EDITORIAL The Meed For Training Ft: Wiiyno Journal-Gazette The American people have a big job ahead oji them on both the international and domestic scenes. We all know, regardless of the debate now going on. that everything is not'at its best in this BEST of all possible worlds. The times are changing and those who do not want to be left behind must change with them. There is no percent age in pretending that the effort which was good enough 10 >ears ago is good enough today. More and more the world is being run by trained men and women. There is a real need to be trained in a complex age. In The Northeast Corner It’s Time To Think About Boating Again By Bill Spurgeon Os lively interest to anyone interested in boats and boating, and this includes almost even one any more, is a 12-page detachable advertising supplement published b> Johnson Motors, in the March edition of Reader's Digest. Boatirg is a •growing business, and it has been for a number ot years as local boatyard operators and other summertime enthusiasts can testify. The Johnson supplement in the Digest is. of course, aimed at the outboard segment of the boat business, and that. too. is growing by leaps and bounds The supplement tells how anyone can enjoy boating, whether it be for a one-or-two hour spin around one of the inland lakes, or ah elaborate trip down one of America’s popular waterways. Naturally. :: :> gratifying to be in a community where an industry like this has a large effect on the economy. This community's many desirable lakes make it topnotch for summer or year-around residence, and the growing business economy of Syracuse has attracted many new residents for that reason Syracuse town marshals, it appears. are bound and determined to keep up with the times, and it was with some interest we read in a recent edition of the Journal that peputy Marshal Fred Personnette made a traffic arrest, and obtained a plea of guilty in justice oi the peace court, on the basis of tire skid marks. Only a few days before we read In a Cleveland newspaper that police there were being trained in the use of skidmarks. from brake application time, in the determination of speed, and it was noted that such skidmark observations are quite reliable. It was also noted in tRe Cleveland article that use of skidmarks in speed detenrir.aiicn lay law officers is fair to the motorist involved, inasmuch as the speed judged from such marks is usually LOWER than the actual]speed at the time. It provides a good minimum basis on whictyan arrest can be based, it was noted. 1 Several weeks ago the conductor of this corner noted a car, in the traveled portion of Ind 13 near bid US. 23, late at night. A call to the Indiana State Police Post at Ligonier from North Webster (we were headed north at the time' drew the matter to the troopers’ attention, and by the time we had traveled another five miles toward Syracuse we passed a trooper, enroute south to check out the doubtful vehicle, which was blocking the southbound lane and was not displaying any lights. This is the kind of service which over the years has given the Indiana State Police the high professoral reputation th*y npw have.

Still Time To Topdress Wheat Farmers in central and northern Indiana who have been unable tb get on their wheat fields to apply fertilizer need not be discouraged—there's still time to topdress the crop this spring. Purdue University agronomists point out that spring topdressing has paid well on partically all light colored soils and on some dark colored soils where wheat has followed crops other than clover alfalfa. Recommended rates range from 25 to 30 pounds of actual nitrogen on heavier soils in central and northern Indiana to 40 to 50 pounds on lighter colored, sandier soils. Either solid nitrogen fertilizer or non-pressure solutions may be used. Some farmers prefer high nitrogen mixtures, such as 10-10-10. or higher similar ratios for topdressing. They believe that the mineral nutrients help establish legumes seeded in the wheat. Purdue trials at Lafayette showed that topdressing in late March and early April gave about equally effective, excellent results. Rainfall the previous summer has been a guide to the chances of paying yield increases. Following wet summers, good yields resulted from topdressing. After dry summers, with much less than average rainfall from June through August, yield increases were less. Announces Increase American United Life Insurance Company announced increase to 4% a interest on dividends and other deposits, along with several additional liberalizations. The company, with home office in Indianapolis, has increased dividends and excess income rates for the third time in four year'v on its current policy series and on all earlier policy series.

Social Security Changes May Allow More Payments Recent changes in the social security program allow payments to many people previously denied. Anyone who has tried to get social security checks within the past six years, but was turned down because of too little work credit, may now be eligible. According to Herbert O. Bultemeier, district manager of the Elkhart Social Security Office, many retired workers may get social security checks because the work requirements are now easier to meet. Many workers bom after 1888, and many survivors who died since 1953 will be helped by this change in the work requirements. Bultemeier said that no one knows exactly how many are in this area. His staff is trying to locate all those who will be helped by this change. Anyone who was turned down for retirement or monthly death payments winthin the last six years, should contact the Elkhart office .The social security people can check and see if the new changes will help. The office is at 515 S. Third St. in Elkhart. Purdue T£fciversity horticulturists suggest tltaLjiousq plants which have been outdoors all summer should be repotted, fertilized and brought into the home before cold weather starts. A few tablespoons of commercial fertilizer in a gallon of water could be used to settle the soil around roots of the plant after replanting.
