Editorial-Wise A Job Well Done

Now that Putnam County Fair Week is again at hand, let’s do a little reminiscing. How many of our readers remember when the Fair was held in downtown Greencastle? It was held later then, in fact, around the last of September and first of October. After Robe-Ann Park was opened .the Fair shifted from the public square and adjacent streets. The park facilities, of course, were much better than the business district. Today, the Putnam County Fairgrounds and buildings are ideal for an event of this nature. Many visitors to this city have complimented the community on the Fairgrounds facilities. These compliments are due those men and women, who had vision in years past, to get the task done and provide 4-H Club members and others with an adequate place to display their exhibits. This accomplishment is indeed a job well done.

THE GOOD OLD DAYS

Every man's first prayer must be. “God be merciful to me, a sinner.”

Personal And Local News

By Phil Newsom

Japan, along with W’est Germany, has become a symbol of how a defeated nation not only can reverse Its policies, but can rise from the ravages of war to unprecedented prosperity. But today, Japan is in the midst of a recession. Production in Japan’s vaunted camera and electrical appliances industries is down, as it also is in glass, textiles and cement. Cost-cutting is the crder of the day and it ranges from fewer Geisha parties on the expense account to saving pencil butts. Unemployment, not heretofore a problem, is feared. AH this has led to a period of soul-searching which is having its effect on domestic Japanese politics and eventually could influence Japanese relations abroad. Some of the issues are traditional. but under the impact of recession are taking on more emphasis. Domestically, Premier Eisaku Sato’s ruling Liberal-Demo-cratic party felt it in the July 4 elections to Japan’s upper house of parlaiment where leftists gained nine seats. Liberal - Democratic losses were attributed to public dissatisfaction with the government's handling of the recession and to widespread disapproval of government support of U. S. policies in Viet Nam. By retaining more than a third of the upper house seats,

1 It meant that the Socialists and other leftists could continue to block constitutional changes permitting Japan to strengthen her weak defensive position. The loss of all four seats held by Tokyo constituencies explains why the Liberal-Demo-crats were “Running scared” in today’s Thursday elections to the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly which rules the world's largest city. Adding to Liberal-Democrat-ic woes was the fact that 17 of its members in the outgoing assembly had been arrested on corruption charges. Thus, dissatisfaction which has its roots in a domestic recession could mean a swing to the left in international relations. U. S. business could be affected by a slow-down in Japanese orders for production machinery. And as the Japanese step up their efforts to find new export markets they can provide stiff competition to American firms not only within the United States but in other markets as well, such as Southeast Asia and South America. Always fearful of U. S. moves to restrict sale of Japanese goods within the United States, the Japanese are especially so now. Fear that a fisheries dispute could lead to a U. S. boycott of Japanese goods was an order important underlying factor in unjust completed cabinet level talks between the two nations in Washington.

Meeting Held By Better Homes Club

For Deceptive Discarding You Need Partner’s Help

By ALFRED SHEINWOLD

When you try to deceive a shrewd declarer you are not likely to succeed all by yourself. Your partner must go along with the gag.

West opened the king of spades and continued the suit. South won the third apade and led a diamond to dummy'a ace tn return a club to his king. West played the seven of clubs without hesitation. South would make three notrump very easily if West took the ace of clubs. It would be clear that West had 10 or 11 points in the black suits and that he would have opened the bidding if he also held the kirig of hearts. South would feel sure of making his ninth trick by taking an ordiijjry finesse in hearts. As the play actually went, South didn't know whether to try for his ninth trick in hearts or by way of a second play in elubs. RUNS DIAMONDS

South ran the diamonds before he made up his mind, but West discarded the eight of hearts on the third round of diamonds. On the fourth diamond East and West both discarded low hearts. South might have caught on if East had held his hearts and thrown clubs, as a timid player would. Actually, East and West discarded hearts again on the fifth diamond. South gave some thought to playing the ace of hearts since it seemed that West had kept the blank king. The club play looked surer, however, and declarer led another club from dummy. West took two clubs and his last spade, defeating the game. “Thank you partner.” he said graciously. “You protected me very neatly." DAILY QUESTION Partner opens with one notrump (16 to 18 points!, and the next player passes. You hold: spades K Q J 9 hearts J 8 3 2 diamonds 8 4 clubs A J 7. 'What do you say? ANSWER: Bid two clubs, the Stayman Convention. This asks partner to show a major suit of four or more cards if he can. If he shows no major suit, by bidding two diamonds, you will then jump to three notrump.

events staged in the Roundup Arena. This Arena is a huge bowl-like depression in the earth and has gently sloping sides which seat over 9.000 people. There are no bleachers as such, so the audience sits on the fresh, green grass — the only green grass in the site, due to the arid climate. In front of the audience there is a large stage well equipped with microphones and on either side there is a huge scaffold which supports the lighting and sound equipment. All Roundupers are looking forward to these event*.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. UPI—A Pentagon courier and an ex-GI accused by the FBI of using cameras concealed in cigarette lighters and hollowed-out shoe heels to pass U.S. defense secrets to the Russians each have been sentenced to 25 years in prison. U.S. District Judge Oren R. Lewis administered maximum sentences Friday to Army Sgt. Robert Lee Johnson, 43, and James Allen Mintkenbaugh, 46, on reduced charges of conspiracy to obtain secrets and acting secretly as Russian agents. The two were originally Indicted last April and pleaded guilty to espionage charges which could have resultad in a maximum penalty of death. The government reduced the charges last month and received new guilty pleas from the pair. Each of two conspiracy counts carried a maximum 10year sentence and the third count, of acting as Soviet agents without notifying the secretary of state, carried a five-year maximum sentence. Lewis imposed the maximum term for each count and decreed that the sentences run consecutively rather than concurrently.

WASHINGTON UPI — Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara will outline the administration’s new money and material requests for the Viet Nam war to Congress next Wednesday, Sen. John C. Stennis, DMis., announced.

McNamara will testify at a closed session of the Senate military appropriations subcommittee. Stennis is acting chairman of the Senate group.

President Johnson, in announcing the new buildup of American forces in Viet Nam, said he would ask for additional funds from Congress but he did not specify the amount. Congressional leaders indicated he might request an additional $1 billion. Stennis said it was expected that a formal request for the additional funds for the Viet

Nam fighting would be submitted to Congress next week. “I have asked Secretary McNamara to present a definite request as to amount and to develop and present to us definite and factual information with respect to the added funding which will be required,” Stennis said. The Senate subcommittee has been considering a House - approved $45.1 billion defense money bill. Stennis has been urging funds for the Viet Nam fighting to the bill.
