Touching Ceremony Marks Gifts of Heifers to Farmers

On October 2. 1954. a belter contributed by the Church of the Brethren. Syracuse. Indiana, will be given to a refugee fanner now living near Bremen. 1 Germany. Thirty-five other needy farmers will also receive heifers distributed by Heifer Project Inc.. New Windsor. Maryland. These animals. given as expressions of good will and understanding of the American people, are the first livestock these fanners have, owned since leaving their homes and herds on the other side of the Iron Curtain. ’This is the 37th shipment of cat- i tie to Western Germany by Heifer Project. Altogether 1.890 cattie have been shiped for distribution to the refugee farmers who are now being settled on small plots developed from old military proving grounds and mine-cleared battlefields. Cattleon this shipment were contributed by donors living in Illinois. Indiana, Ohio. Pennsylvania. Connecticut. and Maryland. The distribution ceremony is usually a very emotional service. Max Snider. Heifer Projtct representative in Germany describes the reactions of the people: ’The most pleasing sights weren’t the tears some of the people couldn't contain when they thought of their homeland and lost possessions 'and maybe tost relatives and friends*, but the smiles and happiness when a man led his cow away, or when he backea'his horse and wagon to the cow. or when he led the cow into the wagon or truck rented to take his cow to her new stall. That is when smiles. handshakes and kind words formed lasting contacts of inner Love and Peace in the making.

|Our Readers Write.... Vacation Visitor Rises To Wawaseean Poetic Heights

The Journal was pleased the other day to receive the following communication: LaFayette, Indiana 9-20-54 The Syracuse Newspaper Syracuse. Indiana Dear Mr. Editor— I have enjoyed several vacations at Wawasee. I have written about it and I thought you might use this article in your paper. Share the thought with the home town people, and perhaps the visitors that have come and gone. Will enclose 5 cents for copy of the paper. Sincerely. Mrs. Florence Ford 1200 Heatte Street Mrs. Ford's poem appears below. On the lake at Wawasee It’s been vacation time for you an me The lake its self is beautiful, Mid roiling hills and trees. The folks that come each season Are quite happy and carefree. The row boats, the sail boats. The speed-boats passing by. With the laughter of the youngsters. And the swimmers happy cry. The fisherman is happy When he gets his daily catch. The weather is sometime hectic. But he likes it you can bet. The evening lights a twinkle 1 From the cottages and hotels. Makes one feel quite happy and contented. In setting God has planned. When vacation time is over. And you are packing up to leave. One can take their pleasant memories. From their trip to Wawasee. The Journal office thought that our readers might like to read a letter we received last week from J. Ben McGill. Boy Scout Executive serving Kosciusko. Elkhart and . LaGrange counties. The letter is as follows: Open Letter to our friends the newspaper. ’ The Pioneer Trails Area Council. Boy Scouts of America, serving Boyhood in Elkhart. LaGrange and Kosciusko counties, salute our friends-the personnel of all news papers in our 3county area on the occasion of “National Newspaper Week”. Since scouting was established in the United States it has found the newspapers of the Nation ready to tell the story of our organization to its readers. This support has meant much to our steady growth, attracting adults of character to serve as leaders and give financial support. Newspapers, both dailies and weeklies play an important role as the meeting ground for ideas and opinions in America and also as a market place of viewpoint so necessary to liberty. National Newspaper Week gives us a fine opportunity Tor our Council to say THANKS for the intelligent support you have given , us. We sincerely wish you and your associates good health and happiness. May your printer's ink never run dry!! May you continue printing “Your Newspaper—Freedom's Forum.” Appreciatively yours. J. BEN MCGILL. Scout Executive

Kagawa Cites Co-op Progress In Japan Coops offer the world its most practical alternative t o communism. Dr. Tpyohiko Kagawa told two large audiences September 20. ..The world Christian and coop turned from saying, “Despite its intriguing apparatus, communism will never achieve peace, “to a clinical analysis of “the pathology of capitalism.” Farmers, fishermen’s, credit, consumer and other voluntary coops. Kagawa said, are the greatest single factor in heading off world catastrophe. The Japanese leader said he aas well pleased with coop pro-c-ess since his last visit in 1950. Ke’s credited with having inspired organization of hundreds of • <mer coops during his spectacular lecture tour here in 1 ■"‘36-37. Kagawa urged the U. S. to quit testing H- and A-bombs in the South Pacific. If necessary, he said tests could be undertaken in the vast Arctic regions. “If we’re to have peace, we must have coop trade,” Kagawa said. “We can make friends by such trade. Instead of urging Japan to rearm, why not give much more positive programs of peace based on coop principles?” he asked. In Japan, he said, the communist threat has dropped. Out of 13 million votes, communists had 3.000.000 six years ago. They got 250.000 last year. The decline. Kagawa said, came on the heels of “revealing evidence of hatred from behind the heels of “revealing evidence of hatred from behind the Iron Curtain,” peacetime programs of democratic groups, including farm and labor organizations and coops, and the growth of Christianity. Unemployment Claims Drop; Workers Recalled A 6,000 drop in unemployment insurance claims during the week ending Sept. 25 brought the week's 49,981 total to a new 1954 low, William C. Stalnaker, director of the Indiana Employment Security Division, said yesterday. He added, however, that the volume was still more than double that for the same week a year agfr when the figure was just over the 21.000 mark. Recalls of workers in the automotive industry helped reduce the number of claimants in the South Bend, Indianapolis, Muncie, and Evansville areas. The Divisions Lawrenceburg office also reported a decrease in claims following a call back of distillery workers for the Christmas rush. Mr. Stalnaker said the number of claims filed by newly unemployed persons was about the same last week as the week before. Although 20 of the Division’s 29 offices showed decreases, the net drop was only 700, reducing the state-wide figure to 5.953. Happy is the house that shelters a friend. — Ralph Waldo Emerson

THIS GUIDING LI6HT MUSI NOT FAIL

Sara Cuse Says •. By Ardis Larson. "Horizon”, by ‘Anonymous', a poem in Good Housekeeping Magazine’s October issue, on the Memory Lane page, gives a beautiful thought. I watched a sail until it dropped from sight . . . Over the rounding sea. A gleam of white ... A last far-flashed farewell, and, like a thought . . . Slipped out of mind it vanished and was lost. Yet to the helmsman standing at the wheel . . . Broad seas still stretched beneath the gliding keel . . . Disaster? Change? He felt no slightest sign . . . Nor dreamed he of that far horizon line . . . So may it be, perchance, when down the tide . . . Our dear ones vanish. Peacefully they glide . . . On level seas, nor mark the unknown bound: . . . We call it death—to them tis life beyond. • • • From a Syracuse pulpit. Sunday, was heard; in effect, ‘one does not hear a group “gossiping gospel”, but it would be a fine thing if there was more "gossiping gospel,” than just gossip!’ • • • Did you ever see a horse eat ice cream cones?, well we did, two of them, on Road 13. south of town, and their owners Mary Miner and Jean Sloan did not even care!, in fact they were also eating some. • • • Monday morning our local photographer, F. Reinbold,= went “out of his way to take a picture.” but it was worthwhile—two on the job patrol boys at the Milford school, watching over the school children at a busy traffic corner, resplendent. in their patrol uniforms from the Milford Volunteer Fire Department, and assisted by Officer Bob Enyeard, equal ly resplendent in his uniform. ♦ • ♦ The South Shore Golf Course grounds at the Country Club Sunday afternoon were beautiful in the setting sun, with tree shadows falling toward the Wawasee Lake road, and the sunset itself over Wawasee Lake, seen from Morrison Island, was outstanding. •• - * “Me and my big mouth.” is a very apt and sometimes productive saying, as a few days ago. in Osceola, on viewing a charming still-life original painting, we i went all out in admiration of this painting by K. Proudfit, and were thereby presented with it. altho being clouded with embarrassment, still managed to hold onto the picture. r Mrs. Proudfit is a daughter oF a famous artist, whose home is an event to visit for the family, and the many pictures and portraits. Another daughter was sitting on: the floor, on cushions, with two paint brushes in one hand, and i between snatches of conversation painting here and there on the portrait of her father. She is just finishing a true photo of ’■ him even catching the lovable ■ Pixie like twinkle of his eyes. Wawasee Village acquired two new electric sign beauties to add to the brilliancy of the Village’s night splendor, and these shine forth from Orval KlinkV building, last weekend. "Klink’s Super Market.” and “Bermeces Beauty Salon.” says the legend, and without statistics on length, width, and how many individual bulbs they take, the bugs will just love them next summer, unless Orval has thought up some other element of ‘disattraction’ for them • • «- A large semi nearly blocked State Road 13. early Monday evening at an odd angle.

Manchester College Art Program Under Way NORTH MANCHESTER — The first in a series of art exhibits at Manchester* College for the current school year was scheduled recently tn the Otho Winger Memorial Recital-Exhibition Hall, with a showing of an Ohio Group Exhibition. announces Professor Max Allen, head of the department of art at Manchester College. This I exhibit consists of water colors and prints by five prominent Ohio artists, and is one of 50 sent out by a Motor Club Advises Against Hitch Hikers Refusing to pick up a hitchhiker may save your life, according to Chas. M. Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor Club. The Club president pointed out that if your life is spared by a hitchhiker, it’s possible that your pocketbook wont be. Many motorists find themselves on the receiving end of personal injury suits started by hitchhikers whom' they so thoughtfully befriended. Illinois and Indiana prohibit standing in a road to solicit a ride. Similar laws are found in other states. There is a penalty on the driver who picks up a hitchhiker in Texas, Minnesota and New Jersey. “When you see a wagging j thumb beckoning you along the roadside, think,” Hayes warned. same thumb may be! clutching a pistol a few minutes: after you permit it to enter your car.” FOR FALL SHOPPERS New styles and designs in all sorts of goods are on the way and | will show up in the stares between now and Christmas, according to CHANGING TIMES, the Kiplinger Magazine. Shoppers will be intrigued by even bigger screened TV sets, smaller radios, odorless paints, mgs made of new synthetic fibers. more prepackaged meats and vegetables, brightly colored furniture. Clothing styles for men are in a period of upheaval, with emphasis on dark suits and uncon- , ventional colors in ties, shirts. . and sportswear. New body and motor designs are scheduled for at least a half dozen cars. Innovations ahead for the -kitchen include electric frying *pans which stew, braise and thaw Ifnwen foods: toasters equipped with thermostats to assure satisfactory toast no matter what kind of bread is used; copper- • plated garbage pails; sevenpound vacuum cleaners which handle from the shoulder; and electric table ovens for potatoes. ■ rolls, biscuits. A minor boom is expected in electric hot water cups — good for everything from j ' brewing instant coffee to boiling | eges. _ AH this fresh merchandise is. expected to put fire under slow-to-buy customers. Experts hopei high volume of retail sales will guarantee that business conditions will be healthy through the winter. Be sure there is plenty of clear highway ahead when you speed up to pass-a car. says the Chicago Motor Club. Passing on narrow pavement is dangerous. Taking chances can be suicide. Onlv a Crosley car could U turn north, of Fleischauer’s Texaco Service. Only a Crosley car could turn there but wouldn't on 13’s | busy highway, but a semi, no surely not. Sara was disposed to tarry and argue the matter, but with time a-wastin. we just ambled along mind’n our own business for | a change. ‘

the Studio Guild. Ten of the shows represent artists in ten states, a new feature of the Guild which they hope to expand to cover all states in the near future. Members of the Ohio group are David Skeggs. chairman. Benj. Dodds. Beatrice Fried Newman. Pat Vacarro and Evelyn Wentz. Reflected in this group, made up of young artists all experimenting with orginal ideas and ways of expressing themselves without copying traditional styles of painting, is the pioneer spirit. Art Interest, Inc.. Toledo, Ohio, awarded Miss Wentz three scholarship grants, one each in 1951. 1952, 1954. for her experimental work, and the Toledo Museum gave her a one-man exhibition in February. 1952. David Skeggs. art director at Youngstown College the past few years, organized the group and has now accepted an offer as art director of the art center in Sioux City, lowa. In his absence he has appointed Beatrice Newman,to act as chairman of the Ohio Group. Mrs. Newman is the winner of many prizes and is represented in museums throughout the country.

The initial object of this drive is to have the parents of every child in school become a member of P.-TA. The ultimate goal of this drive is to build our P.-TA. into an organization of such strength and representation that it will be able to obtain outstanding results in any problem which may confront our schools or school children so that the organization may help our children to have the greatest safety and the finest education obtainable. Also, through biulding a powerful organization it will be possible to aid in promoting the desired understanding between parents and teachers. In order to help your child’s classroom to win this contest it is necessary that you as a parent, put I your name and address, the name of your child and his or her teacher’s name on a slip of paper, and enclose this along with 25 cents for each parent in an envelope. Then, have your child give the envelope to his or her teacher at school who in turn will give it to the Treasurer of the P.-T.A. for recording. Your membership card will then be given to your child to be brought home to you. At the end of the drive the classroom which has the largest number of P.-TA. members credited to it will receive the Nature Atlas. Get behind your children and your community and join the P.TA Notice of meetings will be published in the Syracuse-Wawa-see Journal during the week preceding the meeting and will also be announced by flyers sent home with the school children. We will also have an attendance contest for each meeting resulting in a special treat for the children of the classroom having the largest number of parents present at the meeting.
