposal that he and Mumford and I get together and form a company to market an instant hush puppy mix. The plans calls for Mumford to furnish the money and recipe and for Duncan to serve as chairman of the board. My duties were not defined, but I assume I will be allowed to hire the secretaries. There already are several hush puppy mixes on the market, but I know away to make our product vastly superior. Just add a cup of greasy kid stuff and you’ve got a dish that will keep your stomach in place all day. Skipping Ballpoint If a ballpoint peri begins to skip and seems to have run out of ink sooner than it should, try heating it by holding its point for a minute against a lighted electric light bulb. This often loosens clogged ink, and prolongs the use of the pen. Be careful not to overheat the pen, or its plastic case might soften.

School Units To Be Voted On In State By HORTENSE MYERS * United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—A nonpolitical sidelight on the Indiana election Nov. 6 is another broadside of school reorganization referendums. Last May at the primaries, such referendums were held in about 45 counties. Altogether, about 85 proposed consolidated school units were voted on in those counties, and roughly half of them were approved and the others failed. This fall, as nearly as can be determined by the State School Reorganization Commission, 32 units in 19 counties will be voted on. There may be a few more or a few less—the picture changes almost constantly as legal moves are taken and court orders issued to block or force a showdown on some, specific unit. Each election provides another opportunity for Hoosiers to move another step forward in completing, or significantly advancing, the reorganization program which the 1959 Legislature enacted in an effort to improve public school education by eliminating the little high schools with a handful of pupils and limited faculties, facilities and curricula. One county learned only a few days before the election that it could go ahead with plans for a referendum. The Indiana Supreme Court vacated a temporary order prohibiting a referendum Nov. 6 for Dearborn County where a oneunit system is proposed. Referendums presently are scheduled for Nov. 6 as follows: Bartholomew County— One-unit
