■ HHuH MMUgKM&wmvgmzy .'imii'l JBhdbkH M Jj

Otis R. Bowen, M. D., Bremen physician, announced today that he will seek renomination for State Representative of Marshall County on the Republican ticket. Dr. Bowen served in the 1957 session of the legislature; he was defeated in the Democrat landslide of 1958 by only four votes (1/10 of one vote per precinct). He, however, was re-elected in 1960 and served in the 1961 session of the legislature. In 1957 he served on five com mittees including Public Health, Agriculture, County and Township Business, Cities’ and Towns’ Business, Public Safety, and World War Memorial. In the 1961 session, besides being chairman of the Public Health Committee, he served on the Labor, Education, Benevolent and Penal Institutions, and Judiciary B. Committees. Dr. Bowen was influential in the passage of bills that prescribed better control of narcotics and dangerous drugs and increased the penalty for narcotic peddling;

UNCLE EB from EBENEZER Says:

DEAR MISTER EDITOR: The feller that runs the country store announced Saturday night he’d appreciate gitting his two-bits worth into the conversation fer a change. Asa general rule he don’t take no part with the fellers solving the world problems ever week, but Saturday night he was chomping at the bit about spending all his time keeping store records fer them tax agencies. He claims things is worse now than they was back when the OPA was regulating prices. He. recollected that back in 1946 when the OPA removed price ceilings on cowbells, bullrings, horseshoes and cocktail shakers, he wrote ’em that he didn’t have no cocktail shakers. They told him to git some. He said things has went from there to worse and today he don’t know whether the tax folks owns his business or he owns it. All he knows fer shore, he claims, is that he waits on a customer now and then when he can find time from tending his tax books. He allowed as how he was voting agin all candidates in the next election and aimed to shoot the first one that tried to leave any cards or literature in his store. He claimed the only political propagander ever left at his store that was worth reading was a handbill a feller running fer Sheriff come by and left him about 30 years ago. It seems a drunk printer was trying to set a patent medicine ad and the handbill at the same time. He got the handbill out of a bottom drawer and read it to the fellers: “I wish to announce to the voters of this county that fer 25 year I have suffered from asthma and lumbago on the Democratic ticket and thought they was no cure fer me until I heard of the office of county Sheriff, for which my doctor advised me to run. “I have never held county office, but have been troubled with nervousness and handshaking, so feel I am well qualified. I was operated on 2 months ago fer appendicitis, so feel I am cut out fer the duties required. I have had 14 teeth pulled to see if it would help me pull in the votes. I have gained 40 pounds and hundreds of votes and am feeling like anew man. “While it has been impossible fer me to see all the voters personal, I will say that this has been a Godsend to me and I will appreciate your vote and 2 bottles of your magic tonic.” Ed Doolittle said the storekeeper made him recollect the country editor that run the paper over in his county when Ed was a boy. According to Ed, the paper come out occasional and sometimes oftener. It come out only when the editor got riled up about somepun. Yours truly, Uncle Eb

he assisted in the passage of bills improving the lot of the mentally ill and mentally retarded; in supporting legislation in committee and in the House for remodeling our penal system to improve handling of paroles, and to emphasize rehabilitation of our youthful first offenders; assisted in the passage of bills that created a fair air pollution law, aid for the “near indigent aged” for their medical care, and a fourth category of the Department of Public Welfare to care for those who are permanently and totally disabled regardless of their age, and lent support to other worthwhile legislation. He was one of the majority who helped block a tax increi >e in 1961. Dr. Bowen, a 43 year old physician, has practiced in Bremen since 1946 after his release from three years of Army Service, half of which was spent in the Pacific area. He has four children ages 17, 15, 13, and 10. He his wife, Beth, have been active in numerous civic and community affairs as well as being active members of the St. Paul’s Lutheran Church. Dr. Bowen had this to say: “If renominated I shall conduct an honer', vigorous, but clean campaign for the fall election. If elected in the fall, I shall continue to work for legislation that is morally right and good for Mar shall County and the state of Indiana. Such legislation must furnish the greatest good to the greatest number and be consistent with rules of good sound judgement and ec lomic principles. After weighing both sides of every question, I shall vote for or against bills according to the dictates of my own conscience regardless of pressures exerted to the contrary.” Over 80 million packs of playing cards have been manufactured since the end of World War 2.

On Having Wet Feet

Dictatorships work and move smoothly and rapidly. Democracies, on the other hand, are more cumbersome and achieve more slowly. The dictator makes fast decisions. The democracy takes much more time. Mussolini could accomplish in a few hours what it would take America months to do. Hitler would issue an order and the thing was as good as done. The dictator worked behind closed doors. His mistakes and failures are not publicized. The democracy tells everything, mistakes and all. And this is where the democracy cashes in. An observing, wise man once said “A dictatorship is like an ocean liner, fast and efficient but vulnerable. A democracy is more

like a raft. You always have your feet wet, but you cannot be sunk.” How true. Hitler who built an empire that he claimed would last a thousand years is long since gone. Mussolini, an awesome figure twenty years ago, is almost forgotten. The United States of America with all of her mistakes, repeated embarrassments and ‘wet feet’ lives on stronger than ever. This should be remembered especially in those hours when we are all embarrassed by unhappy things pulled out into the open. There is too much talk. Meetings drag on too long when some inconsequential (?) brother makes a tedious and inconquential speech. Things are said that should be left unsaid. We get terribly tired and fed up with it all. This is when we should remember old fashioned things like free speech, freedom of the press, the right to open assembly, the secret ballot and the rule of the majority. These are things for which men died that their children might have what was denied to them. Sure, we get our feet wet but we survive and we will survive. To-'morrow is ours. And in a big way. We see this all clearly and we become better and more dedicated Americans. We see this and our love for our country deepens. We see this and we are prepared

We read where no less than 13,000 movies have been sold to the television industry. Why then do we see the same ones for the second, third, even sixth time around? . . . We also read where Syria has purchased a number of series for viewing there, including Perry Mason, I Love Lucy and— Watch it now Deputy Dawg . . . There’s an old saying that nothing succeeds like success, which is perhaps the reason Mitch Miller’s popular Sing Along show will be the basis for similar efforts by Peggy Lee, Patti Page and Frankie Laine ... Anew Philco is the finest allaround buy in the industry. Treat yourself to a convincing demonstration where selection, service and price are hard to beat at DOUG’S TV CENTER, 1606 E. Market.
