This 600-acre operation, three miles southwest of Ashley, DeKalb county, will be viewed on the Northeastern Indiana farm management tour, Sept. 10.

An unusual partnership of two young dairymen who rely on herd records for their management de-I cisions will be seen at the final stop of the 1963 Northeastern Indiana farm management tour, September 10. The 600-acre Ivan Buckmaster and Floyd Troyer farm will be visited at 2 p.m. This operation is three miles southwest of Ashley, DeKalb county. The BuckmasterTroyer combination maintains a

herd of 115 cows. Buckmaster and Troyer, both in I their early thirties, alternate the milking chores on a two-week stint. Their herd is maintained in a dry lot with an automated feeding process, utilizing haylage and Lake Ouabache To Be Drained Shortly Lake'Ouabache at the Ouabache state recreation area east of Bluffton will be drained shortly after Labor Day for restocking and improvement. Robert Lane, superintendent of the park, said large bass and other gamefish will be removed from the lake and transferred to holding pens at Lake Wawasee, later to be returned along with parent bluegills and crappies. Lane said the lake presently is over-populated with small bluegills, which will be destoyed chemically. Fishing, including ice fishing, will be halted from the time the operation begins until next June 16, to give the new stock of parent fish a chance to spawn. Dredging of the shallow east end of the lake also is planned, Lane said, to increase the depth in that area by three or four feet. This will eliminate weeds and algae in that portion of the lake and permit relocation of boat dock to that area, which is more accessible to park visitors.

Jay Co. Democrats In Annual Barbecue ... K. O. Reiff, Jay county Democrat chairman, has announced that J. Edward Roush, fifth district representative in the U.S. house of representatives, will be one of the speakers at the third annual Jay County Democrats’ chicken barbecue Sept 7 at the Jay county fairgrounds. The barbecue will kick off the fall election campaign. 5r Roush, serving his third term in congress, is a native of Huntington and a frequent speaker in Jay Reiff indicated that many'other high-ranking Democrats are planning to attend the event. Sen. Birch Bayh of Terre Haute had been planning to atend but he notified Reiff that he will not be able to be present. He reported that the doctor who is. treating his injured foot has advised him to avoid ; appearances until the end of September. A crowd of approximately 1500 is expected to attend the barbecue. That is the number fed last year and each barbecue has been bigger than the previous one. Although the visiting dignitaries will be speaking, the Democrat mayor candidates, Herb Lyons of Portland and Dale Johnson, of Dunkirk, will be the honored guests along with the Democrat candidates for city council in the two communities. The barbecue will be put on by Stalls Chicken Barbecue, Inc., of Goshen. In addition to the chicken a lamb will also be barbecued. The lamb is being donated by Russell McEwen of near Dunkirk. Co-chairman of the barbecue are Robert Stephen, Jay County auditor, and Karol Bryan, a county commissioner. Tickets for the event are priced at $1 for adults and 50 cents for children 12 and under. Tickets will be available at the fairgounds the night of the barbecue. In care of bad weather, the barbecue will be held at the Armory in Portland. Welsh To Explain School Cost Hike INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Governor Welsh will use a statewide radio and television network next v.eek to explain the causes of a sharp increase in the cost of operating local school systems. Ricffard Martin, the governor’s news secretary, said Tuesday the broadcast would be non-partisan and would be carried by numerous radio and television stations ’next' Wednesday or" Thursday as a public service. The program will coincide with the opening of schools in most communities. Production costs of the films and tapes used will be paid from the governor’s contingency fund. Martin said Welsh will “avoid the legal aspects” of the current battle over constitutionality of a 2 per cent sales tax passed by the 1963 Legislature. A lower court ruling that the tax is unconstitutional is now being appealed to the Indiana Supreme Court. Proceeds of the tax, which is not being collected pending the appeal, had been earmarked largely for state aid to local schools. Welsh earlier notified school corporations they will get almost no state support for the second semester of the 1963-64 school year. This has resulted in a sharp increase in property tax rates now being prepared. In many school 1 districts, the advertised tax rates are above the maximum allowed by state law. Martin said Welsh will “attempt to put in focus the financial problems of the schools and the relation of the state to these local problems.” He said Welsh will discuss reasons for the increase in addition to the sales tax dilemma but will not speculate on what the Supreme C<|urt may do or on what steps he may take after the decision is handed down. There has been speculation that Welsh might call a special legislative session if the tax is ruled unconstitutional. i Army Contract To Magnavox Corp.

Youth Day Is Days Feature At State Fair INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — The Indiana State Fair’s accent on youth continued today with high school band competition and selection of more 4-H winners. More than 95 units were expected to take part in today’s band contest, many of them fresh from Tuesday’s competition in the big Farmer’s Day parade. Pike Twp. High School of Marion County won Tuesday’s band competition with Carthage second and the Wilkinson Varsity Band from Hancock County third. A giant green-and-white float praising Hoosier agriculture took the parade’s first prize for the Tri-County Pomona Grange. The Pulaski County Farm Bureau float was second and one entered by the Medaryville Girls and Boys 4-H Club won third prize. Kathy Browning, 8, Muncie, and her horse “Lucky” copped first prize in the pet parade which drew 26 entries. Colleen Callahan, 10, Greenfield, placed second with a basket of young terrier puppies and Alice Ruth Otte, 6, Cortland, and her goose, “Susie Jane,” finished third. Horseback Gymnastics Kathy’s performance before the judges included standing on her head, hanging by her legs and somersaulting, all from the horse’s back. Tearful Tom Stewart, 11, Greensburg, who showed the 4-H grand champion steer Monday, watched the 840-pound Angus steer sold Tuesday for $2,562. Ben Beam of Burrows bid $3.05 a pound for the steer. Last year’s winner brought $3.30 a pound. Tom’s father, Gilbert Stewart, who collected 50 cents a pound for his grand champion steer 29 years ago, beamed with pride as his son tearfully handed the halter rope to Beam. “Those tears you see there mean he loves that steer. If I brought up my boy to feel that way, I don’t mind seeing him sad for a moment.” He said he used his money to go to Purdue University but that he wants his son to start a “whole herd of heifers” with his money. He said Tom “loves animals so much, it’ll be best if he gets to raising some more champions." Nained Top Showman r Daryl Paddock, 18, Alexandria, who won the reserve grand cham- 1 pion award Monday, led the same Hereford into the ring Tuesday to be acclaimed 4-H grand champion beef showman. Kathy Osterhoff, Lafayette, who won reserve grand champion honors with her Hereford ster Monday, took Tuesday’s gold medal competition while Richard Harper, Chandler, won the shorthorn gold medal. Richard Macy, 17, Lafayette, was named grand champion sheep showman in one of the fair's longest judging periods. After it was over, he said, “I sure am tired but I sure am lucky.” Randy Newsom, 17, R.R. 1, Columbus, was named champion swine showman. Attendance Tuesday at the fair totaled 24,148, an increase of slightly more than 1,000 over the 23,115 recorded on the corresponding day last year. Total attendance for the first four days reached 92,501 compared with 88,252 for the first four days last r“ r - Youthful Elopers Held Here Briefly A 15-year-old Michigan boy and a 16-year-old Ohio girl, apparently undaunted by the high cost of living, were arrested by the Adams county sheriff's department Tuesday night as they were traveling to Kentucky to be married. They had only $1.50 between them. The arrests occurred after a car driven by Tom Schultz, 15, Adrain; Mich., and owned by the mother of his young campanion, Lindaj Johnson, 16, Edon, Ohio, hit tht rear of a car driven by Mrs. Billie Weidler, route 1, Geneva, causing SSO damage to the Weidler car and S2OO damage •to the Johnson car. Mrs. Weidler's car had been flagged to a stop by repairmen who were working on the section of route 27 where the accident occurred. The “groom” later said he was so engrossed in watching the construction work that he did not see her stop. The two juveniles were taken to Adams county jail and released last night in the custody of their parents. Juvenile authorities in their respective counties are being notified.

Federal Judge Halts School Desegregation

By United Press International A federal judge, citing racial tension, Tuesday blocked the first voluntary school desegregation in the Deep South state of'Georgia. The ruling, which stopped the enrollment of six Negroes at a Brunswick, Ga., high school, was handed down while Negroes from throughout the nation traveled to Washington for today’s historic freedom march on the nation’s ■ capital. Although the Brunswick integration Was blocked, the school board at nearby Savannah, Ga., announced Tuesday that 21 Negroes will be admitted to two white high schools. The Savannah board acted under an order of the same judge who halted the Brunswick desegregation. At Buras, LA., archbishop John P. Cody called for citizens to overthrow “hateful influences” 1 which he blamed for an explos- • ion and fire at a once-integrated 1 Catholic school.

Eleven persons spoke for the levy i and four against it before rebuttals for both sides began. The hearing lasted two and a half ■ hours.
