A Step h The Right Directtea

At tteir last regular meeting the Greencastle City illTiieeert plans for annexation of territory into the city wont*. You might say it was a step into the future pi»i»ti<ny and development of the city.

For Greencastle to continue to grow and to provide benefits for all within its area, it is indeed necessary to expand its boundaries to accommodate its growing population.

Hie most economical way to expand is for a city to fniiax new subdivisions before they are developed. In this way, the utility services can be installed before the streets are laid and houses are built. Not only does this avoid the axp*"** of tearing up streets, but it saves the builder the expense of a septic tank when he can connect to a city sewer. The health benefits to the new home owner as Well as the city as a whole, are obvious. Hie vital need of fire hydrants is also immediately attained.

The Council feels that the hew subdivisions to the east mnA the northeast of the city should be immediately annexed so that the subdivision planners could lay out their subdivisions with city utility service in mind. The feeling was that it is the responsibility of the city to take the trunk lines for both water and sewer to the subdivision and that the subdivider should provide for the service to the individual lots.

Specific annexation ordinances are anticipated for presentation to the Council in the near future, but no specific

boundaries or parcels have been determined.

Subdivisions that have already been established leave the city the responsibility of extending individual sewer service to various property lot lines. Most of the existing homes on the fringe of Greencastle already enjoy the benefits of water provided by the city. Whether property is in

the city or outside, the rates are the same.

In our opinion, city planning is a must and our Council

la heading in the right direction.

Sen. Fullbright Offers Solution

WASHINGTON UPI—Chairman J. William Fulbright of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee says a lasting solution to the situation in Southeast Asia can be achieved through a mutual military withdrawal by Red China and the United States. “The crisis in Southeast Asia can only be resolved on a lasting basis by the neutralization of the entire region as between China and the United States, Fulbright said in a Senate speech Tuesday. The Arkansas Democrat, leader te Senate critics of President Johnson’s policies in Viet Nam, conceded that the Chinese might not want such a neutralization. U.S. officials described Fulbright’s proposal as unrealistic because it failed to take into account Communist demands that any settlements in the area be made on their terms. “China is profoundly fearful te American bases on her periphery,” the senator said. .. fearful as she is of American military power in Southeast Asia, China might well be willing to purchase its removal by the removal te her own.” “It would seem to me highly advisable that, by one means or another, we indicate to the Chinese that we are prepared to remove American military power not only from Viet Nam but from ah of Southeast Asia in return for a similar withdrawal on her part.” “It is quite likely that the Chinese are not at present prepared to enter a neutralization agreement as long as the United States is expending more and more lives and mors and more money in an everwidening but inconclusive war in Indochina. “What can we do to induce China to pay the price of a neutralization agreement? “What we can do, it seems to me, is to confront her with the perfectly credible prospects of being confronted with that which she most fears; which is to say, with permanent American bases on her periphery. We can make the threat of permanent bases credible by reducing the cost of sustaining them to a level which the Chinese know we can sustain indefinitely’.’

College Dropouts

INDIANAOLIS UPI — Indiana should give more consideration te college dropouts in its vocational education program, a legislative study committee has been told.

The Economic Development Study Committee heard from Mearle Donica, state vocational education director, and Dallas Sells, president of the Indiana State AFL-CIO and a member of the Indiana Vocational Technical College Board. “The college dropout is in just as bad a spot as the high school dropout,” Donica said. “Two out of 10 who enter college do not graduate.” Donica and Sells said there is need for the 1967 Legislature to clarify the 1965 legislation on vocational education. Both believed the 1955 laws dividing vocational education responsibility between four agencies will work. Donica said there are 20 proposed area applications pending. But he said there is only $8.1 million in federal funds available for 1966 and 1967, just about enough for two schools.

Youthful Reading Habit Booked Way To Succiss

By ROBERTA ROESCH

The interests a child has or the ones that are charted for him by his parents can sometimes lead to the right job in his future. That’s the way it was for Joseph M. Christie, a department head of the world’s largest wholesaler of books to schools, colleges, libraries and retailers. As a child, Joseph Christie was told to “read” by his father. Because he was an obedient child, he heeded this advice and begun at a very early age to read everything in sight. Had To Be Put Out “But even though I read whatever I could get my hands on and had to be put out of libraries regularly because they wanted to close, I never really thought about books as a career while I was growing up,” Christie said. “In fact, while I followed reading as a hobby, I leaned toward being a lawyer.” However, his present career got a headstart 30 years ago, when a friend who worked for a book concern remembered Christie’s interest and suggested that he get a job with the company. Started At Bottom “As a result, I started at the bottom—figuratively and literally—by opening up cartons in the basement,” said Christie, who now is a vice president in the firm. With this as the first chapter in Christie’s career, he worked in different phases in the book distribution field. Later he did a stint as a salesman and did *o well that when the opportunity came, Christie Was picked to head the book department of his company. In his present capacity, he sits right in the middle of a huge distribution network for all kinds of books. The 27 branches of his department stretch from coast-to-coast, stock more than 1,500,000 books and represent 75,000 titles by 500 publishers. As an adjunct to this business, the company, through a subsidiary, also services 1,200 circulating libraries throughout the U. S.

The Boy Had To Be Put Out Of The Library At Closing Time.

•‘And I can honestly say,” says Christie, “that one te the factors leading up to this work was my father’s advice to ‘read.’ Today, at 77, my dad still follows that advice himself.” Understandably, Christie’s advice to readers of this column, is keyed to that one word: “Read.” Develop Personality “Read so you are well Informed and so you know what you are talking about,” he says. “But be sure to look up from your books sufficiently long enough to develop a personality that allows you to know and like people and for them to know and like you. This is important, too.” ‘If you would like to receive my leaflet “Pointers to Good Conversation,” send me your request and a stamped, self-ad-dressed envelope in care of this newspaper and I will send it to you.)
