GREEXCASTLE’S FIRST GUN “Very early the people saw the need of military protection and ere long a militia company was formed. The story of its origin and the incidents leading thereto is so admirably told in a paper entitled, “The First Gun,” read by Tarvin C. Croons before the Putnam County Historical Society several years ago that the liberty is taken to reproduce a portion of it here as follows: “I am glad to report all I have been able to learn about the famous old cast-iron sixpounder, the first weapon the town ever had, and which has now become more or less historic. From persons who have lived here much longer than I, we learn that this old implement of warfare was brought to the county by the militia regiment which was organized here in the early days and of which Gen. Joseph Orr, Gen. John Standeford, Col. Hiram Miller, Colonel Sigler and Bever&l others were prominent members. Thomas Wyatt says the old cannon was brought from Fort Harrison by General Orr himself, that at the same time Orr brought some old guns for the local military company, of which Jefferson Walls was the captain. He also brought some large pistols for a horse company, of which William Bailey was captain. But for the can-

non.

“One old citizen says that he remembers it very well, but fired on public occasions only. In 1836, when the internal improvement bill was passed, it was still in use and the citizens were so rejoiced that they took it to a spot of high ground south of the public square and west of the old college on Jackson Street and fired it off in the direction of Putnamville, between which place and Greencastle there had been much rivalry over the location of the county seat. On this occasion George Thompson lost an arm and Doctor Tarvin Cowgill was injured in the hand by a premature discharge. The gun was frequently hauled out and fired off, whereupon people living at a distance from Greencastle, hearing the sound, would immediately drive to town to learn the news. On one occasion Peter Albaugh, who lived near the mouth of Little Walnut heard it and at once struck out for Greencastle on his swiftest nag to learn

Madison and Walnut Streets. After being loaded with copious quantities of sod, yellow clay and other like substances, it was discharged, but alas! it was the last salute the old weapon was destined ever to fire. Under the glorious enthusiasm of the day it had exploded, one of the pieces, weighing sixty pounds, striking the home of Judge Cowgill. Nobody was injured. The fragments were gathered together and the whole advertised for sale. A man named Wolf, who had been operating a small foundry on the west side of town, became the purchaser. Later, Wolf changed his location to Albaugh’s mill, about a mile and a half southwest of town, and transferred the fragments of the old cannon there. One day he undertook to melt the latter, but without success, for the old iron became refractor and refused to melt. One of the largest pieces lay about the old mill for years and was finally thrown into the branch, where, covered by the gradual deposits of earth and gravel, it will sleep undisturbed until, in the distant future, some vandal antiquarian shall disinter and expose it as a relic of prehistoric times."

Play Review Last night’s performance of “The Miracle Worker" at the DePauw Little Theatre was a most interesting one for the Putnam County Playhouse audience. A “new" Annie Sullivan heard the voices of her past, fought with Helen Keller and won the first, fresh victory in her struggle to reach her pupil. The part of the once blind teacher was played last weekend by Sue Nickerson Williams. This week for the two nights of the run Treva Raymann, a sophomore at Indiana State and native of Bainbridge taking her turn as the second Annie in the double cast role. Mrs. Raymann’s interpretation develops Annie as an uncertain but determined girl. Her passion to succeed seems to arise primarily from her desperate need for a job and we are keenly aware of her lack of training. Perhaps this makes even more exciting her progress with Helen as the rebellious youngster first learns what “not

to do.”

Arthur McGaughey and Dr. W. B. Gwathney. On driving towards them and inquiring what had happened, he was blandly informed that one of the most distinguished citizens had moved out of town that day and they had simply fired off the old gun as a manifestation of their complete satisfaction and

approval.

“On the Fourth of July, 1845, in connection with a widely advertised celebration of Independence Day, the people were asked to assemble at one o’clock, the notice to be the proper signal from the gun.

Billy Graham's Daughter Weds MONTREAT, N. C. UPI — The second oldest daughter of evangelist Billy Graham — an 18-year-old blonde who looks like a high fashion model—was married Friday night to Dr. Daniel Milton Lotz, a 29-year-old Raleigh dentist who once gained fame on collegiate basketball courts. The couple, both the children of ordained Baptist ministers, exchanged vows in Gaither Chapel on the National Presbyterian Assembly grounds, the same chapel where the bride’s parents were wed in 1943. About 500 persons, including Gov. and Mrs. Dan K. Moore, singer Ethel Waters and many prominent business and industrial leaders from all parts of the nation, filled the white chrysanthemum bedecked chapel.

they faced.

The girls involved were China Lee, Paula Angelus, Haji Lamme, Candy Ward and Avenia Bentley.

Johnson Fails To Get Money WASHINGTON UPI—President Johnson has failed in his effort to get money from Congress to send the first of his elite national teacher corps volunteers into poverty-area schools on schedule next week. Johnson has been trying all year to get $31 million from Congress to subsidize the salaries of 3,700 veteran teachers and interns needed to upgrade instruction of deprived school children. The best he was able to get was $10 million to start training recruits. The House rejected the fund request for starting the program in the schools, and the Senate appropriations committee has not even acted on the matter. Charges have been made by members of the House Appropriations Committee that the administration is trying to evade its strict orders to do no more than train eorpsmen this year.

WASHINGTON UPI — A Department of Agriculture study tends to confirm what farmers have been saying all along— net income hasn’t kept pace with production costs. While net income on the farm went up only slightly between 1949 and 1965, production costs during the same period just about doubled, according to the study by the department’s Economic Research Service. ERS reported that in 1949 farmers in 48 states realized $13.6 billion in net income while spending nearly $18 billion for production. A comparative study for 1965 showed that U. S. farms, excluding those in Hawaii and Alaska, had tos pend $30 billion to come up with a net income of $14.2 billion. During the same 17-year period, government payments to farmers in the 48 states climbed from $1.85 million to $2.45 billion. Among government farm program payments in 1965 for the 48 states were $956 million for the feed grain diversion program, $487 million wheat marketing certificates and $435 million f6r the feed grain price support program. An Agriculture Department requirement that chicken or turkey soup contain at least 2 percent poultry meat goes into effect Jan. 1, 1967. This requirement, delayed by litigation in a federal court in New Jersey, is designed to assure consumers that all soups

identified as “chicken" or “turkey” soup would have enough poultry meat to merit the label, the department said. The court ended the litigation last month with a final decision upholding the Agriculture Department.

Hollywood News

By VERNON SCOTT HOLLYWOOD UPI—The call sheet for the day's shooting on the set of "Don’t Make Waves” called for five “topless waitresses.” Now a topless waitress is a dubious term. The girls were far from topless. In fact, they were splendidly topped. They simply wore no tops to their costumes. Such attractions are commonplace in California restaurants and foreign movies. But this was the first time they were to be included in an American movie. They were called upon to mill around in a complicated poolside party scene involving stars Tony Curtis, Claudia Cardinale and Sharon Tate — the latter performers fully clothed. For whatever reason, probably modesty, director Sandy MacKendrick took great pains to insure the camera caught only the backs of the topless girls. Time and again he halted shooting to chastise a topless cutie

danced in topless joints in and around Hollywood. Between scenes they draped towels over themselves in what apparently

was modesty.

But when MacKendrick called, “action,” they discarded the towels and the assemblage came to animated attention. Were they self-conscious in their state of undress while those around them were losing

their heads?

“No,” said Paula, a luscious blonde. “It’s just a job. Like when I’m dancing in a club, I don’t even see the audience.” China allowed as how a girl becomes accustomed to being stared at when in a state of dishabille: “A girl's a girl. And men like to look at them.” Between scenes the topless quintet repaired to a small

The hand is not particularly good for an opening bid of one notrump (although this was the bid chosen when the hand was actually played) because of the two doubletons and the fact that there are only 15 points in high cards. Most experts require 16 points for an opening bid of one notrump.

If a strong East had the king of diamonds, he might be returning a diamond in the hope of talking declarer out of a normal finesse. South knew that East was not that strong a player. If this particular East had the king of diamonds he would lead some other suit and wait for South to tackle the diamonds by himself. If East didn’t have the king of diamonds, there was only

POINT TO REMEMBER: RUSSIA STILL TOP FOE

RED CHINA IS NOISIER, KREMUN S MORE SUBTLE

The Kremlin Afucfr aid to

North Viet Nam

By HENRY CATHCART Central Press Washington Writer W7ASHINGTOX—A couple of new espionage cases uncovered W in Washington serve to remind Americans that European Communist regimes continue to be enemies of the United States. The fact is frequently lost sight of these days in our preoccupation with Red China and her active support of the North Vietnamese effort to take over all of Viet Nam. Red China is our most vocal enemy, but not necessarily the most dangerous, or the

most potent.

Despite a long period of quiet, Russia continues to rank as No. 1 on that dubious list. Russia is also supporting the North Vietnamese military effort. And Soviet support probably is greater in a material sense than that

of Red China

MIGs are Russian-made fighter planes, and the surface-to-air missiles being fired at U.S. planes were designed and made in Russia. Red China is incapable of providing the North Vietnamese Reds with either of these weapons, or with a host of other military hardware

which supports the revolutionaries.

It is Russian tankers that bring in oil to the port of Haiphong and it is Russian-made tanks there and in

Hanoi which are used to store the fuel.

North Viet Nam has many Soviet technicians actively assisting the north Vietnamese, particularly in training them in the use of the materiel being shipped in from Russia. In a way, Red China is assisting the Russians by making so much noise that the Soviet operations are virtually cloaked in secrecy. It is true that Red China is pursuing a “harder” line against the United States than Russia is, but it is doubtful that it is as effective or as difficult to counter as is the Soviet’s

quieter aggression.

• “GAMBLING DEN"—Rep. Wright Patman, D-Tex., in tha course of attacking the Federal Reserve Board, produced a set of dice and showed them to his colleagues in the House. The dice were loaded, Patman said, and came up either 7 or 11 on every throw. “That is the way the Federal Reserve and the banks oper-

ate,” said Patman. “They cannot lose."

Just then Rep. H. R. Gross, R-Iowa, walked into the chamber

and in mock amazement asked: “Is the gentleman trying to convert the House chamber into a gambling establishment with these dice here?" Patman replied in the negative and explained again the purpose of the dice was merely to illus-

trate a point.

Whereupon Rep. Charles S. Joelson, D-N.Y., shook his head sadly, and remarked: “I now understand, after this demonstration, why this is called, the greatest deliberative body in the
