Welsh Denies • ~L - Taxes Slow Development FORT WAYNE. Ind. (UPD— Governor Welsh denied Thursday night that Indiana is “taxing itself out of the industrial development field.” Speaking at an industrial de-, velopment seminar sponsored by Radio Station WOWO, Welsh said a survey of top industrial firms showed a preference for Great Lakes states in locating new plants and that Indiana headed the list of those states. Welsh told the 400 persons attending the seminar at Concordia College that Indiana has "one of the least expensive structures for industry in the United States.” - -■ One aspect of the Indiana tax structure came under attack from another member of the panel. President Dallas Sells of the Indiana AFL-CIO reiterated his belief that the 2 per cent sales tax enacted by the 1963 Legislature is unconstitutional. Sells led the fight against the tax which the Indiana Supreme Court upheld in a ruling handed down in October. “How we raised the needed money for the state is equally as important as how much we raise," Sells said. Much of the discussion centered on the possibility that the United States might suddenly find itself at peace with a resulting decrease in defense 'spending. Dr. Albert Lazure, economic utilization director for the Department of Defense, said in such a case, Indiana would find itself in “comparatively good shape” because of the present lack of defense contracts in the state. Dr. Robert Watson, president of the industrial division of International Telephone and Telegraph Laboratories, said his firm already is considering such a possibility and is attempting to maintain a well-balanced production schedule for this reason. “We equid adjust to the change because of our many ccmmercial contracts which would support us,” said Watson who substituted for Sen. Vance Hartke. P-ind Pressure-of Senate business kegt. Hartke in Washington. Dr. Robert Turner of Indiana University denied that the Midwest is declining industrially. He said it was “only a relative decline” because previously needy states were quickly developing and at a faster rate than the Midwest is presently growing. He conceded that there is a technological lag in the MidWest because of a change in the pattern of demand from hard gbods to services. President Frederick Hovde of Purdue University complained that the bulk of defense contracts appeared to be going to California, Massachusetts and Texas. He said brainpower is being developed in the Mrawest but- “winds up on the East or West Coast.” Butler U. Debate Tourney Saturday INDIANAPOLIS < UPH — Twenty-nine colleges and universifies from six states will participate in the 11th annual Butler University debate tourney Saturday on the topic, "Resolved that the ' federal government should guarantee an opportunity for a higher education to all qualified high school graduates."

Jury Report Monday On Coliseum Blasi ' INDIANAPOLIS “(UPD — A Marion County grand jury which has Been investigating the Halloween explosion which killed 72 persons at the Indiana State Fairgrounds will hand down a report next Monday. The jury wound up its heargins Thursday with testimony by Dr. Harry Solberg, associate dean of the School Os engineering at Purdue University. Solberg headed a team of Purdue scientists who examined five liquid petroleum gas tanks taken from the explosion scene. ProSeqptor Noble Pearcy praised Solberg for his lucid explanation of the highly technical report and said the jury was “very impressed” with the thoroughness of the tests. The report, made public, Wednesday, said the tanks were free of leaks but indicated that subjection of one ormore of them to high temperatures, perhaps while overfilled, contributed to the blast. The Purdue investigators also examined and reported on three radiant gas heaters and other equipment removed from the Coliseum concession commissary in a windowless area beneath the seats which were ripped by the explosion during the closing minutes of an ice show.

Devotional Reading: II Corinthians 12:510. EVEN THE most conceited person is not satisfied with his own opinion of himself. We all like tp be liked. There is nothing wrong about praise, nothing wrong about the pleasure there is in being praised. A danger lurks here,

to be sure. It is all too easy to take flattery for sincere commendation. It is easy to forget that, for the most part, “praise is like perfumery, meant to be smelt, not to be swallowed.” Nevertheless it is

■l9 Dr. Foreman

disheartening to work hard without a word of praise—to give the best one has to a piece of work only to find that nobody cares about it one way or the other. At this point we should ask ourselves: Am I making life’s burden heavier for some one just by keeping my mouth shut? Am I too tight about • saying a good word for others? Could a word from me be the very thing to keep someone out of despair? Commanding myself Nobody loves a braggart. Great and good men have sometimes been called on to defend what they have done, and so in simply recounting what they have been doing and accomplishing, they may ,give the impression of bragJ'ing, Even Jesus and Paul ran ntp this. Jesus made it quite clear that he did not mean to praise himself, and so it was with Paul. The Apostle mixes with his own story, as he told it, a good many apologies for sounding like a boaster. He leaned over backwards to keep from commending himself. It is easy to see why I am not the best judge of my own actions. I am always prejudiced in my own favor—that is an almost universal human weakness. So my good opinion of myself doesn’t count. True, I have to live witn myself, and I do need a good conscience (and Paul expressed this at various times); but if the only good opinion of me is my own, I’d better stop and think about myself all over again. Praise from others Consider the important part played by praise, sincere commendation, in the lives of most people. Little children hear it from their mothers and are the better for it. They learn to walk and talk because some one gives them a smile and a “big hand” for those first little efforts at toddling or prattling. Children at school like to come home with a good report card. They may be much more interested in what mom or dad think of that card than in what the teacher thought. A good home, it has been said, is a mutual admiration society. Especially, falling in love brings this out. The praise of the loved one is exaggerated; each may love the other for qualities that aren’t really there. Yet love is such a miracle worker that the praise of a loved one may bring out qualities and graces which, without that praise, might never have been awakened. Recommended by God You won’t get any argument on the proposition: The commendation of God himself is more than worth all that a man can say of himself or his friends can say about nim. Where the argument starts, is on how we can know it is God’s commendation. Again Jesus and his disciple Paul have much the same answer. By their fruits you shall know them, said Jesus. God does not, have to send down a horticultural angel to (ack a label on a tree: THIS IS A FIG TREE. (Signed: The Almighty.) No, If It-bears eni tfwfigs are -rood, you don’t need to have -id’s recommendation spelled out. e tree speaks for itself, by its ■it. In the same vein, Paul, in fending himself from his nuurous critics, points to what he aas been doing and how he has been doing it, as evidence that God has approved him and his work. If the question still haunts anyone, What does God in his infinite wisdom think of ipe? one straight answer is: Are you doing the kind of things Jesus did? God’s main work in this world is to draw men to himself. Does your life, what you are and do, bring others a bit closer to God? making God credible?

THE GIFT OF GOD'S GREAT LOVE Rev. James R. Meadows The Christmas season is approaching us again. How will we keep it? Christ was the gift of God's s'love. God so loved us He could not withhold Christ from us. And it was because He could in this way best help up that He gave us Christ. God gave us Christ because we had need that could best be supplied in this way. This was the glad tidings of great joy: ‘Unto you a Son is given.” Comes the Son of God to lighten your dark world. He comes to every man. Are we in this mind as approaches again the Christmas tide? How do we celebrate the birth of this Christ of God? It is well we bestow gifts upon those we love. It will be better that we bestow some where there fs need that would not otherwise be supplied. And this we Will do in the measure of our love for man and our ability to do for him. Then there is the need of the world, running large every hour ot every day. How regard we it? As a church, how are we approaching the need of the world we are sent to serve? God would make us to the world the gift of His love. He can do it only as we will, and in the measure of our strength to serve. Shall we not become His sons and His daughters indeed, that He may give us in much service to our fellows of this world? It wifi take vision, and love, and intelligence, and training for the task, even as manifest in Christ. Shall we not make ready? And when we are ready, then Pleasant Dale Church of the Brethren Dolar Ritchey, pastor Sunday school 9:30 Oscar Geisel, superintendent, - Director of Children’s Work, ElIgn Leyse. . • .
