which activities they would try to do. Among the activities were several kinds of nature hikes led by senior scouts, wagon relay races, and circle games. Cadette scouts were on hand to teach new folks dances and songs. When the girls were tired or cold, they sought shelter in either the Girl scout shelter house or the Boy Scout house which had been borrowed for the day. In both of these places popcorn and hot chocolate were available. Closing the day, after three hours of fun, the Cadettefi once more presented a flag cermony. Taps were sung and the group dismissed.

Plans will be made along the same lines of fellowship and cooperation for day camp to be held next summer. Mrs. Boltz and Mrs. Eichenauer will also be in charge of the summer plans. * # Brighter Livestock Outlook Pictured ST. PAUL, Minn. (UPI) — A brighter livestock outlook for 1964 and a growing challenge of livestock imports by the United States, were predicted today by the dean of the University of Minnesota’s Institute of Agriculture. Dr. Sherwood O. Berg, speaking at the 43rd annual convention of the Central Livestock Association, based his prediction on the assumption of continued growth of the general Economy and active consumer spending. He predicted an increase in hog prices, but little change in cattie and lamb prices as compared with 1963. He said, however, that beef returns should be better for producers because of lower feeder prices. Berg said that attractive U.S. prices for beef, low fixed duties and restricted imports by other countries challenges U.S. grown beef. He said the U.S. is the primary import market for several top beef-producing countries. Three challenges faced by the beef industry, Berg said, were diseases and parasites, need for continued improvements in breeding, and consumer demands.

Woman Injured In One-Car Accident A resident of near Willshire, 0., was injured in a one-car accident this morning east of Decatur on U. S. 224. Myrtle Mae Meyer, 48, of route 1, Willshire, was admitted to the Adams county memorial hospital with a laceration to the scalp, a fractured rib on her right side and abrasions to the ankles and knees, following the crash. Her auto was traveling west on 224, six miles east of Decatur, at 9:50 a.m. today and went out of control on snow and ice. The car crossed the road and struck the corner of a culvert on the north side of the road, and then went into a ditch. The vehicle did not, however, roll over. The injured lady was alone in the car at the time, and deputy sheriff Warren Kneuss, who investigated, considered the 1961 model car a total loss. Students Denounce I. U. Kissing Ban BLpOMINGTON, Ind. (UPI) —The Indiana University Student Senate will be asked tonight to denounce a rule banning kissing in the lounge of a ■women’s dormitory. Three Senate members, including Jim Godfrey, vice president of the student body, planned to introduce a resolution condemning what they called “dictation of students’ morals.” The rule has touched off a storm of indignant protests on the campus since last week when the counseling staff of Sycamore Hall said that no romance would be permitted beyond “holding hands and conversing verbally.” One angry student called it “an attempt to deny young people one of their greatest joys” in a letter to the Indiana Daily Student, campus newspaper. The newspaper complained in an editorial that the student government had been bypassed in establishing the rule. “It would have been much easier to enforce the rule if it were made by the student government instead of the counselors,” the editorial said. "We wouldn’t have had such a big fuss. “But then,” it added, “there are always people who want to do it the hard way.” Miss Arden Mueller, head counselor for the dorm, closed the lounge to coeds and their dates after a couple exchanged a kiss Sunday night. The lounge reopened Monday night but the no kissing rule was enforced. Members of the dormitory student council complained that they were not asked to vote oft the rule although in effect, they confirmed the counseling staff’s rule. In, a statement, they admitted that "poor conduct” had existed in the lounge for some time and there had been “many attempts at remedy.” The council said that hereafter “dates may be entertained during the estat» lished men’s visiting hours in the recreation room” rather than the lounge. In the event of further kissing in the lounge, the council said, authorities will take action against individual offenders. Dr. Elizabeth Greenleaf, director of counseling and activities, said a “problem” existed. She implied that banning kisses might be ineffective and unreasonable but said something had to be done.
