Another Baseball Season As the major leagues start their regular season, baseball fans start their season of watching avidly as their favorite team makes its bid to better last season’s effort, or win the title again. Wives give up their husbands, friends lose contact, and the world is turned upside down again until diamond fever recedes again a few weeks after the final world series game in the fall. You propably didn’t realize it, but like Communism and Socialism, baseball, our national sport, is a foreign ideology! (So, of course, are Democracy, Republicanism, etc., but that is beside the point). Baseball, which opens another season April 13, is not American in origin, according to the 19-page article on the game in the ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA. Baseball, as a game, dates at least as far back as the first half of the 18th century in England. In the “Letters” of Mary Lepeli, occurs a passage under the date of November 8, 1748, satirizing Frederick, Prince of Wales and his “moronic” habits: “The Prince’s family is an example of cheerful and innocent amusements ... they divert themselves at baseball, a play all who have or have been, schoolbbys, are well acquainted with.” In Jane Austen’s “Northanger Abbey,” written about 1798, baseball is also mentioned as a favorite sport of the times. An even older reference is contained in “A Little Pretty Pocket-Book,” written in 1744. It pictures and describes 26 children’s sports, one for each letter of the alphabet. “B” is represented by “Baseball”. There were other names for the game in its primitive form, a popular one being in England and “one old cat” in the U. S. None of these facts, of course, detracts from Abner Doubleday’s contribution to the game as played today in the United States. His fixture of base locations and distances between bases, for example, has never been changed. Editorial written by Dick Heller w .1 ■ — ■ ■’ 1 " — — > " ■

$75 Savings Bonds Go On Sale May 1 A Reminder that the new $75 series E United States savings bond, bearing the portrait of the late President Kennedy, will go • on sale May 1, came today from i T. Graliker, county savings bonds chairman. i Decision to issue the $75 bond, which fills a gap in the lower-de-nomination range of savings bonds, was announced by the Vrtiite House late in January. The issue date of May 1 was fixed to coincide with the launching of “Operation Security,” a naL tionwide savings bonds campaign which runs until July 4. May 1 r is also the 23rd anniversary of i the issuance of the first series E bond. Purchase price of the new . bond, which will reach full redemption value in seven years and nine months, is $56.25. Graliker said that the new bond is not a “memorial” to the late president, in that it is no different from other denominations of savings bonds, all of which bear portraits of deceased chief executives. However, beneath the portrait of Mr. Kennedy are ‘carried the words from his inaugural address: “Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.” “The reproduction of this memorable statement on the face of the bond,” said Graliker, “is a fresh reminder that our citizens help strengthen their own security and, consequently, the security of their community and their country when they invest a portion of their savings in savings bonds.” ' Geneva Lady's Father Dies At Indianapolis Services for Raymond G. Locker, 76. father of Mrs. Wendell Long, Geneva, were held at 10:30 a.m. today in New Castle. Mr. Locker died Thursday evening in the General hospital, Indianapolis. Surviving with Mrs. Lx>ng, wife of the.. Geneva town board member and school teacher, are two other daughters, the wife, four sons and a sister. I _

Spending, Debt Trends Are On Upward Swing By LYLE C. WILSON 1 United Press International Government spending, tax collections and the public debt in the current 1964 fiscal year are running well ahead of a year ago. When the Treasury closed its books on the first nine months of fiscal ’64, it reported withdrawals of $94 billion, deposits of $87.1 billion and a public debt of $3lO billion. That was as of March 31. The corresponding figures for the first nine months of fiscal '63 were’ withdrawals $89.6 billion; deposits $81.7 billion; public debt $303 billion. Withdrawals approximate government spending. Deposits approximate tax collections. 1716 public debt shows precisely how much beyond its income the government has been living. Interest on the public debt is estimated to be $10.7 billion this year. Trends Are Upward Spending and debt trends definitely are upward. This is a Kennedy - Johnson fiscal year for which neither President is wholly responsible. President Johnson holds, that he has made big reductions in expenditures originally planned for fiscal 1965. Republican critics • contend that this has been achieved more by artistic bookkeeping and by shifting expenditures into the current fiscal year than by true economy. The outcome of this argument will be determined largely on the final figures for fiscal 1965, which will not be available until after June 30 of that year. Meantime, there is a red-ink flood tide. John F. Kennedy took office as President on Jan. 20, 1962. On Jan. 19 that year—the last day of the second Eisenhower administration—the public debt was approximately $290 billion. The 1961 interest was approximately $8.9 billion. Makes Comparison From the day JFK took office to the day he was shot, the public debt increased to $307.7 billion. From that latter day until March 31 of this year, the public debt increased to $3lO billion. The Johnson budget estimates that interest on the public debt in the current fiscal year will be $10.7 billion and that it will rise to slll billion next year. This is likely to prove to be an underestimate: To comprehend the enormity of the cost of the interest burden imposed by the public debt, consider: The average annual expenditure in each of the four years of Franklin D. Roosevelt's first New Deal administration was only $6.5 billion In fiscal years 1933-34-35-36, FDR spent $26.1 billion and he was beginning to be denounced as a spendthrift president. Services Are Held For Mrs. Ida Barr Services were held at 2 p.m. today at the Randolph Friends church, south of Ridgeville, for Ida E. Barr, 77, who died Friday after an extended illlness. ijdrs. Barr was the sister of Mrs. Hazel Nevil, Geneva. Survivors include the husband. Evert; a daughter, Mildred at home in Ridgeville; two sons Ivan and Delmar; a brother, Dayton Simmons, Portland; Mrs. Nevil, and several nieces and nephews. The T, -'v. Floyd Nevil, assisted by the Rev William Linville, officiated at the funeral. Burial was in the Reintenour cemetery, west of Deerfield.

Lincoln Cub Pack , Meets Last Week Lincoln Cub pack 3061 met Thursday night at the Lincoln school auditorium with an excellent attendance of both Cubs and parents. The meeting opened with the pack’s cubmaster, Judge Myles F. Parrish, leading the large group in the pledge to the flag. After reciting the pledge, the Cubs and parents sang “Hail, Hail, The Gang’s All Here,’’ accompanied on thfe piano by Mrs. Beulah Parrish. During the singing of the song, the pack was invaded by two “Tigers” who had escaped from the Lincoln Cub Scout circus. Wild animal trainer, Kenneth Erhart, finally captured the “beasts,” and the song continued. Chairman Erhart explained to the "frightened” Cubs that the escape of the “tigers” was only a publicity stunt, that the "tigers” weren’t tigers at all, but only a couple of the Cubs dressed up in tiger uniforms. He said that is what the public can expect to see at the Lincoln Cub Scout circus to be presented April 25 at the Decatur Youth and Community Center at the Limberlost Scout-O-Rama. Chairman Erhart and Judge Parrish stated that final arrangements have been completed and the pack is ready to present its “famous” five-ring circus to the public. Ticket sales are progressing at a good rate, and both scout leaders urged the public to cooperate with the boys when they call at homes in their ticket sale for the Scout-O-Rama. The following awards were presented by Erhart and Judge Parrish: Den I: Charles Merriman, 2-year pin, Lion Badge, 1 gold arrow and 1 silver arrow; Richard Butcher, 2-year pin: Howard Jones, 2-year pin; Keith Sharpe, 2-year pin; Bret Colter, “2-year pin; Roger Everett, 2-year pin; Ronnie Merriman, 2-year pin. Den III: Bruce Druetzler, wolf badge; Tom Gaunt, 1 gold arrow and 3 silver arrows. Den IV: Jon Doan, lion badge; Kim Erhart, 1 silver arrow and 1 gold arrow.

Cubs and officers of the pack, in appreciation of the outstanding job thafc he has done and is doing for the pack, as its chairmap. Judge Parrish voiced the sentiment of the entire group when he stated that “Chairman Erhart has devoted his entire time in promoting the Cub-Scout effort far and beyond the ordinary call of duty.” Next pack meeting will be held at Lincoln auditorium Thursday, May 7, at 7:30 p. m.

Two Minor Wrecks Reported In County Two one-car accidents, with no injuries resulting in either, were investigated ‘by deputy sheriff Harold August Saturday. The first mishap occurred at 7:45 p.m. on U. S. 27, a mile south of Decatur, when a car driven by Wilbur Delane Cook, 17, route 3, Decatur, struck an unidentified auto in the rear, as both were southbound. '"Cook said the car in front of his slowed, and his car struck the unidentified vehicle in the rear, but the car continued on. Damage to Cook’s car was estimated at just S2O. The second mishap happened at 11:50 p.m. on county road 26%, in St. Mary’s township, as a car operated- by James Slaten Rash, 16, of Monroe, left the road and struck a Citizens telephone pole. Rash was northbound when his vehicle went off the road on the right side. The car traveled approximately 100 feet before hitting the pole and snapping it off, and then went another 20 feet before coming to rest. Damages were estimated at S3OO to Rash’s 1963 model car by deputy August.
