LETTERS Advance-News Nappanee, Indiana Gentlemen: We didn't care for your red ink in the paper this week. It was very hard to read, and the ink came off on our hands. E.W.M. 2 - December 20. 1,963 Mr. Don E. Nichols The Nappanee Advance-News Nappanee, Indiana Dear Mr. Nichols: Thanks very much for your cordial letter. I am glad you like the column. I see Nappanee occasionally from a roomette window on the Capitol Limited and I will look forward to meeting you at the Hoosier State Press convention. Asa man who proceeded in a single year from Buck Private No. 3 in the front rank to Buck Private No. 3 in the rear at Culver Military Academy,. I have mixed feelings about Northern Indiana. But lam supposed to make the commencement speech at Culver next June and, perhaps, in the magic of my oratory I’ll forget my previous humiliations as I sagged around under the weight of a Springfield Rifle. One thing I did learn and that was that horse cavalry was obso lete, That was long before the U.S. Army realized it.

Very truly yours, Jenkin Lloyd Jones Editor

C. M. Wysong Dies In South Bend (Reprinted in part from the South Bend Tribune) , C. Milton Wysong, of Syracuse, grand old man of Indiana conservation, is dead at the age of 89. Wysong died December 24 in St. Joseph’s Hospital after suffering a heart attack Saturday in the home of his son in South Bend. The ardent angler and sportsman established his mark in Hoosier conservation circles when, at the age of 59, he became educational director of the Indiana Department of Conservation. His appointment in 1933 by then Gov. Paul V. McNutt came at an age when most men are thinking of retirement. He remained with the deparrnent until 1953, retiring at 79. WysSng served with the state agenev under Govs. McNutt, Clifford Townsend. Henry Sehricker and Ralph (Sates. The former director is credited with organizing 1,300 conservation clubs in the state. Wysong’s work ir, establishing the clubs throughout Indiana is believed responsible for pushing 29 new conservation laws through the General Assembly. In the early 1940s he advocated a “no closed season on fishing.” Neighboring states listened to the Hoosier sportsman and then Indiana followed suit. Today most Indi ana game fish can be caught anytime, During his tenure with the Conservation Department, he taught fishing classes at Purdue University’s extension center at , Fort Wayne. There he acquired i the nickname “The Hoosier Fish- ; erman,” and was presented an hon- ! orary Ph D. ichthyology by the university. At the time of his death he was a consultant on fishing for the department. | Born on May 4, 1874, in Union | Twp., Elkhart County, Wysong was a graduate of Nappanee High School and Indiana State Teachers College, Terre Haute. He taught I school for a few years in Gravelton. In 1919 Wysong established his own insurance agency in Goshen. He served three terms on the Goshen School Board and was its chairman when / the high school was built. In 1924 he moved his insurance operation to South Bend. He gave up the agency in 1929 when his health failed. He joined the Conservation Department in 1933. In his younger days, he had a reputation as an outstanding athlete. He played football at Indiandx State and coached a team at Nap panee. He was a sprint star in the track team at college. Services were Friday at the Harris Funeral Home, Syracuse. Rev. Glen Traver of the First Brethren Church bf New Paris officiated. Burial was in Union Center Ceme-

Indiana Must Find 37,500 New Jobs A Year By Frank A. White INDIANA MUST FIND 37,500 new jobs a year for the next decade to take care of its rocketing labor force. Lt. Gov. Richard O. Ristine, head of our State Department of Commerce and Industry, believes jobs can be created by developing Indiana’s foreign export trade. A big step toward increase of Hoosier exports would be to break the stalemate on building a Burns Ditch deep water port to connect with the St. Lawrence Seaway. Chicago’s Senator Paul Douglas has been the biggest stumbling block to Indiana getting a deep water port. The Windy City does not want Indiana competition in exports via thg, St. Lawrence Seaway. Chicago’s port is hemmed in and difficult to use. The one proposed for Indiana would have wide-open entry and exit and a network of Hoosier highrail and truck facilities would out-rival the congestion around Chicago. Lt. Gov. Ristine had this to say, regarding Indiana developing its exports: “Indiana now ranks 10th in the Nation in the value of manufactured exports. There is no reason

why Indiana can’t move frohi 10th place to 9th, perhaps to 4th or sth place.” To plug for shore exports. Lt. Gov. Ristine is to embark on a series of regional meetings over the state. RISTINE SAID “THE total value of exports from Indiana in 1960 was estimated by the U.S. Department of Commerce at $483.6 million. A total of 312 business establishments, exporting goods worth $25,000 or more, accounted for $3lO 2 millions of the total exports. “These establishments employ 310,259 workers and their exports represent 4% of their total Shipments. The total value of manufactured goods exported by Indiana represents more than 3% of the total value of exports of the USA.” STUDEBAKER’S NEW location at Hamilton. Canada, is just across {he border from Buffalo. The company will utilize the St. Lawrence seaway to boost its exports that already show a sizeable profit. A plan is being unfolded to build a port connecting with the St. Lawrence at Burns Ditch in Porter County that will cost much less than originally contemplated. PRESIDENT JOHNSON < has speeded up the distribution of 234 million dollars in dividends on wartime insurance to veterans. Normally, the dividends are paid on the anniversary of each individual policy. All will now be paid in the month of January. The average will be $65 for World War One and SSO for World War Two veterans who kept their wartime insurance in force. Veterans will get anoroximately the same amount checks as last year. WITH ADMISSION of Kenya and Zanzibar the membership of the United Nations has swollen to 113. The organization is getting a closer scrutiny by many, since the African, Asian bloc now dominates in numbers. However, President Johnson spoke before- the organization pledging] all out U.S. support. The U.S. officially contributes 32% of thdMJN budget but by the tinie all are added up, it amounts to 46% by Uncle Sam. It amounts to approximately $246-726,520 a year, or half of the total U.N. spending of $536,362,000 a year. Zanzibar, a small country, for instance pays only $36,000 a year. However, Zanzibar has one vote, just as does the U.SA. that pays so much more. IN WARTIME I went in Tokyo, Japan stores on the Ginza that had only incense and a few items to j sell. Now Japan has gone all out for Christmas, although only 1% of the people are Christians. Many think Christmas is to celebrate the birthday of General Douglas MacArthur who remains a popular tradition in the country.

BIG DRIP

A friend called call our attention to the mammoth icicle which had formed on the Elm St. side of the CommunityBuilding. It extended the whole height of the building and was a good two feet thick along the top. We were unable to gets good picture of it, but can testify that it was the larges single icicle we had ever seen. Mr./and Mrs. Harve DeFrees Sr. entertained the Alvin Wisler family of Wakarusa, and Mr. and Mrs. Norman Burris at a Christmas dinner Wednesday. Afternoon callers and supper guests were Mrs. <Merl Croy, Lynn and Roger, and Mr. and Mrs. Harvey DeFrees Jr. and family.

Generally, the quicker the tv program is turned off, the happier the ending.
