Huge Crowd Hears Townsend In Rally Here Monday Night
Sullivan county turned out an overflow crowd here last night to hear Former Governor M. Clifford Townsend. Democratic nominee for United States Senator, in the principal address at the Democratic rally held in the Court House auditorium.. "The people will elect a senator and congressmen in Indiana to serve them beginning January 1947," Mr. Townsend said, "therefore, we should consider in this campaign problems effecting our people from then on. In the case of the United States Senator it will be problems from 1947 to 1953." He said that most of us can foresee the two main problems to be dealt with-world peace and continued prosperity. "To have a continued prosperity, it is generally agreed that the national income must be maintained at one hundred fifty billion dollars or more," the former Governor said. "Past experience has proven that the national income, except in war years, is always about seven times the income of agriculture, so we must keep the income of agriculture at about twenty-two billion dollars per year, which is approximately what it is now." Mr. Townsend said that as a farmer and experienced in farm legislation, one of his main purposes not only for the farmer, but for the general welfare, would be to use his energy and experience to get legislation that would help keep the farm income high. "A high income for farmers will help keep the the factory output demand for. high,", he further stated. . , , i Howard Atcheson, who for several years served as the Republi-

TAUGHT INCORRECTLY MalanAskslO Point Program For Ind. Schools -" .Recommending a 10-point legislative program to all school administrators, Dr. Clement T. Malan, state superintendent of public instructions, asks that it be publicized now to give ample time for public discussion. Since his term of office extends to March 15, 1947, covering the period of -the 1947 state legislature, Dr. Malan says he feels a responsibility to outline the major legislative needs of the school system of Indiana, as he sees them, just as he has done prior to the 1943 and 1945 sessions. Additional points will be added if the need arises, he says. Dr. Malan's 10-point legislative program recommends . that , the legislature: ,..-4 iMK-H Increase the- salary. ,6f. the state superintendent of public instruction to $7,500 to make it commemsurate with salaries of other state officials of major responsibilities. (This salary, now $5,000, becomes $6,000 on March 15, 1947, by Act of 1945. If an additional raise becomes a law, it will not be effective until March 15, 1949.) (2) Extend the term of office of the state superintendent of public ' instruction, from two years to four years. To do so, an Amendment to the State Constitution must pass two successive sessions of the state legislature, and be voted upon favorably at a subsequent general election. (3) Reduce elementary classes from 34 to 24 pupils, as the measuring unit of average daily attendance, for state tuition support, making is conform to the size of unit for secondary classes.

Designed for the purpose of affording the youngsters of this city a means of celebrating the traditional Halloween custom in "grand style," the coupled governing groups are depending upon civic minded persons for financial gifts with which to foster the event. A parade of masked ghosts and goblins as well as fancy dress lords and ladies will parade the public square here the night "the witches prowl" (Oct. 31) and will continue on their way to the Sullivan City Park where refreshments and entertannment wil Ibe afforded the youngsters. In the initial celebration last year, men and women of this city came forth with unique and picturesque costumes to lend a friendly and eomnanionnble j ntmosnhoro to the kids' snook festival. Pri?es, this year as last, will reward those achieveins the highest degree of originality in costume and special antics have been planned to toast the night. In the' past children; have given want to their Halloween energies by (property damage.. In an effort to tamp put, such demonstrations the school officials have ' inaugurated an honor system whereby, a student high school, junior high or elementary signs a pledged card giving his allegience to uphold this anti-vandalism program.

However, a student if caught violating the high principles of this program will be barred from the fun and feasting. Superintendent of City Schools Allen C. Campbell has expressed his hope that all parents will support this community program which in its ultimate end will provide the children of this city with a deeper appreciation for the "town we live in."

Slavs Refuse To Attend Final Peace Meeting PARIS, Oct. 15 (UP) The Paris Peace Conference adjourned today after eleven weeks and two days of almost constant bickering, its windup marred by a boycott by Yugoslavia which accused the delegates of unjust dealing with problems of Yugoslav interests. 'Yugoslavia's refusal to attend the last formal session cast a pall over it and sent the delegates on their way to the next deliberations in New York without much hope. The meeting had been planned as a final friendly champagne and roses affair to end an admittedly unsuccessful conference. The absence of . the Yugoslavs and their charges . that they had been discriminated against took all the warmth out of the nobly phrased oratory.

Sullivan, 'Suh, Is A Fine Cotton Growin Country! The South is moving north! If anyone around here has been told that cotton would not grow in Indiana, we recommend they stop by the Times office and see the 54 inch stalk grown by Luther Frakes, 442 South State Street. This stalk of cotton is well above average for cotton even Southern cotton and has about 30 boles getting ready to open. One bloom is still on one of the limbs. Mr. Frakes was born in Sullivan county 64 years ago and in 1895 moved to Arkansas where he was initiated into cotton-growing. In 1900 he came back to Sullivs.n county where he has been ever since. He never forgot his experience as a child with cotton 'and has grown it here several times on a small scale. Last year Mrs. Frakes brought back some seed from Tennessee after visiting relatives there and Mr. Frakes planted several stands of cotton in his garden on South State Street. Two weeks ago Mr. Frakes visited in Tennessee and reports that his cotton here in Sullivan is bigger and better than Tennessee's, although the Southern cotton is much further advanced due to being planted earlier. Mr. Frakes's cotton was planted the latter part of May.
