Tax Conference At 1 Huntington Jan. 2 All farmers of the northeast section of Indiana, including Adams, are Invited to attend a farmers’ state tax conference, to be held January 2, at 10 a.m.', at the Lafontaine Hotel, in Huntington. The meeting is being sponsored by Indiana Farmers Union, according to the announcement made by A. F. Troyer, persident, of the state-wide organization. Troyer stated that the main purpose of the conference is to bring farmers “up to date” on the current tax situation, both state and local, and to discuss the impact of different types of taxation that are ljkely to be proposed in the 1963 Indiana Legislature. Indiana Farmers Union has continuously promoted a net income tax to replace the gross income tax and much of the property tax for several years and . they have high hopes that the 1963 Indiana legislature will anact some kind of property tax Belief. Troyer stated that it is very unfortunate that property taxpapers are having to.raise over 530 million dollars annually in Indiana, which has been an industrial state • for several years. The organization believes that a good portion of this amount should be replaced with a graduated net income tax. Participating in the tax conference also will be Lawrence Dorrell, legislative director, for Indiana Farmers Union. Dorrell stated that he expects the conference to show farmers’ solid opposition to a general sales tax which he claims would hit farmers harder than any other segment of the economy.

New Talks On Dock Walkout

NEW YORK (UPD — Secretary y>f Labor W. Willard Wirtz meets, today with shipping industry representatives, starting a new round of negotiations to settle the longshoremen’s strike. Elsewhere along the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coasts, the six-day walkout by dockwofkers was marked by gunfire, threats of court action and union efforts to keep stray locals in line with national strike policy. -Wirtz, who presided over bargaining until the talks Collapsed last week, said he would confer with negotiators for the New York Shipping Association (NYSA) today. He planned to meet- with International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) officials Saturday. , “It is imperative in the national interest that negotiations be resumed,” Wirtz declared. The strike has frozen movement of most dry cargo in and out of ports from Maine to Texas. Defy ILA Pickets As independent stevedores defied ILA pickets -and unloaded bananas from the Swedish freighter Brita Thornden at Galveston, Tex., Thursday night, four shots were fired and one bullet hit a man who had crossed the picket line. Ben Kline, head of the firm receiving the bananas, was standing only two feet away. The worker, Robert L. James, 37, was hospitalized with an ankle wound. Galveston police said they had no clues in the shooting, and made no arrests. An attorney for the receiving firm, the Texas Forwarding Co., said he will seek a court injunction to prevent ILA picketing of other ships due to be worked by the independents. One tvas expected to dock today. \ Thomas W. (Teddy) Gleason, ILA executive vice president, said he has not talked with Galveston local officers about the shooting. “They can handle it themselves,” he commented. Gleason said he welcomed the call by Wirtz for more negotia T tions. “Any kind of a reasonable settlement will make our men happy and send them back to work,” he said. Injunction Sought Another injunction against the ILA was sought in Tampa, Fla., by a stevedoring company which claims the local union is under contract to work until Jan. 10. The firm obtained an earlier in-

junction to force longshoremen to finish work already begun in unloading bananas. It was '-Peeking the injunction today to guarantee unloading of all ships aigiyjng in Tampa by Jan. 10. / ILA leaders succeeded o Thursday in bringing a halt to unauthorized unloading by union members in Charleston, S.C. Local officials, under threat of disciplinary action by ILA headquarters, promised there will be no further work on banana shipments or on a seed potato shipment important to South Carolina farifi&rs. Main issue at most of the struck ports is the si?e of gangs, now set at a minimum of 20. The shippers want to reduce them to 17 men, but the union says this would throw 5,000 members out of work. a Hiss Funeral Rises Are Held Thursday Funeral services were held at 10 a. m. Thursday for Mrs. Paul Hiss, 56, a native of Geneva, who died of a heart attack at 8 a. m. Sunday as she drove to her home two miles west of Plymouth after attending mass at Plymouth. Services for the former Helen Kelley, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Kelley of Geneva, were held at St. Michael’s church at Plymouth, and burial was in the Catholic cemetery there. Born March 14, 1906, she had resided in Bluffton from her early childhood until her marriage June 10, 1930 to Paul Hiss, who survives. 7 Surviving in addition to the husband are her mother, who resides in Bluffton; one son, John, of Plymouth, route 3; three daughters, Mrs. Jay McLochlin of route 4, Plymouth; Mrs. William Shorter, of Elkhart; ahd Miss Kathleen Hiss, at home; nine grandchildren; one brother, Joe Kelley, Fort wayne; three sisters, Mrs. Harold (Madelene) Schoner, route 3, Plymouth; Mrs. Clemen (Martha) Smekens and Mrs. Cletus (Marie) Geels, both of Bluffton. To Show Film At Missionary Church The film, “The Unfinished Task,” will be shown at the Decatur Missionary x church Sunday at 7'p.m. This“ 72 minute lilni tells the story of a long and bitter conflict between a materialistic father and his spiritually-minded son. John W. Bradford, wealthy construction engineer, eagerly looks forward to the day when his 24-year old son, Jim, will become a junior partner in his firm. All of these plans are shattered when, upon graduation from engineering school, Jim announces that he has decided to study for the ministry. The senior Bradford -is furious. Later the father, through a number of circumstances, has his mind changed and sees the value of the work .his son is doing on the mission field and- to& then dedicates his life to go from city to city telling the need on the foreign field. The public is invited to see this film which is designed to win support for stewardship and mission programs, and to encourage young people to enter full-time Christian service.

Eternal Life _ Lesson for December 8,1962

DO YOU have an ambition to live forever? That depends, doesn’t it? It depends on what kind of “forever” you are thinking about. There are some forevers you wouldn’t want a minute of. other forevers so » gle instant would more than atone » ' I for all the sorrows RjMwJra wise person’s amDr. Foreman famous French play, “No Exit,” in which three characters, all strangers to one another, meet in a hotel room. There is nothing there to hurt them, they are just there—only they can never get out. They get worse than bored, they become desperate, they try to kill one another. But they can’t ... because they are dead and they are all in hell. That’s what it would be, sheer hell, merely to live on and on and on . . . To Know | Christian hope has never (when it was truly Christian) been for simple immortality. If heaven is just more of the same we have known here, most human beings would say No thahk you*. Once is good, but once is enough. But Christian hope has always been centered around a different quality of life, not a different length of life. To be sure, Christians hope for a continuance of life, but that prospect is not even bearable un-: less it is a continuance of a better kind of life than is possible without God. Eternal life, as the New Testament shpws it to us, is not, something you get after you die. You have it now, or you don’t have it. If you have it now, death cannot destroy you. If you do not ~ have it now, no possible length of k post-mortem existence is going to be anything but misery. What quality, then, is the life which we should want to go on through death, forever? We can put all that Christians believe about it in three profound ideas drawn from the New Testament. First, Jesus himself said, “This is eternal life, that they know Thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent.” (John 17:3.) To know Christ—not know about him, stißless to echo what somebody else knows—this is life eternal, this is what makes the vital difference in life. To havt John also says that he who “has the Son” [meaning Christ] has eternal life. Some Christians think this is an expression too bold for them, they are afraid of it. But there it stands. What is it to have Chrigt and is it the same thing as knowing him? We might illustrate from the pupils of some Tamed musician. If he has been a - truly great teacher, when we hear his former pupils in a concert, we say to ourselves at once—Why, that sounds like the old maestro,— I could shut my eyes and imagine it was the old genius himself, > To share i The inspired writers of the New Testament were not much given to drawing pictures of a future heaven. The center of their teaching was life here and now, life this * side of death. Suppose a boy in his teens finds the question bob- , bing up in his mind: How shall I ever be a good father? Now that is a good question, but the best way to answer it is not to spend time thinking about it. The best way to prepare for fatherhood—at the age,' say of fifteen, is just to be the best boy possible. If you aren’t a real boy you don’t have much chance of being a real man. Paul, for example, in a famous chapter which works up to .the great thought of eternal life, does . .hot spend that chapter (Romans 4) describing heaven: He speaks of it in what may seem a strange way: that is, sharing the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The main idea is that the Christian shares the sacrifice of Christ, and also shares his victory. Victories, we might better say; for as Christ was undefeated by sin or by death, so the Christian’s life shares this victorious quality. He hints at something he suggests more than once: namely ’ that the Christian should begin, now and here, to live the life of heaven. Then “heaven, with love abrim, will not seem strange to him.” -

ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS IN 7963 Rev. James R. Meadows As we enter this New Year we want to start this article with a quotation from Deuteronomy„ll:ll; 12: — “The land whither ye go to possess it, is a land of- hills and ■ valleys, and drinketh water of the : rain of heaven: A land which the Lord thy God careth for: the eyes l of the Lord thy God art always ■ upon it, from the beginning of the ■ year even unto the end of the • year.” Today, dear friends, we Stand upon the verge of the unknown. r There lies before us the New Year i and we are going forth to possess ■ it. Who can tell what we shall \ find? What new experiences, what changes shall come, what new needs shall arise? But here is the cheering, comforting, gladdening message from our Heavenly Father: “The Lord thy God careth . for it.” “His eyes are upon it away to the ending of the year.” All our supply is to come from j the Lord. The land is a land of . hills and valleys. It is not all [l smooth nor all down hill. If life , were all one dead level the dull . sameness would oppress us; we want the hills and the valleys. The hills collect the rain for a hundred fruitful valleys. Ah, so it is with 1 us! It is the hill difficulty that drives us to the Throne of Grace and brings down the showers of
