TRAINING SCHOOL: Now, Officers, please remember officer’s training school is December 6 at 1 p.m. at the Decatur Community Center. We still have a few o’ the booklets which describe how some of the articles were made at theChristpias Igssoh. If anv of you want them, please contact the county extension PREPARING WILD GAME: Rabbit and game birds are welcome on the family table whenever hunters are lucky enough to bag them. But how game tastes on the table depends partly- on-how it is cared for between the shot and cooking pot, says Marcile Allen, Purdue University food specialist. Clean and cool game as soon as possible after killing. Keep it refrigerated. When cleaning wild rabbits wear rubber gloves to avoid the possibility of contracting rabbit fever. If time permits, allow game to age in a cool place at least 24

hours before cooking, the special-, ist recommends. Since both pheasant and wild duck have less fat and are usually less tender than domestic fowl, Miss Aller advises cooking them by a moist heat method. Use a covered roaster dr place strips of bacon or a fat soaked cheesecloth on the breasts. You can pan fry or broil young rabbit. Stew older rabbit or cook in a covered pan, Cook rabbit until well done. Misp Allen says you can freeze future use by wraping it as other meats in moisture-vapor proof containers. COOKING TIPS FOR VENISON: If your hunter comes home with venison don’t despair, you can cook it in the same ways you cook beef.' Depending on its tenderness, cook venison bv either of two general methods, advises Marcile Allen, Purdue University food specialist. For the fender cuts use dry heat methods, such as roasting, broiling or pan frying. For less tender cuts use moist heat methods, such as braising, stew-

ing and pot roasting. Grind some of tl¥e less tender meat far deerburgers and meat loaf. Because most venison has little fat, lay strips of bacon or beef suet across it when roasting, broiling or pan frying. Loin and rib sections give the best roast-s and steaks for broiling and pan-broiling. The chuck or rump are good for pot roasts and ground meat. The round will make good swiss steaks. Shank, neck and flanks can be used for stews and ground meat. Enjoy the distinct flavor of venison. Miss Allen recommends. But if you think the game flavor will be too strong, trim away the excess fat. You might also use a highly seasoned saiice, made with garlic, cnion, tomatoes, spices, of herbs, to mask the “gamey” flavor. » BE PROTEIN CONSCIOUS: "Many people aren’t as careful as they plight be about eating sufficient protein each day. A study, made by food scientists at several midwest agricultural agricultural experiment stations, shows that after 40 years of age the average woman consumes less than the “daily needed amount” of protein. Women between 40 and 59 years had diets 9 per cent below par in protein: women 60 tn 69, 18 per cent: and those 70 to 79 years old, about 12 per cent short. - Although protein needs must be assessed along with other nutritional requirements, it might be well if older women took another look at their daily protein intake. Foods important for protein include milk, cheese, eggs, meats poultry and fish. Others that can be counted on to give good -amounts are dry beans, peas, lentils and nuts. Although cereals provide smaller quantities of protein in a usual serving, their contributions can help out in meeting daily protein needs. Even though body growth is completed, older people still need protein for repair and upkeep of body, tissues, say nutritionists in the department of agricul“ turZ” ’Riis article is ffom the food and home notes of the U. S. department of agriculture, office of Information. AFRICAN VIOLETS UNDER FLOURESCENT LIGHTS: Wold you like to grow beautiful African violets? Then grow them;, under Iloresceht lights,' advises ' Don Scheer. Purdue University ex 7 tension horticulturist. Chances of having beautiful plants increase when you grow African violets under fluorscent lights, since you can control the amount of light exactly. The only aquipment you need . to get started is a reflector and two 40-watt flourescent tubes. Scheer Place your plants 12 inches from the tubes, and you’ll have an area four feet long by one and a half feet wide .for plant growing. Or better still, place the plants so the top of the leaves is about six inches from the tubes, and grow them in a row six inches wide underneath the light. The closer . spacing wjJLguc you a higher light intensity — and better”now» ering. > Keep your lights on from 16 to 18 hours a day. Lighting plants all day and all night isn’t as good as 16 to 18 hours. African violets thrive with fluorescent light. But remember, lights are an aid.to good growing;' nil a (substitute for proper violet care. "House Plants Under Artificial Light." Single copies are free to Indiana residents.

AMARYLLIS BLUBS: You can have giant exotic flowers in your home this winter, if you plant amaryllis bulbs now, says Purdue University extension horticulturists. Start with top quality bulbs. Chances are your garden center will have some of the newer hybrid types. They have gigantic, flowers and come in many different shades. While buying blubs, buy several, put up a bulb every couple of weeks and have bloom for several months. -Ramember that larger blubs generally produce larger flowers. The horticulturists recommend planting your bulbs in a mixture of one-half good top soil and Onehalf peat moss. Choose a pot one inch in diameter larger than the largest diameter of the bulb. Trim awav damaged roots before you plant and firm the soil well around the base of the bulb. The ~o nly ‘.‘tnsk" iSs to leavg.^ine : third OFTne bulb standing *above soil level. After you plant, water thoroughly. Avoid heat at first so you’ll get good root growth before the top growth starts. It takes about eight weeks from the time you planblub until it blooirus.

lowa Senior Calf Grand Champ Steer

CHICAGO (UPI) — Nearly 1.000 hogs vied sos the* 1 grand champion barrow blue ribbon at the 64th annual International Live Stock Exposition today and a share of “Real McCoy’s” glory. ’‘Real McCoy,” a 950-pound Herefore senior calf exhibited by John and Gary Minish, Clio, lowa, got a traditional rump slap Monday after winning top honors ’in' its own breed. A few minutes later, Prof. Herman Purdy of Penn State University made the most important slap of all — and “Real McCoy” reigned as grand champ inn steer. “Real McCoy” was scheduled for the auction block at 9 a.m. Thursday. The slap marked the sixth straight year that an exhibitor from lowa—better known for its hogs—has won the coveted steer ribbon. The barrow competition was among 155 Hampshires, 96 Yorkshires, 80 spotted swine, 71 Poland Chinas, 46 Durocs, 42 Chester Whites, 15 Berkshires, 80 mixed breeds,. 197 winners of the quality pork contest and 136 winners of the junior hog show. Last year $3,622.50 was paid for a* 230-pound cross-bred barrow shown by 1- Roy Kepnv. Davenport, lowa. It drew $15.75 a pound. The highest price ever paid for a grand champion barrow was $4,692 for a 204 - pound Hampshire barrow shown by Colleen Rae Callahan, Milford, c 111., in 1960. The lowest price was $302.50 paid in 1952 to Purdue University, Lafayette. Ind., which exhibited a Poland China barrow weighing 242 pounds. “Blackie,” an 840-pound Angus junior yearling exhibited by Ronald Strawson, 17, Wilmington, 111., took reserve grand champion steer honors after taking top breed honors. Anguses swept the champion ‘“group of three” competition with the entry of Lyle Miller, Osceola, lowa, taking top honors and a Sir William Farm of Hillsdale, N.Y., following up as . reserve group of three champion. “We won. . .We won.” shout- ” ed 20-year-oTd* Carole Minish Purdy tipped his hat and slapped “Real McCoy” which was being paced by Carole’s father and brother at the west end of the cavernous International Amphitheatre. ’’l don’t know just how we will celebrate. . .but we will

celebrate,” said the crying-for-joy senior at lowa State University at Ames. “Here’s my wife Marion. . . she deserves the credit,” beamed the senior Minish, 48, as he hugged wife and daughter beside him while flashbulbs popped. Gary, 23, a second year gradudate student at Michigan State University, who spent his undergraduate days at lowa State, took the victory calmly but revealed his quiet pride at the honor by saying, "We worked at it. . .we worked at —it—hard? 1 —“ Minish said “Real McCoy” was his first grand champion at the “big show” of live stock. He said he won the reserve grand championship “in 1954 or ’55. . .1 don’t recall which.” "Real McCoy’s grand champion win moved U.K. Silver, a Hereford summer yearling exhibited by the University of Kentucky, into the Hereford breed championship. It was Minish who bred the Kentucky entry before selling it to the university. The junior grand champion, a Summer yearling Shorthorn named “Willie,” exhibited by Chuck Shada, 14, Anamosa, lowa, swept its own breed classification Monday before losing out in the final selection. \ Caffee Bull Is Gold Medal Sire BRATTLEBORO, Vt. — Shady Meadow Shanghigh Ormsby, owned by Dale Caffee, Decatur, Indiana and Mark Stose & Sons, Celina, Ohio, has been designated a Gold Medal Sire — the highest recognition a Holstein herd bull can receive —by The Holstein- . Friesian Association of America. AdmittaiUe to the super-select Gold Medali Sire circle is limited to those Holstein bulls with daughters meeting exceptionally high standards of both milk production and body conformation. Shady Meadow Shanghigh Ormsby joined the Gold Medal ranks after being simultaneously named a Silver Medal Type Sire under the national Holstein organization’s new plan of daughter-dam comparisons for type and a Silver Medal Production Sire on the basis of similar comparisors of milking ability.

Edwin A. Walker praised his hometown Dallas newspapers Monday for their coverage of the presidential assassination but blasted all the rest. He said out-of-town papers made Dallas a "target of abuse.’’ The controversial general, once the victim of an unsuccessful assassination attempt him_self, was out of town the weekend President Kennedy and hjs accused assassin were shot. He returned to Dallas Monday. He said the first he heard of a state board of inquiry into the assassination was a report in the Communist newspaper, The Worker, Nov. 26. "I did not hear about such a court of inquiry from any other news media until the 29th,” he said. (The federal investigation, headed by Chief Justice Earl Warren, was announced Nov. 29 while the Texas inquiry was announced Nov. 26 by Atty. Gen. Waggoner Carr.) Walker said the good coverage of the assassination by Dailas papers “did riot extend to newspapers of other cities.” "Dallas, Texas, and the nation rebel at the thought of assassination. Anyone who knowingly projects or diverts the true image of accused assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, a Marxist Communist, betrays the spirit of Dallas, Texas, and the nation’s political system.” Walker, who resigned his Army commission to become a champion of “pro-blue” Americanism and ultra-conservative causes, was fired at by a sniper last spring as he worked on his income tax at his Dallas home. He was not hit. The sniper was never found. Walker would not comment on cancellation of a weekend speech at the Garden City Hotel in Garden City, N.Y. A hotel spokesman said Walker’s speech was canceled for “security reasons.” 1

Two Local Cows Exceed 100,000 Pounds Os Milk Two Adams county Holsteins have completed official milking records that bring their lifetime production totals to m o r e than 100,000 pounds of milk. A cow owned by Ben. and Lydia Gerke, of Decatur, Air View Naldessa Segis 3869147' (GP), has .. produced 100,590 pounds of milk and 3,503 pound? of butterfat in 2,686 days on official tests. Near Berne, Rolandes Liechty’s cow, Betty Burk Last Man 3944497 iVG), has produced 108,830 pounds of milk and 3,811 pounds of butterfat in 2,045 days on official test. To date, over 17,200 Holsteins have exceeded this outstanding production mark on official test. Many more have achieved similar goal,? in unofficial testing programs. This volume of production —representing approximately five times the lifetime total of the average dairy cow — can be attributed to the Registered Holstein’s unparalleled longevity coupled with recent advances in breeding, feeding, and management, the Holstein — Freisian Association of America States. Oppenheimer Name Restored To Honor WASHINGTON (UPI) — Ten years ago today President Dwight D. Eisenhower ordered that a “blank wall” be placed between scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer ahd secret nuclear data, pending a security review. Oppenheimer, who ultimately was declared a security risk by the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), has never acted to erase that label. • But Monday at the White House President Johnson presented the shy, soft-spoken nuclear physicist “with pleasure and pride” the AEC’s highest honor, the $50,000 Enrico Fermi Award,— : The ceremony climaxed efforts by the late “President Kennedy to restore Oppenheimer’s name to public honor in the light of tiie controversy surrounding the decision nearly a decade ago that declared him a security risk. When the AEC’s current general advisory committee, last spring unanimously recommended Oppenheimer for this year’s Fermi Award, Kennedy gladly approved. Johnson called this “one of President Kennedy’s most important acts” Monday. Among those present at the ceremony in the White House Cabinet Room was Dr. 1 Henry D. Smyth of Princeton, who cast the single dissenting vote in the AEC decision, of ■ 1954 which declared Oppenheimer a security risk. He said then that time would establish Oppenheimer’s loyalty. The citation and Johnson’s remarks paid tribute to Oppenheimer’s distinction as a theoretical physicist and teacher, and to tiie talents which made the pioneer atomic lab at Los Alamos a great institution. West Lafayette Man Is Crushed By Auto WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind.
