Williamson, president of the Ladies Soldiers Aid Society, on Dec. 3rd., 1861 from Fort Murray, Md. as follows) ‘'Dear Madam; I have by this mail had the pleasure of writing to the ‘Banner’ for publication an article expressing the thanks of the members of our Company for the woolen goods your association were kind enough to furnish me with during my late visit to Greeneastle. The number of men (forty-three) who were served out of the package may seem rather large <tt first sight, but when we consider that in many cases only one article such as a pair of socks, a shirt or a pair of gloves, were necessary to complete the outfit of an individual, it ceases to be strange thart seventy-one pieces of clothing should make the above number of men comfortable. If our hospital should need bed gowns, bunk sheets or other like articles, could they be furnished by your society? After again expressing my thanks, allow me to subscribe myself, your ob't, etc.—Eli Lilly” LARGEST NEWSPAPER — •‘Putnam can now boast of having the largest newspaper of any inland county town in the state.

U. S. LAGS IN WEAPON RACE SAYS COUSINS

DEPAUW SPEAKER CRITICAL OF PROGRAM FOR LAST 12 YEARS

Referring to the launching of Russia’s man - made satellite, Editor Norman Cousins said yesterday at DePauw University that “this is the most serious moment in world history.” “We in America have been on a holiday for 12 years,” the Saturday Review’s editor continued, “and every time the satellite spins around the earth it is mocking American superiority.” Also concerning Cousins was the failure of the United States to formulate a definite plan for world disarmament and to positively recognize the dangers of radiation. He blasted Dr. W. F. Libby of the Atomic Energy Commission for his efforts to minimize those dangers and warned thal “the governments are not telling the people the full truth about their actions.” “The air all around us is being contaminated, the people are being hurt,” he said, adding that the greatest threat is coming from the effects of internal radiation. Although Cousins believes that Harold Stassen is working sincerely to halt the arms race, he is equally convinced that “the government is not standing behind Stassen and is badly split on the issue.” “The principal disease of our time is a casual approach to violence,” he said, “but violence won’t work now. Everyone agrees that violence is unthinkable, but what is thinkable, and who is doing the thinking?” In order to win, Cousins continued, we need the “big idea,” because there still is time to mobilize public opinion to make the world safe for civilization.” According to the editor, “Those who argue that nuclear weapons won’t be used are arguing against history, for when the crisis comes the weapons will be used.” He referred to Albert Schweitzer’s strong feelings on the matter of internal radiation and repeated the humanitarian's statement that “the human race is committing folly and thoughtlessness.” In his concluding remarks, Cousins said: ‘T am not a pessimist, because no one knows enough to be a pessimist. I am trying to suggest that the rights of future generations depend on genetic purity.” Because the crisis is manmade, he continued, it can be man-solved. But first there must be attempts made to understand the problem, exercise moral imagination, and eliminate world anarchy. ’We at least will have a chance,” he commented, “when we can say that we truly are justifying God’s great gift of life.”

WILL GIVE REC ITAL DePauw University’s Aeolian Trio will present its first recital of 1957-58 here Wednesday night at 8:15 in the Union Ballroom.
