I Th« Daily Bannar, Oraaneaatla, Indiana Tuatday, October 19, 1965 Editorial-Wise Dr. Krider Will Be Missed In the passing of Dr. W. J. Krider this community has lost a substantial citizen and an outstanding dentist. “Jack,” as he was better known to his many friends, was always courteous and genial. He had a sincere manner, both professional and social, that will always be remembered. He served his country in World War II as a major in the Army Air Corps and for years was active in church and fraternal circles. His absence in these various organizations will be noted. As a colleague once said, “Jack is a fine dentist and a credit to dentistry.” His many, many patients over the years will never forget him. The Daily Banner extends deepest sympathy to his wife, Alice, and their two sons and families. Dr. James Leslie Slated For Chaoel Talks

Mankin said there is legal precedent for enacting backup legislation which would become effective only If a certain future event occurred. He referred the reporters to a 1933 state law to end Prohibition in Indiana in the event Congress repealed the Volstead Act, (which it later rir after the Hoosier lawmakers had adjourned their session. The legislators were not the only ones talking in terms of talking in terms of taking out insurance against losing another reapportionmont plan by the unconstitutional route. Atty. Gen. John Dillon announced that he will oppeal to the U.S. Supreme Court from the Sept 20 rulin of a three-judge district federal
court panel.
He said filing a notice of appeal by the Wednesday deadlint was necessary “to keep open the question of what the Attorney General's office would do in the event that the Legislature could not come up with an apportionment plan that satiswies the
three-judge court."

Enlistments with 11.800 in August and 9.076 in July when the attention to boost the draft was announced. The Navy, which had been suffering manpower squeeze and turned to the draft for October and November, was able to recruit 15,801 men in September, 4,200 more than it had expected. That compared with 13,622 in August and 11,165 in July. Air Force first-term enlistments were 13.838 in September, 15, 5.1 in August and 10,388 in July. The Air Force said the downturn in September was of its own making. It took in all the men it needed and had to defer some volunteers until later months. The Marines enlisted 7,154 men in September, the number it had sought, compared with 5,457 in August and 4.628 in July. The Marines are drafting men in November and December.

U.S. Marine patrols near the big American bases at Chu Lai and Da Nang killed two Viet Cong and captured five others Monday. Viet Cong forces tried attacks on at least 12 government outposts in the heavily-Communist Mekong Delta. All of the raids occurred within 90 and 120 miles south of Saigon. U.S. Intelligence reports indicate the Communists are moving more and more guerrillas, backed up by hard-core regulars, into the delta. This apparently has resulted from massive defeats sustained by the Reds elsewhere in South Viet Nam.

Doctor, Td Like To Know—
Dr. Coleman
OUR third son was found to be a Mongolian idiot at birth. We were told about it immediately. Since then we have tried to find the reason why such a calamity happened to us. Our first two children are perfectly normal. Now the suggestion has been made that we should send our boy to a n institution. Where can we find the courage and the help necessary to make such a difficult d e c i-
sion?
Mr. & Mrs.
C. C. F„
New Jersey Dear Mr. and Mrs. F.: There are some people who may not know what Mongolian idiocy is. It is a congenital mental deficiency usually recognized at birth by the characteristic appearance of the face and the eyes. The typical Mongolian countenance has a broad nose with a flat skull, and eyes that are slanted. The reason for this birth calamity is not known. The one thing that is known is that you are not being punished for something you think you may have done, or failed to do. Many people have within them their own “guilt manufacturing ma-
Erdmann. Anita is the daughter chines” that add additional bur-
dens to an already unhappy
situation.
It is heartbreaking enough for you to be faced with such a gigantic decision without inflicting any more anguish on
yourself.
The answer you seek is one that would silence the wisdom of the sages. All factors must be weighed and given impartial consideration. You must ask yourself these questions: Will your son ever be able to live in society as a happy human being? Can he be sufficiently rehabilitated so that he can handle his own needs? Will your other two sons be psychologically and emotionally affected by a household that revolves around their “strange
brother” ?
There is no universal answer to such a difficult problem. Your problem is different from
of Mr. and Mrs. Knox B. McKee. Jr. ! Mr. and Mrs. Tom Beechler, | Manhattan Road, visited Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Scott and daughters, in Urbana. 111. Other relatives w r ho visited in the Scott home w’ere Mr. and Mrs. Ben Ferguson and daughter Kathy and Mr. ! and Mr*. Quincy Scott, all of Oblong, 111. Both daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Scott are afflicted with multiple sclerosis and their picture recently appeared in the News Gazette along with Governor Otto Gerner of 111., honoring them for ,
their outstanding work.
Don’t worry when you mess ’em, wee'll clean and press 'em. Old Reliable White Cleaners, j
those of other families who, too, are burdened by Mongolian idiocy. You must seek the specific advice of your physician, a guidance counselor, a teacher, or a spiritual advisor. When their opinions are clearly stated, and if their judgment to send your child to an institution is accepted by you, there will be tremendous heartache and confusion. Long after your decision is made, you will continue to question its wisdom. Yet there may be great comfort in observing your boy living in a w r orld without competition, surrounded by affection, understanding and the devotion which comes from the dedicated, trained workers who care for him. There will be limitless joys that will accrue from the unobstructed growth of your other children, who will be free to develop without the burden of a painful inheritance. • • * My husband has emphysema. When a dry climate was recommended, we moved to Arizona and found that he definitely feels better after only six weeks here. Can this be just a temporary improvement? Mrs. V. P. W., Arizona Dear Mrs. W.: Patients with chronic respiratory disorders like emphysema or bronchitis seem to be vastly more comfortable in warm, dry climates. Six weeks is not an adequate trial period. I would not suggest that you uproot your family and home with such slight experience. A radical decision should be made after a long, protracted period. If the improvement continues, the change can be made with assurance, and you will not jeopardize the entire structure of your family life. It must be remembered that climate is not the only factor that cures or controls emphysema. While Dr. Coleman cannot undertake to atiswer individual letters, he will use readers’ questions in his column whenever possible and when they are of general interest. Address your letters to Dr. Coleman in care of this neicspaffOT*
Dear Sir: I would like to attempt to get in touch with the descendants of any or all of three men who lived in Putnam County in the last century. The 1880 Census gives the following informa-
I tion:
Joseph E. Smith, age 53, oc- , cupation - blacksmith, birthplace - Indiana, 1880 location - j Bainbridge. James H. Smith, age - 64, oc- ; cupation - farmer, birthplace - Virginia, 1880 location - Floyd
Twp.
Perry Smith, age - 75, occupation - farmer, birthplace - Virginia, 1880 location - Floyd
j Twp.
I believe that these men were brothers and that, in addition, they were all brothers of my Mother's Grandfather, Vincent E. Smith, who was also living in Floyd Township of Putnam County in 1850, but who later moved to Advance in Boone County. I believe that James and Perry must have settled in Putnam County at a very early date, possibly in the 1830’s. It is reported that their father and mother moved from Virginia to Ohio around 1818 and then on to Fayette County of Indiana around 1820. Vincent was born in Fayette County in 1822, and Joseph's age above indicates that he was born around 1827. I can find James, Perry, and Vincent listed in the 1850 Census as living in Floyd Township, but I cannot find Joseph. This leads me to believe that the two older brothers came to Putnam County first and were followed later by Vincent and | still later by Joseph. ! I have also found that James died in Floyd Township July 17, 1907, and that Perry died there June 18, 1890. I have not been able to find a record of the death of Joseph. Either James or Joseph had a son by the name of Carl, who was wellknown as a bandmaster in that area in the late 1800's or early 1900's. My main purpose is to trace the family of these men back to Virginia. Vincent’s descendants know only that the father's name was John P. Smith and that the mother’s maiden name was Sarah Eskew. My hope is that some of the other descendants may have information or that such information can be found in obituary notices. Quite often obituary notices of early settlers contain valuable information of this type. Any help or suggestions will be much appreciated. Sincerely yours. Franklin C. Smith 2123 Stanford Ave. St. Paul, Minnesota
