I Murphy Veterans' , Club Meets Monday The 23rd anniversary of the G. C. Murphy Co. veterans’ club will be celebrated Monday at the Penn-Sheraton hotel, Pittsburgh, Pa., G. S. Maxwell, local store manager, said today. Maxwell, who has been with the company 16 years, is the only > local member of the club, but all 20 local employes are eligible after 15 years employment. Sever- , al are quite close to that time This year the total membership ' of the club will evceed 1,760. Os • these, 197 will receive a gift, certificate of award and will advance into the four-week-paid vacation • period. In addition, there are many retired veterans who will be attending, coming from distant ’ states. 1 Club president, P. M. Petrarco, hosiery buyer, located in the McKeesport, Pa., home office, will ■ start the program in the morning with a welcome message. The induction ceremonies for the 1963 group will then take place followed ; with a luncheon and giving out of door prizes; an afternoon of : entertainment and an evening banquet J. S. Mack, chairman of the board and president of the G. C. Murphy Co., will bring a brief message. Births At the Adams county memorial hospital: John and Lauetta Hemrich Ladd, route 1, Monroe, are the parents of a baby girl weighing 7 lbs 2 oz. The baby was born at 7:03 p.m. Friday. A baby boy weighing 9 lbs., 10% oz., was born to Raymond and Anneta Rentz Kinzer Friday at 10:30 p.m. Feed Grain Measure To Be Signed Monday WASHINGTON (UPI) — A feed grain bill designed to influence the balloting of farmers in a wheat program referendum Tuesday was stuck today at the Capitol despite the hurry-up tactics used by administration forces to rush it through Congress. The Senate Friday passed the House-approved measure without changing a comma. But the legislation cannot be sent to the White House until it is signed by the sneaker and by the Senate’s presiding officer. The speaker cannot sign it until the House convenes again. This won’t happen until noon MondayAfter the signatures are affixed, the measure will be rushed to the White House for President Kennedy’s signature. Democratic leaders could have avoided the three-day delay by scheduling a session of the House today, even though there was no legislative business pending. But Democratic farm leaders did not suggest this. They felt it would needlessly irritate Democrats from eastern cities who enjoy four - day weekends and whose support is needed to pass administration farm bills over GOP opposition. Even if the bill had been sent to the White House today, it is doubtful that Kennedy would have signed it before Monday afternoon. “I’m not sure it will have any effect on the voting in the wheat referendum,” one congressional farm belt Democrat said, but certainly the maximum effect would be obtained if the President signs it Monday and the farmers read about it in their Tuesday morning newspapers. Kennedy’s new wheat control program must obtain a 2-1 vote of farmers in the referendum to take effect on the 1964 crop. The feed grain bill contains a provision that would enable growers to interchange wheat and and grain acreage under government planting allotments. Administration strategists felt its enactment would make the controversial wheat control program more attractive to growers in certain areas. Mrs. Donna Rowley Is Injured In Fall Mrs. Donna Rowley, who was admitted to the local hospital Friday morning, suffered a fall in her home Thursday evening and dislocated ner right shoulder and chipped a bone.

Sincerely, Letitia Bildridge Social Secretary Chicago Milk Supply Cut As Drivers Strike CHICAGO (UPI)—A milk wagon drivers union local went on strike early today against five of the biggest dairies in the Chicago area, cutting milk supplies in the nation’s second largest city to a trickle. Pickets began forming in front of the five dairies. They were Dean Milk Co., Borden’s Milk Co., Hawthorn-Melody Farms, Country’s Delight Milk Co., and Bowman Dairy Co. The strike by Local 754 came on the biggest grocery shopping day of the week in the metropolitan area. It also came on the heels of the solution to a six week emergency food crisis for state relief recipients, most of whom live in Chicago. Thomas Haggerty, secretarytreasurer of the local, said 35 other dairies not struck by the union locked their doors to workers. The union opposes a move by the Associated Milk Dealers of Chicago, chief bargaining agent for the dairies, to cut from six to five the number of days on which home deliveries of milk is made. There was no immediate comment from any of the struck dairies. Haggerty said six other dairies in the Chicago area would continue operations. He refused to name them saying “We do not want to open them up to reprisals by the closed dairies.” The local has 5,000 members. It is a Teamsters Union affiliate. “What they (the dealers) actually want,’’ Haggerty said, “is to discontinue all home delivery of milk no matter how much they inconvenience the public, because they can make more money by doing so.” He said that the dealers, by cutting Wednesday from the regular milk delivery days, would inconvenience the public. He said home and store owners would have to expand their refrigeration facilities to keep milk and other dairy products. “They would have to drink stale milk,” he said.

Boost Admission Charge To Parks , INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) ~- The Indiana State Conservation Com- ■ mission Friday opened the door for L increases in admission charges . and camping fees in state parks. Commissioners gave department director Donald Foltz authority to set higher fees with approval of the State Budget Agency as authorized by a 1963 act of the legislature. Present admissions are 20 cents per person 12 years of age and older and 20 cents per vehicle. Present camping fees are $1 a day. Foltz said he would “try to present something to the budget agency next week.” “We talked of increasing the gate admission to 25 cents per person,” Foltz said after the commission meeting. “We also talked of having higher fees only at the parks that are most in use, and we talked about changing the camping fees so they would be higher for the weekends when they are most in demand, but we came to no conclusion.” Any changes probably would become effective June 1, Foltz said, “because June is one of our big months.” He said he would discuss the higher fees with state park superintendents before making any recommendations. “We don’t want to get the fees too high or that would penalize the local people who use the parks a lot,” Foltz said, “but we need more operating revenue.” Foltz said the commission’s interpretation of a legislative move in dedicating a portion of aonecent increase per pack in the cigarette tax is that the money must be spent for capital improvements and not for operation. The commission also decided that free hunting privileges would be continued on public hunting sites maintained by the department, and that negotiations should continue with Indianapolis for acquisition of its abandoned City HallTwO Sentenced For Kidnaping Officers SOUTH BEND, Ind. (UPI) — Kent Mishler, 20, Nappanee, drew a 20-year term and Douglas Hanna 19, Goshen, 10 years in Federal Court here Friday for kidnapping two policemen. Judge Robert A. Grant sentenced Mishler and Hanna for abducting a Nappanee officer, an Elkhart County sheriff’s deputy and a civilian last Dec. 30 after they were arrested on vehicle taking charges.
