State monuments and memorials are areas usually limited in. size, established primarily to preserve objects of historic and scientific interest, and places commemorating important persons or historic events. The only facilities visually provided are those required for the safety and comfort of the visitors, and do not include camping, roorping, -swimming, etc. The Indiana state park system was established in 1916, and the state -memorial program has develooed from it. There has been considerable interest, at various, times, for a state park is southern Adams county which would include perhaps a lake and Limberlost swamp areas/ simlar to the privately developed swamp-life area in Alams county, but for public, state-wide use. Improvements Made During this past year, a new sawed cedar shingle roof was applied to the Limberlost cabin. The logs were staired and trim painted. New porch floors were laid, and miscellaneous repairs made, including rebuilding the chimneys. A new stoker was installed. The rustic highway sign wa> repaired. stained and re-erected. In June, personnel from the engineering division begin a survey of state parks and memorials to determine the need for repair, rehablitation, and construction, which will be financed by the reef nt one cent a pack, increase in th-.- cigarette tax.

Pope’s Pilgrimage Seen Shrewd Move

VATICAN CITY (UPD— Pope " Paul Vi’s planned pilgrimage to the Holy Land next month is a “shrewd and forceful move” to help Christian unity and ease political and religious problems — in the area, a high Vatican sburce said today. Leaders of other faiths welcomed the Pope’s journey and there was speculation that the historic trip might be followed by others, possibly including a visit to the United States. The Vatican source said the pilgrimage is certain to please the Orthodox Christians and could be a . key move in the. drive to bring them back into the Roman Catholic Church. The source said the pilgrimage, although primarily religious, could play an important role in solving other problems. • ", “Extract Political Sting” For one thing, the source said, by visiting the Arab nation of Jordan, the Pope could “extract the political sting” from an Ecumenical Council document that says there is no Biblical basis for anti-Semitism. Another possible result could be to help settle the arguments over the rights of various religious groups to the holy places. It might also serve to help ease the frontier situation between Israel and Jordan, or at least push them towards making it easier to cross the frontier. Because of present tension, the border can be crossed only for 24 hours on Christmas. Other Vatican sources stressed the religious motivation for the trip. They said the pontiff wanted to go to the land where Christianity originated as a matter of personal devotion and to implore heavenly guidance for himself and the council. The pontiff surprised the 2,150 council fathers at their closing session for 1963 Wednesday when he announced his plans for the trip. The two or three day trip will set a number of precedents. It will be: First Holy Land Trip —The first journey to the Holy Land by a Pope since St. Peter, who is acclaimed by Roman Catholics as the first Pope, left, Palestine in 64 A.D. —The longest journey bvqr made by a reigning pontiff: —The first papal trip by plane. —The first time a Pope has visited, a predominantly nonChristian nation: Musslem Jordan and Jewish Israel now share the Holy Land’s shrines. —The first time a Pope has left Italy in 151 years, .the last time being the forced departure of Pope Pius VII to France on Napoleon’s orders in 1812. First reactions from Protestant and Orthodix circles here _ indicated the trip may also, improve inter-faith relations. This is the first step toward the goal of Christian unity, pursued both by Paul and his predecessor, Pope John XXIII. Hopeful Os U. S. Visit American Catholic leaders were reported hopeful that the Pope will come to the United States* which with its 45 million Catholics has the second largest Catholic population in the

world. But Vatican sources said that ie Pope Paul makes any more trips outside Italy, they probably would be made to Catholic shrines such as Fatima in Portugal or Lourdes in France. A papal visit to the New York World’s Fair next year was “possible but highly unlikely,” the sources said. No date for the Holy Land trip has been announced, but one Vatican source said it might by Jan. 8, two days after the Feast of the Epiphany, which commemorates the journey of the three wise men to Bethlehem.

Smith Offers Civil Rights Bill Hearing WASHINGTON (UPD — Rep. Howard W. Smith, D-Va., today offered to start House hearings “reasonably soon in January” on stalled civil rights legislation. Smith’s proposal to conduct hearings by his House Rules Committee was the first time the veteran Virginia Democrat had given any sign of willingness to start the bin on the way to House action. The bill, designed to eliminate racial discrimination in voting, education, employment, public accommodations and the use of public funds, has been before Smith’s committee for two weeks. In an effort to get things moving, House Democratic leaders, with the backing of President Johnson, put into motion machinery to bypass the Rules . Commitete and push the bill to the floor early in January. . While this move—via a discharge petition — appeared to lack any significant prospects of success, it apparentlycaused Smith to arrange hearings. In a statement issued by his office, £mith pointed out that he received the final section of the House Judiciary Committee report on the bill only Wednesday. This was taken as an answer to charges that the Rules Committee was blocking the bill, It was not known immediately whether Smith’s offer to start hearings in January, after Congress returns for its second session, would be acceptable to House leaders and civil rights supporters.;. y-

Youth For Christ Rally On Saturday Adams county area Youth for Christ will hold their monthly rally at Decatur Church of God Saturday beginning at 7:30 p.m. Featuring in this rally will be the showing of the film “Big Blast.” This film is a 60-minute film in color, and is produced by Youth Films of Muskegon, Mich. The film “Big Blast” was produced on location in cooperation with the United States department of defense and the U. S. Air Force. When Air Force Captain Bob Emoty returns home he finds not only the assignment of testing the high speed jet interceptor, the FlO6, in his line of duty, but also the more important task of breaking the barrier which has grown between himself and his younger brother, Jeff. All of the exciting action of Air Force activity plus the breathtak-ing-suspense and grandeur of hazardous ski-jumping competition on the slopes of Mount Rainier make this full color feature a classic in presenting the Christian message through the medium of dramatic motion pictures. Other feautres of this rally will bespecial music by teens, testimonies, and inspirational singing. Hospital Admitted Mrs. Kathryn Jessen, Paul Daniels, Mrs. Francis Uleman, Mns. Joe Schaadt, Mrs. Robert Gerber, and Mrs. Vernon Hurst, Decatur. Dismissed Masters Philip and Edward Bentz, Suellen Bentz, Berne; Master Henry Hilty, Monroe; Mrs. Daisie Rhoades, Francis Shell, Mrs. Robert Mitchel and baby boy, Decatur.
