Cut those Lawns and Lots! Every summer many Decatur people thoughtlessly allow their yards and vacant lots to grow over in weeds and grass, to the detriment of hay fever sufferers, asthma victims, and the beauty of our city. Decatur has a city ordinance requiring you to keep your lawn and lots mowed and trimmed. Formal notices may be mailed to owners, and if the weeds are not cut within the allotted time, city workers are to be detailed to cut the weeds and grass. In neighboring Van Wert, Mayor C. Dan Pennell has stressed the importance of people getting their own yards mowed. Theyi charge at the rate of $8 an hour if city help has to cut the grass, and they do not want to be in the lawn-mowing business! u The service is solely for those who will not or do not make an effort to control weeds and grass on their own properties. It seems a shame that those who desire neat, clean lawns and gardens should have all of their hard work destroyed by one careless, thoughtless individual, as millions of weed seeds blow over town from weedy, uncut lawns and lots. It’s just too bad that the penalty for allowing weeds to grow cannot be some kind of injection of pollen that would cause the violator the pain and misery that hay fever sufferers must put up with. The privilege of living in a nice, clean town is so great that no one should feel obliged to allow his own property to become run down and weedy. . . A friend of ours drives through Frankenmuth, Mich., every month or so. This clean, German town makes a regular practice out of beautifying the entire town, not only their own yards. Wellkept flowers grace the fronts of stores, and a stroll down the main street is a real pleasure. Only our own apathy keeps us from developing the same sort of inter-state reputation that Frankenmuth and other cities have for cleanliness and neatness. • The least we can do is to keep up our property. Sure, it’s a burden to mow that empty lot. It is much easier, and cheaper, to let it grow. So it looks like a hay field — who cares ? Well, your neighbors care. They work hard to cifear out their weeds, improve and rebuild their homes, mow their yards. They don’t appreciate uncut fields of weeds nearby to negate every effort. A little bit of work by each individual will J help make Decatur a greater city! ----- f Editorial written by Dick Heller

Colleges Seek More Funds For Improvements INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) -Indiana’s four state-supported universities and colleges submitted construction and repair budgets Monday asking the 1965 Legislature for $56.5 million, an increase of 20 per cent over their 1963 requests and nearly three times as much as thd® received. The requests included $21.9 million for Indiana University, $19.6 million for Purdue University, $8.7 million for'Ball State College, and $6.2 million for Indiana State College. Two years ago the schools asked the 1963 Legislature for $47.8 million. The legislature approved S2O million, and the legal skirmish over the validity of the sales tax law prevented them from drawing much of that money last year. “We feel impelled to remind all concerned,” a Joint statement of the school presidents said, “that deficiencies and delays in appropriations can only have the effect of greatly intensifying already critical shortages of space which have been growing in the wake of increas- ' ing enrollments, inflation, inadequate capital funds and the rapid progress of research.” The budgets were based on educated guesses that enrollment at the schools will increase nearly 70 per cent between now and 1972. <} The budget requests filed with state budget director Jack E. Booher did not include $9 million which Indiana University sought separately for construction of a general hospital at its medical center in Indianapolis, for remodeling the dental school and other work at the center. Regional campuses operated by the schools were not included. Neither were the operating budgets. Purdue’s operating budget for the 1964-65 fiscal year alone was set at $75.6 million, an increase of $8.5 million or 12.8 per cent over the $67 million budgeted for the current fiscal year. The school presidents estimated Indiana’s enrollment would climb from nearly 20,000 now to nearly 39,000; Purdue’s from 17,400 to more than 27,000; Ball State’s from 9,000 to more than 18,000, and Indiana State’s from nearly 7,000 to more than by 1972. * “We are currently operating physical plants at a higher percentage of capacity than practically any of the colleges and universities in the nation,” a joint statement of the presidents said. “Moreover, all four schools make such heavy use of the summer periods as to be approaching year-around operation.” Driver's License Suspended Month The driver’s license of David Lee Weiland, of Decatur route 3, was suspended by the Indiana bureau of motor vehicles for one month on a reckless driving charge. The effective date was from April 29 to May 29.

Sharp Controversy On Sex Approach

By LOUIS "CASSELS United Press International Theologian Reinhold Niebuhr said recently that churches need to do some “radical rethinking” of their approach to sex. Few pastors would argue with that statement. They are confronted on all sides with evidence that young people are either ignorant or disdainful of Judeo - Christian sexual ethics. But there is sharp controversy, especially in Protestant circles, about what should be done to make religious teachings a real factor in adolescent decisions about dating behavior. Some Protestant liberals contend that the church, in order to be “relevant,” must cease to pronounce a blanket condemnation on premarital intercourse. Emphasize Love Instead of taking a “legalistic” stand against sex relations outside of marriage, these liberals say, the church should emphasize the Christian teaching that all human, relationships are to be love. The real sin of cMm intimacies, according to this viewpoint, lies in explortffifc ahbther human person for thb Satisfaction of selfish desired. An entirely different diagnosis of the, church’s failure to influence the sexual codes -of young people comes from Dr. Robert E. Fitch, professor o f Christian ethics at the Pacific School of Religion, Berkeley, Calif. Dr. Fitch says it’s absurd to speak of sexual promiscuity as a "modern” problem. The revolt against moral restraints on sexual appetites is as old as history. “The only thing new about our contemporary situation,” says Dr. Fitch, “is the attitude of futility among those who should be the guardians of mor-, ality. Adults who ought to be providing guidance are lost in an orgy of open - mindedness. Ethics Forgotten “No previous generation of young people has had such an enormous and detailed amount of information available to ,it concerning the scientific facts about sex. And probably none has been left so ignorant of and so undisciplined in the ethical essetials.” Dr. Fitch thinks that young people are rapidly becoming disillusioned with the sexual . freedom which “open - minded” adults insist on giving them.

Instead of feeling liberated from old- fashioned taboos, he says, boys and girls feel that they are “losing control of their lives.” “They are having babies when they ■ don’t want them. They are getting marrifed before they really want to. They are taking jobs before they are adequately prepared for them. This is the ‘new freedom.’ But freedom is precisely what is being lost — the freedom really to choose to get married, to choose to have a baby, to choose to take a jb.”

Troubles In Aden Just Beginning

By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst Since the days of the Romans the port of Aden at the tip of the Arabian Peninsula has been a trading link between Asia and Europe. Today, in the hands of the British it is a strategic military base guaranteeing the flow of oil from the Persian Gulf, and the site of an oil refinery capable of processing five million tons of oil per year. It also is a plum ardently desired by President Gamal Abdel Nasser of the United Arab Republic. > In _recent weeks have occurred events which in British eyes are not mere coincidence. In neighboring Yemen, where for more than a year his troops have been deeply in volved, Nasser told cheering tribesmen: “We swear by God to expel Britain from all parts of the Arab world. We shall shed blood and sacrifice souls . . .” Get Modern Arms And in the South Arabian Federation, of which Aden is a part, the tribesmen whom Britain has been battling for a century suddenly were striking with modern arms, mortars and automatic weapons. The weapons could only come from outside sources, and the British were convinced they came from the United Arab Republic via the Republic of Yemen. As usual in the tangled affairs of the Middle East, the ramifications spread far beyond the desolate volcanic rock and

Three Bicycles Are Reported As Stolen The city police are investigating the theft of bicycles that have occurred since last Friday. John Baker, of 703 N. Fifth St., reported Monday evening that his bicycle had been stolen from the rack at Worthman Field around 8:30 p. m. The bicycle was black with a chrome front fender and a white back fender, and was valued at S4O. Robert Hahn, of 928 W. Mar. shall St., had a bicycle stolen from near the Moose home last Friday. The 26-inch, cream and brown bike was valued at $25. Teddy Loshe, of 1417 N. Second street, had his bicycle stolen Sunday from his residence. The Western Flyer model was red with chrome fenders.

the barren mountains and sand which make up the Aden protectorate and the sultanates, emirates and sheikhdoms composing the South Arabian Federation. In Yemen, Nasser has tied up close to 40,000 of his armed forces, a third of his military strength. An operation undertaken to protect the new Republic pf Yemen after the overthrow of the monarchy and at first expected to be of short duration had. turned 6ut to be a quagmire, costly to the Egyptian economy and unpopular at home. With all the effort, Yemeni republican forces and the Egyptians -still were able to control only Yemen’s cities. Desert tribesmen still rallied to the deposed monarchy. For Nasser the time was approaching when either .he had to win in Yemen or get out with resulting damage to his aspirations for Arab unity. Has Advantages Despite the difficulties involved there were certain advantages for Nasser. - A victory in Yemen would go a long way toward eventual control of the Red Sea and would lead directly into the oilrich sheikhdoms of the South Arabian Federation. In the British he had a natural target for his favorite themes against colonialism and imperialists, doubly so since the area involved once was held by Yemen and still is claimed by the Yemen government. ; In Yemen it was noteworthy that "Nasser did not attack Saudi Arabia, which has supported the deposed monarchy. New discussions with Saudi Arabia afe pending and success there would contribute to success in Yemen. Britain’s troubles in Aden may be just beginning.

You, Your Child And The School

By DAVID NYDICK UPI Education Specialist The possibility of not being promoted to the next grade (retention) will be considered for many students during the next few months. In order for nonpromotion to be successful there must be careful planning and evaluation. A student who spends another year in a grade will not necessarily be successful. It is reasonable to expect that the original failure was caused by one or more problems. Unless these problerrfe are corrected there is little reason to believe that the retention will do any good. This leads us to the need of a complete evaluation of the student. Health often affects achievement. A thorough physi. cal examination including a dental, sight, and hearing check is indicated. In addition it is wise to consider the student’s health habits such as sleeping, eating, and other general practices. Naturally, these require the assistance of a physician, dentist, etc. Measure Achievement Academic achievement must be measured. This can befct ibe accomplished by combining the. teacher’s judgment with a series of standardized and diagnostic tests. The purpose is to discover the student’s areas of weakness and to determine the extent of his learning problems. The school psychologist should evaluate the student’s emotional and social makeup." It is also valuable to obtain an estimate of the child’s ability. The psychologist’s study should also involve an interview with the parents. and others involved with the child. Several other factors must be considered in order to complete the picture, -The child’s age, physical size, athletic ability, social relationships, motor co□rdination, and general maturity are all important parts which must affect the decision. After all the information is gathered, it should be coordinated by the principal, psychologist, guidance counsellor or other qualified professionals. It would be even better if the matter were discussed by a team of these individuals including

the teacher and parent at some point. It is important to remember that research shows that retention is not successful in the average situation. This does not mean that some children do not benefit. The child who is misplaced socially, academically and physically has a better chance to benefit from retention than the child who is misplaced in only one of these areas. Various Alternatives There are various alternatives to retention which should be considered. The child who has been absent a great deal may be helped by tutoring. ' A child who has a sight or hearing probe may need special training throughout his school career. A child with an emotional problem may need psychological treatment. If retention is necessary, it should be done in the lower grades. This is where the basic skills are being taught. A solid background in these skills is necessary for successful achievement in the upper grades. Learning problems are unnecessarily emphasized unless 7 they are corrected in the earljf gr|d«. i The parent can be most helpful when a child is retained. The child will need much encouragement. He needs to know that his parents still love him. He is not a disgrace but rather he is now in a position where he can be successful. He must feel that everyone is working with him.
