All you have to do is he down with youi feet higher than your head. You can lie on the floor with 3 firm pilows under your feet, 2 under y>ur hips and none under p»ur head. The slanted position provides active rest for your body, relieving tension and fatigue, so that tired feet and legs feel frisker; pangs in the shoulders and neck quite down. As a result, your spine stretches tall and straight and this improves your posture. There's a good flow of bh(i>d throughout the body which brings a glow to the skin. Now you are ready to take your wife out for dinner or maybe she will even treat you to dinner. On November .5. we Hoosier voters go to the polls and we will have a referendum question before us. "Shall Bari- Mutul Betting Be Permitted in this State'."’ Although a referendum in Indiana is advisory and not binding on the General Assembly both proponents and opponents recognize that the expression from the people will be influential when the legislators gather again in Indianapolis in January. Hist irically the Indiana Constitution adopted in 18.51 prohibited the eslabli.'hmcnt of a state lottery. Successive legislatures hav • resisted strong pressures Vo legalize other forms of gambling and now the focus is upon allowing betting at horse racing events in the state. Bills looking in this direction have several times been intHduced in the General Assembly. They have never passed either house, but in 1967 the referendum idea was accepted. Chief among the advocates of the Part-Mutual system are the Indiana Thoroughbred Association. the Anderson H'orsemens Association, and some leaders in county fair boards. They argue that legalizing pari-mutuels will simulate the breeding of racing stock, piwide income for state government, expand tourism and enable govenment to control gambling more adequately. Strongest opposition is coming from the Indiana Council of Churches and the Indiana Farm Bureau with important assistance from educators, law enforcement officers, business men. six ial workers and a number of legislators. leaders of 4-H clubs are among the concerned. They

dislike th^ idea of gambling being inserted in county fairs oc th*' gn.it Indian t Sf.ite Fair where 4-H’ers exhibit in large numbers. Come November .5, Vot Indiana's 1968 wheat crop, estimated at 41.3 million bushels, is expected to average 38 bushels an acre-one more that the 1967 average yield.
