Vance Hartke has found Indiana citizens enthusiastic about an immediate tax cut, and this makes sense. As our nation’s "plateau of high employment” countinues, economists have become increasingly concerned that it can continue without a tax cut. If it lasts until November, it will be the longest “Good times” period since the Second World War; if it lasts until next April, it will exceed all plateaus in our history, exctpt the 1933-37 period, which was a period of gain, but still a depression period, in that so many were out of jobs during that time. What will the tax cut mean to the average taxpayers? Sen. Hartke explains that cuts will vary with salaries now received. Below are some of the questions asked of Senator Hartke in recent weeks followed by the answers. Question — What will the tax cut amount to for a person in the $3,000 to $5,000 income range? Answer — Taxes in this range will be cut by more than 26 per cent, on the average. As an example: a married couple with two dependents, $5,000 income, joint return, standard deduction, now pays $420 in taxes. Under the new program, the couple will pay only $290, a reduction of $l3O or 31 per cent. Question — Will income taxes be reduced in all categories? Answer — Yes. The present rate scale which runs from a niinimum rate of 20 percent to a maximum rate of 91 per cent will be replaced by one running from 14 per cent to 70 per cent. Corporation and capital gains taxes are being cut too. Question — What is the purpose of the tax cut? Answer — A principal reason for the tax program is to create jobs. The tax program will lift the repressive weight of incotne tax rates Imposed on the economy in wartime to restrain demand and permit it to grow more rapidly and create additional jobs. That is what it was designed for: to accelerate economic growth, to stimulate demand and incentives to invest, to narrow the gap that now exists between what we produce and what we could produce and to reach full employment. When fully effective, the tax cut will also bring us closer to a balanced budget and help our international balance of payments. Question — What are the prospects for pas- , sage of the new tax bill? Answer •— The prospects are good. lam hopefill we will have a tax cut bill signed into law before Congress adjourns this winter. The measure would go into effect January 1.

Judge Hunter Speaks At GOP Headquarters

“Good government is the best politics,” declared Judge Donald Hunter of the Indiana Appellate court to a crowd of 55 Republican workers at the opening of Republican headquarters in Decatur Saturday evening. The Appellate Court judge shared speaking honors* with Mayor Donald F. Gage, as the Republicans held their opening meeting at the party headquarters in the Rice Hotel coffee shop. - r - Judge Hunter urged the Republican candidates to be “do-ers” during the campaign, and after elected. The Judge, who illustrated his talk with personal observations, both on the national and state level, stated that he had heard from numerous sources that “Don Gage has done a good job” — and complimented him on being a “do-er,” Mayor Gage, seeking his second term as Decatur mayor, reviewed the past four years. He pointed out the various streets that had been cither constructed entirely, or resurfaced, which is approximately B'4 miles or 30 per cent of all the streets in the city. Also, the mayor pointed out, 54 blocks of alleys have been Unproved, and he noted the improvements to the water department, police department, fire department and sewers.

Cites Teamwork .../ Gage exclaimed that the accomplishments were obtained by “teamwork” — and the cooperation of all the elected and appointed officials and employees. In speaking of the future, he pointed out that in the past four years particular stress had been placed on up-grading the streets, sewers, police and fire protection, but a new and better supply of water should be considered for Decatur’s future. Although the need is not immediate, surface water storage will have to be planned, the mayor said. In a question and answer period, Mayor Gage {feinted out that the proceeds from the light plant had not been dissipated and that nearly $1,200,000 remained from the sale. Most of it is invested in government* bonds, beating interest of about five per cent. G. O. P. Slate Gage said that he was jprmfd of the G. O. P. council slate: Clarence Ziner, Charles, Stonestreet. Gerald Strickler, Don Mac Lean and Winifred Spaulding. Judge. Hunter’s talk followed an invocation delivered by candidate Stonestrect. Special recognition was giver to RoV L.

Survey Now Shows South Adams Needs The results of an analysis of attendance figures made by South Adams school officials indicate that the surge in school population growth the past several years has apparently subsided and is leveling off. The officials expect the school population to remain about the same with only slight, if any yearly increases. High school enrollments for both the Geheva and Berne high schools are expected to drop slightly for the next several years with slight increases expected begihning with the 1968-9 school term. Presently Berne high school has 318 students and Geneva has 210. Becausd of the difficulty of anticipating first grade enrollments, the accuracy of the predictions for elementary enrollment could not be guara nte e d Based on the number of children now in school, however, the elementary student growth at Geneva appears to be about five per cent and the rate at Berne .ibout three per ent annually, about three per cent annually, ments indicate that next year's first grade enrollments will probably be somewhat smalller than those of the past several years. The average elemntary class size this year is 28 for Geneva and 30 for Berne. The present facilities at Geneva and Berne could accomodate’ a maximunt of 2000 pupils, or an increase of fourteen per cent more than at present. The current enrollment at Geneva is 738 and at Borde 999 for * total of 1737.

Schwartz Family Long Time Cheesemakers

By Mike Thoele “My father was a cheesemaker and his father before him and his father before him and ... it goes a long way back,’’ the man will tell you. He will also tell you, if you visit him and talk to him long enough, that he makes about 50 pounds of cheese each day (seven and a half tons a year) and‘that be sells it to people from all over the United States. The man’s name is Samuel Schwartz. One of Adams county’s Amish farmers, he and his wife, assisted by some of their 16 children, make Swiss cheese by the same centuries-old process which was used in early Europe. Numerous magazines and newspapers have carried stories of their work and tourists freuently wend their way to the 205-acre Schwartz farm, located east of Geneva. The cheese is made in the “cheesehouse,” a small building only a few feet from the Schwartz house. Each weekday they make a fiftypound wheel of cheese and store it on special shelves in their basement. The wheels are kept in order and the oldest ones are always sold first, usually when they are about three or four weeks old. Ancient Process The cheesemaking method itself is an old and uniue process. Basically, cheese is made by coagulating milk, removing the whey and preserving the curd. The milk is coagulated by adding the enzyme rennet. Variations of temperature and timing in the process, the addition of certain bacteria, and the -type of grass fed to the cows, produce the many different types of cheeses which are common today. The cheese which the Schwartzes make is a special Swiss variety, but it has certain attributes which are characteristic of Cheddar cheese. The milk is heated over

Monroe Minister On Steering Committee Dr. Donald E. Bailey, superintendent of the Fort Wayne district, and Darrell Morlan, president of Church Builders, Inc., have announced that Sept. 30 will be the “kick-off" dinner for this year’s observance of the Fort Wayne district’s “B” day emphasis. This emphasis is carried over the entire Fort Wayne district and some 250 persons will be in attendance at the buffet dinner. The Wallen Methodist church will be hosts. There is planned an outstanding, and dynamic speaker for the program this year. With official invitations being sent out to every Methodist minister, finance chairman, missions commission chairman, and local church builder representative, this will be an unusual meeting and one of the first of its kind attempted. The “kick-off’’, dinner will be the beginning of an educational and cultural program for a “B” day date to be announced at the dinner. On this “B” day every church in the Fort Wayne district and every person in the district will be challenged to participate in the work of church builders. A steering committee appointed by President Darrell Morlan and Dr. Bailey is in charge of this year's emphasis and includes Rev. Mark Blaising, Wallen Methodist church, chairman; Rev. Virgil Bjork, First Methodist church, viqe chairman; Rev. Charles Elam, Monroe Methodist church; Rev. Gorman Pritchett, Ossian Methodist church; Rev. Bep Antle, Angola Methodist church; Rev. Robert Jackson, Huntertown Methodist church; Rev. John Paul Jones. Auburn Methodist church. Serving on publicity are Rev. Harold Leininger, Epworth Methodist church. G. Thomas France, and Rev. Robert. Jackson.

an open hearth in a huge 106-gallon copper kettle. The rennet is added at a temperature of eighty-five degrees and the mixture is heated to about 125 degrees. It is then allowed to pool. It is stirred as it cools and begins to thicken. After it has cooled for a while it is reheated, then cooled again. Next it is poured through a cheesecloth. This separates the curds from the whey. The curds are then wrapped in a cheesecloth and placed in a special round mold on a wooden press weighted by heavy stones. The fifty-pound cheese is left in the press for a day. Periodically the mold is turned over and the cloth changed. At the end of the day the wheel of cheese is removed and stored on the cellar shelves near the rows and rows of canned goods which Mrs. Schwartz puts up each year. Each cheese is washed daily and its outside salted to preserve it. ———Family Trade — Sam Schwartz comes from a long, long line of cheesemakers. His great-grandfather, Johannes Schwartz, made cheese in Bern, Switzerland, which is the birthplace and the center of the Swiss cheese'making industry, and later in Al-sace-Lorraine, a French province. After the family came to this country, his father began making cheese on a small farm north of Berne and Sam continued the work after his father died. ' » And the tradition is being carried on. The Schwartz children have been taught the trade by their father and those who are still living at home help with daily cheesemaking routine. “Good cheese,” says Schwartz, “takes good milk. The quality of your cheese depends upon the amount of bacteria in the milk. The action of the bacteria determines the taste of the cheese and how

sharp it win be.” Control of Bacteria _ The bacteria are controlled by regulating the temperature of the milk before it is made into cheese. In summer the bacteria count is higher so the milk must be kept very cold to keep the bacteria from building up to a point where it would produce a cheese of the wrong taste or sharpness. In the winter, steps must be taken to build up the amount of bacteria by preventing the milk from becoming too - cold. All Schwartz’ cows are Holsteins, which produce much milk with a relatively Ipw butterfat content. They are fed Ladino clover, which helps impart the correct flavor to \ the cheese. The widespread reputationfwhich Schwartz’ cheese has gained is truly amazing. 'Besides his numerous customers in the area, including many in Decatur, he has sold cheese to residents of every state. Many of them have read about him and others have been sent by their friends. A cheese manufacturer from Wisconsin once made the journey to the Schwartz farm just 4o see how things were done “in the Vid days.” Taken to Convention A wheel of the Schwartz cheese is usually taken to the state Democratic convention by local party members. Hie cheese sells for 56 to 60 cents a pound, depending upon the amount purchased. It is comparable in flavor to cheeses which sell for more than a dollar a pound. Some of the cheese was formerly sold in local grocery stores, but the demand far exceeded the supply. The cheesemilk, or whey, which is a by-product of the cheesemaking process is put to good use by the Schwartz family. It is fed to their pigs and chickens.
