I am aura that most of us read with disgust of the young man on the Purdue Campus who spat upon the flag of our country and tramped upon it with his dirty shoes. What shall we dd and what shall we say to an action such as this? If there is a state law that carries a punishment for desecration of the Stars and Stripes then the state should do its duty and not be wishy-washy. I am reminded of a city minister who was annoyed one Sunday evening in his service by a boy and girl who giggled aloud some two or three times. The good maw stopped in his discourse and remarked, "I am being put under pressure by two young people that I hate to censure. My father did that one time in his church to a couple and found out later that both were idiotic. Father was sorry.” It eould be that the young man who tramped upon the flag should be pitied and put into an institution for the feeble minded. His actions indicate that he belongs there. Miss Penny Wingler of Indiana State spent the weekend with her family and helped with the church music program on Sunday morning. Mr. John Bottorff and wife of New Washington, Indiana were all day guests in the home

of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Bottorff Saturday. lira. Edna Smith had the following friends and relatives in her home the past week. Mr. and Mrs. John Shoemaker, Mrs. Ethyl Barker, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Shoemaker of Fillmore and Mrs. Helen Jones of Greencastle. Mr. and Mrs. Aral McCammack write from Hollywood, Florida, that they will likely be home around April 1st. Mr. and Mrs. Fred DeMarco of Greenfield visited Sunday afternoon with Miss Margaret Bowen and her mother, Rosie. Have you received a letter and short questioonairs the past week asking if you had paid your state income tax for certain designated years? One such came my way last week that stated I might not have paid any tax for 1963-64. On the self-same day my brother and his brother-in-law in Bloomington were considered short for 1965. I was one time a teacher and later a principal and when I couldn’t keep school business records and the like in the right channel the trustee found someone who could. When those doing work for the state can’t, keep records straight as to who has paid and who has not, than it’s time to get someone who can. That’s my opinion exactly.

Mrs. Phyllis (Buffo) Wing of St. Louis is visiting with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Buffo. How does your garden grow, or have you planted yet ? A Chizzletown man has sixty feet of peas planted, twenty feet of onions, twelve feet of lettuce and twelve feet of white turnip radishes. The Farmer’s Almanac was not consulted for the sign, nor was the moon. One time the moon pulled up onion sets for a week and then stopped. Things from there on prospered. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Bottorff called on Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Powell Tuesday afternoon at the Eventide Nursing Home. They found Mrs. Powell quite in. At 7:15 Tuesday evening the Coatesville Fire Department was called to the south end of town where an enlarging grass fire was underway. There were plenty of volunteer helpers end by eight o’clock the flames were extinguished. Mrs. Edith Buffo and Mrs. Doris Bunnells were Sunday afternoon callers at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Don Allen near Belleville. Gilbert Lee Ruark, formerly of Fillmore and Coatesville, and now a citizen of Lebanon, Ind., had some good fortune come his way this week. He had purchased a ticket in a pool where he worked and when the number was drawn for the payoff he had the number and drew two thousand dollars. Sounds a bit like the aiding of an old time Fred Fearnot story. Reverend and Mrs. Norris King, former Methodist pastor here, and son, Leonard, were afternoon and dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Waskom and family Thursday. Miss Roberta Runnells was also a guest cf the Waakom’g. Big thing* are underway at the Coatesville Bank. A new well has been drilled recently to furnish water for new lavatories and rest rooms and a new addition fs being added to the east side of'the bank. The new rooms will come out flush with north and south sidewalk. The addition will give the bank much more room that has been sorely needed for some time. Ilia contract for the construction work is in the hands of the Collier Lumber Company of Coatesville. Mrs. Eva McNary of Fillmore was visiting with friends and relatives in town Sunday. Later in tiie afternoon, she was driven to Plainfield to see Mr. and Mrs. Gene Johnson end family.' It Is My Opinion Hendricks County had a meeting last week and nearly two hundred residents listened to a program about War on Poverty. When the meeting came to an end a vote was taken and the county turned thumbs down on the proposition. It is my honest opinion that they did the'wise thing. The best cure I know of for poverty is first, a big shot of ambition, than secure a job and make every effort to hold ii Do some business like wietwyiTtg with the 1 money'earned and the wolf wiQ leave the door. I am afraid that the government program will mean one man, a politician, with a fat salary who win be the big cog in the machine. He can dispense from his office not checks to the poor but give them instead the Biblical quotation: “The poor ye have always with you.” If you don’t believe me, read April Reader’s Digest on the FHA.

Those 'Extra' Moments Get 60-Second Workout

By ROBERTA ROESCH “How do the peopie you write about find time to do so many things above and beyond the daily routine?” inquires one of our readers, a woman from Ohm. “I am jealous,” she says. “There is no one anywhere who wants some work to do at home any more than L But I can’t seem to find the time to get started on things I want to do. “I need a boost very badly, So I hope that you can help me.” Like So Many Others This letter is typical of many I receive in each day’s mail from women who want a little more than the daily routine. And I agree that it Is sometimes hard to find those hours for something extra over and above the ordinary demands of the day. But I also know, from observing people and talking to many of them, that often the

“in-between time” is what many men and women use for the extra things they want to do. For example, one mother of six does exquisite needlepoint. In order to find the moments for it, she salvages “in-between time” and keeps her current project ready to pick whenever she can. Petals On A Flower “Often I fill in some petals on a flower I am working on while I wait for the baby’s bottle to heat or the coffee to perk,” she said. “Or if I have five minutes before the clothes in the dryer are ready to be removed, I sit down and do some work then.” Another woman, teaching herself to play the accordion, goes about getting some valuable practice time in the evening while her youngsters are having dinner. “I always sit with the children then,” she says. “Since I

don’t eat until my husband comes home, this is time I used to waste fussing at them to eat. “Then I came up with the idea of using this time to practice on the accordion, something that I had let slip because I couldn’t—if you’ll pardon the expression — squeeze the music lessons into my busy schedule. Now as the children and I combine music with food, they get so interested in the tunes that they forget to fuss about what they are eating.’ A writer I know, whose daily routine would never allow him time to work on a book, has managed to complete two novels in the past three years. He plans a page he’s working on before he drops off to sleep each

Michigan Has 4-inch Snowfall The Midwest today felt the extremes of spring weather. Northern Michigan was buried under up to four inches of snow while unseasonably high temperatures were recorded a few hundred miles to the south.

Mich.

The mercury climbed to the 50s as far north as Chicago. It was 90 at St. Joseph, Mo., Thursday, the highest ever recorded there during the month of March. The disturbance that trig-

gered the new In upper Michigan also brought on winds gusting to 55 miles an hour at Moline, 111., Thursday night. No serious damage was reported.

— A — Johnson Ready To Take Action WASHINGTON UPI—President Johnson said Thursday if existing measures to curb inflation fail he will not hesitate to seek “further fiscal restraint.” He did not specifically mention | a tax increase although this , would be an obvious alternative. Asserting that “the amber ; light is on,” Johnson said he ' would do whatever is necesasry , to keep the economy frpm mushrooming too far. And he said he would do so “election year notwithstanding.” Although he denied that the economy was presently “shooting off into outer space” the President did say that “some strains . .. are beginning to become apparent,” including the fact that “prices are moving up much too fast for comfort.” In a speech prepared for an appearance before a National League of Cities conference, Johnson said: “We are proceeding cautiously, with common sense. Some careful restraint has been applied. We are touching the brakes, not clamping them on, not risking a skid into recession or depression. , “We have learned that lesson from just looking back down the road a few years. We want no more economic accidents, collisions or sudden wrecks. “If more restraint is needed, I have said we will exert it— when the fiscal advisers and men of prudent judgment think | we need it.” Johnson’s statement followed an appeal to business to hold down investments that could be fuel to inflation.

Christians Who Serve Needy Take Parable To Heart

Five Ate Held As Shoplifters LAFAYETTE UPI — Five Indianapolis residents were held on preliminary charges here today in connection with what police described as a large-scale shoplifting operation. The five were arrested near a shopping center Wednesday night when a store employe bec a m e suspicious and alerted police. Officers said they recovered 46 cartons of cigarettes, eight packages of nylon stockings, four sweaters, an electric toaster, sunglasses, toothpaste and a quantity of groceries. The suspects were identified as James Dyson, 30, Dorothy Willis, 20, Paul Bell, 26, Mary Wallace, 34, and Thomas Jefferson, 36.

By LOUIS CASSELS By United Press International In His vivid parable of the Last Judgment, Jesus pictures the King of Heaven sitting on a throne with all mankind arrayed before Him, the righteous on His right hand and the wicked on His left. The King speaks to those on his right. “Come, enter and possess the kingdoms. For when I was hungry, you gave Me food . . .” Surprised, the righteous ask, “Lord, when was it that we saw You hungry and fed You?” And the King replies: “Anything you did for one of My borthers here, however, humble, you did for Me.” No one takes this parable more seriously than the small band of dedicated Christians who are serving the people of undeveloped countries as agricultural missionaries. More than 50 years before the LT. S. government began sending technical aid missions abroad, American agricultural missionaries were at work in the backwoods villages of Asia, Africa and Latin America. With practically no resources except their knowledge and their bare hands, they helped to dig wells, build compost heaps, plant seedbeds, check erosion. They showed farmers how to increase the yield of each previous plot of land by using better seeds and fertilizers. They introduced protein-rich crops such as peanuts and soybeans. They learned how to cope with the plagues which periodically wiped out the chicken flocks. They organized credit unions t o deliver farmers from the clutches of usurious moneylenders who charged them up to 200 per cent interest on loans. They founded marketing cooperatives. They taught the village women how to use local products—such as sisal straw— to make handicrafts that could be sold in the cities. The heroic efforts of the agricultural missionaries—and some of the miracles they’ve achieved in raising living standards

among the poorest people on earth—are recounted in a new book called “Crusade Against Hunger” Harper & Row by I. W. Moo maw, an Ohia farmer who went to India in 1925 as an agricultural missionary for the Church of the Brethren. In recent years, he has kept in touch with agricultural missionaries in all parts of the world as a field representative of the interdenominational agency, Agricultural Missions Inc. Moomaw doesn’t dwell on the hardships of the work. He is absorbed with the results—the well-night incredible transformations that take place when modern farming technology begins to lift people from the brink of starvation and introduce them to a new life of hope and human dignity. But at the end of the book, he speaks out with the long-sup-pressed bitterness of a man who has seen too many babies starve. “At present, the chruches have 320 agricultural and home economics workers in service abroad,” he says. “They make up only 3 per cent of the total number of American Protestant missionaries sent abroad. “Today, the Protestant Churches of America are giving in support of this work an average of ten cents per member per year. This represents little more than the crumbs that fall from our tables. “There is no situation in which a small investment can do so much to relieve human suffering. Why are we doing so little? Why this feeble response when the church is confronted by the greatest opportunity of the century? Does this represent the heart of the American people?” In the parable of the Last Judgment, the King turns to the people on His left, and tells them they’re unfit for the kingdom of heaven because “when I was hungry you gave Me nothing to eat.” They also are surprised, and ask when this happened.. And the King answers: “Anything you did not do for one of these humble ones, you did not do for me."
