Local Citizenship Education widespread education is essential to the maintenance of liberty. Freedom and government by the people cannot long survive or be intelligently administered unless the people are educated and have the intelHgence and the character which only education can provide . . . Education is essential if a free people is to remain free . . . No man can be free if he does not understand the opportunities which lie before him.” The above quote is from Sen. Robert A. Taft, and points up that both conservatives and liberals believe very strongly in education. The Robert A. Taft Institute of Government has recently completed a survey of citizenship education in the United State, as part of its major objectives: To stimulate an understanding of our government; to inspire more active interest and participation in government; to advance the science of government to meet more effectively, the problems confronting the United States and Western Civilization. We may be surprised to learn that only two states in the United States rank better than Indiana in state-required citizenship courses. Os the 21 requirements checked in the survey, Indiana requires 17; only Pennsylvania, which requires all 21, and Mississippi, which requires 19, rank better. The real test, of course, is how many are taught in our schools, and how thoroughly are the subjects taught. We interviewed North Adams community school superintendent Gail Grabill on these subjects recently, and he gave us the following information about the Decatur-Monmouth system. - Basic patriotism is emphasized by every teacher in every grade, through history, through literature, through classroom etiquette and citizenship. Flag education starts early in the grades, with respect to our flag, and its meaning, carefully taught. The U. S. constitution and state constitution are taught in the 4th seventh and 12th grades; U. S. government in the 12th; state government in the eighth and 12th. These courses were required by Indiana state law in 1937. Geography, taught locally in the 2nd through 7th grades, and in the 11th in high has-been required since 1907. In 1925 civics were required, and it is taught usually during the senior year. In 1935 political party structure and party organization was required, and this is taught in civics and sociology, 12th grade. A 1951 statute required U. S. history, taught in the eighth and 11th grade; American institutions and ideals, taught in sociology and civics; state history, taught in the seventh grade; principals of representative government, taught in the senior year; duties of citizenship, taught in the same year; local government, and election laws. The latter is also stressed throughout the schoool system in many classes during actual election times. Teaching about the Declaration of Independendence, the Federalist papers, Communism, and economics, are not required by state law in Indiana, but they are part of the North Adams curriculum, Grabill stated. The former two are stressed in American history, in the eighth and 11th grades, while the latter are explained in civics and sociology. It is obvious that we in this area are trying hard to stress the importance of good citizenship. This must also be stressed in the home, as well as in school. At home, obedience to laws, whether good or bad, and an active part in trying to make all our laws better, can very well be stressed. It takes all of us working together to make America a stronger, finer place to live, through good citizenship. Editorial written by Dick Heller

Russian Children Not War Minded

By GAY PAULEY UPI Women’s Editor NEW YORK (UPI) — Soviet children are growing up convinced their ideology will prevail over all other political systems through “peaceful evolution” and without the need of military force. So concludes Jules Power, a television producer and writer who spent five weeks in Russia filming its children in classroom, at play, at home, at parties inside the Kremlin walls, and at pioneer palaces where the education for Communist party membership begins. “Soviet children are not sup-er-children, nor will they grow into super-en,” said Power. “They are children. . .fat ones, thin ones, smart ones, stupid ones, some who want to be cosmonauts, sbme who couldn’t care less. “But they are not growing up with a war philosophy. They are the affluent generation, by Soviet Standards, and have never seen war as their parents have.” Filins TV Show Powers first trip to Moscow was for two weeks last November to map out what he wanted to film for. “Discovery,” the ABC-Television show which he writes and produces. The second trip was for three weeks at the end of December and in early January to do the actual filming. He plans a two- part presentation, the first segment to be shown Feb. 23, the second March 1. “I returned from the first trip depressed,” said Power in an interview. “I sensed a unilateral dedication which would make life in the years ahead difficult for the Western world. “Frotn the second trip, though, I felt there are tendencies the Soviet children are not con-

vinced that Communism will prevail by war, but will because it is right. Their thinking Seems to be one of peaceful evolution. “But it is dedication still, and this we will have to face with even greater dedication to oud< ideologies. . .and by out - propagandizing them.” Greatest Heroes 2 “Ask Soviet children to name the greatest men in history,” he said, “and the first one named is Lenin. Ask them the greatest lving men and they answer with Khrushchev, which is to be expected, and then — suprising to me, they name Fidel Castro. “They look on him as a hero because he is spreading Communism to the Western world.” Power—estimated that he talked with 600 children, through the two interpreters who were with him and his crew for three weeks in which he said they worked on an agreement of no deleting, no screening, no censorship, no right of modification on the part of the Soviet officials. The interpreters were Irena Tolstikova, 12, and Puri Popov, 13, the latter a dedicated “pioneer” in the Communist movement. Starts Early - ' Power explained that formal education for party membership begins when a child is 10. Children from ages 10-14 are inducted into the Young Pioneers — and there are 19 million of these alone, he said. At 14. they are graduated to the Youn£ Communist League; at 21, they are full-fledged party members, provided they have met all the party’s qualifications. • Pioneer palaces include very. thing from ballet to chess instruction, said Power. “But recreation, or whatever, all are geared to development of the to-

Southwest Storm Heads To Midwest By United Press International A snow storm breeding in the Southwest stalled hundreds of cars in Arizona today and spread eastward into the Middle West. The Weather Bureau issued hazardous driving warnings for Arizona, northwest Texas and western Oklahoma and heavy snow warnings for parts of eastern New Mexico and northwest Texas. The snows closed U.S. 66 east of Albuquerque, N.M., and U.S. 60 west of Socorro. The New Mexico state police reported 150 cars stalled in Tijeras Canyon on U.S. 66 just east of Albuquerque and a total of 250 cars mired in the snow between Albuquerque and the Texas line. The state police discouraged all traffic east of Albuquerque. Five inches of new snow was measured at both Grants and Santa Fe and Socorro had six inches. On the western eage of the storm belt, North Loup, Neb., measured eight inches of snow. In Kansas, a Continental Trailways bus bound from Kansas City to Denver slipped off an icy highway and overturned, injuring seven persons. The Weather Bureau said snow would fall from the eastern border of Arizona and New Mexico northeastward into western lowa. Sunday, the Punxsutawney groundhog crawled from his hole, spotted his shadow and scurried back in for six more weeks of sleep—and presumably an equal period of wintry weather. o ( 20 Years Ago Today 0 __— —0 Feb. 3, 1964 — The Decatur Chamber of Commerce has voted to approve a water softener for ■ the city water plant. Decatur theater-goers contributed $262.25 to the March of Dimes fund during January to uniformed Girl Scouts stationed in . the Adams and Court theaters during the month. Three hundred farm men and women attended the dairy extension school at Berne. Production of wood boxes for the city’s newest factory, Decatur Industries, will start in the next few weeks in the Johnson Welding shop building on Eighth St., which was recently purchased by Noah, Steury, who began assembling Swiss music boxes in small boxes last summer in the garage at his home.

In classrooms you didn’t see a Russian child up waving his hand to challenge a teachers statement as my 11-year-old would have done. Power and his wife a teacht er in the Rye, N.

County Population 24,643 In 1960

(Editor’s note: This is the second in the series of articles on the 1960 U. S. census reports.) Adams county had a total population of 24,643 in 1960, and this included one Negro and' eight of other races, according to official U> S. Census figures. Only .04% of 1% of the population was listed as non-white. The state is 5.9% non-white. Only six counties in Indiana have fewer Negroes — Crawford, Dubois, Warren, Washington, White and Whitley counties — while two had the same number, 1— Wells and Tipton. Jay county has 85 Negroes, and Allen county 11,702. There are 92 counties in Indiana. Birth, Death Bates In 1960, Adams county had 587 births, or 23.8 per 1,000 population. The county also recorded 228 deaths, or a rate of 9.2 per 1,000 population. Both rates were slightly under the state averages of 24.1 and 9.7 respectively. Females slightly outnumber males in Adams county, 12,464 to 12,179. And adults, 21 years of age and over, outnumber children, 14,066 to 10,577. There are 7,277 adult females, compared with 6,789 males over 21 years of age. About 10.2% of the population is 65 and over. For children under five, males outnumber females, 1,521 to 1,460, a total of 2,981. From 5 to 9 years of age, there are 1,497 males, and 1,408 females. For 10 to 19 years, there are 2,240 males and 2,192 females. Women Gain Percentage In the 20 to 39 age group, women take over, and outnumber the men by an increasingly greater margin, as the age groups advance. In that group, women outnumber men 2,935 to 2,802 for a total of 5,737. In the 40 to 54 age group, there were 2,000 women and 1,993 men, or 3,993. In the 55 to 65 group, these were 1,081 women and 999 men; and 65 and over, there are 1,127 men and Slate Vice Raiders Busy Over Weekend By United Press International Indiana vice raiders were unusually busy during the weekend breaking up gambling, illegal liquor and prostitution activities in at least five cities and a roadside club.” More than 200 persons were arrested. Raids were conducted at Indianapolis, Muncie, Kokomo, Anderson, and Marion and at a private party in the Plantation Club along Indiana 67 south of McCordsville. The Plantation raid netted 80 arrests on charges of visiting a gaming house, and those nabbed were promptly fined in a Fortville peace court to the tune of a $2,000 total/' Seventeen state police and the Hancock County prosecutor and sheriff’s deputies staged the Plantation raid in the early morning hours of Saturday. At about the same time, raids on gambling were staged at a Kokomo poolroom, with the Howard County prosecutor and Kokomo police chief participating; pt a Marion poolroom, and at an Anderson grill. The raids netted 22 arrests at Kokomo, 9 at Marion and 11 at Anderson. On Saturday night at Muncie, vice and gambling raids resulted in eight arrests at a cigar store and two arrests at an alleged house of prostitution were made 18 hours earlier.

1,388 women. Adams county has 16,576 persons who are 14 years of age or older, and of these, 9,240 are in the labor force, with 9,043 employed. and 189 unemployed, according to the 1960 figures. Thus, 55.7% of those 14 years of age or older are in the labor force, and 7,336 are not in the labor force. More Male Workers While females outnumber males in this age group, 8,501 to 8,075, those actually in the labor force show a different comparison — 8,481 men to 2,759 women. In their respective groups, 80.3% of the men over 14 are in the labor group, and 32.5% of the women • are in it. Os these, 98 men and 91 women were temporarily unemployed. There were eight men residing in Adams county on April 1, 1960, in the armed forces. Average weekly earnings for employes covered by unemployment compensauon in Adams county in 1961 shows 4,036 in average monthly employment, with average weekly earnings in the April-June quarter of SB3. There were 2,542 in manufacturing, with average weekly earnings in the same period of $91.87. Adams county wages are slightly lower than larger areas, such as Fort Wayne, but unemployment is also considerably lower, with fewer workers less frequently laid off. More Factory Workers Kinds of occupations might surprise you in Adams county While we think of our county as a “rural area,” since it is only 44.5% urban, it is surprising to learn that farming ranks third in numbers in the county, with 1,489 in farming, forestry and fishing. The leader, manufacturing, employs 3,240, or more than twice those in retail and wholesale trade, 1,601. Fourth in rank are professional people, with 659, including 243 men and 295 women, ranks sixth: transportation and other utilities hires 373: finance, insurance and real estate employs 220, including 114 men and 106 women; public administration, ninth 206 people, 142 men and 64 women: repair services, 163, with 146 men and 17 women. The 1958 census of manufacturing establishments showed 45 manufacturing establishments, with four employing more than 100 persons: 19 in the 20-99 category, and 22 in the 1-19 group.
