Local Recreation Facilities In 1960 Adams county had a population of 24,643; by 1970, if we continue to grow at the 1950-60 rate, we will have 27,100 people. Going by the standards mentioned in yesterday’s editorial, this would mean that Adams county: Already meets the 1970 needs for playfield and playground area. We now have, according to the Stone survey, 102 acres of playground; we presently need 31, and by 1970 will need 34, so we are well over the minimum playground space. We have six public baseball diamonds, two more than the minimum for our population, one more than our needs by 1970. Our recreation building needs, are met through the Decatur youth center. We presently have 10 gyms, and will need only three. (No doubt this is low for basketball-crazy Indiana!) We have nine auditoriums, well over the 1 we need or will need. We have three libraries, which we will need by 1970. We have five outdoor swimming beaches and pools, though three of them are private. What, then, do we need? We presently need 246 acres of park space and will need 271 by 1970; we have only 126. Not only do we need more, but there is even a possibiHty that the Ouabache State recreation area may be sold by the state for a housing development — which would dras- . tically cut park facilities in this area. mum- . We~need six more softball diamonds; we have only three listed. We will need ten more tennis courts only four were listed in the county when the survey was made; some more have no doubt been added., We have no public golf course; nine holes are recommended. We do have a good private golf course, and a new one is being built between Berne and Geneva. We have one social room, and need three; one game room, and need three; one arts and craft room, and need three; no club rooms, and need seven. Actually, though, most of the needed items are present in the county, but perhaps not readily available publicly. There is one item that we save for last that is badly needed. And that item is an indoor swimming pool. Otherwise, we are in good condition, but until the swimming pool is built, it will be sadly missed. There has been talk of building one at the community center; there has also been talk of including one in any new North Adams school building proposed. However it is done, it should be available to all the people of the county at least part of the day. Editorial written by— D,ck Heller TV PROGRAMS’ Central Daylight Time

HOAGLAND HIGH By rhyUte Franke Thejbectional draw matched us against Adams Central Jets in the first game played on Thursday night. After regulation time, the score was tied, 55-55. The overtime saw Adams Central score four points to the Wildcat’s two points, to win, 59-57. Dave Sprague took game scoring honors with 28 points. Don Thornell added 10 points; Denny Johnson, 7 points; Lynn Bradtmueller, 6 points; and Dave Mulligan, Ron Saalfrank, and Duane Heckler each added 2 points. — H. H. S. — The gymnastics team defeated Muncie Burris 57-18 in the meet which took place Saturday, February 22. at our gym. The Wildcats took first place honors in the horizontal bar, still rings, tumbling, and side horse events. Jerry Smitley and Joe Fisher won the first places in these events. The team’s next competition will come in the state gymnastic meet. — H. H. S. — JoAnne Jones has been notified that she has made the Indiana state high school band. Congratulations, JoAnne. Also congratulations to the Pep Block who did such a terrific job of cheering on the team in the sectional. Good job, kids. — H. H. S. — The skit contest held Thursday, sixth period, was won by the senior class. The senior class skit depicted a rehearsal of the Adams Central - Hoagland game to be piayed that night. The cheerleaders played the ball player parts and the ball players were the cheerleaders. With a combination like this, nothing of course went right in the game. So the moral to the skit “A bad rehearsal makes for a good performance,” was very apt. — H. H. S. — We wish to* express through this column how much we enjoyed participating in the Adams Central sectional. The sportmanship of the ball players, the students, and everyone else there made us feel that this was the tenth time we were playing there instead of the first time. Many thanks for the wonderful welcome. — H. H. S. — CRESTVIEW HIGH By Terry Bollenbacher w ■ The cheerleaders would like to thank the student body for cheering and supporting our team in the county tournament which was held recently. As there have been many school consolidations in the county over the past few years, there were only three schools left to participate in the tournament. With the support of the fans we beat Ohio City — Liberty. Friday night. Even though we did not win scorewise. Saturday night in the championship game, we definitely won in school spirit and support. We are real proud of our team and feel that it was just through luck that LincolnvieW ended up five points ahead of Crestview to win the, county tournament. — C. H. S. — Since there are just three teams left in the county to participate in the county tournament, there will not be a county tourney held next year. — C. H. S. — * Sheila Myers, a senior student

S. — Two Maryknoll Sisters showed a movie on mission life to the entire school Wednesday of the past week. This movie told us that half the world’s people go hungry every night. In many mission countries people are born, live and die on the streets. Their only hope is in us, the United Statesi and the generous people throughout the world. These Sistrs who have been in the mission countries gave us an idea of what our responsibility is to our hungering neighbors. — D. C. H.

DECATUR HIGH by Marilyn Knudsen "We’ve Got Spirit,” was the theme for. the basketball season at Decatur high school, and at no time was it more evident than during the sectional. Signs were decorating every available bit of bulletin board and wall space, even to the point that the “seven lovi es” in the cafeteria let the students know there was well-wishing from the kitchen. Each morning of the sectional week, the cheerleaders declared a “Think Day” and announced the subject for the thoughts of the day. On the day of the game with Geneva, opening the Adams Central sectional, the cheerleaders declared. “Purple and' Gold Day,"” when every loyal Jacket fan wore purple dr gold to show his confidence in the team. Nearly everyone participated: the wrestling team wore their gold sweatshirts, boys wore their purple “D” sweaters, and even the teachers added to the spirit by placing purple and gold ribbons in their buttonholes. — D.

Strange Problem, Spend More Money By DICK WEST United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) — AH over America, citizens are com- , ing to grips this week with a strange and difficult problem. Namely, how to spend the money made available by the new income tax cut. Americans have had very little experience in this sort of thing. It will take time for wage earners to become adjusted to the lower withholding rates. In some instances, it may take as long as three or four seconds. . , But if we keep our heads, remembering the immortal words of Clifford P. Case, R-N.J., we should be able to cope with the situation without undue stress. It was Case who pointed out that “welcome as the income tax cuts are to all of us who acquaint themselves with the 1 workings of the paper, Susan Osterman, Joann Kallenberger, Marilyn Harman, Sue Godsey, Kathy Thieme, and Darlene Richards, have been finding ways to work with the senior staff. No boys have yet been selected because none has expressd an interest in journalism. - D. H S. — Faculty members, Mr. Kelly, Mr. Brandenberg, Mr. Dailey, and Mr. Clayton,, sacrificed the pleasure of watching Decatur’s ■ conquest of Geneva to go to the Purdue regional campus in • Fort Wayne. These four men have enrolled in an audio-visual course that meets every Wednesday night, and “Hoosier Hysteria” provides no excuse for absence. — D. H. S. — Senior Rick Doty is going to attend an invitational winter weekend at Valparaiso University next weekend. — D. H. S. — Mrs. Schnepf, guidance cousellor of the North Adams community schools, spent Wednesday of last week at the Purdue regional campus at a meeting of the schools of Indiana prediction study. The representatives examined SAT scores and scholastic achievement to predict college grades for students. — D. H. S. — Ron Smith and Tom Hakes have been named as the co-chairmen of the Latin banquet to be held March 20,Miss - Vera has announced. Using the traditional Roman theme, Pant 5 Koos has designed the program covers for the event, and the annual affair is well on its way, with Dick Cowans in charge of lighting essects, Mike Fuhrman in charge of stage properties, and Tom Hakes and Kip Lutes in charge of the seating for the students of the two participating classes. - — D.

are employed, they may be even more helpful to the unemployed.” That is something to think about as we go about spending our largesse. Calls Family Conference There is no fixed formula, or set of rules, to guide a taxpayer in disposing of his additional *take-home” pay. Each will have to wprk it out for himself. I expect that many will do so by means of a “family conference,” which is the good old American way and which is the way the problem was handled in my household. When my family found out that I was struggling with the question of how to use the extra cash, they immediately rallied around and began to offer suggestions. A family just naturally draws closer together in times of crisis. One of my daughters felt that the nation’s unemployed would be helped substantially if I outfitted my offspring with “Beatle wigs.” Another daughter offered to help the unemployed by letting I me buy up her entire quota of Girl Scout cookies, which otherwise she would sell to the neighbors.

I was carefully weighing the various suggestions when my wife came in and, kind soul that she is, lifted the burden from my shoulders. “You don’t have to worry, dear,” she said, “I’ve spent it all already.” No problem is insurmountable when a man has a sympathetic wife.
