'First' Abolitionist Honored At Ceremonies in Quakerdom
QUAKERDOM, Porter County— A man who is said to have been the first Abolitionist in the U.S. was honored in interracial ceremonies at his grave here recently An impressive memorial marker was unveiled in Quakerdom Cemetery, on State Road 6 a mile west ^of the county line between LaPorte and Porter Counties. It reads
quoted as asserting: “Mr. Osborn edited and published the anti-slavery n e w s p aper in the United States, and is thus entitled to the honor of bring counted the pioneer of latter-
day Abolitionism."
Another writer said: “Honorable George W. Julian of Indiana has transferred the credit from Benjamin Lundy to Charles Osborn as

went so far as to “disqualify” and remove from office Osborn and seven other p ominent members because they refused to withdraw
from anti-slavery activities. "The Quakers tlius suc-
cumbed to the power of slavery," wrote Julian." Among the rank and file of the body in Indiana there were doubtless very many irue anti-slav-ery men: but at the time of which I speak the chief rule's believed in colonization and

The original headstone on the grave of Charles Osborn was removed from the old Quaker cemetery and placed in the Porter County Historical Society Museum

IN A DEDICATORY tribute during the ceremony it was observed by Rev. Carl R. Hatfield, Pro'estant chaplaiki of Beatty Memorial Hospital at Westville: "I love America and feel that it is the greatest country on earth, but I would be fearful for her future if I ever doubted that she would ultimately secure freedom for al! her people. "How tragic it is when strong resistance, supported even by so-called Christian teaching, arouses the forces of anxiety and fear to deny this precious liberty and dignity to some of our own people. "We can be thankful that men like Charles Osborn have established bridgeheads or islands, where the meaning of brotherhood is better understood and more clearly demonstrated.” The entire July issue of the Indiana History Bulletin, published by the Indiana Historical Bureau in Indianapolis, is devoted to reports and photographs of the program, together with a biographical sketch of Indiana’s littleknown crusader against slavery, ACCORDING TO THE article by M. Fern Sprague, Osbom was born in North Carolina and in 181P moved to Wayne County, Indiana, “to get good but low-priceJ farm land where he could bring up his family beyond the land o slavery.” Three years earlier he had established a periodical called The Philanthropist, which advocated immvdlate emanetpatton- of the s’.aves and a boycott of slavemade products. The newspaper also opposed the colonization of the American Negroes in Africa, a plan which was much in vogue prior to the Civil War even among liberals. Indiana’s Civil War Congressman George W.

NYC Policemen Warned Racial Tension is 'Real' By SAMUEL P. PERRY JR. NEW YORK CITY (ANP)— Speaking to a group of police officials recently. Police Commissioner Stephen P. Kennedy warned them that they would have to face the reality of racial tension in the huge metropolis “where virtually every ethnic group and every race is represented.” He fur her cautioned against the maintenance by police officers of “cynical and stereotyped attitudes.” 1 Commissioner Kennedy c o mmented, “The streets of the city must not be turned into courtrooms with the police or mobs serving as judge and jury. “Curbstone justice is not justice at all: mob ru4e mocks justice and leads to anarchv.” The police official asserted that police thinking in stereotypes was a disease which rational men had to avoid. “When you think in stereotypes,” he said, “you condemn a group for the sins of a few. To do this would tend to alienate public sympathy and support, and if the public does not support the police, what good are police? None at all.”
If you are a lover of the great outdoors and don’t want snakebite to spoil your fun. choose your camp site in Maine or Alaska. Those are the only two states in the Union where there are ho poisonous snakes. Most of the 35 poisonous species known in the U. S. are pit vipers, which include rattlers, copperheads, and water moccasins. About 3.000 people are bitten by snakes each year. Fortunately, deaths are few, no more than 10 or 20 a year. However, outdoor activities like camping, hiking and picnicking are getting more popular. High boots or leggings and a stick to explore underbrush before moving into it are wise. Usually bites occur out in the wilds with no doctor nearby, so the victim himself or a companion should be able to apply first aid. THE IMPORTANT THING is to keep calm and keep the victifti quiet to avoid pumping the poison rapidly through the blood stream.
Then apply a tight bandage to restrict the spread of the poison. This is not a tourniquet and shouldn’t be too tight. The poison is just under the skin. Make an X-shaned cut over each fang mark and use suction to remove the venom. A suction cup should be part of an outdoor first aid kit, or the poison can be sucked into the mouth and spit out. Keep up for a half hour or hour. If the swelling advances beyond the bite, cuts should be made at^he edge of the swelling and more suction applied. Move the bandage,
too.
Snakebite is always a medical emergency. It is more serious for the very young or the very old, but luckily they are less likely to be within reach of poisonous snakes. The effects of snakebite may include vomiting, shock, muscular twitching, blood coagulation difficulties and internal hemorrhage. If he gets safely through the first 48 hours, the patient is usually out of danger.
Eyes Have It — Use 'Em To Read Traffic Patterns
A teaspocmful of cornstarch improves the tex ure of fudge. * ¥ * A few drops of lemon juice added to the rice while it is boiling will keep the grains separate and make he rice white.
In driving a car, the eyes have it—they control 90 ercent of all movements rnd decisions behind the wheel. With a little effort and practice any driver can learn “selective seeing.” This method of using your eyes to the best advantage enables you to “read” the traffic pattern at a glance. Here are some steps in selective seeing that make use of all the areas of your vision, fringe or ride, as well as main or central sight: Aim your vision high, not just in front of your own car. Keep your central vision moving over the foreground, background, and sidegroend for a block ahead in towns, half a mile ahead on country roads. This way your fringe vision first sees an object, central vision identifies it KEEP YOUR EYES MOVING. A fixed stare becomes a blank stare. At night, avoid staring at the bright spot your headlights make. Along the super-highways, watch out for “highway hypnosis.” If you’re really groggy, pull off the road and take a nap. Make sure the other driver sees
you. Blow your horn or flash your lights if 'in doubt. Get in the correct turning lane early apd check in the rear mirror to make sure the driver behind you gets the idea. Be sure you have an out. Even if you’re right, the other driver can get you in trouble. Keep a space cushion around j^our car when possible, especially on slippery roads None of the rules will do you any good if your vision isn’t up to par. That includes seeing objects clearly, good depth perception, proper field of vision and good night vision. Have your eyes examined regularly. Vision should be checked by an expert who can recommend corrections where possible.
