Table of Comments By the Editor • We were honored the other day by a visit from the "Old Man of the Lakes." Seems his wife is away and things being sort of lonesome around the place, he just wanted to visit a bit. and leave us this bit of verse. < Marie, we think you should hurry home.) When MOM Is Away Though the sun is shining brightly At night there is the moon There is something wrong, when you are gone— » It doesn’t seem like home. The napkins and’ the table cloth Are not quite fresh, you see. The cat and dog look at each other And then they look at me. The dog will settle for a bone; The cat says Meow. Meow Rausch* Whoever told you this is the way That you should keep a house? The nights and days both come and go And also does the rain- " We all keep looking up the road. But so far all in vain. • ; The papers they keep piling up; The sink, it shows some rust. To heck with that.'Up going to bed. . But—das ist mcht quite alles.

I’m not say- i ing there is never a dufll candidate, involved Now and then there is / such a one t/iat creeps in on some; off-season, but all in all a k. pretty crafty lot. I feel like coming | to their aid from way out here! where the filet mignqns may not be cut quite so thick perchance.' 'but where our health is Just as I good and . our girth probably not quite so prominent. Anyway. I am I inclined to think when elected they will give us what we want if they only know. 11l tell’em—it • might help them dowiji there come November if they pay heed. Out here we don’t want more Govt.— we want less Govt. We can run our own shebang if our State has more of the say—so versus! listening to Sambo. We need no expensive advice on running our • power houses, ourmanner of employing our citizens. We feel like the Courts and the Army and the Navy can keep the Govt. 100 per cent busy. Who are iwe that we don’t know what is good for us. Wlxat we want, more than any other one thing, is to be left alone. I crave to pick up a paper some A.

Last week’s Journal contained a story about the unique diversion of erstwhile Halloween pranking into a worthwhile crusade to help the world’s needy children. We want to»call attention to Mrs Connolly’s article. We understand that there has been some opposition to the UNECEF campaign because some local citizens do not "beieive in” the United Nations. If this is true, some .comment is necessary. . Within the past year, this writer has had many, opportunities to observe the conditions under which people live in other lands. In Seoul. Korea, he has stood upon the debris-littered street! of that once great capital, now in ruins, and watched thousands of little Korean children on their way to school, much like our own children. with these differences—<l> Many of these children had not had any break! ast . nor would they have-any lunch. For most of them, one thin helping of “kempchi” is| the daily food ration 1 (3) On the particular morning in question. December 24. 1953. the temperature stood at 30 degrees above aero. By far. the majority of the! children observed had ONE thickness of outer clothing. No warm dress, no coats.—just a very thin cotton garment, and in many pases. no underclothing at all. Yet some of these children were walking a mile or more to school. One does not have to believe tn the United Nations in order to help our own kids support the United Nations International Childrens Emergency Fund. If one "believes in" the desirability of , eating, or of being property I; clothed, that is all that is necess- J ary. Let’s go all out this Halloween, in helping our own kids help ocher , kids which, incidentally, helps our j own kids more than you may < think. u

Cast Says Reds Back Demos In Elections Republican State Chairman Alvin C. Cast reported Monday that “documentary evidence” has been uncovered which indicates organized Commtinist support behind the Democratic party in the November 2 elections. Cast charged a 23-page pamphlet has been circulated throughout, the country by the national headquarters of the Communist Party since, last April urging Communist workers to support the election of Democratic candidates. According to Cast, the pamphlet calls on Communist workers and sympathizers to work for the defeat of a Republican Congress in 1954 and the. £ efeat of the Repub- | lican presidential candidate two years from now. The Communist party booklet : aso advises because the time is not ’ ripe for the emergence of a political party which is dirocty controlled by the Communists, the best way for Communists to achieve these goals is through the existing machinery of the Democratic party.

‘Springtime’At High School Tomorrow Night by Casey Powell “Rabbits worth $300.00 apiece? 1 A formal coat being dyed bright. yeUow? The hot seat of learning?” i If these are a few of your worry-1 ing symtoms, why not come to the j Senior Class Play, “A Case of • Springtime.” tomorrow night ini the High School Auditorium at I 7:30 pxn. Have you ever wondeiW why a j nice-looking, likable feUow of j eighteen, best intentions always; seem to backfire? Well, meet Bob Parker, played by Charles Haffner and the answer will be obvious, i Bob at present is fighting desperately against the competition l of a “college man” for the affection of his girl—and Bob is willing ■ to go to any extremes to come out on top. Betty. Kay Adams, is Bob’s ■sister. She is a pert, vivacious girl and really quite fond of Bob. but. then, she has her own problems—and is likely to take Bob’s troubles rather lightly at times. Besides she’s all wrapped up | m Eddie who is going to be a "college man” himself next year and Betty is “thrilled” over the prospect. Dickie, played by Joe Shewman. I is Bob’s kid brother. He is thirteen and is an extremely self-sufficient youngster with an amusing air of superiority. He pretends to be annoyed at the way Gwen, follows him around, but confidentially he enjoys it. and is to smart to let her know it. It’s his “secret power over women.’’ Mr. Parker. Tom Koble. is in his forties and somewhat gruff and stem on the surface. ITus is partly a sham, for he likes to pretend I that he has definite ideas on how to bring up his chidreln. but most of the time they him. Underneath, however, he’s really a sweet guy. Mrs. Parker. Jane Kroh. is her husband’s age. and the mediator of the family As such, she leads a busy life. Although more tolerant of her children’s ways than her husband, even she is sometimes baffled. Louella. the Parkers’ maid, is played by Casey Powell. Louella is; willing but not bright; shuffles! rather than walks. Gwen Anderson? Phyllis George, is a sweet little girl of Dickie s age who worships Dickie and trails after him like a faithful puppy. Joan Abemaker, Dixie Dorsey, is Bob’s age. pretty, even when she is mad. and terribly fond of Bob.' Eddie Abemaker, Clifford Byrd, is the loud type, hail and hearty, who has a “way with girls.” Mr. Abemaker. the school principal, played by Lee Oyler, is a teg man. and a forceful one. He rules the roost in his home. The P. T. A. ladies are Mrs. Brunswick. Charlotte Haffner, who is a large, formidable woman, with a booming voice and a bossy maimer; Mrs. Hill. Gloria Hart, is just the opposite—a tiny, birdlike creature with a fussy manner; and Mrs. James. Barbara Thornburg, a stony-faced woman who speaks drily. The Plainclochesman. Arthur Coy. is the law. and looks the part. Miss Bright from the zoo. is played by Lenora Reagan. She has an eager smile and manner and is fluttery. You have just read a brief sketch of the play Like it? Sure you did. Just one last question: •Does Bob ever get the kiss he’s been trying so desperately to steal from Joan?” For that answer and : the rest, be sure to see “A Case of . Springtime” tomorrow night. Tickets are on sale from any Senior or at the door. ■ —— — I No matter how wealthy you are, i one of the things you can’t afford i is an accident’ 1

|P. I. Learns Os Atomic Survival Chances Here K “What are our Ch?nces of Survival in case of an Atsnrc Bomb being dropped here?” said Paul Lei ernier before the P.T.A. asjsembly. Tuesday Night 19 October ; 1954 at the High School building. ; I He then answered his own quest-' , ion, “Use common sense and keep! j your head”, and added in effect, I ; “you may not keep your hair, for in case of a severe burn, you get: real sick, and your hair falls out, I but there’s no death from radiation. and the hair comes back”. Mr. Devemier, in his talk, was following one>df the special con-: ceims of the National Parent | Teacher Association, “safety of the | community’s residents and pre-1 veition of panic in public dis-1 as:ers,” by instructing parents, ‘ teachers and youth in self-protec-tion. 1 The Atomic Bomb is a current fear in many minds, uninstructed in prevention measures and safeguarding against radiation, and although one may have printed instiuctions on hand. Levemier’s audience gained much from the spoken word. The speaker also explained fully “why the Atomic Bomb costs us so much money”, due to the protective measures which must be taken to safeguard the workers against radiation. Mr. Levernier says “A bomb plant is so fantastic, it ranks with the unbelievable Buck ’Rogers”. It was a most interesting and instructive talk, as Levernier knew his subject. The meeting had open-, ed with the assemblage led by Mirs. Frank Stefanski, in singing “America”, followed by the PTA ‘ Prayer by president Paul Levemiei\ During the business session.

Syracuse Plays Milford Nov. 2 In First Game By Billy Dorsey Hurrah! Hurrah! Basketball time is here once again. Coach Jim Hughes, local mentor, has been drilling the varsity in preparation for the Yellow Jacket’s first game which is on November 2, at Milford. Coach Hughes feels, “Syracuse can have a good season if the boys really have the desire to win. This desire to win always involves plenty of hard work and the sacrificihg of some things they would ordinarily like to do.” Four of last year’s starting five are back including: Seniors, Tom Koble and Bdb Denton; Sophomores. Nelson Kistler and Larry- , Nicolai. But by no means do these boys have their starting positions insured because a lot of the other boys have improved during the summer and are making these boys jump to regajji their-starting positions. Heading this hist are". Seniors. Stover Hire and Charles Haffner: Juniors. Jim Connolly, Chuck Zimmerman. Tom Ryman, and Larry Mock: Sophomores, Jim Caskey and Chuck Largen. Largen. a newcomer from Attica. is a big six-footer and is certainly making a bid for a starting; position. All of the boys are working hbrd and looked good in practice with a few rough i spots now and then. Syracuse has no really tall boys this year but they have several boys six foot or better. However, whatever they lack in height thVy will make up in speed and willingI ness to win. Milford and Pierceton loom ! power in the bounty, and the Yellow Jackets test that power in 1 the first J games of their schedule. So let s get behind our team j and attend the games regularly, as they will certainly appreciate it. Tickets may be bought from all members of the team or they may be bought at the high school. — ALMOST DROWNED IN RACE | Teresa Stummer, three-year-old ! daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert' Stummer. narrowly escaped I I drowning last Thur, when she fell; into the race beside the Stummer. residence.

Wickard Blasts Administration Farm Policy Following are excerpts from an address delivered Thursday, October 21 at Monticello by Claude R. Wickard of Camden, Indiana, Secretary of Agriculture 1940-45, and Rural Electrification Administrator, 1945-53. t The Republicans forced through a reluctant Congress a farm bill which is going to permit fann income to go down far and fast, and no one played a greater part in the forcing than the Congressman from the Second District of Indiana. if you know who I mean. I don’t- believe the leadership j would have been successful if the : Congress and the people had not j been confused by a conglomerai tion of misleading statements, i half-truths, false assumptions, and erroneous conclusions. I really believe few farmers know the facts about how low the Secretary of Agriculture may put price supports under the new law, and you all know how the present one likes to put them down. The confusion grows out of the socalled 82*2 percent compromise. It wasn’t a compromise, it was a postponement. The 82 1 2 pehcent level is just for 1955. After that it goes down to 75%. Another thing is that a modernized parity is going to be .put into ' effect. Now modernized in this instance means—you guessed it—- ; lower in all instances. When the modernized parity and the new I loan provisions go into full effect, ; the Secretary may put the loan ' level on corn at forty cents lower ' than he can this year. Pruth McFarlin Pleases Audience At Recital By Barbara Thornburg The Pruth McFarlin vocal reelI tai at the high school auditorium I Monday was enjoyed by all. Mr. McFarlin is an extremely [talented singer who has his own ! radio program every’ Saturday ; morning at 10:30 on WLS Chicago. When an epidemic of polio hit ! Pensacola, Florida, in 1918, of the nine' children stricken. Mr. McFarlin was one of the two who survived. However, he was badly strickened in his lower limbs. The program lasted nearly an hour, beginning with the beautiful "Lord’s Prayer,” and including from the “Student Prinfc.” popular spirituals and othersongs. His accompanist was Miss Sarah Hedrick, whose composition, "Pocoharrtas.” has brought her fame as a composer.
