Zenor Speaks At Fund Campaign
Meeting Of DAR
Carl Zenor, native of Putnam county, DePauw graduate and chairman for the coming Indiana sesquicentennial, w r as the guest speaker at the regular meeting of Washburn Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution on March 16. Mr. Zenor’s subject was. "Why Each American Ilistoi. ?” He showed his strong interest in the continued requirement of American History study through a personal experience he had not long ago with a curriculum. His strong convictions on this subject caused him to speak out against the dropping of American History at the high school level and the requirement was all wed to remain. Mr. Zenor went on to stress the importance of making history interesting to the pupils. He remarked that many disliked history in school, and thought it dull. As an example of one of the ways to make history alive, Mr. Zenor had brought some copies of the letters and diaries of Indiana soldiers during the Civil War. These thoughts put down on paper at the time history was occurring and reflecting only the point of view of one individual writer make the incidents personal. Members of D. A. R. were enthralled listing to excerpts read describing the food, government issue uniforms, long underwear, They felt a real kinship with period of history. A description was read from an officer’s letter describing the unbelievable desolation and destruction in the burning of Vicksburg. The great emotion of despair over looting showed in his letter that the writer was a compassionate person. The business meeting followed the program. Mrs. Floyd Yochum, regent, presided aver what had become a lengthy backlog of business because snow canceled one meeting and no business was conducted at We Good Citizen tea. Appreciation from D. A. R. schools was read for the club’s Christ-
mas present to them. A letter was read from the state regent Mrs. Maxwell Chapman. Hazel McCullough read an article appropriate to the national defense from Reader's Digest. A new member, Miss Sue McGaughey vv a s initated. A large group filled the living room and dining room of the hostess, Mrs. Ira Moore. The house was filled with antiques placed In an artistic setting. Mrs. Yochum poured as the guests were invited to the tea table decorated for St. Patrick’s Day and laden with goodies. Assisting Mrs. Moore as co-hostesss were Mrs. William Boatright and Mrs. John Manson. 53 Patronage Jobs Will Go JOHNSON CITY. Tex. UPI— Fifty-three choice political jobs in the Customs Bureau will be abolished 60 days from now unless Congress vetoes a major reorganization plan announced by President Johnson. These patronage positions include 45 collectors, sLx comptrollers, one surveyer and one appraiser of customs. Their salaries range to $23,000 a year for an annual total of $1 mil-
lion.
Johnson announced Sunday that he wants all the customs officials to be under the civil service system — and those holding the patronage jobs he wants to abolish will be considered for “any position for which they may be qualified.” Because senators have a large voice in selecting presidential nominees for collector of customs, Johnson ran the risk of touching off a new congressional uproar over his economizing drive. Legislative tempers still are slightly frazzled over his proposals to shut down 11 Veterans Administration hospitals, and some agricultural research stations.

Ranger 9 began its 245.500mile trip to the moon at 4:37 p. m. EST Sunday when an At-las-Agena booster blasted it from a launching pad at Cape Kennedy, Fla. Six television cameras aboard Ranger 9 were scheduled to take thousands of close-up photographs of the 60-70-mile-wide crater Alphonsus — one of the few areas on the supposedly dead moon that has shown signs of volcanic life — before the space probe crashes to destruction on the lunar surface about 9:15 a. m. EST Wednes-
