LB J Sees Poverty F irst-Han d By REP. JOHN W McCORMACK Speaker. UA House of Representativet Lyndon Johnson has brought hope to Appalachia. A man who always wants to see fyr him«?lf. he chose to go behind the statistics to the suffering they pinpoint. _

John W. McCormack

In parts of Alabama. Georgia. Kentuckv. Maryland. North Carolina, Pennsylvania. South Carolina. Virginia and West Virginia there are few roads to travel, few radios and television sets to bring in news, few factories to hire the unemployed. Appalachia's economy was based on coal. As automation revolutionized the coal industry, new products cut down the demand for eoal. Thousands of mines and allied industries that depended on them fell idle. Men who would willingly learn new skills find no new industries coming in to replace the mines. Factories are not attracted to an area without highways, electric power and a trained work force. This is the challenge which President Johnsor is meeting. On his trips into Appalachia, the President realized that the crucial need was for hope. And that he could give. As President of the United States he is leader of the “other America" as well as of the more affluent segments of our society. So be went to Appalachia as a man to whom a out miner could talk—despite the awesome power of tko Presidency. On a ramshackle porch Johnson asked questions and got answers and the miner knew be d met a man who understood poverty and who could sense the helplessness of a father caught in its vicious cycle. Federal aid now going, into stopgap relief is costing half a billion dollars a year. This money can only hold ott the immediate threat* ot malnutrition and complete collapse—it cannot change the status auo. It cannot give the poor new jobs so they can participate in our free enterprise system. After his first visit to Appalachia the President proposed to Congress a $238 million program to blast through the wails, sending highways into previously inaccessible hamlets, developing natural resources, preventing floods, and training workers for the industries that will follow the highways in to build their factories. He approved a comprehensive regional development plan to oe guided by a commission. If this is enacted, the relief lines will dwindle, the supermarket lines will lengthen Industrial and personal profits will rise. 1 Know that Americans ot all political shades of conviction will see the eminent good sense ot the President s plan and will give him then whole-hearted support.

Control with insecticides should begin soon after bagworms hatch from over-wintering eggs. Larvae hatch the last part of May or first of June in this ajea. An application of malathion at a rate of two to four teaspoons per gallon ot water should be used. This material should not be applied to cannaert junipers. Other materials suggested as effective are diazinon and lead arsenate. Bagworms live in spindle shaped silken bags, often fastened with

bits of twigs, foliage and berries from the host plants. As the caterpillars grow they enlarge the bag until they mature in midAugust. Many injuries resulting from use of power mowers come from direct contact with the machine. However, a surprising number are caused by objects thrown by the machine blade. When starting your mower, stand firmly and make certain your feet are in a safe position. Don’t allow bystanders or pets near the mower when starting or operating it. Inspect your lawn before mowing, make sure there are no stones, wires, sticks or other debris in the lawn. A rotary mower can hurl such objects toith killing force.

Habegger Cow Has Top Production

Mr. and Mrs. Martin Habegger and Son, route 1, Monroe, were recognized on WKJG-TV Sunday evening on a feature program called “Milky Weigh.” 1 The Adams county dairyman was presented a large dairy trophy for having a cow that produced the largest amount of milk at one evening milking. Their cow, named “Maxine Mutual,” produced 68 pounds at one milking. There were four other Adams countv dairymen who competed in this contest, they are as follows: Ben and Noah Mazelin, route 1/ Berne, cow named “Johanna,” produced 39 pounds of milk;. Harry Wulliman, route 1. Berne, cow named “Merryfield Duke Roxiana,” produced 52.2 pounds; Norman Becher, route 1. Berne, cow named “Shirley,”* produced 48.5 pounds of milk; Clem Wulliman and Yager, near Geneva, cow named “Ruby Ann," produced 41 pounds at one milking. This contest was held throughout northeastern Indiana in recognizing the month of June as dairy month. Various dairies in the Fort Wayne area sponsored this program,’ with Wayne Rothgeb, WKJG farm service director, coordinator. Hoosiers Hope For Needed Rainfall By United Press International Clouds over Indiana strained today to produce badly needed moisture but their efforts fell far short of requirements. _ Despite a general overcast and indications that clouds contained a bumper crop of rain, only a pittance pattered on scattered areas. By 7 a.m., Lafayette had .05, Terre Haute .01, and Cincinnati .01. There was a trace at* Indianapolis. Farmers in some areas are expressing anxiety. Although subsoil moisture is generally adequate from abnormally heavy rains in March and April, May was dry. Indianapolis had 1.42 inches in May, well below normal. But Franklin, for example, only 22 miles from the capital city, measured only .28 of an inch and lawns are as brown as they were in the late summer and fall drought last year. forecasts were not hopeful for aporeciable relief. No rain was scheduled through Thursday, at least. Temperatures were expected to remain mild to cool. Highs Monday ranged from 70 at Fort Wayne to 75 at Evansville, overnight lows this morning from 43 at South Bend to 55 at Indianapolis-—. : --

Purple rennmgs By Patsy Lee Leaders County Extension Agent Home Economics 4-H Leaders please don’t forget June 5 — that is the day of our day training session for the new judging activity. . '* STRAWBERRIES TO SERVE AND FREEZE: Sweet, juicy red strawberries are ripe and ready to please the family, says Miriam Eads, Purdue University food specialist. While these bright berries are available all year, frozen, fresh berries now are appearing in abundance. To pick the best, look for fresh, cleant bright berries with a good color. The cap and a portion of the stem still should be attached, adds Miss Eads, since strawberries lose much of their food value when hulled. Calorie counters may be surprised to learn that a whole cup of unsweetened strawberries contain only 55 calories —about the same as half a grapefruit. These berries are such a good source of ascorbic acid, that a handful < half a cup, to be more accurate) would supply two-thirds of an adult's daily vitamin C needs. Let your thoughts stray to mouthwatering strawberry pies and other desserts, salads,, ice cream toppings, cold milk drinks and breakfast compotes, suggests hte specialist. Combine strawberries and cottage cheese for a salad that's low in calories, but high in flavor. Blend the cottage cheese and strawberries together, top with chopped fresh mint leaves, and serve on lettuce leaves. Make two strawberry smoothie milk shakes with 1 cup. strawberries, 1 cup milk, Vz pint vanilla ice cream and cup honey. Combine all ingredients and whip with a blender or electric mixer. If using a mixer, slice or mash berries first. If you want to '.freeze strawberries for future use, wash and hull them. You may leave them whole or slice them, as you prefer. Use one of the three methods of freezing outlined below: Pack dry and unsweetened in moi c ture-vapor-proof containers, leaving one-half inch head space. Pack with sugar, sprinkling % cup sugar over each quart of fruit. Turn fruit over and over until sugar dissolves and juice forms. About % quart of berries yields one pint when frozen. Pack in a container, leaving Vz inch head space. Or, pack with cold sugar syrup. To prepare syrup combine 4 % cups sygar with four cups water (either hot or cold). Cover berries with cold syrup.

Empire State Building Lights U|) For World's Fair

The tower of the world’s tallest building sprang to, glowing life last month when officials threw a switch illuminating the top 30 stories of the Empire State Building as a salute to the New York World’s Fair. Work on the spectacular lighting had been rushed to completion in time to welcome the unusually large number of people who will be visiting New York during the two years, of the Fair. Now visitors arriving in New York during darkness will see i the famous silhouette of the Empire State Building hanging suspended like a sparkling crystal chandelier far above the glittering lights of New York. The lights will be on from dusk until 2 A.M. daily with the lighting cycle controlled by an astronomical clock. There is no interference in any way with the famous Empire State Building Observatory’s panoramic view of New York City after dark.

that infest flour, cake mixes, and other foods stored in the home are on. the increase, say Purdue University extension entomologists. The problem is reported to be nation - wide and many authorities believe that the increased use of dry dog foods and bird seeds have something to do with it. These items, popular with dog owners and bird lovers, are often kept in loose boxes or packages. The materials' become readily infested and later the insects spread to cereal products, dried fruits, nuts and many other items kept in the kitchen cabinet. Os course, there are other sources of infestation and in some instances, packaged food may become infested during the sometimes long interval between manufacture and sale. Any one of several kinds of cereal feeding and related insects may cause trouble. The most common are tiny brown beetles or small buff colored moths. In either case, the larvae are wormlike, often the color of the material in which they feed, and are difficult to see. Entomologists suggest the following ways to prevent or eliminate infestations: Purchase cereals and other susceptible foods in small quantities so that partly used packages are not left for tong periods on the pantry shelf. Keep bird seeds, dog foods and other cereal products in tin or glass containers with tight fitting lids. Clean cabinet shelves and storage* spaces frequently to remove spilled foods on which the insects thrive. If infestations are found, dispose of the contaminated material, and clean and wash cabinet shelves with soapy water. Spray lightly with a 5 per cent DDT-oil spray, allow to dry and put in new shelf papers. Do not allow the DDT to contact foods or cooking utensils. Retail Division Elects Directors Tom Weis, publicity chaiman for the retail division of the Decatur Chamber of Commerce, announced this morning those who were recently elected to the board of directors of the retail division. Newly - elected members are the following: Dan Freeby, George Litchfield, Paul Strickler, Mike Kohne, Al Beavers, Ferris Bower, Edward Heimann, Morris Begun, Bonnie Worthman, Kay Boch, Jus'in Bleeke, Carl Gerber and - Jerry Dagler. Several other items of upcoming business were discussed at a recent meeting, including plans for a sale to be held by the merchants during this summer’s street fair, a second annual horse show and the annual sidewalk sale.

Declining Economy Suffered By Czechs

By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst At a point near the Czecho-slovak-Austrian border, so the story in Prague goes, a comrade saw his friend Jaroslav marching along, carrying a flag of the United States and singing the Star Spangled fanner. According to this highly imaginative yarn, the amazed comrade asked Jaroslav what he was doing. ■ “I am carrying the American flag and singing the Star Spangled Banner,” replied Jaroslav “But during the war you were marching in this same place carrying a Russian flag and singing the Communist Internationale.” “Yes," said Jaroslav calmly, “and the Russians got here, too, didn’t they.” This bit of underground Czech Shaslri Named Successor To Premier Nehru NEW DELHI (UPD—LaI Bahadur Shastri, a virtual unknown outside India, today was elected unanimously by the ruling Congress party to succeed Jawaharlal Nehru as prime minister of this pivotal ■ Asian power. The diminutive, soft-spoken Shastri immediately warned that India faces a “great crisis” and he called for unity among the country’s 462 million people in working toward a socialist society. The Congress party met for only 10 minutes to put the formal stamp on Shastri whose designation had been indicated by Nehru and agreed upon in advance after three days of political wrangling. The party made a show of unity when former Finance Minister Morarji Desai, Shastri’s principal rival for the top post, seconded the nomination made by Gulzarilal Nanda, who took over as caretaker prime minister when Nehru died last Wednesday. The choice was greeted by cheering and deskthumping. Desai, Nanda and Congress party President Kumara all pledged their- full support to Shastri in his momentous task of filling Nehru’s shoes at a time of domestic and external trial for India. ? Shastri, 59, who is barely five feet tall, is the son of a village schoolteacher and has never been outside the Indian subcontinent. Though he has been serving as deputy prime minister since Nehru suffered a stroke last January, his experience has been completely with “7

MILLION-DOLLAR JAGUARNOT FOR SALE! At the time Rome fell, another city, another great civilization was rising—half way around the world. The center of the first Mayan Empire, Chichen Itza, lifted its great pyramids above the forests of the Yucatan Peninsula on the east coast of Mexico in the fifth century, a.d. Deep within the largest pyramid is a chamber dominated by a throne in the shape of 9 red jaguar, spotted with inserts of green jade. The Mexican government refused $1,000,000 for it 30 years ago! Far to the north stand the remains of another ancient city, Teotihuacan, which housed 250,000 people in 700 A.b. And only 35 miles from there is a modem capital of today’s world—Mexico City. Here, the tall buildings are examples of the best in modern architecture. Commerce and industry, theater and the arts, education and medicine, people and customs—all are of today’s world. Knowledge of our modem neighbor is important today. Send for the free 16-page booklet, “Know Mexico,” Box 1900, New York 19.

humor has its counterparts among others of the East European Communist satellites but is particularly noteworthy in Czechoslovakia where increasingly vocal unrest has placed the hard-line Communist leadership at the point of a twoedged sword. Economy Declines The other edge of the sword is a declining economy which last year saw a fall of more than one per cent in industrial production and an equal fall in national income. It came as a shock to Czechs used to considering themselves the most economically advanced of the East European nations. The consequence of this rude surprise has been a number of corrective steps, some of them remarkably non-Communist i n character. One has been a return to limited private enterprise permitting Czechs to operate their own fruit, refreshment and souvenir stands, to enter delivery and messenger services and to operate such other service facilities as laundry and car wash. Shakeup In Industry In the industrial field, new attention to be paid to the relationship between supply and demand, wage and price policies are to be shaken pp apparently with a greater "eye on workers’ incentives, factory managers are to be given greater authority instead of acting merely as messenger boys for state planners. But the greatest change of all has come in Czechoslovakia’s eagerness to win Western hard currencies through tourism. Highways and railways are being improved. Ancient castles are being restored. Tourist visas are easy to get. All this entails a risk. Czech youth, anxious for American music and Western styles, occasionally also expresses itself in violence against the government. One such recently poked his head into an automobile containing visiting A/nericans. “You don’t know how lucky you are,” he said. national politics, thus making him a stranger to other capitals of the world. It was considered unlikely that the new prime minister would be sworn in before the national period of mourning for Nehru ends June 8. The self-effacing Shastri is a champion of political compromise. Part of Shastri’s strength lies in his role as the party’s peacemaker and compromiser. He has no known political enemies, and observers say he is the best man to prevent political chaos.
