Our country was founded on the ruht t > siv wn u one beleives . . . but saving and doing what one flunks should still fall under the laws that have protet ted us for some 2(H) years before these protesters came al >ng who want to answer to n<> one and abide by only their own laws. Much of our judicial problems oxer the veins have stemmed f’.nn de * ions of tin 1 Supreme court H d more of these m^n 1. i the desire and convictions of Judge Hoffman, maybe this situation would never gotten as far out of hand as it is today. Signs now point to a bad summer. Already trouble has broken out around the country bet ause of the ruling, but the decisions handed down were a must and more will be necessary. We are rapidly approaching a point of no laxv enforcement at all if some power isn't restored to the various law enforcement agencies. This would be a giant step backwards and make our nation a land of nothing. destroying txvo hundred years of progress and advancement by people many times more intelligent than those who arc fighting it today. Progress is based on intelligence, hard work, respect and love for the fellow man while protest and riots are based on ignorance, laziness, and no respect or love for anyone other than themselves. Some day America will rise up and stamp out these leaches of our society.
sacrifices those hax’e, who has worked hard for a long time, has gained something in their young that many others will never knoxv. It isn't just basketball, it is many things that offers this challenge and it is many who accept it. Over the years the State of Indiana has added a wide variety of programs on state competition for the youth to compete in. Whether it be a sports event, music contest or math or latin contest, the same type of effort is needed in each one. Whether physical or mental effort has been extended. or both, the work given will return much more in life to the person than they will realize today.

He was attracted by a sound that seemed like an explosion. which caused him to look toward the elevator and seeing flames in the office he gave the alarm. Sleet Storm Worst In 35 Year* The sleet storm which struck northern Indiana last xveek has been estimated by the telephone and telegraph companies to be the worst in 35 years. Voic° Os Thp To The Democratic Chairman of Indiana As one who has served in the Judiciary and legislative branch of our State government, and studied the philosophy of governments in foreign lands, I ahi com erned about the future of our government I have observed that in the National Legislature, there are those who would lead us to socialism There are those who would lead us to surrender our liberties There are those who do not agree with Thomas Jes ferwon when he said. "Liberty can exist and must exist totally " J heir are those who would lead
us to give aid and comfort to the enemy. All of which is prohibited and expressly so provided in the 14th Amendment. Paragraph 3 of the United States Constitution. The democrat party should seek legislators who will fight to preserve our freedom and restore law and order. let us not forget what Nikita Khrushchev said a few years ago. He said. "We cannot expect the Americans to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving Americans small doses of Socialism. until they suddenly awake to find they have Communism.” The situation in Northern Ireland is illustrated. They arc the same people* with the same belief except differ in their beliefs in that the majority deny any rights to the minority, because they oppose their belief. The democrat party should reenthrone the soul and spirit of our great Thomas Jefferson when he said that, "Liberty comes from God and our forefathers breathed that part in our Constitution by limiting the power of the government to set ire the blessings of liberty.” The father of our country, George Washington, when he was in dire need, said to the loyal American, "Put none but patriots on guard tonight.” Today, our beloved America seems to be experiencing the same night, the same darkness, in so far as our Constitutional government is concerned. So. I repeat, that Washington's warning is more than fitting today. Thus, put none but patriots in our legislative halls, who will fight Juvenile Delinquency, and preseme our republic. As I stated in my book Delinquency, "There Is An Answer.” Problems created by man can be solved by man. John S. Gon as RAINBOW GIRLS NEED YOUR HELP How much does a fire truck cost?

Main Street Gossip Spring fever! With the beautiful weather that we have been experiencing over the past week end and the first of the week, it gives a person Spring Fever. With this being Tourney week, anything can happen. —Ms G — The Falcons and Shamrocks will battle it out on Thursday evening, February 26 at 8:15 p.m. in the Sectional Basketball Tournament being held at LiVille High School. The winner of this game will play the wanner of the game to be played at 7 p.m. on Thursday, at 1:45 p.m. on Saturday. The winner of this game will play in the Sectional Championship game on Saturday evening, February 28 at 8:15 p.m. Plan on attending. —M£ G — Robins have been sighted. _MS G — If you haven't noticed, this will be the third week that a committee man or woman has been featured in the Independent who are serving on the Summer Festival Committee. t- M S G — These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated. Every spot of the world is overrun with oppression. Freedom has been hunted, around the Globe. O! ye thrtt loved mankind! Ye that dare oppose not only tyranny but the tyrant, stand forth! O! receive the fugitive, and prepare in time an asylum for mankind. —MB 0 — My Neighbors a n <su*oyf "He’s a post-nasal drip!”
