Editorial-Wise A FAR CRY FROM THE PAST It has always been the. opinion of this newspaper that a person who wants to work can most always find some kind of employment. It may not be the job they wanted particularly, but at least it is a job. Also, the pay may not be just what they wanted or anticipated, but they have something coming in and this certainly should mean more than sitting around expecting relief money or some other federal recompense. The Agriculture Department has announced that Putnam County has been added to the Indiana counties included in the Federal Food Stamp program. Is this good publicity for our community? This newspaper does not think so. Our forefathers expected each and every one of their children to stand on their own two feet and to carve a future for themselves without depending too much on paternal or maternal help and certainly not from the government. Apparently there are a great many who like and want to be pampered, mollycoddled and every other term of this nature that one can call to mind. Indeed, today’s outlook by many people is a far cry from the attitude and perseverance of their ancestors.

The early settlers of Putnam County were generally young married people, or at least, persons with young families, and such as were still in the vigor of their manhood. The old or the infirm do not choose to immigrate to so new a country. This made the population physically a good one. A more healthy and vigorous people is rarely found anywhere, and the condition of society and of the country compelling them to serve outdoor exercise, augmented greatly their energy and length of days. They were composed of the more hardy, adventurous and enterprising of several of the older states. Kentucky contributed largely to our early population. North Carolina sent a goodly share. Many came from East Tennessee, while Virginia furnished many valuable citizens. Still others came from older portions of Indiana, from Ohio, Pennsylvania and the East. The moral character of these early settlers was generally of a high order. They were honest in their dealings, industrious by habit, and charitable toward their neighbors. That they were deeply imbued with the principles of the Christian religion, may be inferred from their very early establishment of various church organizations. On the contrary, the fact they were subject to some of the vices incident to the time in which they lived, need not be concealed. But they possessed within themselves of the elements of their own correction. Industry and economy are the great conservator of morals. These, the early inhabitants of Putnam County had in a large measure. The too frequent use of strong drink was their most common fault. It was thought by some here, as elsewhere, that liquor was essential to the successful accomplishment of any enterprise in which men were called to unite their energies. At first all yielded to the prevailing custom, until at length Benjamin Jones determined that he would no longer practice that which he knew to be evil thus becoming the first active temperance reformer in a wide-spread community. Others followed his good example and their own convictions of right, and they have lived to see the evil banished to the especial haunts of vice. The first temperance lecture

in the county was delivered In 1828, by Dr. A. C. Stevenson, in the Court House. While he was speaking, some of the topers came in with their bottles and drank bumpers to one another, and to the speaker. But the Doctor, undaunted by their boldness, shook his long finger at the group, saying: “You may drink boldly now, boys, but the time is coming when you will drink behind the door.” And he lived to see the prediction fulfilled. Such incidents as these, a number of which are still related by the older generation, show that .while there were some of an opposite spirit, there was a strong moral influence pervading the community. From the young families who settled in Putnam County, most of the present population has sprung, and it is impossible to estimate the influence of their character upon the welfare of those who enjoy their heritage. The power of these early influences was well told a few years ago by Dr. A. C. Stevenson. He said: “To the high moral, temperate and religious principles established by these worthy pioneers, is much of the prosperity and greatness of the county indebted. Their work may never i be fully appreciated. The historian may never be able to find i material with which to make a record. But their work, never- : theless, has been an important one. Early conditions of society I are difficult to change. The character of a community, once established, remains generation after generation. Certain streets in our cities become the habitation of thieves, gamblers and courtesans, and remain so from age to age. It is so, to a great extent, in the country. On the other hand, the good draw to them those of a like character, and a high moral and religious i condition once established, is likely to remain for posterity.

The Fillmore Christian Church was the setting Sunday afternoon for the beautiful candlelight wedding of Miss Diana Lynne Nichols and Gary Warren Canada. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Herschel C. Nichols, R. R. 1, Bainbridge. The groom is the son of Mrs. Elizabeth Ash, R. R. 1, Greencastle. The church was decorated with ferns, palms, candelabra, and an organ arrangement of white flowers. The bride, given in marriage by her father, was lovely in a gown which she herself styled and made. It was of white- reembroidered Alencon lace over bridal satin and was fashioned with an empire waist and very slim skirt. The bracelet-length sleeves had puffed inserts at the elbow and cuffs of satin with a ruffle of lace scallops. The ties of the large satin bow at the back of the waist formed a chapel length train. Her veil of illusion was secured by a crown of pearls. She carried an old-fashioned nosegay bouquet of yellow rosebuds and white ribbon streamers. Her pearls were a gift of the groom. Miss Rose Ada Cooper, Greencastle, was maid of honor and Misses Judy Nichols, R. 3, Greencastle, and Elissa Harrison, Mitchell, were bridesmaids. Miss Becky Pyke, daughter of the minister, was flower girl. They were identically attired in yellow lace over white taffeta, fashioned after the bride’s gown. Pale green velvet ribbon accented the empire waistline. They wore fingertip veils which were held in place by yellow lace roses and the green ribbon.

The maid of honor and bridesmaids carried white fireside baskets of yellow mums and gladioli. The flower girl carried a basket of yellow rose petals. James Nichols, brother of the bride was ring bearer. Both mothers chose blue with black and white accessories and their corsages were yellow glad-

ioli.

Mr. and Mrs. Paul R. Salmon, grandparents of the bride, grew and arranged the flowers for the bridal attendants’ baskets, the mothers’ corsages, the organ arrangement and the bouquets for the reception. Helping at the reception table were the bride’s aunts, Mrs. Howard Burkett, Greencastle, and Mrs. Noble Fry, Roachdale; her cousin, Mrs. Russell Brown, Crawfordsville, and Miss Judy Thompson, Greencastle. Mr. and Mrs. Canada are both students at Indiana University. She has chosen a nursing career and he is majoring in law. They will be at home to their friends at the Knightridge Manor apartments in Bloomington as soon as they are completed. Rev. George S. Pyke officiated at the double ring ceremony. Bridal music was played on the organ by Miss Jean Horn of Fillmore, and Daniel Webber, Greencastle, sang, “More,” “As Long As She Needs Me,” and “One Hand, One Heart’’ preceding the ceremony. Ushers were John Nichols, the bride’s brother, and Ralph Fry, her cousin, and Edward Minnick, Jr., cousin of the groom. Miss Diane Sutherlin, registered guests, and Misses Debbie Nichols and Susie Boswell were in charge of gifts.

Sheinwold On Bridge Opponent’s Glare Is A Poor Guide By Alfred Shienwold Which would you rather have in time of need—an extra king or queen or the ability to glare threateningly at an opponent?

West then led the eight of clubs through the dummy and glared violently at South. South was very unhappy. Everything had gone too quickly, and now it seemed sure that East had the king of clubs. Why else would West be making those grotesque faces? With some vague thought about the diamond finesse South put up dummy’s ace of clubs, drew trumps and led a diamond to try a finesse with the queen. East won with the king of diamonds and returned a club, whereupon the treacherous West produced the king of clubs to Increase the penalty to 200 points. IRRELEVANT FINESSE The diamond finesse was Irrelevant. The game depended on the club finesse and on nothing else. Even if the diamond finesse worked South would be able to discard only one club from his hand on dummy's ace of diamonds. He would still have to try the club finesse. If the club finesse worked, however, South would be able to discard one diamond from his hand on the ace of clubs. That would leave declarer without a diamond loser; he would not need the diamond finesse. No matter what West returns at the fourth trick South should make up his mind to take the club finesse and refuse the diamond finesse. It was clever of West to return a club rather than a diamond; and even cleverer of West to glare at South; but it was very foolish of South to play the hand by fright instead of by logic.

Russia Assails Red Guard Action MOSCOW UPI — Russia has accused Peking of planning' to expand its anti-Western Red Guard campaign beyond the borders of Communist China as the first step in spreading a “revolutionary storm” over the world. The Soviet Communist party newspaper Pravda, in a dispatch from its Peking correspondent, also said the officially-backed Red Guards did not have the support of the Chinese people and were carrying out their crusade in violation of China’s constitution and “the elementary principles of law.” The Peking dispatch was accompanied by an editorial in Pravda that attacked the Red Guard movement to wipe out all foreign influences in China as “superficial” and said Peking could learn much from the technological achievements of the Western world. Pravda quoted a declaration of the Red Guards in Peking that said, “Tell all the world most seriously that we are not only starting a revolutionary storm in China, but shall spread it to all the world.” The newspaper also quoted Chinese Foreign Minister Chen Yi to the effect that “the great cultural revolution is a great beginning in the international Communist movement” and will “undoubtedly exert an invaluable and far reaching influence on the development of the world revolution at present and in the future.”
