But when another young lady wins a scholarship, or a Boy Scout does his regular daily good deed,, their actions are little heeded by the general public. Which event is more important —a fouryear scholarship to a university, which will mean a life of ease, reward, responsibility, and creative use —or the winning of a sectional tournament? Yet which gets the most attention from the general public? Every day 99% of our youth do a fine job. Young boys and girls, helping to support their families while family members are sick, report to their jobs unnoticed by society. Optimist International, a service club dedicated to helping the youth of America, and headed locally by Tom Sefton, mortician with Gillig & Doan has launched a program to give credit to the younger generation’s juvenile decency standard bearers. Known as Youth Appreciation Week, the program is held annually in November. This year it will be held this week, Nov. 11-17. During this week Optimist International’s 2,100 clubs sponsor such programsas_youth in government days, outstanding student awards, scholarship awards, and youth in industry days. These programs are designed to show high school age youth that others are interested in their hopes, dreams, and future. During this week Optimists also attempt to balance the publicity scales by pointing out that 95% of today’s youth are high calibre youngsters. Optimist club members need your support during Youth Appreciation Week in Decatur in order to fulfill our youngsters’ need for appreciation and to create a true and favorable image for our » youth. Do your share, give those youths who deserve it a pat on the back. The reward for your time and effort? A new respect for our teenagers and the knowledge that the responsibility for a promising future will be placed in their capable hands. Decatur’s Optimist club is relatively young, compared to the other service clubs in Decatur, it has already proved itself in sparking the drive to found the Wildcat League, and in many other useful services to yputh.

SPECIAL WASHINGTON REPORT

JOB TRAINEES FIND NEW WORK By U.S. Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy (D. r Minn.)

The Manpower Development and Training Act is proving its worth in combating one of the basic causes of long-range unem-

ployment, and in encouraging sound manpower planning based on research. In 1959, the Senate Special Committee on Unemployment Problems, of which I was chairman, recommended "institution of a nationwide vocational training program through federal grants in aid to the states, including specialized courses for youths who have dropped out of school and for older workers who require retraining.” Passage of the Training Act in 1962 was a beginning toward meeting the needs identified in our

committee study. " &>9«n. J. McC«nh» By October 30 more than 2,107 training

projects for over 83,700 unemployed and underemployed persons had been approved since August 1962. As of October 15, 52,000 trainees had begun or completed training. " Approximately 31,000 are presently being scheduled for courses. Os the 15,000 workers who had completed courses by September, 70 percent have been placed in jobs almost wholly or predominantly related to their training. In addition, experimental and demonstration projects have been approved to service 31,000 individuals. These projects are aimed at developing new methods of reaching the hard-core unemployed. They are djrectly concerned with the jobless in bigcity slums, the older worker, the emotionally handicapped, the educationally deficient, the dropout, minority groups and other disadvantaged workers in the labor force. Data compiled so far shows that MDTA programs are focused on meeting the needs of primary wage earners. Over 75 percent of the men and 40 percent of the women enrolled in courses under the Act are heads of families or households. Os those who have completed training, 75 percent of the men have been placed in jobs as compared to about 60 percent of the women. Almost half the trainees have

scored knockouts over Zora Folley and Charles. Bobbie was arraigned Sunday in Queens Criminal Court, where she will have a hearing Thursday. / Indianapolis Livestock INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Livestock: Bogs 5.100: barrows and gilts strong to mostly 25 Higher; barrows and gilts 1-2, 190-225 lb 15.75-16.00; 86 head 16.25: 1. 2 and 3. 190-250 lb 1525-15 75; sows 1, 2 and 3 . 300-400 lb 13.2514.00; 2 and. 3 . 400-550 lb 12.7513.25. —Cattlc 2,500, . calveK 75; choice - steers 25-50 higher; other grades mostly 25 higher; heifers strong to 25 higher; choice steers 23.5024.25; load high choice and prime 25.00; mixed good and choice 23 25-23 75: good 22.0023.25; heifers high choice and prime 23 75: choice 22.50-23.00; mixed good and choice 22.0022.50; cows steady: utility and commercial 12.50-14.00; bulls . steady;* 'cutter and commercial bulls 16.00-18.50; Jew high yielding utility 19.00; vealers steady; good and choice 27.00-32.00.

This is twice th.e proportion of long-term unemployed found among the Nation’s jobless totals. , Much of the training is being . provided to individuals with i limited educational attainment, r Approximately 40 percent of the r trainees have not completed high school.

Congress In Recess For Veterans Day

WASHINGTON (UPI) — Congress took its Veterans Day recess today with final action on civil rights and a tax cut still far away but with administration leaders talking about other legislative achievements. Democratic leaders are not feeling especially unhappy at the way things have been going, although they know that neither of the two priority items—an sll billion tax cut and civil rights bill—will get through the Senate this year. —- However, Congress runs for two years and both measures will go over to the second session, starting in January. Senate Republican Leader Everett M. Dirksen, 111., said Sunday he definitely thought “a reasonably good” civil rights bill would be enacted next year. “Fruitless Congress” Dirksen said in a television interview with Rep. Harold C. Ostertag, R-N.Y., that it had been a “rather fruitless ConCharges Are Filed Following Accidents A Decatur resident was released from the Adams county jail this morning after he was taken into custody Sunday evening following a two-car accident. Lyman Eldo Courtney, 43, of 326 N. Eighth St., was charged with driving while under the influence. He was released from jail this morning when he posted S2OO bond, and was slated to appear in city court Tuesday morning. City court was not held this morning due to the Veterans Day holiday. The accident occurred at 6:15 p. m. Sunday, a mile south and a mile and a half east of Decatur, on county road 29, near the drive-in theater. Courtney was northbound on the county road and sideswiped a southbound auto operated by Merlin Owen Wolfe, 23, of route 3, Decatur. Damage to the autos was estimated at SSO each. Berne Youth Charged Two cars were damaged and a Berne driver was arrested after another two-car accident at the intersection of state road 124 and U. S. 27, at 4:10 p. m. Sunday. Lynn Jay Augsburger, 16, of Berne, was charged with making ah improper turn after he turned in front of a car operated by Martha J. Chilcote, 40, of Berne. Augsburger was northbound on 27 and was attempting a left turn onto the state road, when he turned into the path of the southbound Chilcote vehicle. Damages were estimated at S3OO to each of the two cars, and Augsburger was cited into Berne justice of the peace court at a later date. The state police and sheriff’s department investigated both mishaps. Three Patrols Win First Place Awards Three patrols from troop 66, sponsored by the First Baptist church, captured first place awards at the Boy Scout camporee at Bluffton the past weekend.

gress in many respects.” He blamed this primarily on the controversial nature of much of the proposed legislation. Democratic leaders are quick to point out, some achievements of Congress this year. Safely passed and signed into law are two bills putting the government in a big way into the mental health fight. Under one of these bills, up to $329 million could be spent over four years for construction of community out-patient hospital centers. The aim istohold down commitments to state asylums, which sometimes have been subject to easy confusion with jails. The companion bill authorizes outlays of up to $355 million over five to seven years to combat mental retardation in infants. Now in the wrapup stage, and sure of enactment, is a $1.2 billion college aid bill, a genuine breakthrough in this field. The money will go into loans and grants to colleges public and private, including those that are church-related. Small Bills But big ones have been mixed in with the small. Servicemen got a pay raise at a cost of $1.2 billion a year. The draft law was continued four years. A new law was passed assuring equal pay for women who do the same work as men. Nobody has figured yet how to solve the farm surplus problem. Pending that, the first session of the 88th Congress kept alive for two years a temporary program of payments to farmers who hold down production of corn. Appropriations bills this year have come even slower than usual, but when the adjournment gavels have fallen the way will no doubt have been cleared for government spending of close to SIOO billion in the current 12 months. And to stave off any bouncing of Uncle Sam’s checks, the legal ceiling on the national debt will have been lifted not once but three times during the year, to a record $315 billion. Whether all that activity and lack of it warrants a raise for U.S. lawmakers is currently being debated. They get $22,500 now and are listening eagerly to pleas of underlings and advisers that they boost this to $32,500. Mrs. Fannie Hales Is Taken By Death Mrs. Fannie Augsburger-Hales, 90, a retired practical nurse, died at 2;50 p. m. Sunday at the Lehman nursing home in Berne. She had been ill since July and bedfast for the past two months. Born in French township May 23, 1873, she was a daughter of the Rev. Christian and Barbara Liechty-Augsburger. She was married in July, 1922, to John Hales. He preceded her in death in 1937. Mrs. Hales was a member of the. Pike American Mennonite church at Elida, O. Only near survivor is a brothei, John C. Augsburger, of Berne route 1, where she had made her home for the, past 13 years. Funeral rites will be held at 2 p. m. Tuesday at the Yager funeral home in Berne, the Rev. L. G Minsterman officiating. Burial will be in the Evangelical Mennonite cemetery, west of Berne. Friends may call at the funeral home after 4 p. m. today.
