Announce Plans On Purebred livestock The National Farmers Organization (NFO) is now 'in the process of making final arrangements to supply this country’s largest exporter of purebred livestock, according to Charles Workinger, Adams county NFO chairman. “We feel this is a real asset to our members who produce registered livestock,” he stated, "for it opens up a whole new field in our group bargaining efforts?’ Workinger said that some purebred breeders had taken an indifferent attitude toward the NFO in the past, because many of them market little or no livestock. “With the adoption of this new phase of our program to increase farm income, all livestock producers can benefit substantially," he added. He went on to say that countries such as Japan and Germany are striving to increase their standard of living which enhances their demand for basic breeding stock. He said the NFO plans to try and supply the need of this stock from withni the organization of those farmers who qualify. Workinger said further information could be obtained from the county NFO chairman or the county meat bargaining commitee.

You, Your Child And The School

By DAVID NYDICK UPI Education Specialist Laws covering education vary somewhat from state to state but they have similar provisions. Parents should have sufficient knowledge of them so they will understand their rights and responsibilities. School attendance is compulsory and parents have a choice of financing a private education or using the public schools. In either case, the public schools are available for *a complete program through high school graduation. The parents have the responsibility to keep their children in attendance during the required ages. Penalties generally are imposed for those who do not obey these laws. Various aspects of each school are covered by state laws which set certain minimum standards. The local school board very often provides educational programs which surpass these basic requirements. The school board in a community which has an interest in quality education and is willing to support such a program usually will go well beyond the minimum required by the state. Law Varies Widely Naturally, there are many variations in the different states as well as in the communities within a state. The laws generally provide minimum salaries, tenure, and retirement for employes. New buildings and major renovations must be approved by the state. The state also recommends and acts as a consultant in all areas of education. A copy of the law is probably available in the school office or local library. The local school board represents you. Special requests may be directed to the school board but you should first go to the school administration. Most requests are handled by the principal or superintendent within established policies. Bus transportation is organized on a mileage basis. It often varies with grade level. In some communities exceptions are made for handicapped children or those Who have dangerous streets to Cross. If you have any questions concerning transportation, ask to see a copy of the school policy. In unusual circumstances you might make a special request to the school board. u, JProvlsioas For Handicapped ’ Many children have particular handicaps, interests, and needs. If the local school cannot cope with these, provisions may sometimes be made to obtain the necessary program from outside the local system. In many cases, the state requires the local school board to pay the costs. This will usually include transportation. If your child is deaf, blind or otherwise seriously handicapped, you should investigate the available programs with your local school system and the state education department. If your child is interested in a specialized high school course, (automotive, aeronautics, etc.) which is not offered Burkhart Funeral Services Today Funeral services were scheduled for 2 p. m. today for Carl G. Burkhardt, 63, of Fort Wayne, brother of Mrs. Edwin Nyffeler of Berne. Burkhardt died Thursday afternoon of a heart attack. A lifelong Fort Wayne resident, he was a member of the Concordig Lutheran church and had "been employed for 30 years at Hillman's China company. Surviving are his wife, Elsie; twd daughters, Miss Mary Lou Burkhardt and Mrs. Helen Ricker, both of Fort Wayne; one grandson, and another sister, Mrs. Ronald Wilkinson of Roanoke.

Please Omit . . . . Recently a trend has been started by certain "Memorial Societies" to entirely eliminate flowers from the funeral service. In our estimation nothing is quite as bleak as a service completely void of floral offerings. We welcome flowers. They are God's creation intended to carry a message of sympathy and understanding. \; Gillig & Doan Funeral Home 312 Marshall Street PHONE 3-3314

locally, you should investigate the possibility of a school in another district. This can be done through the local super inendent’s office. There are several important factors to remember. If you have a problem, clarify your responsibilities as well as the schools. The schools are maintained for the public’s benefit. This does not mean that the school is at the mercy of each individual's whim. The parents and the schools both have responsibilities. Cooperation is for the benefit of the children. Stage Star Says Broadway Is Sick By VERNON SCOTT UPI Hollywood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD (UPI) - Jason Robards Jr. says Broadway is sick .and that he’s staying away from the main stem for the next two years. The gaunt star plans to appear in the new Lincoln Center reper"and there are a lot of things plays, which means giving up a weekly salary of $7,000 which he commands on Broadway. The Lincoln Center will pay him less than a thousand a week. "Broadway is in terrible shape,” Robards explained. "The financing situation has become impossible. The costs of putting on a play are unreasonable and ticket prices are almost as bad. Most of the economic problems are caused by stage unions. “But the real sickness on Broadway is the lack of guts. Producers are afraid to try new things. They have no imagination.” Strong language. But Robards is no disenchanted novice. He has starred in long-run hits for the past decade w hen most plays flopped. Had Many Hite His hits included “The Iceman Cometh," "Long Day’s Journey into Nights,” “Toys in the Attick,’’ “The Disenchanted” and "A Thousand Clowns.” Only “Big Fish, Little Fish” failed to click. As one of the most in-demand actors in New York, Robards has had his choice of roles, but he says there is little to choose from this year. “I was growing stale,” he said, >*'and there* re a lot of things I have to relearn. I figure two years in repertory working with men like Arthur Miller and Elia Kazan will be tremendously stimulating.” Robards, with wife Lauren Bacall, is spending two months .in Southern California relaxing fishing. To pay for his vacation he accepted a starring role in "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich,” a segment of the new Bob Hope television series. It is a moody story about Russian concentration camps under Stalin. Regrets Broadway Plight Robards, a restless, vital man, regrets the plight of Broadway and sees no solution to its problems. “The stage is stagnant,” he said during a noon break on the video set. “It's like a circle that keeps closing in on itself. It's so commercial there isn’t room for anything that hasn’t been tried before. Jason Robards fans will be happy to learn that they will be able to see him perform in the Lincoln Center repertory company for $1 a head instead of the $7 and upwards for tickets on Broadway. “It begins to make sense when you look at it from a financial point of view,” Robards concluded. "The public will be able to see good plays at reasonable prices and I’ll b eable to w<yk with fresh, challenging material "

Another Driver's License Suspended For the third straight morning a driver’s license was suspended in city court by Judge John B. Stuits today. The license of William Haviland. resident of route 2. Geneva, was suspended this morning by Judge Stuits, when the man pleaded guilty and was convicted of a charge of driving while under the influence.

On both Thursday and Friday mornings a license was suspended in the city court, also on convictions of driving while under the influence. Richard J. Sullivan, local attorney and deputy prosecuto"?, has been filling in for Severin H. Schurger, who is vacationing, this week.
