UNCLE EB from EBENEZER Says: DEAR MISTER EDITOR: The Superintendent of Documents final got around to sending us that book on babysetting. Ed Doolittle brung it to the country store Saturday night and all the fellers was agreed it was well worth the $5,280 it cost the taxpayers to git it wrote. Ed give it to me to fetch home so’s I could pass on to you some of the fine points on how babysetters was supposed to handle young’uns when their folks was gone. First off, they got a name fer the book that’s in keeping with Guvernment policy never to call a spade a spade if you can stretch it out a country mile and call it a sharp steel instrument designed fer the purpose of aiding man to penetrate soil surfaces and lift said soil from said surfaces with a minimum of effort and a maximum of speed or someipun. The official tag fer this book is “Children’s Bureau Publication Number 409—1964, Public Health Service Publication Number 1179. By U. S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, Children’s Bureau, Public Health Service, Division of Accident Prevention.” In case you was interested, Mister Editor, in gitting this volume fer your library, order it by the proper title and save time. It took us three weeks to git copy on account of not calling a spade by some other name. Farthermore, it says the Guvernment has got other publications on how to bring up young’uns in the proper manner. Fer instant, book number 8 is fer taking carfe of babies, book number 30 is kids from 1 to 6, and number 324 is from 6 to 12. They ain’t got nothing listed from 12 to 20 so I reckon even the Guvernment has five up on the teen-agers. Incidental, it says it is better to order by the number. Each book sells fer 20 cent and I hope our Superintendent of Schools will order a bunch of these books fer the school libary. They was a heap of mighty fine information in the book we got,

maybe $5,280 worth. Fer instant, on page 45 it says all young’uns was liable to throw a tantrum at any time, and it tells how to handle this situation. And on page 29 it warns the. babysetter that sooner or later a kid was going to git hungry, and it advises the babysetter to give it somepun to eat. On page 28 it says fer the babysetter not to let kids jump from high places. I reckon they was referring here to trees, the rooftop and such spots. It’s a wonderful book, Mister Editor, and the fellers voted to give it to Bug Hookum fer his next door neighbor. Bug, you will recollect, fenced off his pigs on account of not wanting them to associate with his neighbor’s young’uns. J - Yours truly. Uncle Eb Speculation On Roger Branigin By Frank A. White ROGER D. BRANIGIN, GovernorElect, who has held himself aloof from Gov. Matthew E. Welsh and was virtually inaccessible to all newsmen since Nov. 3 election, came out from under wraps. f He milled about among'lso members of House and Senate at a three day pre-legislative session. He joined with Gov. Welsh and other key figures in addressing the legislators. He held his first full dress press conference in the plush Indianapolis Athletic Club. There had been apprehension and tension that Branigin, who had never sat in a legislature, nor had governmental administrative experience, might make wholesale shakeup of State Government. Preparatory to taking over the one billion dollar State governmeht, Branigin began a pattern of naming key state personnel. Most of them appointed to date were among those considered to be Welsh’s best division heads. He reappointed John T. Hatchett, commission of state administration, John Anderson, adjutant general, Dr. S. T. Ginsberg, commissioner of mental health, among others. He appointed William Fortune, who in early days had been a candidate for governor, as state revenue commissioner. While Branigin is retaining what is considered the best of the Welsh administration personnel, this does not infer that he is not making an exhaustive check in a great many places, before making up his mind. Branigin has had a reputation of being quite independent, a loner in the campaign, and to have come to the highest office more free of promises and committments than any other governor. WERE THIS Columnist speculating, it would be Branigin will name an outstanding, experienced figure as Superintendent of State Police. He may name anew State Director of Conservation and make changes elsewhere. He is selecting his own personal staff.

Branigin had “some words” on a television screen with an insistent radio staffer who was trying to interview him, recently. This and his avoidance of newsmen led a reporter to ask at the press conference, whether Branigin was more or less “disenchanted” with the press. Branigin mulled over the word “disenchanted” for a moment and said that it was a matter of opinion as to good taste. He said he had been invited to address a group When the radioman thrust the microphone before him. He said he felt he first should talk to the party that invited him and then to the press. Branigin said he was one of two living persons holding a life membership in the Indianapolis Press Club and he had no intention of giving it up. He said seriously, he intends to have press conferences regularly when he takes office. THE GOVERNOR ELECT told the joint house and senate session, his door was open. He sai(l some of them perhaps knew more about this businss, than he did and he needed their help. Gov. Welsh told newsmen he surmised the public would want a further trial of the Sales tax before any serious effort to repeal. Branigin sees no conflict between the Democratic platform and the expression of many that the Sales tax be not immediately repealed. He interprets the platform as saying repeal of the Sales tax would be done when a satisfactory substitute is found. Branigin cited a report of a survey showing 120 legislators favored retention of the Sales tax. He said that the legislators would determine taxes. However, were a legislature to repeal a major tax and no provide revenue to keep the state in the black, Branigin said he would veto the repeal of any such tax. Branigin is 62 years old, seeks no other political office. He is beseiged by friend and foe for 20,000 jobs when only about 4,000 will be filled. His record as governor hinges on his appointments and his facing the awesome duties involved. Regardless of how one voted in the election, Branigin is now our Governor of Indiana. He needs the help of all Hoosiers plus a whale of a lot of good luck. LUANN NURSING HOME Mrs. Lovina Sechrist, admitted, December 5. Doing things by halves avails little because it’s the second half that counts.

THE ANSWER T'was the night of the meeting when all through the hall, The Board members got settled for the forth coming ball. 0 The men in their places and visitors abounding, Each eyeing the other while the chairman kept pounding. The gavel laid down it was time for the talking. The new school was mentioned and all started balking. / "Let's plan the new school, it's bound to be coming." "NO" shouted another, "already I'm bumming." "I'm telling you true, it's too much to ask. My bank account suffers with tax upon tax." A murmur was heard, all agreed to the same. The high cost of living was not a nice name. The expense was terrific, no one could afford Maintaining more schools, they at once told the board. A citizen stood up and asked for the floor. His children were grown and he felt real poor. "The schools now in session arerv't really so bad. After all said and done, just look what I had." "Let's wait to do sofnething, after all what's the hurry. Central's wall are stili standing, so why should we worry?" "In shifts kids can learn, in shifts they can play. Just as long as we manage, less taxes we'll pay." "The toilet facilities I hear are quite poor, But each room has one, my home has no more." "Sooooo they're herded like sheep while each take their turn, And stand holding themselves self discipline they learn." / A nice old lady started nudging another, , "If you ask me they could be taught by their mother." A gasp filled the room, the crowd parted with care And picked up a mother who had fallen off her chair. "Oh NO" wailed the woman who had started to swoon, "To try teaching my kids????? POW to the moon." Rap went the gavel, discussion was hot, To plan anew school or keep what we got. "We are getting no place, this war Is not done. A suggestion is needed that will please everyone." From the back of the room a small voice was heard. It was way past her bed time but she literally purred. "I have the solution" she said as she came To the front of the room and looked on them in shame. "Let's each of you people stop blowing your lids, Just call in Pied Piper, THEN STOP HAVING KIDS."
