Our Future Fanners The three Adams county chapters of Future Fanners of America will celebrate their 36th anniversary of their national organization this year, and this week are calling attention of the entire county to tj»e constructive work they are doing in improving our agriculture. The Adams Central chapter, under the guidance of Martin Watson, has piled up a tremendous record of achievement in the past few years. More than 60 boys are presently active in the chapter. Formerly, Decatur, Monmopth, Pleasant Mills, Hartford and other county schools had chapters, and it is to be hoped that North Adams will again be able to sponsor a national-ly-recognized and integrated program for farm boys in the near future. The motto of the FFA, “Learning to do, doing to learn, earning to live, living to serve” emphasized their purpose — preparation of experienced skilled young men for farming and fbr farmoriented business. While farmers form only 8% of America, agri-business, or farm-oriented jobs, inclade about 40% of our laboring force, including some of the high-paying industrial jobs. Tridned young men with farm backgrounds, with good grass-roots knowledge of the latest farming methods, are urgently needed. These young men fully deserve our support and encouragement in their endeavors. We are depending on them to utilize our rich, productive land, that is their heritage. The training that they are receiving through the FFA is vital to the future of us all The FFA organization is a young, growing one. ' Launched in Kansas City, Mo., on Nov. 20, 1928 by 35 vocational-agriculture students and their leaders, it has become the largest farm boy organization in the world. Approximately 400,000 members participate in this intracurricular school group, composed of boys studying vocational agriculture. Membership is voluntary, and the FFA has no political or religious affiliations. The FFA trains young men to be not only farmers with skill and technical knowledge, but farmers with leadership experience and potential This is vital in a Democratic society. The ability to understand, put into words, explain logically to your neighbors, and to get coordinated community action is a vital necessity to every citizen. The FFA is one organization that trains youths how to do this, without telling them what position tb take on questions . Let each of us realize how important it is that the young people in our largest single industry, farming, have a background that not only » helps them in farming, but in taking part in our Democratic way of life. We salute the Future Farmers of America, past and present members, during this week! Keep up the good work! Editorial written by.»Dick Heller

Ag Spokesman Asks Women To Aid In fight By HORTENSE MYERS United Pres* Internattaoal INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — A top Hoosier spokesman for agriculture turned to the women today for aid in mounting a fight against what he termed an effort by President Johnson's administration to revive a compulsory wheat control plan rejected by farmers last year in a national referendum. Indiana Farm Bureau Vice President Glenn W. Sample, in an address today before the 34th women’s conference of the bureau here, urged them to Write to Indiana’s two senators from Indiana this week to voice their views on the bill. Cm object of Sample’s ire was a bill which calls for a plan under which farmers who cut back 10 per cent of their acreage allotments for various crops would get a certificate worth a guaranteed price. Sample disputed claims by backers of the certificate plan that it was Voluntary. He was joined in his another speaker, Mrs. Guy E. Gross, Churubusco, director of the women’s division of the Indiana Farm Bureau. No Choice Freedom “Penalties for non-participa-tion would be so great that many wheat producers would have little freedom of choice,” Sample charged. “This plan still embodies a great deal of compulsion and government al- ’ location of the market for food ' wheat without regard to the quality of wheat a grower produces or the use made of it.” Mrs. Gross told the some 2,000 women to “look this gift horse in the mouth. We would be receiving a big part of our income from a compensatory check written out from the government” Sample asked for the letters because the Senate Agriculture Committee already has scheduled hearings this week on the certificate plan. “We are not going to have the chance to vote in a referendum. We must let Congress hear from the country yet this week,” he told them. “Side-Door Approach” He said the plan “is a sidedoor approach to the same kind of program the farmer turned down last year. Senators and Congressmen will be voting on whether or not to put such •legislation into effect rather than farmers. Political decisisions are a poor substitute for the good judgment of farmers to decide for themselves.” Sample said American farmers already had demonstrated since the May 21. 1963 national referendum ending wheat controls that they do not need the government to “tell farmers how much to plant, what price they should get and what penalties they should receive for., not staving within bounds.” He said that although the secretary of the agriculture had predicted the price of wheat would drop to SI a bushel without a governmental limit, this had not happened. Instead, he said, the farmers seeded only 43 million acres of wheat last fall, compared to the Department of Agriculture prediction they would plan 46.7 million acres. Mrs. Gross also jumped on President Johnson’s “war against poverty” campaign while she was at it. “We are told we must create - more jobs to wage this war on poverty,” she said. “Is t his really true or do we have jobs that some feel it is below their . dignity to do? Many jobs go begging because of this.” COURT NEWS Set for Issues On amotion of the plaintiff, the case of Aluminum Acceptance Corp., vs. Wilford and Evelyn Plasterer was set for issues March 6, at 9 a.m. The case involves a complaint to foreclose mortgage. Files for Possession OA complaint in ejectment was_ filed by Paul W. fiteidenbach against Donald D. and Charlotte Jeon Jacobs, and a summons ordered issued to the sheriff for the defendants, returnable March 2.

1. Q—l’ve been receiving social security benefits for several years. Recently I had my leg broken in an accident The insurance company paid me some money because of this. Will this money count against the $1,200 I can earn in a year?

Q—My wife and I get monthly social security payments. We are both in our late sixties and she draws on my record. I’m wondering about this $1,200 a year business. Since there are two of us, can I earn $2,400 in wages and still get all my payments? A—No. Both you and your wife can earn up to $1,200 a year and still get all your benefits. However, the law does not permit one person to transfer his allotment to another. 3. Q—ln just a few 1 months I’m going to be 72 years old. Now I signed up for my payments about 2 years ago but never received a check because I kept right on working for good pay.

You should receive your first check early in the first month following the month you become 72 years old. 4. Q—l am 55 years old and I am no longer able to work. If I qualify for disability will the monthly amount be reduced because I am not the normal retiremeai age?

Court Rule Points Apportionment Need

INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — The U.S. Supreme Court ruling Monday that Georgia unfairly apportioned its congressional districts in 1962 to discriminate against city dwellers pointed up once again the inequalities of the apportionment in Indiana. The sweeping decision could ultimately result in a redistricting by the 1965 Legislature, since the ruling appeared to have placed a judicial mandate on states to straighten out their apportionment inequities i n much the same manner the court previously had ordered equalizing reapportionment of legislatures. The last apportionment, in Indiana came 22 years ago when shifts in population nationally reduced the number of congressmen for Hoosiers from 12 to 11. The 1941 Legislature changed the districts effective with the 1942 elections. Population at the time of the apportionment was based on the 1940 U.S. census. There was some shifting of population in the 1950 and 1960 censuses, so that even greater ratios of representation between districts exist today than existed in 1941. No Mandate in 1961 Furthermore, when the 1960 population figures were released and Congress added and took away congressional seats from some states, Indiana’s 11 representatives remained unchanged. Thus, there was no specific mandate on the 1961 Legislature to change the voting districts. However, the fact remains that one congressman from the Uth District, the one-county area comprising Indianapolis and Marion County, represents 697,567 persons and one congressman from the 9th District, made up of 14 counties in the southeast section of the state, represents only 290,596, or fewer than half the number of the 11th. Lake County’s one-county Ist District also is poorly represented by comparison with many of the predominantly rural districts, with one man representing 513,269 persons. The population of the other districts is 472,958 for the 3rd, 459,473 for the sth, 423,929 for the Bth, 394,391 for the 10th, 390,010 for the 4th, 357,309 for the 2nd, 333,783 for the 6th, and 329,213 for the 7th. If Indiana were perfectly apportioned, one congressman would represent 423,871 persons, one-eleventh of the 4,662,589 population in 1960. Indiana’s largest district contains a little less than 15 per cent of the state’s population and has 9.9 per cent of its representation. Has 6% Per Cent of Population Its smallest contains less than 6% per cent of the population and has 9.9 per cent of the representation. The combined population of the state’s first most populous districts is more than 2.5 mil- ■ lion, while the combined population of the six least populous is less than 2.1 million. Indiana’s representation isn’t as bad as Georgia’s, at that. The two Atlanta voters who sued to nullify the apportionment contended that one district in Georgia contained more than 20 per cent of the state’s population but had only one-tenth

Redistricting often result* in charges of gerrymandering—that i>. carving out districts so the party in power in the legislature gets a break by having traditionally Repu b1 i can or Democratic counties grouped together. It is virtually impossible for the Ist - District to elect a Republican. Democrats have prevailed jn this topheavy Democratic Lake County area since the early 19405. By the same token, it is difficult to imagine a Democra tic congressman from the 2nd District, where Rep. Charles A. Halleck /has been in power since 1935. Welsh Cites Need z Os More Personnel INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Governor Welsh today told Indiana farm women that the two per cent state sales tax is not his baby. But he defended the need for expansion of state personnel to administer it Welsh estimated that 223 additional employes would be required for the revenue department as a result of the tax, including 123 who already have been added. However, he said that during the past three years “almost seven out of each 10 employes ■ added to the state departments fall into just two areas of government —care of the mentally ill and construction, rebuilding and maintenance of state highways.” Welsh said Indiana still is far behind the number of employes it should have in its mental institutions. He said if “more workers will get you better roads faster, we will hire them.” “Partially an increase in the number of employes in state government is caused by the steady growth of our population,” Welsh said. “For every 100 persons in Indiana at the beginning of 1961, there are now 105.” Welsh said the legislature added “entirely new functions that require more employes.” “For example, when the assembly passed the sales tax, a tax I did not recommend, it also as a result forced the employment of 123 additional employes for the revenue department to collect the tax and keep the proper records.” The governor said the sales tax “is still relatively new and present estimates are that eventually an additional 100 employes will also have to be hired before the sales tax division can operate at the minimum level necessary.” New York Stock Exchange Price MIDDAY PRICES A.
