NAPPANEE ADVANCE-NEWS

UNCLE EB from EBENEZER Says: DEAR MISTER EDITOR: I see by the papers where 1964 will be a busy year fer the post offices in the nation. This item says they’ll be 34 U.S. Senators and 435 House members running fer reelection and they’ll mail free approximate 25 million pieces of political mail to their constituents. They just have it toted to the post office and postmasters all over the country has to see that it goes to ever “patron” on the rural routes, city routes and to them having box es. It will cost the taxpayers, this item says, $1,500,000 to handle this political mail. Os course, in these days and times a million and a half dollars is peanuts to th e folks back home paying the bill, but they was one angle to this news item that bothers me. How come them Congressmen don’t make the Washington post office come after this mail instead of taking it their selves.

And I was reading another interesting piece from the General Sendee Administration that was dealing in orbit figgers. This Government agency says the United States owns around 3 billion documents that is classed as secret and confidential. It was pointed out that this means we got at least one secret document fer every man, woman, and child in the world. These so-called secret documents has to be kept in special spy-proof cabinets and the General Service Administration estimated it will cost sl2 million in the next few years just to make normal replacements of the cabinets. Senator Byrd of Virginia was illustrating the other day how we git so many secret documents. Fer example, last year the Congress passed a law that private shipyards had to git at least 35 per cent of the repair work on Navy ships. The Navy shipyards, wanting to hog all the business, spent $197,000 of the taxpayers money to git a consulting firm to analyze the costs. The Navy was certain the figgers would show they was doing the job cheaper than the private shipyards. But the figgers showed private shipbuilders was doing the job much cheaper. Well, the Defense Department immediate classed the survey es top secret. The cat was let out of the bag when a reporter on a Baltimore paper accidental got hold of a copy and his paper printed it on the front page. Farthermore, when the thing got a little fresh air, it was discovered that the private shipbuilders had conducted the same survey fer $20,000. I reckon it would be a sight in ! this world how many of them 3 billion documents was put in the se cret department to keep the tax payers from knowing the truth. J always thought Guvernment secrets was things we didn’t want the enemy to know but it looks like them bureaucrats in Washington has got the taxpayers classed as Enemy Number One. Yours truly. Uncle Eb History definitely proves that any changes made by conquest (force) are always very temporary in nature.

*•*********••♦ * r * • * • | TEEN SCENES | | BY PAT STOUDER f. v If anyone in Nappanee retired eary Friday evening, they were in for a rude awakening as the victorious Bulldogs and their enthusias tic fans returned home from Warsaw. The tide of fortune finally turned in our favor and we chalked up a 14 to 7 victory over the Tigers. The buses and a caravan of autos paraded through town, noisily announcing the triumph, and assembled students gave the players a roaring welcome when they arrived at home base. The first win of the season is always a big morale-booster, and stucents and players alike are making preparations for a gala homecoming. In connection with this week, a bonfire and rally are being planned for Thursday night. Each class is preparing a skit or stunt for this occasion, each hoping to outdo the others in displaying their talents and originality. It is the hope and purpose of this celebration to boost school spirit and let the team know we are solidly behind them. A homecoming dance following Friday’s game will welcome all NHS alumni back to their Alma Mater. This event will be reigned over by the newly crowned queen and her court.

The GAA (Girls’ Athletic Aasociation) met last Monday to organize and plan activities for the year. Participation in various sports will be offered to the members.
