level, Dt. Barnes stated. . This method of teaching has merit as an aid in instruction, But will never replace the classroom teacher, Dr. Barnes stressed. TV instruction means fewer lessons for the teacher to prepare, gives unique visual effects, greater resource use, no grading, and no interruptions or discipline problems. But classroom teaching is a two-way system, with the teacher knowing the child personally, and able to answer questions, slow down or speed up teaching, etc. Dr. Barnes also showed a film on the topic. Lion President Dick Mies was in charge of the meeting. Scoutmaster Charles Stonestreet led the group in the pledge of allegiance, and Rev. A. C. Underwood gave the invocation. Guests at tli,e meeting included John McConaha, Ted Hill and Rev. Eugene Fekete. Brief talks on ping pong by E. W. Bumgerdner and West Virginia by Charles Stonestreet took the place of singing.

Auto Deaths Higher Again By United Press International Two car-train accidents which killed three women Monday pushed Indiana's 1963 traffic toll to be at least 931 today, compared with 853 one year ago. Two Union City women, Mrs. Cora Meeks, 58. and Donna Harless, 64, were killed when Mrs. Meeks drove their car into the path Os a New York Central Railroad passenger train two miles west of Union City. The train hit the car broadside while traveling about 75 miles an hour. The impact carried the car 350 feet along the tracks. Police said Mrs. Meeks apparently didn’t see the train at the unguarded crossing. Laura Helms, 32, Bloomfield, stopped at the automatic flashers in Bloomfield but failed to look in the direction of a train which was traveling abdut 25 miles an hour. She was killed when the car was hit broadside. Another woman motorist was killed when a truck made a turn in front of her car Monday. Nellie Jackson, 48, Rockport, was killed at the junction of U.S. 232 and Indiana 66 one mile east of Rockport. Ute driver of the truck, Charles Hudson, 27, Jasonville, was not held. Timothy John Bean, 13, Mishawaka, was killed Monday only about 100 yards from his home. He was returning home from his newspaper route when a car driven by Mrs. May Mann, 27, Mishawaka, struck him. At Indianapolis, Alfred C. Pfau, Jr., 20, Indianapolis, died Monday from injuries suffered Sept. 6 when his pickup truck and a car collided at a city street intersection.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Budget Bureau Port Report To Congress WASHINGTON (UPI) — A Budget Bureau report which Indiana officials consider a major step in their efforts to establish a public port on Lake Michigan was scheduled for presentation to Congress today. The report will recommend that Congress authorize both a public port and a national park in the Burns Ditch area of Porter Ccunty, Ind. The bureeu’s recommendation is a necessary preliminary step before Congress can authorize the projects or provide any funds for them. While Indiana officials greeted the news of the recommendation with joy Monday, Sen. Paul Douglas, 11-111., refused to consider it a setback in his effort to block the port and turn the entire area into a park. Douglas said conditions laid down by the bureau for federal financial participation in the construction of the port means there "will never be a federal harbor in Porter County.” He added that there is “a good chance there will be an 11,000acre park.” Douglas said he did not believe the conditions could be met. He said there was no evidence to substantiate claims that ”any substantial coal movement” would occur through the port in addition to coal used by the steel companies. The bureau’s conditions for federal participation in the port project included establishment of an integrated steel mill at the site with transshipment of 10 million tons of coal a year through the port or of two integrated steel mills with five million tons a year. Midwest Steel Co. already has a rolling mill in operation at Burns Ditch with plans for an integrated mill, including steel-making facilities, some time in the future. Bethlehem Steel Co. has ’ a multi-million dollar plant under construction with rolling mills scheduled to be in operation first. Integration of the mill is expected to take several years. The chief organized opposition to the port since its conception has been the Save the Dunes Council. Council president Mrs. James Buell said in Ogden Dunes Monday night the council agreed with the bureau’s recommendations concerning the park and interpreted the conditions placed on the port as being favorable. Mrs. Buell said the bureau’s requirement that firm commitm&its be made on the scope of steelmaking facilities to be built in the area and the prospect of coal shipments were and recognition of this council’s carefully documented calculations which prove that serious economic flaws exist in the army engineers’ benefit-cost figures.’’ ‘‘No such commitment or guarantees now exist, nor can they be envisioned in the foreseeable future," Mrs. Buell said. “To this extent, public funds remain exposed to unwarranted use.” K Os C Open House Planned Wednesday The Knights of Columbus will hold an open house Wednesday at 8 p.m. for members and guests. Elmer Wendell, Grand Knight, announced today. A special program is planned for those'who attend. Every member is asked to call up and bring his friends to see ‘‘what the guys will have cooking this time,” Wendell stated.

West Betters Reporting Technique By Practice

By DICK WEST United Press International WASHINGTON (UPD — It was in 1942 that I got my first job as a newspaper reporter, but I can remember it as clearly as if ii had happened in 1943. One day the city editor sent me out to interview a citizen who was celebrating his 89th birthday. And that almost wrecked my career before it even started. As everyone knows, when you interview an octogenarian you always ask him the secrecy pf his longevity. He replies that he owes his long life to the fact that he chewed tobacco, or chased after girls, or slept with his shoes on, or something equally scientific. But when I asked this old geezer how he had managed to live so long,, he crossed me up. -AT.' \ haven't the.faintest idea,” hp said: 1, t. . ...I Gets Off Easy That evening ,at sunset the paper , suspended my pastepot privileges ;for ;j| week. And I got off easy.. The maximum penalty for booting an assignment of that sort is being fed feet first through a web press. Sin.ce then, if I do say so my-l self, my reportorial technique has vastly improved. Earlier this month, for instance, I exclusively disclosed how Marlene Dietrich managers to keep looking so youthful. At a cocktail party In her honor, I discovered that Miss Dietrich grows younger Idoking by the drink. And now, heaping scoop upon scoop, I am prepared to reveal Cary Grant’s secret of eternal youth. i ' Grant was in the capital recently to help publicize a fund raising drive to aid children who are forced for economic reasons to drop out of school. A feature of the campaign will be a benefit preview of his latest piovie, called “Charade.” a Tours High School i In thp course pf t his visit, Grant and Atty. Gen, Robert F. 0 —0 20 Years Ago Today q— ~a Sept. 2'4, |943 — .Twenty Decat'w women answered a emergency call from the Adams county memorial hospital and spent an afternoon canning 132 quarts of peaches for use at the hospital. The appeal was issued after the hospital’s order for canned peaches could not be filled. Zackariah Merryman, 86, prominent retired farmer, died at his home in Monroe.* Miss Laurine Lengerich and Miss Barbara Augsburger, members of the nursing staff at the Adams county memorial hospital, have enlisted in the U. S. Army nurses’ corps and will report for duty Oct. 15. Merlin Eickenberry, of Geneva, has been hired as teacher and coach at the Monroe high school, succeeding Herman Neuenschwander, who resigned, to enter the U. S. Navy. William R. Barr, of Bluffton, former governor of Indiana Rotary clubs, was guest speaker at the weekly meeting of the Decatur Rotarians.

DIARY OF MYERS FLORIST “A Quaint Old Gift Shop” SEPT. 17— It's always exciting to unpack a shipment of giftware and compare what we received with what we ordered.

Gerig says we're getting lots of word of mouth advertising out of the planters at the Missionary Church. This, we appreciate. SEPT. 19— A shipment of giftware today included gold leaf tumblers, a glass tray with gold decorations, more novelty planters and wall plaques and trivets. SEPT. 20— Yesterday's shipment contained three 50th Anni- - versary plates and today we sold two of them. . Now that's really fast turnover. Two more Christmas card albums arrived today bringing the total to sixteen albums so far. SEPT. 21 -State Florist Convention and Trade Fair started today, but wedding work comes first so will miss this event. Our snack sets are in use nearly every weekend so if you plan to rent them, please let us know well in advance. SEPT. 23— Autumn begins today and our favorite season lasts until Dec. 22. Time to reorder candles, etc., for the coming season.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1963

Kennedy toured a junior high school where drop-outs have been a problem. He was somewhat surprised to find that the students were great fans of his. In their view, he was almost as “cool” as this week’s teen-age folk singer. Sensing that I had stumbled upon something big, I asked my own 13-year-old daughter if she had ever heard of Cary Grant. She almost blew a fuse at the mention of his name. “But Cary Grant was my dreamboat when I was her age,” my wife said. “How can this be?” It’s simple, really. Modern science ha!s turned the fabled fountain of youth into an actuality. Better known as “old movies on television,” _ .1 Flu Shots Urged For Chronic 111 r TIWAWAPOT?TS (UPI) — State Health Commissioner Andrew C. Oirutt today urged Hoosiers who suffer from “chronic debilitating diseases” to consider immunization against influenza. The arrival of cooler weather brought from Dr. Offutt a statement that no widespread outbreaks of flu are anticipated this season but “sporadic localized outbreaks” may occur. Offutt said persons in a socalled “high risk” category who have certain ailments should consult their physicians about flu immunization. Those in the high risk group, he said, are patients with rehumatic heart disease, arteriosclen otic heart disease and hypertension, chronic bronchopulmonary disease such a chronic asthma, chronic bronchitis, brochiectasis, pulmonary fibrosis, emphysema ci tuberculosis: and persons with diabetes mellitus or Addison’s disease. Pregnant women and persons 45 or older also should consider immunization, Offutt said. Offutt said immunization should begin as soon as possible and • should bq completed.’ midDecember. • • Offutt said certain groups of the population are in danger of acquiring flu in its most severe form during years between epidemics. “The risk of death is markedly higher,” he said. Boys Who Eat Swan Destroy 'National Asset 1 ODAWARA, Japan (UPD — Two young laborers were on trial today for “destruction of a national asset,” and faced a possible one-year jail term for eating a prize swan from a lake in Hakone National Park. Nobuyoshi Otsuka, 21, and Tomokazu Watanabel, 20, said they barbecued the swan after strangling it because they were hungry. Knitting for Beginners Starting Sept. 30th Phone 3-9655
