The filing period will probably be of short duration as they expect to pay the bonus about September 1951. While we do not have the application blanks °for these various out of state bonuses, the Koscuisko County Service Office will glady give any eligible veterans information as to periods of service covered by the various bonuses, eligibility requirements, where to secure applications and where to file them. The Service Office operates on the same hours as the other Court House offices —8 a. m. to Noon and 1 to 4 p. m. (D. S. T.) daily except Sunday —and closed for Wednesday afternoon. A survey of 900 farm homes in 12 north central states made recently showed that only about 70 percent of the farm houses had electricity. But, Indiana farms were 97 percent electrified. Os these regional homes 40 percent had water, and only 25 percent had a bath room. In Indiana, the survey was directed by Miss Gail Redfield of the department of home economics at Purdue University.

CAPITOL (By Charles A. Halleck, Congressman, 2nd District.) What’s your guess on the amount of black pepper used by the average person in a year? Before you ask “Who cares?” here are some interesting facts about pepper and the armed forces. They help to explain why this common household item suddenly became scarce on grocer’s shel ves a few months ago and why the price took a jump. The issue of pepper buying was what you might call a hot subject during recent committee hearings on requests for Department of Defense funds. Many people think that cutting non-defense spending is a fine thing, but that miliary budgets are untouchable. Yet a look into Army pepper purchases show that waste is not limited to civilians. The Army and Air Force say their combined gross need for fiscal 1951 will be an incredible 3,172,000 pounds of black pepper. Records show, moreover, that during a three week period in December, 1950, and January, 1951, the Army bought 1,255,000 pounds —a mover which was immediately felt by the domestic market throughout the country. “Net” requirements for the year, Says the Army, will be “a staggering 1,153 tons! Os this amount, according to the military, about 115 tons will be lost annually because of “combat, pilferage, shipping, storage, etc.” These shocking figures on black pepper, just one example of the prodigious military demands, offer a familiar object for comarison by the housewife who buys her black pepper in a tiny box. And most householders know how far an ounce or two goes in the life of the average family. Why does the Army buy so much black pepper? If there is a good reason, it is obscure. Difficult as it might be to believe, I was told that a report made in December of 1950, for the War Munitions Board on the subject of pepper had been labeled “classified,” which means it was confidential. How secretive, I wonder, can the Administration get? “By executive order” annual consumption allowance per man in the armed forces is 14.6 ounces of pepper. With the loss factor added this more than a pound per year per man. The Department of Agriculture —which usually can furnish statistics by the truckload on every subject—says it just doesn’t have accurate figures on civilian pepper consumption. The closest it can come to such information is that prior to 1941 the figure was about a fourth of a pound per NOTICE TO HEIRS, CREDITORS, ETC. No. 6582 IN THE MATTER OF THE ESTATE OF HAROLD L.

Oub Scout Movies Shown At Goshen “Today, the pace of living is speeded up, leaving not much time for family life, which has become more streamlined, abbreviated and adventurous of youth are trespassed on”, was the theme of a “Cub Scout in the Home” sound movie last week, at the Parkside School in Goshen. This movie stressed the growing boy’s chances of growing up haphazard, and not constructively. In Cub Scouting, the movie showed the boy’s pareirts work with the boys, sign their books when requirements are learned, etc., and “by the parent’s supervision it pulls the family closer together.” “Cubbing and Scouting keep boys busy in mind, body nd character. as they gro v.” There were two other movies, all three in color. The second one was “the Cub Scout in the Den,” and showed the set up for a den meeting, with a den Mother, den chief and denner doing their parts. The third movie was “The Cub Scout in the Pack,” showing the various dens getting together with Cubs and parents, and how the meeting is conducted. This particular pack meeting had the Circus Theme, and really had a circus! All the kinds of side shows, etc. It was a very interesting and instructive showing of Cub Scouting, and the large crowd was composed of Cubs and parents from the Pioneer Trails Council area. « Ralph Hudson, Area Executive, attended from Syracuse, and spectated the films. Also attending from Syracuse were Mr. and Mrs. DeLoss Weaver, David Weaver, Mrs. George Bryan, Den Mother, David Bryan, Larry Laird, Standley Insley, Sam Larson, C. M., and Mrs. Larson. Mrs. Weaver will assist as a Den Mother this summer. Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Cox spent Sunday, in De Motte, in the home of the former’s daughter, Mrs. Jack Evans and family.

25 YEARS AGO MAY 13, 1026 Monday afternoon, the farm house of Mr. and Mrs. Sherman Juday, 2% miles northeast, of Syracuse, caught fire and burned to the ground. Joe Bushong says Syracuse stores ought to wake up and keep the kind of goods their customers want. He tried all over town the other day to get some striped paint to repaint his barber pole with and none of the stores had it. Miss Ruth Tiedt, of Culver, is visiting here this week with her sister, Mrs. R. W. Osborn. Mrs. J. G. McConnell, of Chicago, spent Friday and Saturday here in the home, of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Porter. Mr. and Mrs. John Grieger ( moved into their new home, on the corner of Harrison and Pearl streets, Tuesday. Wayne Hoelcher went to Chicago last Thursday, to spend the summer, with his father, George Hoelcher. Wayne will spend his time studying the linotype. Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Rowdabaugh and family spent Sunday, with Mrs. Rowdabaugh’s sister, Mrs. C. C. Speery and family, in Orland. Ernest Bushong returned home Tuesday, from Chicago, where he is a student at the American Conservatory of Music. He is taking Theater organ work and piano teaching. Miss Laveta Warstler, of South Bend, is ill with La Grippe at the home of her father, Albert Warstler. Mri and Mrs. Clarence Snyder spent Sunday, with relatives, in Buchanan, Mich. Chester Firestone has purchased a new Ford Sedan. person annually. This included both white and black pepper used not only in homes and restaurants but also by food processors. Now, the Department estimates, ure is closer to a sixth of a pound. No one wants to deny the men in our armed forces whatever may be necessary in completely adequate amounts. But this business of unreasonable demands and intemperate buying practices has a serious effect on our economy. The bread earner is hit twice, by taxes and by increased costs of food. Hearings" conducted by the House Small Business Committee disclose that many companies are being forced from operating because of shortages. This means loss of jobs. Businessmen told us they “just couldn’t understand” where raw materials were going. They complained bitterly that the Federal Government was obviously absorbing more materials than were actually needed. At a time when the country is facing the need for a program of self-restraint and sacrifice to build our defense, it would seem only fair to expect the military people to practice a little more caution in their own demands. A thousand tons of pepper is a lot of pepper.

THIS WEEK IN Washington

THE NATION has been on an emotional jag over the MacArthur affair. The country, however, is in a position of crisis today where the head instead of the heart should prevail Everyone without exception has sympathy with General MacArthur over.the fact that he was ousted from his high command in the Japanese and far eastern theatre, and there is no question but that this sympathy for the “underdog” has ruled the reaction to his ouster. His speech before a joint session of the congress was a triumphant defense of his position—his disagreement with the President and the joint chiefs of staff, as well as the United Nations, over prosecution of the war in Korea, and the hearings before the foreign affairs committee and the armed service committees in congress within the next It days win likely give the . American people a clearer insight into the facts which determine this nation’s foreign policy in Asia. • • • Is General MacArthur pontifical in his military decisions? Is he subject to error in his appraisement of the temper of the Asian peoples? Did he make a military blunder when he advised the President the Red Chinese would not enter the Korean war? In fact, is General MacArthur infallible as his worshipers claim, when it comes to matter both military and political in the Asian sphere? These are the questions which will be answered in this up-coming probe into our foreign policy. But, according to observers here, the real question which is now before the people is: would you be willing to make the decision which might bring Russia into the war on the side of Red China and thus start World War HI with all that means, including the fact that it likely would mean that the United States would go it alone with an all-out war on both ocean fronts? • • • General MacArthur declaims that it is the rankest defeatism to think that we cannot conduct a global war on both fronts. So if you follow the MacArthur line of reasoning, that is the question you

Learn How To Tread Water TEO J. OLIVER, New Haven, Conn., says that he found himself on the threshold of a new life. After 12 long years in the shops, he was only just seeing the “light of day,” for more than half of these years were spent on the night shift. He succeeded in landing a sales job with the largest cutting tool manufacturer in the world. ' To represent them in all of New England was good fortune that he could hardly believe. X But if his surprise at getting a job of such magnitude as this was great, so was the work. MB So he gave that job all he had. He would rise at an early hour, drive to the territory that he had planned on working, make as many good calls as the day would permit, hop into the car for a long drive Carnegie home, bolt down his supper and then, without, even getting up, swing the chair around to his desk which is adjacent to the table. Here he would make out his reports, draw sketches of proposed tooling which had to be submitted for quotations, and report on the disposition of earlier quotations. He maintained this pace for two months and then he had tens; pto the point where he could hardly speak. There was a ticaie in his throat that no amount of throat-clearing would dislodge. A visit to his doctor plus a series of X-rays showed no reason for his condition. However, the doctor did tell him his troubles resulted from the pace at which he was working. “More than that,” said the doctor, “you are like a non-swim-mer that has been catapulted into the water. You are just thrashing around making no headway and, like a non-swimmer, you will eventually sink.” Then said this practical-minded medico: “I am going to prescribe a method rather than a treatment. I suggest that you do as the distance swimmers do when they tighten up from the long grind . . . just tread water for a while.” And that was exactly what Leo Oliver did—and has done over and over again when he has found the tempo gets too fast. He just “treads water” for a while and he always finds that he does a better job and feels great while doing it BUILD YOUR OWN BOAT AT HOME with simple, foolproof Yra can save a heap of cash by matV X ing your own boat...and have a heap JwWvA of fun doing It, too.

must decide. If you follow the line of reasoning advocated by President Truman, we should attempt to conclude an honorable victory by holding the war to Korean borders in an attempt to avoid an all-out third world war. We may not be successful, but that is the position we should take first. No one who looks at the facts disagrees with the President’s authority, or right to fire MacArthur, or the fact that he did not merit relief of his command for refusing to carry out, or refusal to adhere to the orders and policy of his government. This in spite of the fact that .the General now says he has not the faintest idea on why he was dismissed. These are the issues, according to the observers, which the American people must decide on the cold, sober facts, not on emotional impulses. • • • In the meantime the great debate on foreign policy continues in the congress with temper flaring and near fistcuffs between Senators Capehart of Indiana, Humphrey of Minnesota and Lehman of New York, with Senator Taft of Ohio seeking the role of the peacemaker. And in the midst <rf this debate, the one great statesman of his time, the author of the M-partisan, or as he called it the “un-partisan” foreign policy, Senator Arthur Vandenburg of Michigan died. In his place. Governor Mennen Williams of Michigan has named Blair Moody, Washington newspaper man for the Detroit News. Moody is labeled a Democrat and a liberal, and his appointment was not received with enthusiasm by Senator Homer Ferguson, Michigan’s senior senator. As a matter of fact, political observers declare the GOP leadership in Washington will sorely miss the leavening influence and the wise counsel of the late Senator from Michigan. ♦ • ♦ According to a tabulation of Congressional Quarterly, a nonpolitical congressional reporting organization, lobbyists in Washington spent a record $10,303,204 during 1050 in attempting to influence legislation in the congress.
