"YEARS AGO"

SO YEARS AGO Sept. 14, 1911 Douglas Lung carries the belt for raising big muskmelons. He brought one in last week for us to sample. The melon resembled a big pie squash in size ahd shape but not so when we applied the knife. We found the meat to be of fine texture and excellent flavor. Mr. Lung has been 13 years m the propagation of this variety. Brainard s .Dept. Store advertised large and complete line of bed blankets from 69c and up. Irv Rasor and family moved from Mrs. Knorr’s property on Huntington St. into the old hotel on the hill- ' • . * .» A pension -of $4 a week for every man and woman over 6(1 years of age is what Repr Victor L. Berger, the Socialist member of Congress, wants and he has introduced a bill providing for it. “The old working men and working women are entitled to a living outside of the poorhouse and without the aid of private charity,” Repr. Berger says Charles Nicolai and Elmer Ott are well pleased with the" patronage they are having at their new cider mill northcast of town Messrs. Nicolai and Ott have a mill that will turn out ‘hb barrels a day an<| TO one need wait long for their cider. 20 YEARS AGO Sept. 12, 1941 L Hi Ho’ and merrily we go f'fet Wedm-'day Afternoon Club held the opening meeting of the s< .<- n Wed Sept 10 Transportation waiting for the ladies who met at the Library caruvaned 'to Sargents Hotel Hostesses were Esther Stoelting, Alice Clark.

What Is Communist Appeal to So Many? by Frank A. White Every thinking Hoosier has ed hiin-elf at one time or another what is there about Communism that is so appealing that it has engulfed two thirds ’of the p> << pies of the world U S Senator Vance Hartke has inserted in the Congressional Record thoughts of Rev. .Lambert Brose. who wrote-in the Lutheran magazine. Witness, on the subject Here are highlights The average Hoosier tthinks of the communist as a bcwiiiskered Bolshevik a dirty, ui haved hum. a skid row: type derelict, portrayed in newspaper cartoons The 1961 style Commimist Barty member is not ‘‘ugly” at all to millions <>f people in certain parts of the world who think he’s "1n... utiful " Communism it etf, 1961. version, is not repulsive hut attractive to the natural instincts and desires of many. ' Christians fail to comprehend how beautiful communism is to people of Asia. Africa Latin Amer teas and many other undeveloped countries Os course the people of. Hungary and Eastern Europe who have seen communism as it is, know it is really the u. lines- at its worst. For one thing communism has not changed since the day of Marx and Engel. It s aim is to liquidate all those who cannot be indoctrinated MANY FACES PRESENTED BY COMMUNISM TODAY Communism in its quest to dominate the world, presents many faces. In the cold war of World War 111 now being fought, it presents to others loans, medicine, food, machinery, literature, a type of culture of a kind, and many promises. Out of 200 million people in Russia, only one in 40 i- a member of the communist party. Red China has 700 million people and there only one m 100000 is a member of the communist party. What we Christians who have the old concept of communism fail to realize is, the communist party takes only the best, the cream of the crop. The party members arc among the best educated, the top 5" of their class, those both brilliant and dedicated to the partyhue

Os course this education is false and they are not really the best By Christian standards communists are fools The Bible tells us k'that fOOls >ay -tn their heart. 1 here is no God.” Communists masquerade as tolerant to churches and tn religion. In truth, one has to be a militant atheist to be a'communist and the communists work around theiclock to destroy religion. ■ STARVING PEOPLE ASK FOR FOOD FROM REDS It is hard for Americans, groan mg under our crop surpluses to realize how potent the communist 1 promise of bread is Three fourths of the people of the world go to bed daily hungry In so many countries. Avia. Latin Americas, and elsewhere, there is no middle class, only the rich and the poor. The communists raise the issue of tt being right for some to be so rich and well fed while others are so hungry and poor. The hunger pains of the havenots cry so loudly that they ask TO questions of communists who give them food or promise- of food and lands to grow food. The hunger pains drown out any consideration of political philosophy of eommunisjn- They have not heard . of Stalin killing millions and of Khrushchev murdering millions in the Ukraine purges. By time they find they have been purged, it is too late. c Communism tells the hungry people they each can do something to bring about a Utopia, onearth Communism offers a specific blue print and plan. Communists hold there is no life hereafter and that Christianity, a gift to man. is a fable. There is much to appeal to the natural instincts in communist teaching. Since there is no punishment hereafter, communists say. it is alright to rob. murder. Kill, lie. cheat, and indulge in sin. Such is 1961 communism. . The wind on Ireland's costal areas often rolls up the sod, like a rug. - In 1833. Charles Darwin found 3.000 Yahgan Indians in extreme South America, living outdoors the year around, completely naked. without fire, and sleeping on the frozen ground, during rain, snow, and hail. Kind people sent them blankets and clothes, which brought disease, and killed off most of them promptly

MILFORD-SYRACUSE W. C. T. U. Eighteen were present at the September meeting of the MilfordSyracuse W. C. T. U. Tuesday evening at the home of' the Robert Rumfelts.

White The storm over the dunes regarding a proposed deep water port at Burns Ditch swept into a noisy hearing of 65 witnesses before 200 spectators in a 9’? hour session in the hot House Chamber of the State House. The hearing had political overtones of hassles Hoosiers get into, such as over time and reapportionment. Col J. A. Smedile, Chicago district engineers, master of ceremonies at the hearing, won admira tion by his fairness in hearing all witnesses. MANY VARIED INTERESTS ENGAGED IN PORT ISSUE U>S. Senator Paul Douglas. Democrat. Illinois. a state that gave the 9.000 vote's to put President Kennedy over, has put the heat on the army engineers. He asked that they reconsider their recommendation last October to place the port at Burns Ditch. Douglas likewise has generated the pressure on Secretary of Interior Stewart Udell to build a national Dunes park instead of a port at Burns Ditch. Powerful Chicago interests do not want Indiana .to have a port. It is ironical also that Douglas, now so vociferous in the Save the Dunes campaign, comes from a state that carted away most of the sand of the vanishing dunes for Chicago beaches. Gov Matthew E. Welsh, backed by U.S. Senators Vance Hartke and Homer E Capehart. Congressman Charles Halleck and others, is pr n eeding full speed toward building the port despite- the obstructions. He has $2 million dollars appropriated hy the last legislature to buy the Burns Ditch site. His assistant Clinton Green has obtained the options and is signing plants and businesses for the port area. Yes. despite obstructionists and. politics. Indiana will have a deep water port. Using prepared or partly prepared foods for o.ne day’s meals consumes only I 1 ; hours of the homemaker’s tithe instead of the hours needed to fix three home-cooked meals, according to V S Department .Agriculture re search. Os every S2O spent for groceries, $1.50 to >2 goes for the attractive packaging that ' helps keep the food in good condition, say U- S. Department of Agriculture researchers. Sometimes the package costs as much as the food itself.

Wash. Report From Sen. Hartke As we near the end of another session of Congress, we can look back on a vast amount of work and accomplishment. Up to Sept. 1, we had been in session 127 days with 824 hour of work. This, of course does not include committee work and other items which occupy our time. We in the Senate passed 788 bills in that time, having reported 957 from committees. We also confirmed 365 Postmasters. 3109 other civilian appointees, plus 8793 Army officers. 12.629 Air Force officers. 17,912 Navy officers and 3050 Marine officers. SOCIAL SECURITY — New benefits have gone into effect. My amendments allowing men of 62 to retire at 80% of full benefits and allowing retirees to earn more at part time work among them. Aged widows now get about 10% more and the lowest benefit for nearly all retired workers is S4O a month. It is easier to qualify for benefits, too. RAILROAD RETIREMENT — We have approved new benefits for railroad retirement, bringing it in line with changes in Social Security laws. Railroad employees nowmay retire at 62 years of age at reduced benefits from those at age 65. Also widows and w idowers may receive benefits after one year of marriage. CIVIL RIGHTS COMMISSION — The Senate has approved a twoyear extension of the Civil Rights Commission, which investigates reports of discrimination and violations of Federal law and Constitutional rights. I supported a longer Extension and broadeb Civil Rights legislation, which failed. IMPROVED HEALTH CARE — The Community Health Services and Facilities Act of 1961 has passed the Senate. This bill continues a number of programs now in existence and expands a number of others. It increases aid to States to develop Public Health programs providing health services to the aged and chronically ill outside of hospitals. It also provides foi more loans and grants to communities and organizations building hospitals. NEW POST OFFICES — We are proud that two more Indiana com munities are to dedicate new Post Offices on Sept. 17. One is at Portage, which just was granted its own office, and the other is at Bruceville. COLLEGE HOUSING — Ros* Polytechnic Institute at Terre Haute has been granted a loan of $450,000 by Community Facilities Administration to increase dormitorv housing. URBAN RENEWAL—Hammond has had its urban renewal (slum clearance) program approved in Washington. Approval of the renewal program clears the way for Federal-Local participation in the final slum clearance later. PUBLIC FACILITIES LOAN — Michigan City has been authorized to receive a 552.000 planning loan for improvements in its sewer facilities The Community Facilities Administration makes these nomterest that communities can get started on such things as sewer programs before local bond issues are floated. UNITED FUND FILLS TWO MORE POSTS Mr. Arthur C. Marose, general chairman of the 1961 United Fund appeal, announced that William Mathews has been appointed chairman of the Construction division and Roy Stone, chairman of the Professional division for the current appeal.

ROOT SYSTEM KEY TO QUALITY TREES Thinking about buying a tree for your yard? Then be sure to buy quality, advise Purdue University horticulturists. They point out a high quality tree will cost less in the long run because it is more likely to live and prosper than a poor quality tree. Most important thing to consider when purchasing is the tree’s root system. By far the best bet is a nursery grown tree, not one dug, in the woods since nursery trees have more ’ compact root systems. Nursery trees balled in burlap are much better than bare root trees. Purchasers should avoid trees with wrinkled or dried bark and roots. Best of all. say the horticulturists are those growing in cans, since they have a complete root system. The horticulturists give this rough guide for tree selection: Bare root trees six to seven feet tall should have a root system at least one foot in diameter. Balled-in-burlap trees six to seven feet in height should have a root system of at least one and a half feet in diameter. And trees taller than six to seven feet should have larger root systems.
