LETTERS Dear Editor: A bill, S. B. 5, has been introduced in the Indiana Senate for an act dosing most businesses on Sunday. Section I of this bill gives various reasons for prohibiting Sunday sales. One is that the additional hours required by Sunday openings increase the cost of doing business and thereby increase the retail prices for the merchandise being sold. This is an obvious fallacy. The increased volume of sales reduces the overall cost and as one of the main reasons for lower prices. The general public determines whether it is profitable for a shop to remain open. Many people have found it con-

' venient to shop on Sunday wheat their family is together and are doing so. T| It has been stated that a group of retail businesses that do not open on Sunday have written this bill and have joined fttces and funds to push it through the legislature before the general public is aware of it. The Mil Would exclude the sales of hohseWSre, furniture and hardware. It would allow the/limited sale of drugs, and milk and bread. However, few grocery or drug stores could remain open to sell these few items. It does not touch on the services of the workers in, eating places, sendee stations, restegttoi&s, radio or newspaper offices, or utility companies. In other words these are hot competitors and of no con-

Anyone who started their spring cleaning tost week during the brief warm weather had a rude awakening on Thursday. The snowstorm caused many inconveniences for everyone, but at the same time, it was interesting to see how everyone pitched to to help others who were stranded. I saw several ftMißies walking from toe downtown area FfcifUy afternoon pulling their groceries home on sleds, ft was a holiday for the kids who didn’t have to go to school and for the first- time since before Christihas had a chance to get out sleds and really take advantage of the situation. One family in town even has a little snowmobile, and appeared to be having a real holiday skimming along atop the huge snow-

Last week, Mr. and Mrs. Larry Homan honored their daughter, Tammy, with a MrthdUy party on toe occasion of her fourth birthday. Guests present for toe festive party were Mark George, Ricky Ghorge, Kent and Kevin ftectonnapk Christy MtzgeraM, Shelly ratter, Amy Jo Price, T.isa Averin, fliKi ncr xiwy Alan Homan. Also present were grandmothers, Mrs. Charles Homan and Mrs. Devon Ifoore. The guests were entertained with games of Spudsie, pin the tail on the down and a fishing game. Ice cream, cake and punch were served. The youth of the community are being invited to a hootennany which will be beld in toe Church of the Brethren fellowship hall on February 12 at 6:30. Group singing, fellowship and 'refreshments will provide a lot of fun for all who are present Invitations are being sent to each of the church youth, groups. Al/C Larry Sheets, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles (told) Sheets, arrived home Wednesday and will be here until Pebruary 18. Larry, who is now stationed at Grand Forks Air Force Base to North Dakota, will then be leaving for Thailand and will arrive there around toe 23rd of February. Airman . Sheets recently earned his first class rank by / passing a special test given for that pur-

pose. He will be stationed at Thailand for a period of one year. There isn’t much else to report. I guess this past weekend has been better for staying home and catching up on reading, games, etc. Hope the Groundhog doesn’t see his shadow or we may be in for a lot more of this.

Klondike Derby Attracts Crowd ' ■' " _ /' The Miami District of the Boy Scouts of America of the Pioneer Trails Council held their Klondike Derby on Sunday at the Pioneer Trail’s Camp located near Cromwell, Indiana. Morris Herring, district camping and activities chairman, planned the event with the Nappanee Junior Chamber of Commerce. The Jaycees helped to set the course and manned the outposts as judges. • The Klondike Derby called for the Scouts to build their own sledges out of native timber. During the derby, the boys pulled their sledges to various outposts where they were judged on their Scouting dulls and awarded golden nuggets for their proficiency. The best patrol award went to the Mercury Patrol of troop 5 sponsored by the First Methodist Church of Goshen. Other first place winners were: The Rattlesnake Patrol of troop 33 sponsored by the Nappanee Junior Chamber of Commerce; the Owl Patrol of Troop 4 sponsored by the Wakarusa PTA; the Flamming Arrow Patrol of Troop 94 sponsored by the Benton Township PTA; and the Bat Patrol of Troop 33.

WASHINGTON, D.C. The enormity of the problems facing anew Congressman is beginning to settle in on John T. Myers (R), farmer-hanker from Covington, who is here to represent Indiana’s Seventh District. “There are two key problems I am trying to keep my eye on, spending, especially deficit spending, and Vietnam.” The size and complexity of the new Federal budget, $189.2 billion now proposed, is the measure of the task. How is anyone, newly or even lately arrived, supposed to master enough details to digest this financial lump? ‘1 now have five people on my staff, and am allowed up to eleven. Asa banker, I would have preferred to get on the I&use Appropriations Committee, but I got my second choice instead, the Government Operations Committee. On that committee, m have the opportunity to study the working of the Federal Government, both at home and abroad.” John is a thin, intense, enthusiastic and apparently very capable man. At the age of 39, he is entering an important phase of his career. “I had been asked to run for Congress before, but until last year, I really didn’t want to. Now I’ve come to Washington to represent the people in my district. I believe I should have an independent view, not necessarily following the views of the minority leader, Mr. Ford. He didn’t elect me.” We can . put him down for pluses for frankness and candor. “I’m particularly concerned about the budget deficit,” says banker John. “We should run the government like a business. No business would survive on this deficit basis.” The problem is that government is not really a business. There are all kinds of services that citizens expect from their government, including defense, which was allocated $74.1 billion in this budget. On the defense budget, John takes the standard and basically sensible Capitol Hill line. “We have to do everything we can for the boys in Vietnam.” This results, however, in total capitulation to anything that McNamara sends oVer. The budget _ is .so complex tfeat if u.%nt£reiy possible that no one undes£ands the end uses of all that money, let alone the impact on the economy. Since this budget is the product of partisan and sometimes self serving agencies within the Defense department, it is not totally convincing, that every single billion is required. This new budget, for example, includes military pay raises unrelated to the specific troops in Vietnam. Defense and civilian agencies “directly involved” in Vietnam (which perhaps should be clarified) are hiring 110,000 more civilians than the Administration had anticipated. Further, the President proposes that 25,110 new “permanent be created during the 1968 fiscal year for the Army, Navy, Air Force, and civi-

lira agencies that are supporting the war in Vietnam. Congressman Myters was quick to agree with Correspondent Myers that there is indeed a growing danger of building such an intrenched military-civilian bureaucracy on the sacrifice in Vietnam that there will be little bureaucratic incentive to conclude the affair. This is one of the hundreds o 4 riddles of the Federal Government that he-Will try to solve. John and his family have settled down in nearby Virginia in an area called Seven. Corners, which might be an appropriate name for this year’s budget.
