Yes, we have police who have the duty of arresting and charging those whom they catch violating serious crimes, where danger to life and limb is involved. But there are many lesser laws which absolutely cannot be enforced without the whole-hearted cooperation of the citizens. A good example is reckless driving. Hundreds of violations involving reckless driving occur in this area each year. Only rarely can a policeman be standing by, and see it. A policeman cannot arrest a man for reckless driving unless he sees it, or unless the witness is willing to sign an affidavit. The witness then goes to the prosecuting attorney. If the witness, and preferably more than one, can satisfy the prosecutor that they can give legally valid testimony in court, the prosecutor can, and will, file an affidavit. And we are very lucky here. Our procecutor, Severin H. Schurger has shown that, if convinced he can present a reasonable case, he will issue the warrant for arrest. This is a matter of judgment by him; the witnesses must convince Cl '• him that they will present a good case. Naturally, if the prosecutor feels that the witnesses are merely bringing the case to embarrass the person charged, he will reject it. Or if he feels that the witnesses will not be able to identify the individual driving, or commiting the crime (just seeing the license isn’t enough), he will not want to go to the expense of a trial when a conviction would be impossible. It is a very good thing when citizens of a community are so interested in the impartial enforcement of the law, in protecting their homes, yards, and streets, that they are willing to testify. It is one of the main bases of Democracy. If we fail to stand up for the right,, we cannot expect those whom we hire to do so. Sometimes this means chastising those whom we love — our own children or relatives. But right- is right, and law is law. You do not help an errant youth when you try to “fix” scrapes for him. You help him much more when you make it clear that you will also see that he helps pay the penalty and cleanse his good name of shame. Another thing — never presume’ a man guilty when he is charged. It must be proted in court. We ask that a speedy trial (speedy within the rights of accused to prepare a defense) be granted, but we also ask that no one assume anyone guilty until the offense is proved. - .

Document Is Given Preliminary O.K*

VATICAN CITY (UPI) — The Ecumenical Council gave “nearly unanimous” preliminary approval today to a document that could mark a great step toward Christian unity*. During a three-hour session, about 2,300 Roman Catholic prelates ruled that the proposal “de ecclesia’’—about the church—was fit for further debate. Authoritative sources said the council “will now begin a point-by-point discussion.” The Latin debate may go on for weeks before there is a final vote. The document goes a long way towards espousing the cherished Protestant doctrine of “the priesthood of all believers.” There was no immediate official communique or press briefing. Official details of today’s sesChurches Send Noodle Machines To Aid Algerians NEW YORK, N. Y. Sept. 30 - Two small machines weighing a few hundred pounds and simple to operate will soon be producing more than seven million meals of fortified noodles annually to supplement the diet of Algerians engaged in a vast reforestation project. This was announced today in the offices of Church World Service, overseas relief agency ‘of U. S. Protestant and Eastern Othodox denominations and a department of the National Council of Churches. Made in Brooklyn, the noodle machines are now in transit to Philippeville and Algiers areas where 15,500 Algerians are employed by the Christian Com mi tee for Service in Algeria (CCSA) in a food-f o r-work program to revitalize the eroded earth of the region, and alleviate mass unemployment. Plant Trees In 28 selected sites, 21 million Aleppo pines, eucalyptus and fruit trees are being planted on 53,000 acres of barren land. During the seven years of civil war many wooded areas were destroyed. Jan Van Hoogstraten, Church World Service Director for Africa, prior to his recent departure for Algeria, revealed that plans have been made for planting an additional 50 million trees.

“When the expanded program gets under way,” he said, “about 42,750 Algerians will be employed 26 days each month. Reclamation of land is basic for the growth of this new nation and the self-suf-ficiency of its people.” Workers on the reforestation project currently receive one meal a day at lunch time consisting of soup, fish or meat. Once the noodle machines from America are installed, noodles made with fortified flour will be added to the meals, increasing the nutrient value. From SOS Program Flour used in making the noodles will be supplied from the SOS (Share Our Substance) Program of the Protestant churches, through which more than 10 million of the world's hungry annually receive life-sustaining foods made available from U. S. Government commodities. During the past year, almost a half-billion pounds of these foods were distributed through the SOS program to men, women and children in 35 areas of acute need. Funds to support the program are contributed in a special SOS appeal made during the Thanksgiving season. Algenians engaged in the reforestation project receive -r- in addition to the on-site meal — rations to take home to their families consisting of dried skim milk, edible oils, flour and other foods. Machines From CROP The $5,055 cost of the noodle machines is being met by CROP, the Christian Rural Overseas Program of Church World Service. SOS foods, used increasingly in the food-for-work projects in many parts of the world, are provided not only for nourishmment but to help needy peoples attain self-suffici-ency, self respect and dignity. The reforestation project, and other programs to aid Algerians in which U. S. denominations participate, are supported by Christians in many, countries. The use of American surplus wheat for noodles was vividly seen last year by Dick Heller, Jr., Decatur newspaper editor, and Adams county CROP publicity chairman, when he visited Hong Kong and Macao. A Catholic priest discovered that orientals, not used to bread, would readily use surplus grain converted into noodles. This has now been" widely used throughout the world Ih American-sponsored relief programs of all faiths. Adams county is a large contributor to the Indiana CROP programs.

sion probably will be given out later in the afternoon. The first working session of the council Monday made it clear, official informants said, that the draft enjoyed predominant support, especially from the "liberals” who are bent on a farreaching renewal of the church to help make Christian unity possible. The long “De Ecclesia” document includes sections on the nature of the church, the powers of bishops and their relationship to the Pope in the government of the church, and the role of laymen in Catholic life. An authoritative source said the draft Stresses what there is in common, rather than the differences, between the Pope and other bishops, between ordained clergymen and laymen, and between Catholic and non-Catholic Christians. The Ecumenical Council press office announced the preliminary approval of the draft. It said there were 2,301 voters, of which 2,231 voted for the schema, 43 against, and 27 votes were annulled. A spokesman said the needed majority was 50 per cent plus one of the voting fathers, which was far exceeded. The question, he said, was put to the fathers this way: “Do you like this schema as a whole in order to proceed to the discussion of the single chapters?” During the morning session, some 10 council fathers spoke on die general outline of the draft before the vote and afterwards the opening speaker was Ernesto Cardinal Ruffini, archbishop of Palermo, Sicily. Vatican sources said that Pope Paul VI watched today’s meeting on closed circuit television from his private library—as the late Pope John XXIII did during the first session of the council last year. Both the pontiffs apparently felt that their personal attendance at the debating sessions might influence the fathers. During Monday’s opening working meeting of the second session Pope Paul had scheduled a series of audiences and did not have time to watch the meeting on television, these sources said.

(UPD-* Dr. Karl O’Lessker, aide to Governor Welsh on reapportionment during the 1963 General Assembly, Monday said federal intervention is uncalled for In reapportlonment, which he said is strictly a state affair. He said those who support federal intervention in reapportionment “lend further support to the proposition that all major political and social problems are best solved in Washington.” , “This view, carried to its logical conclusion, must lead to the final destruction of our federal system oi government," he said at a Noblesville Rotary Club meeting. O’Lessker, chairman of the political science department at Wabash College, was on leave much ol last year and this to help legislators solve reapportionment. He was critical of the legislatures which have “neglected or refused to obey a clear constitutional mandate for 36 years.” This, he said, is “unquestionably deplorable.” But, he added, “remedies do exist for failure of state officials to obey their own state constitutions.” v “The most effective of these." O’Lessker said, “lies in a responsible citizenry using the power of.

You’ll find your answer in this column, which is published each Saturday. 1. Q —For two years I have been receiving retirement benefits, checks because I started back to In January, 1963, I stopped my work again. I had only intended to work through the month of September. Now my employer wants me to work the rest of the year. If I do, my earnings ’’this year will be higher than some of my previous years’ earnings before my retirement. Would this additional employment increase my present benefit? A—Yes, it is possible that your additional earnings would increase the retirement benefit you were receiving. When you stop work, take your W-2 form to your social security office and ask them to refigure your benefit. If the additional earnings would increase your benefit, you will be given credit and a higher benefit amount could be paid to you on the basis of this additional ..employment. 2. Q—l am chairman of the program committee of an organization. This year we are interested in having a program about the social security. Where can I get material for this meeting? A—Your local social security office will be glad to plan a program for your organization. They will furnish a speaker, movie and informational booklets upon request. There is no charge for this service and they welcome an opportunity to furnish this information. Get in touch with your local social security office and make arrangements with them about putting on a program for your group. 3. Q— I have always worked part time and never earned over SI2OO in any year. I’ve been getting retirement benefits for about two years. This year. 11l be required to work more due to illness of another employee. "I figure I’ll earn about SI6OO this year. Would these additiorial earnings increase the amount of the social security benefit I have been receiving? A—Yes, it’s possible that these additional earnings may increase your benefit amount.

Urges Study Os Power Os School Boards CORY, Ind. (UPD-Sen. Kenneth Reagin, D-Cory, said Monday he wants a study conducted of laws governing school . boards, which he said, in somle cakes, have grown too powerful. “The school dispute at Coalmont has uncovered many dangerous practices being carried on by some school boards,” Reagin said. Reagin’s district includes Clay County, where a feud between parents and the Shakamak School Board has closed the Coalmont High School. He pointed out his request for an investigation by the state Legislative Advisory Commission would not be confined to Clay County. Reagin said complaints have been made against school boards across the state. “This is a case where 4 or 5 per cent of the school boards in the state are exercising their complete authority and control above what the General Assembly ever intended,” he said. “If this is so, the General Assembly should remedy the situation by making proper changes in school laws.” He said there were strong indications the Shakamak board “shuffled the schools’ attendance districts.” Reagin said this was done “more for the purpose of creating public support for a new central building and to bring pressure against local citizens to drop pending court litigations against the corporation than for the purpose of offering a better course of studies.” He said other complaints concerned maintenance and repair of

High Court Refuses Cold Beer Ruling INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The Indiana Supreme Court sent back to a lower court Monday a suit to prevent the state from permitting package stores to sell cold beer. i. The high court refused to dismiss the suit, in effect. The court held the suit, filed against the Indiana Alcoholic Beverage Commission by Seymour tavern owner Frank King, should be tried in a lower court and then. brought before the Supreme Court on an appeal. Deputy Atty. Gen. John Hirschman had asked the high court to prohibit Marion Superior Court Judge Frank Symmes from exercising jurisdiction in the case. Symmes refused last week to to grant Hirschman’s motion for dismissal of the suit. The high court held an informal conference Monday and in brief arguments, Hirschman contended the matter of jurisdiction had been settled by the Indiana Appellate Court in a similar case two years ago. In the 1961 case, which the Supreme Court refused to review, the Appellate Court held that the ABC had the power to refuse to permit cold beer by package stores and the courts had no jurisdiction in the master. He also maintained the state law expressly prohibited holders of liquor permits from asking the courts to overrule ABC regulations. In answer to a question from Judge Norman Arterburn, Hirschman conceded the constitutionality of the law was open to question. John McNutt, one of two attorneys, representing King and Symmes, argued cold beer sales by package stores are specifically prohibited by state law and the ABC has no power to issue regulations contrary to the law. Attorney Joseph Quill said if the ABC could authorize cold beer sales without any questioning by the courts it also could authorize Sunday liquor sales in defiance of state law. While Hirschman argued King was asking the lower court to exercise the functions of the ABC, Quill maintained the commission was operating outside the authority given to it by the legislature. Following a five-minute consultation, Chief Justice Walter Myers told Hirschman “We feel that this is a matter to be handled through gn appeal.” The next step in the' ease presumably would be for the ABC to file an answer to King's complaint and request for a permanent injunction and for Symmes to set a date for trial of the case, schools and “a serious lack of respect and understanding of the citizens the school boards represent.” Reagin said one complaint concerned a school board’s sale of a building on which civil townships still were paying bonds. Aiiother centered on a requirement l that pupils purchase gymnasium and musical equipment from specific business establishments “or be penalized from taking part in those activities,” he said. Monday night, Clay County School Supt. Paul Scamihorn approved the transfer of'9tf tews**'’ Twp. students from the Shakamak School District to schools in Clay City and Linton. He held the hearing at Brazil. The Shakamak board can now appeal the decision to the State Central Commission on Education. Board president Mrs. Odema Rotman said the board would study each case individually before deciding which if any to appeal. if you have something to sell or trade — use the Democrat Want ads — they get BIG results.
