I Monday night we had a a very interesting experience in teaching the 4-H news reporters class at the annual 4-H school for officers. Eight or nine officers from every 4-H club in the county attended. The editor's job was to instruct the 4-H news reporters. We stressed the importance of spelling, especially names of club members, and those who take part in the meetings. In fact, we discussed spelling for about 20 minutes. Then each of the news reporters, who varied in ages from 10 to 18, got a chance to write up a news report. Each had a form to follow, and I carefully spelled out each name. In fact, I spelled out Ernest Lesiuk’s name three times —it is an unusual one in this county, where Neuenschwander, Bultemeier and Schwartz are commonplace. And then the awakening! I collected the papers, and started checking them. I forgot that I hadn’t been working with young children so closely for some time, and the first paper nearly bowled me over! The name of the club was spelled “Buster’s.” I asked if this were an abrievation for Sodbusters; naturally, we prefer the full name of the club. No, the youth said, that was the way he spelled Boosters! Then I thought of how poor a speller I am, and have been, and how even now my mother will call me up to correct my spelling, and I thought of how I could have benefitted by harder drills on spelling in school, and asked all of them to redouble their efforts at spelling. As I went on reading this boy’s paper, I got to a real stumper. It was the sentence, “He called Dean Beer down to say the 4-H and pejlejuns After due deliberation and later consultation, it was deciphered as “pledge of allegiance! You know, spelling is quite important, isn’t it? We can’t convey our thoughts unless we understand both spelling and punctuation. We must all understand it in exactly the same way, or problems in understanding each other are greatly multiplied. Just for fun, we checked on one name, Ernest Lesiuk. It had been spelled to them. Yet of the 30 papers turned in, it was correctly spelled 17 times, with such variations as Lesink, Leseuk, Lessiuc, Lesiek, Lesick, Lesiluk, Lusink, and Lesiuck. And Ernest was mispelled twice, too! So if we occasionally mispell your name in the paper, pleaseremember it may have been reported to us that way! As I mentioned to the group — even the New York Times has mistakes on its front page!

FLORIDA SHORT CUT—At present the main shipping lanes across or around Honda are the Okeechobee Waterway in southern Florida and the open-water route around Key West. On February 28th, President Johnson pushed a button that got a new crossFlorida waterway under way. Authorized by Congress in 1942, the waterway will be 12 feet deep and 150 feet wide. It will be 107 miles long, from St. Johns River at Palatka to deep water in the Gulf of Mexico near Yankeetown. The waterway will be dotted with five locks so that Florida’s ground water will not be affected. Small Newsmap gives close-up view of the project. The larger map illustrates its overall importance as the missing link in the Intracoastal Waterway System.

Democrats Irked At G. 0. P. Offer A number of local Democrats were added to the Republicans receiving mail Saturday from an Qrganization called . “PRO’S,” a Republican organization aiming at raising funds and spreading out propaganda during this election year. Memberships were offered at $25 and $lO, including for the former an emblem, identification card, and a subscription to a “highly confidential” monthly newsletter containing information heretofore limited to top Republic can officials, and for the the latter two items. The letter contained a double sheet with a number of blanket accusations against the Democrats. Bhe initials “PRO'S” stand for political responsibility, organization and sanity, according to the letter. A typical paragraph: “This sort of Potomac patty-cake is typical of the Demokids. Result—since 1930 only 3 Democratic balanced budgets in 30 years of control! Compare that with 22 balanced budgets out of 34 years of Republican control.” They forget to mention just which 34 years'of Republican control, in non-war years, they were including for comparison! The result was, these Democrats who received letters were boiling mad this weekend, and have already begun a counter-campaign to raise funds to combat the Republican propaganda. First Os State Tax Refunds Are Mailed INDIANAPOLIS (U PI) — Checks averaging $9 apiece will be found in the mailboxes of 17,000 Indiana residents today and Wednesday as the first of 750.000 tax refunds from the state arrive home. An estimated $6.7 million n 1963 taxes will be returned to Hoosiers, a “major portion”hopefully before July 1. James C. Courtney, Ihdiana commissioner of revenue, said the 17,000 refunds went in the mail Monday and another 26,000 were processed, about ready for mailing. He said, many of the refunds were made necessary by overdeductions from pay checks for gross —income tax due to the changeover at mid-year from the old tax system to the 2 per cent adjusted gross, 2 per cent sales and corporation taxes. The average amount of each refund check, on the basis of the first 43,000 checks, was about $9. If this figure holds up for the remaining refunds, the total would amount to $6,750,000. Courtney said the refunds are
