Farm Bureau Opposes Shift To Fast Time Solid opposition to the increasingly popular shift to Daylight Saving Time was voiced by 260 delegates at the 36th annual convention of the Indiana Farm Bureau in Indianapolis Friday. A proposal for a state-wide referendum on the matter was shouted down and the Bureau’s tradional stand in favor of Standard Time reaffirmed. In another field delegates called for a two-cent increase in the state gasoline tax to match Federal road building funds available to Indiana. One cent of the tax would be used for that purpose, and the other would go to tity, county andSutte road departments. •Delegates resolved that “our present state laws fail to provide any means for construction of school buildings other than a property tax” and suggested a 2! per cent surtax on the gross in come tax for five years to finance new school buildings. Takes Stand on Water As far as water resources are concerned the Bureau recom mended that "water be declared a natural resource" and a- public utility. It recommended creation of a new agency to administer the use and allocation of waters. Nationally, the Bureau urged all efforts to be directed toward universal disarmament for peace; attack Communism as a menace to American institutions; called for additional agricultural research. and supported the new Social Security law for farmers. The farm people were greeted on the opening day of the convention last Thursday by Lt. Governor Harold Handley who told them that “the future of the American farmer is a glorious one. Fewer farmers are growing rnore food, on fewer acres, while the nation's population is growing at the rate of almost three million per year." "This has already made ridiculous those prophets of doom who were predicting just two decades ago that we would reach our population zen.th by 1-950. It also makes ridiculous the fears of those who say we will be plagued for a long while to come with farm overproduction”, the state official said. Veteran's Day ceremony. This was intereNting to us. Miss Stieglitz Second Grade News We were pleased to have Mrs. Mullins and Buddy. Mrs. Hall and Mary Ellen. Margaret and Monroe. Mrs Willard. Mrs. Hursey.

Fifth Grade News Dick Kowallik and Freddy Crews are taking part in their regular music and band classes now that the program for National Education Week is over. The I two boys, who had the most parts 'to leant in the dictionary play. "Tim Makes a Friend,” had given up their music and band periods lin order to practice their parts. Thanks to Mr. Gustafson for allowing them to be excused from classes, also to Mrs. Crews and Mrs. Kowallik for their parts in helping these young actors with their lines. A word of appreciation is also given here to the rest of the fifth grade members for the splendid job they did on their "own” while the entire group in J the play was practicing We've had two pupils who hare ! come to school half an hour late since we changed to different time. In winter weather, according to safety experts, speeds must be reduced. What was a safe speed on dry pavement may be too fast on ice or snow-covered curves. Brakes are one-tenth as effective on icy roads as on dry pavement. says the Chicago Motor Club. So. for safety in winter, drive more slowly. And. if p<x*ible. apply brakes before hitting an icy stretch or curve.

Sara Cuse Says ♦. By Ardis Larson. “OQOh! that rhinestone necklace, I don’t have one of those,” was heard from a pretty girl in a group of guys and gals in down town Indianapolis, window shopping on the weekend. The necklace was a beauty, but the escort showed no such delight. . Saturday morning, on Monument Circle. Indianapolis, Sara could not resist asking the wielder of a big broom on the Monument steps, how long it took to sweep all those steps. The worker, Albert Lloyd, said, “from 8 a.m. until about 10:15, but with another worker an the other set of steps, it totals about 5 hours, ordinarily, but when there is snow it takes several men to clear them. Sasha Ann Hire is in the large singing group of girls, known as he Indiana Belles, of Indiana University, pictured in the 25 October issue of Life Magazine. School news, written by the locel grade and high school students, seems on the upbeat. Sounds like they’ve been studying jorunalism. “Where did you find that?!’’, said many ’Cusans, recently when Sara .was wearing a 3 diminsional glittered star, as a coat lapel pretty. “Bet you could use it as Christmas Decor?" “Sure, we can, thats what the lady said”, we answered, for Mrs. Laurence Kahn, the starmaker. A couple of Boner Lake clippedwinged ducks took off recently, wings or no wings, now how can that be? Coming “back to the mines" one time, we observed a large hole in the south wall of the Journal office, went snooping, and found that "Rose” had flown! No store, no Rosie Baumgartner! Up and down Main Street we went, all of a sudden, there by the Pickwick Loung. we saw some jewelry in a window, and thinking surely we were in Chicago or New York, rubed the epes, took another look, and there in plain view was a jewel of a store, a high ranking affair that would be thoroughly at home in swank big city buildings. It’s home is Syracuse however, and it; is one of the highlights of downtown Syracuse. When the Journal office gets i "spread out” in the former Rose Jewelry place, that’ll be another highlight, for it’ll shorten our uphill climb by some 2 dozen steps. You can take your dear, we mean deer, by the pound or ton, to Fred Nolan’s Market, just south of the B & O R.R. the former Yoder Grocery, and have it processed, etc. Well, you can still take your dear, she might find soma? thing else there to thin out yom billfold, but according to No»S, it’ll be worth while. ■ »' Peter M. LaCava Sr. owner of the Casa Maria, Morrison Island, Wawasee Lake, and also Justice of the Peace in Mishawaka for 26 years, was re-elected early this month, for another 4 year term. LaCava. whose entire family Is talented musically, is also known as. "The Singing Justice”. His 4th daughter’s wedding is elsewhere Jn this issue. When asked by this reporter. at the wedding. “How is the father of the bride?” he answered. "With this 4th bride, rtn used to it”. Saw in the paper about another farmer losing his arm in a com picker, and wondered to the spouse about so many such accidents, and received the answer in effect, “Well the average farmer is not mechanically minded, as to power, he figures he can hit it or pull something, and fix things, without turning off the power, he should realize that as long as the thing is powered, and operating, it’ll do things to who or what gets in the way! Students should take’courses that would wise them up to such things.” Word from Eric Larson in Honolulu. attending the University of Hawaii, finds him berthed in the Club 100. a Veterans’ Club, as evening desk clerk, for his room. Club privileges, TV. typewriter, etc. and kitchen privileges, and a fair monthly salary in addition. Evidently Larson senes as host also, as the Democratic Party there, wound up its campaign in the Club with a big party, and he was caught in a. quote, "whirle of t discussions, introductions, etc..” j end of quote, contrary to local politics here, in Honolulu, Demo- f crats were ahead. I In his "spare” time. Eric, although he Hked his room, redecorated it. tinted the cement floor green, waxed it. constructed a Hollywood bed. washed the furniture. and made a flower vase.

Motor Cbb Gives ’ Hints On Winter Care Starting an auto in cold weather doesn't have to be a game of chance, the Chicago Motor Club today advised motorists. Just take a few precautions and your car will respond even when the mercury takes a dive. For quicker starting, the Motor Club suggests that motorists: 1. Do not pump the accelerator. This usually floods the carburetor, and .you’ll then run down the battery. as you continue to press on the starter. 2. Keep the clutch in on autos with conventional gear shifts. This disengages the gears, keeps them from turning in the transmission. and eliminates a drag on the starter. 3. Refrain from using other electrical equipment while starting, such as radio, heater, defroster. lights, and windshield wipers. Thus there’ll be no excessive drain on the battery. Once the car is started, it’s best to let the engine run a few minutes before driving off in order to allow proper lubrication. Failure to do this may lead to serious expensive mechanical repairs, help insure prompt and efficient Proper maintenance also can j starting, the Motor Club points ! out. And it’s a wise motorist who gets his car winterized before the | cold weather strikes. i Winterization means more than just adding a standard brand of antifreeze to your radiator. It also calls for a check of the ignition system, fuel pump and battery, and the applying of lightweight grade grease and oil. Special attention should be given the battery during the cold months and a weekly check is advised. Another aid in cold weather starting is the use of a gasoline additive, which keeps the gas line from freezing and insures proper flow to the carburetor. Using a good premium gasoline is an added assist. p FRIENDLY NEIGHBORS Friendly Neighbors met at the ■ Turkey Creek Conservation Club 1 . House. November 3rd. Meeting , was opened by the president.
