Our Readers Write

To the Editor: Last Thursday the writer had the pleasure of spending an evenwith our fire department and left with the feeling Syracuse should be very' proud of them. Mr. Johnson of American La/ France Apparatus gave two deraony strations out in a field near the sanitary plant — the use of airfoam liquid on oil and grease fires and wetter water on fires that are difficult to extinguish but persist in smoldering. With the airfoam Liquid Mr. Johnson demonstrated the quick ness with which an oil fire can be put out. This was followed by a demonstration of putting out a Tire of a stack of baled straw with wetter water. Using a special chemical solution, Mr. Johnson demonstrated the penetration o f wetter water, contrasted with regular water that has a tendency to flow off seeking its level. This was followed by a meeting in the fire station, and it was a pleasant feeling to observe how much our volunteer fire department knows about the latest meth : ods of fighting fires.

This * restaurant was known to a smaU . coterie as “The Tooth and Gorge’’ [ or “The Greasy Spoon.” At Mill ford Junction, too, some time could be killed at a little eating i establishment across the tracks, [ where the .flies outnumbered the i customers twenty to one. It was i muc hmore pleasant to resort to 1 the shoe box in the shady little park back of the station, where the . soft aeolian hum of the wind ! through the telegraph wires and the constant clicking of the instru- • meats played an accompaniment to the usual cooling breeze. A variation of this trip, avoiding the long whit at the Junction, could be made by wiring Miles Livery at Milford for a horsedrawn rig to drive the ten miles to the Lake — through frequent dust clouds and the ever-present perfume of the horses. For the young fry. the journey from Indianapolis to the Junction was plain torture The trip was delayed beyond reason by stops at Fortville. Ingalls., Pendleton. Anderson. Alexandria, buinmitville. Fairmount. Jonesboro. Manon. La Fontaine. Treaty. Wabash. Urbana, liolivcr. North Manchester (Mhnrc many strangely garbed Mennonites invariably boarded the train). Silver Lake. Claypool, Warsaw.

After the lengthy wait at Milford June--1 tion. at long, long last came the boaording of the E&O for the remaining ten miles to the Lake. Then, as the train slowed down, ’ came the ecstatic thrill for the .youngsters -— ‘ every bit as good ’as Christmas morning —of catching from the car window a blessed glimpse of the back of the cottage, across the cornfields, almost hidden in its grove of trees, with the 1 glittering Lake beyond’ Then came the breathless haste for the jump down to the platform of the old open-front shed station that stood by the road which still crosses what is now the goM course Trains were met by Mr. John Riddle and his bus. which had seats along each side.

LAW ENFORCEMENT A Statement by FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover TO ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS: As America stands on the threshold of daring and remarkable scientific achievements which promise to dwindle the universe about us, the law enforcement profession ipay be proud of the equally giant strides it has made in crime-fight-ing techniques during this century. The FBI is most fortunate that in an era of progress never before witnessed in the law enforcement field, it has the honor of being associated with this great and forceful movement for the betterment of mankind in this Nation. Nothing so graphically illustrates why our profession has grown than the one word “cooperation,” and achievements such as those recorded below are indeed symbols of the peace officer's acceptance and utilization of joint crusades against the lawless: During the fiscal year 1961. local enforcement officers in ail 50 States and the District of Columbia availed themselves of the senices of the FBI Laboratory. The Laboratory reached new records with the receipt of 40,662 requests for assistance involving 224,183 scientific examinations of 186,378 specimens of evidence.

More than 13,900 law enforcement agencies, substantially every one in this country, submitted in fiscal year 1961 an average of just under 22.000 fingerprint cards a day to the FBI resulting, among other things, in the identification of over 1.500 wanted persons each mouth for local. State, and Federal law enforcement agencies. Fiscal year 1961 brought another record for the eight consecutive year when FBI Agents located for local authorities 1.418 criminals who had fled across State lines in violation of the Federal Fugitive Felon Act. Working shoulder to shoulder with the FBI. local authorities continue to make this Act work as Congress intended it should. In the same fiscal year, more than 88.000 local law enforcement officers attended 3.464 police training schools in which the FBI assisted. June. 1961. brougnt a milestone in our profession’s advancement with graduation of the 67th Session of the FBI National Academy which increased to over 4.000 the number of local officers who have graduated from this specialized training school. At the same time, information obtained by the FBI from inform ants was used by local. State, and other Federal agencies to arrest 2,640 wanted persons and to recover $1,605,047 in stolen and contraband merchandise. Between January and July of 1961, more than 50,000 pieces of criminal intelligence obtained by the FBI from varied sources were disseminated to local, State, and Federal agencies resulting in untold disruption of underworld schemes. This is but a part of the score in the mortal contest against the criminal marauders who have too long believed they can plunder our country unchallenged. FBI Agents, just as they lend all possible aid to their colleagues in law enforcement, receive invaluable assistance daily from fellow officers throughout the Nation. Every day which passes imbues the law enforcement officer with the knowledge, the inspiration. and the confidence which will topple the empires of criminals as fast as they try to build them. This knowledge, this inspiration, and this confidence are born of a growing brotherhood among law enforcement agencies ” SEALS WANTED—In letters to the clerks of the other 91 Indiana counties John 'Shank. Pulaski County clerk, requested impressions of their county seals. He’s making a collection of them. RAIN OR SHINE—The Delphi Journal tells of a Carroll County farmer. Ernie Scott, who carries hxs outboard motor along with him on his plow so that in case of rain the motor is handy so he can go fishing in one of the nearby lakes.

, <> ne ugwt room tuwessh_ THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7 Read Romans 1:9—16 I am not ashamed of the gospel: it is the power of God for salvation to every one who has faith. (Romans 1:16. KSV J On one of my preaching errands, a Muslim asked uie to tell about the transforming power of Jesus Christ. I gave him the following reply, based on personal experience of Christ’s saving power. The moment a man believes in Christ, his duty lies in the direction of the individuals around him and in the business of life. The battle is never finished in our own salvation alone. We become God’s chosen instruments for transforming this world. The saving power of Jesus must go down into society and change it at the very roots. The very first step that a man lakes when he becomes a Christian, after the regeneration of his heart, is to those regenerating forces into the world. Wherever the Christian goes and whatever he does, the light of that redeeming power is to shine continually , ft is to shine on business, on love, on pleasure, on wealth — on everything. This transforming power is the greatest need in this atomic age. PRAYER: Our Father, we thank Thee that through Thy Son all men can ge transformed. Help us to become channels for the spread of Thy transforming power. In Christ’s name. Amen. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Christ., the Savior of the world, comes to sinners with His transforming power.

All persons in the area, who have not already been contacted by Civil Defense workers, are urged to Contact Mrs. Penick or Mrs. Gilbert if they have available shelter 'of any kind to house others if a disaster occurs. Mrs. Penick would like to know the capacity of the housing, cooking and toilet facilities, food supply, heating, ventilation, first aid, and whether a portable generator is available. The local Civil Defense organization is part of the nation-wide group who are answering an appeal by Pres. Kennedy and the Federal Government to have each area of the couhty surveyed for possible survival facilities. Mrs. Penick pointed out that other regions including the cities of Fort Wayne and South Bend have already made similar studies and have adequate facilities lined up in case of emergencies. She would also be interested in know ing of any home bomb shelter in the area other than one already reported.

LAWN SEEDING Best chance for establishing a good bluegrass-fescue lawn is from autumn seeding. That is the contention of the Lawn Institute, and the finding of most experiment stations in the northern two-thirds of the nation. Bluegrass seed mixtures can be successfully sown in the spring, but autumn results are even better. There are many advantages to autumn seeding, but paramount is the fact that Kentucky bluegrass. fine fescue and Highland bentgrass perforin best during the cooler weather of autumn and spring, while the weeds do not. Autumn seeding provides an “edge” in favor of the grasses, that enables them to root deeply, fill tightly before weed coinpetion, summer drought, and hot weather ills make rough going for the new seedling. Natural advantages are not only for the bluegrass mixture. Soils are dry and tillable in autumn, for the lawnmaker’s convenience. Warm soil causes seed to sprout quickly. Shorter days and crisp nights reduce evaporation, lessening the water chores. And it is pleasant outdoors most autumn i week-ends, with fewer demands on ■ a gardener’s time. Read The Classifieds
