LETTER

EDITOR

Dear Editor: This is an open letter to the citizens of Putnam County: Greencastle and other parts of the country have recently been experiencing an influx of so-called “Good Luck Charms,” which closely resemble the “Prussian Iron Cross” and the Swastika. These items are being merchandised to the unsuspecting youth of our country under such names as Surfer’s Medals, Cyclist Medals, or any other name which will influence our youth to purchase these items. The “Prussian Iron Cross” for many years rated with the most coveted medals of the world. It ranked with our own Medal of Honor, the French Croix De Guerre and the British Victoria Cross. With the rise of Hitler and Nazism, it was associated with the Swastika and took on sadistic connotations as it was awarded to those persons committing crimes against mankind to further the Nazi regime, and to mothers for providing sons for the Nazi youth movement. This then can not be the type of symbol with which our youth Should Identify themselves. At present, our sons and brothers are being asked to join the armed services and to combat the enemies of free men in Viet Nam and elsewhere. We, an loyal Americans, must then rededicate ourselves and our families to the principles of Freedom and Democracy. It is our obligation as parents and a free people to provide our children with the awareness of what these symbols actually stand for; to discourage the purchase; the wearing or displaying of such medals or decals which could in any form be considered as being opposed to the American way of life. We, the Veterans Organizations of Putnam County, urge all citizens of this community to join with us in an effort to remove all such objectional merchandise from the stores and homes in this area. As a further display of our loyalty to our figthing men, past and present, let us not leave one serviceman’s grave unadorned Memorial Day. Show Your Colors—Display Our Flag.

GroupFinally Approves Bill WASHINGTON UPI — The Senate Commerce Committee Friday approved long-stalled legislation aimed at cutting through advertising claims to permit housewives to get the best buy in kitchen and bathroom supplies. By a 14-3 vote, the committee approved the “truth-in-packag-ing-and-labeling bill” almost five years after it was introduced by Sen. Philip A. Hart, D-Mich. “In the never-never land where one man Is king, no, it’s not a good bill,” said Hart ‘But from an over-all view point, it's a fine bill.” After being reworked more than a dozen times, the bill ended up carrying both mandatory and voluntary regulations covering consumer items sold in supermarkets and drugstores.

Under the mandatory provisions, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the federal Trade Commission (FTC) would require packagers and distributors to use labels

that would:

—Display an even total of net quantity in a uniform part of the package by itself. Banned would be totals such as 1 pint, 6 ounces. Instead net quantity would have to read 22 ounces. —Separate promotional words from the net quantity section of the label. This is aimed at eliminating such phrases as a “full, fat 16-ounces.” —Display quantity size on the front of the package in a uniform type size.

Johoson, Press Trust Lacking CHICAGO UPI — President Johnson and the press have not yet developed “a strong feeling of trust,” deputy White House news secretary Roger Fleming said Thursday. Fleming, formerly chief of ABC’s Washington Bureau, was questioned by four newsmen following a speech at the Sigma Delta Chi Headline Club. The panelists questioned Fleming about the alleged “credibility gap” in information coming out of the White House. They raised questions about the announcement that stockpiled aluminum would be put on the market because the government had too much steel, when the marketing was done to prevent a price increase. They also cited the announcement that 23,000 troops were landed in Santo Domingo to save lives when the troops were sent to prevent a Communist takeover.

“I don’t believe there has developed a strong feeling of trust between the President and the press,” he said.
