Citizens Get Job Done

Unguarded railroad crossings in the state of Indiana, are far from a thing of the past. Putnam County still has Its share of the ever-present dangers, but as of one month ago, one such danger was eliminated. A scene of many mishaps and a frequently avoided area is now traveled without the presence of danger that lurked there before. Approximately two years ago, a group of civic-minded ladies and citizens of Greencastle banded together to see what they could do to get flasher signals installed at the Pennsylvania Railroad crossing on the Zinc Mill Road located about one-quarter mile south of the new high school. The group found out that before they could get any action on the works, they had to first submit to the railway company a petition with the signature of at least 2,000 property owners. Inspired by the thoughts of the many people who had to avoid the area because of the danger of no warning* of trains coming such as school buses, trucks, and cautious motorists, the group set out to obtain the signatures. After over two years of knocking on doors, standing on street corners asking for signatures and writing letters pleading for help, the group succeeded in obtaining over 2,000 property owners signatures on a petition for flashers to be installed at the crossing. December 21, 1965, the Pennsylvania Railroad sent their men to the Zinc Mill Road railway crossing and signal flashers were installed. Hats off to a group of Greencastle citizens who have earned the respect and admiration of all concerned.

January

By W. GUT PICKENS When January hits the trail With frosty winds and snow an’ lee, Envelopin' each hill an’ vale — He paints a picture that ain’t nice. When January, ruthlessly, Contes rushin’ in with his big blow To belly laugh at us while wo Break down our backs when ahovelin’ snow. When January comes to us With winter’s tactics bold an’ cold. We rant an* rave an’ cuss an’ fnss Awaitin’ while he’s growin’ eld. When January’s last day comes Shall we feel sorry fer him? Nay — ’Tis then we start a-twiddlin’ thumbs — Fer springtime ain’t too fer away.

—State Felice Normally, when the driver takes his foot off the accelerator, the engine returns to idling speed. However, with the damp placed on the fuel line, speed remains constant and uncontrollable for a quarter to one-half mile until the pressure in the pumps returns to normal. In an emergency, O’Neal said these “rigged” trucks are almost impossible to stop. A collision would be a certainty, he warned, if the loaded tractorsemitrailer had to stop to avoid a person or vehicle. Superintendent O’Neal has urged troopers to check closely all diesel operated trucks for this violation and dangerous practice.

35 senators to an election day accounting with their constituents Nov. 8. With history indicating the GOP has an edge, the Republicans hope the Viet Nam war’s impact on the voter will increase the usual mid-term gains «f the party which does not hold the White House. Democrats were wary of being blamed for the Viet Nam situation and any reductions in domestic spending that might be needed to meet the costs of the conflict. As Senate Republican Leader Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois put it today in an interview U. S. News A World Report: “Parties do not defeat each other. Generally speaking, parties defeat themselves. “A party becomes the victim of its mistakes and of its blunders because these are communicated to the public quickly through newspapers and news magazines.” Dirksen was setting the tone for his GOP assiciates who hope the Democrats might be hit hard by public disenchantment with the Viet Nam situation, should peace efforts fail. Dirksen believes the GOP has a good chance to make substantial gains in the 1966 elections, wiping out some of the losses it felt in the Johnson landslide of 1964.

-“Congress education and economic legislation enacted on Johnson’s recommendation last year, Mansfield has called on committee chairmen to run checks on how all the new programs are working. “It’s time to stop, look and listen now,” the Montana Democrat said after a White House strategy session Friday. House Democratic Leader Carl Albert agreed that money, not legislation, would be the main concent of the Congress. He and Speaker John W. McCormack forecast continued financing of great society efforts, despite the war, though possibly on a smaller scale than originally planned.

Formosa Strait In 'Full Alert' Battle Condition

TAIPEI UPI — Nationalist r officials sent to the Island of

Chinese ships and planes today were ordered on “full alert” in the Formosa Strait, where Chinese Communist jets shot down an unarmed seaplane carrying three defecting seamen who minutes earlier proclaimed they were on “the road to freedom.” The twin-engine HU16 amphibious plane also carried a crew of three and an unknown number of Nationalist Chinese

Matsu to welcome the sailors. The seamen from Red China earlier in the day had sailed their 25-ton armed landing boat to Matsu, off the Chinese mainland, after a shipboard mutiny in which seven of the 25 men aboard were killed. The defectors said four of the dead also wanted to defect. The sailors, who were welcomed by the Taiwan government, had proudly displayed a

safe-conduct card dropped over the China mainland by Nationalist planes. “This . . . card and President Chiang’s message calling on us to defect showed us the road to freedom and gave us the courage to defect,” one of the sailors said. Then they boarded the doomed plane for the trip to Taipei. The aircraft took off from Matsu at mid-afternoon but 15

minutes later was attacked at low altitude by Red Chinese MIG jets. An air-sea search turned up no trace of the downed plane. The New China News Agency, in a dispatch from Peking, said the downed Nationalist plane was on a “harrassing and sabotage” mission over East China. “Nobody knows what is going to happen now,” said Nationallist Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Liu ShunWu.

Aerospace Industry Expects To Receive More Defense Spending

If now for the first time you really want good cleaning, come to Old Reliable White Cleaners.

By Leroy Pope United Press International NEW YORK (UPI) — The aerospace industry can look forward to at least five more years of heavy federal defense expenditures in addition to the still mushrooming space program and its growing non-gov-enunent business, many experts believe. The industry had a good year in 1965 even though its total estimated sales fell by $175 million to $20,579 billion. A drop of $1.25 billion in the industry’s defense sales was offset by a $400 million boost in space effort outlays and a $750 million increase in non-govern-ment business. And for the third year in a row, the industry’s sales in diversified non - aerospace products such as shipbuilding, and other heavy construction, atomic energy, metal working and industrial automation machinery exceeds $1.8 billion. Since non - government working is generally considered more profitable than defense and straight aerospace work, the industry obviously had a good year. Export sales probably were close to the level of 1964 or around $1.2 billion. These were the lowest in five years and consisted mainly of products that cannot be identified for security reasons. Defense Outlays Repeated statements by Defense Secretary Robert McNamara that the state of international tension is not likely to permit U. S. defence outlays to go below $45 billion annually for the next five years are the main evidence that the aeroThe Veronica Club will meet with Mrs. James Pickett Wed., Jan. 12 at 2 p.m. Mrs. Will Hickman will have the program.

space industry can continue to look forward to big defense outlays. The market for American commercial airlines and engines for them remains brisk even though sales of these abroad have dropped steadily since the 1960 peak of $480 million. As of April, 1965, the industry had an order backlog of 429 new jet aircraft totaling $2.1 billion — up $200 million from the peak in 1957 in the original transi-

tion from piston to jet planes. The small utility aircraft section of the industry had a good year. Both unit sales and dollar sales for the first nine months exceeded those for all of 1964. Net profits of the industry and profit ratios for 1965 are not yet available but it seems clear they followed the upward trends of the previous five years for most of the 50-odd companies in the industry.

NEW YORK UPI —Both hemlines and necklines expose more of the body beautiful in the new spring fashions. The hemlines in most New York garment manufacturer collections ride above the knees, while the designers are plunging necklines especially at the back, reviving the completely bare shoulder look for evening, and slashing peepholes front or back for greater exposure. Take the works of designer Ferdinando Sarmi, usually on the conservative side on neckline exposure. But many of his evening gowns are strapless, as typified by a “baby dress” shape unfitted waistline in pale blue ribbon lace, jewel embroidered all over and with satin bows trimming the bodice. Another Sarmi formal had a trapezoid cutout between waistline and bosom. Still another, all white chiffon, had a double band of draping across the bodice to leave a wide, diagonal slit in the most masterful cover-yet-uncover maneuver in dressmaking. B. H. Wragge scooped out the back of a sleeveless, white linen dress, leaving an ovel exposure from waistline to bust beneath the shoulders. And everywhere, designers revived the halter neckline, high in front, often scooped to the waist in back, and in some col-
