Liheu, Kauai, Hawaii. — Mrs. Leila Miller of Lake Wawasee, Syracuse, Indiana, and her brother, Robert Stendall of 755 Athen Street, Gary, Indiana were recent visitors to Kauai. This island, fourth largest of the Hawaiian group, is known as the Garden Island because of its profusion of luxuriant tropical foilage. “We are certainly "delighted with the wonderful scenery we have found here,” the Indiana residents declared, "we don t see how z a visit to Hawaii could be considered complete without a trip to Kauai.”

Progress From Village to City PATERSON, N.J.—The potentialities for industrial developement at Paterson was first recognized in 1792 by Alexander Hamilton, secretary of the treasury. It wasn’t until 1851, how ever, that the village was incorporated. Now, 100 years later, one of the oldest industrial centers in the United States is celebrating its 100th anniversary. » Paterson frequently has been referred to as “the cradle of American industry.” It is the home of 722 industrial plants producing everything from pipe organs to chemicals. A recent survey disclosed that 27,700 employees take home annual wages amounting to $81,500,000 and that the city’s 2,582 retail outlets do an annual business of $180,000,000.

Kentucky Towns Seek New Industries As Economy Balance FRANKFORT, Ky. — The rural areas of Kentucky have awakened from the doldrums and negligence of the past and are luring small industries to the lesser cities of the Blue Grass region. The town of Berea moved into the spotlight last January when the Parker Appliance company announced contraction of a $550,000 rubber molding plant that would employ from 150 to 200 people. The Elgo Shutter company expects to 4 employ a like number at Owensboro. Danville is to be the site of a $7,000,000 plant already under construction by Corning Glass Works of Corning, New York. About 550 people will be employed in the plant ' to produce bulbs and tubing for electric lights. The Baxter Laboratories of Morton Grove, Illinois, selected Greenville as the site for a pharmaceutical plant which would eventually employ up to 450 people. PrintzBiederman of Cleveland has announced operatiqns to begin manufacture of nationally known garments in a new $150,000 plant at Bardstown equipped with nearly $75,000 worth of new equipment and employing 150 persons. The Air Reduction Cojnpany of New York has purchased 1,000 shares of land near Calvert City for a $10,000,000 plant to be operated by their National Carbide Division. Owensboro, a thriving location, Jias two plants in sight—the Elgo Shutter construction mentioned above, and a $10,000,000 Green River Steel Corporation outlay that will employ LOGO men as soon as completed and may eventually hire 3,000. A valuable part of the program for enticing small industries is the services provided by the Kentucky Agricultural and Industrial Development Board, located in the state capitol. The Board is a source of information for possible industries and keeps pertinent data regarding the advantages of various locations throughout the state. Classed as such would be the practice of taking aerial photographs of small towns and marking off practical industrial sites to prospective companies. The strength and determination of the citizens of Kentucky’s small towns to weld themselves into the growth of American industry does not mark a strong shift from agriculture to industry—but a good balance of the two. Industry is growing, and the small towns are prepared to furnish the growing room. Junk Yards Anger Town; Council Gets an Earful LAKE, Wis.—Civic pride cropped up all over Lake recently when irate citizens embarked upon a hot crusade to do something about unlicensed junk yards that suddenly began “springing up all over town." The townspeople let loose plenty of verbal steam at the town board during a heatea session. After the board had taken considerable oral punishment. Chairman Vernon G. Howard decided it was time to adjourn the meeting at about 10 p.m “Nobody was getting any place and it looked as if it might go on for hours,” he explained later. Citizens had argued that is was the fault of the board members that empty lots were being converted into automobile salvage and junk yards without town permits. The city had the power for sych licenses, Howard agreed, but it was possible, he pointed out, for a junk dealer to “buy a lot, start operating, and then it is a while before we hear about it.” The citizens got action, however. Alvin Lampe, building inspector, was told to check up on all junk yards, order those without permits to cease operations and take any operator to court who refused to close down an unlicensed operation. The exact number of unlicensed yards was unknown but Howard said, “From the way people are talking, there must be a couple dozen.” Citizens were promised prompt and complete action by the board. Most of the townspeople apologized after the meeting with the board for the loss of tempers and, with the junk yards on the way out, peace and calm began to return to the peaceful community of Lake. LOCAL NEWS Mr. and Mrs. Ward Flowers and son of Niles, Michigan, spent Sunday with Mrs. Lydia Stiffler. Mrs. Stiffler accompanied them home where she will spend the winter. Mr. and Mrs. Irvin Berkey of Chapman Lake, and Mrs. Lena Yoder of Goshen, visited Sunday , in the Aldo Babcock home.

County Welfare Expenditures Show Variations

Public Welfare expenditures in Kosciusko county in 1950 amounted to $11.02 per capita, as compared to a statewide average of $10.9i5 per capita, it is shown in the chart prepared by ' the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce. Annual expenditures among Indiana counties on the much publicized Public Welfare program range from a low figure of $4.03 per capiat in Tippecanoe county to a high of $25.10 per capita in Vigo county. The chart depicts total 195. calendar year" expenditures cf the welfare department in each county, broken down into terms ol what the total represents for each man, woman and child i: the county according to the 19 50 population census. The break down on a per capita basis permits welfare costs in each county to be compared relatively with the costs in surrounding counties and wiht the statewide average of $10.95 per capita. Apparent from the chart is a concentration of larger welfare expenditures in the souhtwestern part of the state. However, the State Chamber pointed out that there are a number of instances in which the levels of welfare expenditures in individual counties are in sharp contrast with the expenditure levels in adjoining counties. The State Chamber added that due to differing economic conditions in the counties, the figures do not necessarily reflect “good” or “bad ’ county administration. The wide variation in per capita costs does illustrate the high degree of local control over the Welfare program in Indiana, the Chamber said. It urged citizens of Indiana communities to intensify their interest in and study of their local welfare programs. Public attention has been focused on welfare expenditures in Indiana this year as a result of 1951 State Legislative action making available for public inspection the names of persons receiving welfare grants, togethe.

Flashing Sealed By Plastic Cement Asphalt roof cement, generally called “plastic cement,” is well adapted for use in flashing around chimneys and other roof openings because its elasticity permits expansion and contraction under changing temperatures without cracking and crumbling. It is used also for sealing or cementing down asphalt shingles and roofing along valleys and rakes.

ASPHALT FROM PETROLEUM One of the largest natural deposits of asphalt was discovered by Columbus on the island of Trinidad in 1498. However, the material used in the manufacture of asphalt roofing is obtained mostly from the petroleum industry. Known as “asphalt flux,” this product of the fractional distillation of crude oil is highly refined for use in making asphalt shingles and other roofing products.

Following the late-summer withholding of federal funds from Indiana because of the state “antisecrecy” law and the calling of a special session of the Indiana Legislature to deal with the problem, the recent action of the national Congress removing the federal “secrecy” ban now upholds the right of public inspection of lists of assistance grants to be filed in county auditor’s offices.

Rotary Club Meets Members of the Syracuse-Wa-wasse Rotary Club met Monday night at the Pickwick, with 30' present. Carl Eby, of Wawasee and Wakarusa, entertained the group with a colored slide illustrated talk on a trip he and his wife made early this year to Guatamala in Central America, by plane. Mr. and Mrs. Eby and four other friends made the trip in two small planes. Mr. Eby had a series of beautiful photos,- and his rambling talk held the attention of every one present. Prior to the main program, some fun was had at the expense of two deer-hunters (so-called), and also President Fred Clark received the left hind foot of a rabbit, to give him good luck in hunting. The group joined in singing several songs prior to the opening.

$43,07'0,'548, including federal, state and local funds expended by the counties. These outlays were for the major programs of old age assistance and aid to dependent children and for a variety of other child support and care, hospital commitments and administrative expense items in county welfare departments. They do not include expenditures by state welfare department for blind assistance, state administration and minor state welfare services. As compared with the 1950 outlays, welfare expenditures in 1951 are showing a downward trend.
