The Regular Baptists organized a congregation here about 1832. John Case, William Hogan and Carter Hunter were among their first preachers. Their present church-building is located on the farm of Jesse Eggers. The second house of worship in the township was built at New Maysville by this denomination, soon after the town was laid out. The organization of the Missionary Baptists in the town* ship, dates from 1841. Elders Palmer, Davis, Kirkendall and Rhinerson, were among the first pastors of this congregation. The Christian Church was organized in 1839, by Nathan Waters and Gilbert Harney. In 1840, they erected a church at New Maysville, which was occupied until 1865, when they built their present house in the same village. The early preachers of this denomination were Elders Thomas Lockhart, Oliver P. Badger, Wilson Barnes, Caambs, Blanckenship and O’Kane. There sure two villages within the bounds of Jackson Township. New Maysville Is located Dn Sections 27 and 84. It was laid out in 1832 by Richard Biddle, on land owned by John Johnson, William Welch and Aquila Talbott, At one time, the population was approximately 175, and the town consisted of

one dry goods store, one grocery store, one drug store, one blacksmith shop, one shoe shop, one steam grist-mill, one hotel and a post office. The place was named by Richard Biddle, after Maysville, Mason County, Kentucky. Fort Red (now called Barnard) is located on sections one and twelve, and was laid out by William DeMoss in 1876. It received its name from a red schoolhouse located at that point. The business of the place once consisted of one general store, one drug store, one blacksmith shop, and a post office. William DeMoss was the first Postmaster. Perhaps John Johnson did as much as any other for the moral and religious training of the people, as he had four sons who were circuit riders, and his family was of unimpeachable character. In regard to its moral status, Jackson stands as high, perhaps, as any other township in the County Jail. The township has never contained a saloon. Three of the leading religious denominations have a fair representation in the township. The Odd Fellows and the Good Templars have each an organization in New Maysville. In politics, the township is overwhelmingly Democratic; especially is this true of the north and northwest side of Walnut; on the southeast side of the creek the parties are more equally divided.

—DPU Senate a Universal National Service. Under the USN compulsion would still exist, but upon being drafted at the age of 18 each draftee would elect to serve either in a military or a nonmilitary organization. By a “non-military” organization, the students said they meant the Peace Corps, Vista, Job Corps or public works projects “which on the whole would be more arduous and of longer duration than military service.” Under this system, which is based on the notion that each individual owes something to his country for his citizenship, “one would have the opportunity to choose how he might best serve his country.” The report also suggested the idea of a strictly voluntary system though it recognized that the ones most likely to enlist would be those from the lower income groups seeking increased economic benefits. The report turned thumbs down on a national lottery because it would be too little change from the present system. In possibly its most unusual proposal, the report, researched by four males, argued that if conscription persists “it is imperative that women be included on an equal basis with men.” Agreeing that the women should receive non-combat positions, it said, nevertheless, that “there seems to be no reason. . .to exclude women.” It cited a 1948 study, furthermore, which showed that a W T AC cost $77 per year less than the man she replaced. A final alternative offered by the document called for the creation of a sort of political-sociological-philosophical objecttor category. This classification, receiVed only after a careful evaluation of the objector’s case, would not, however, excuse the objector from serving the country in some other capacity. Farrell, who is from Winona,

Minn., said the document was drafted by a Senate committee, discussed fully, amended, and then accepted unanimously by the 69-member governmental body.

POOR RELIEF SYSTEM MAY BE CHANGED A new effort will be made in the 1967 General Assembly to remove the administration of poor relief from the township trustees and place it in the hands of the county department

ot public Vv eiidue. The campaign will be spearheaded by the reactivated Indiana Citizens Committee for the Study of Public Assistance and Poor Relief laws. Serving as co-chair-man of the organization are Mrs. Thomas J. Beasley, Jr., and attorney Lewis Bose. Mrs. Beasley said that in most states “poor relief” is administered, supervised or controlled by the state welfare de-partment-while in Indiana ; t is administered almost wholly without supervision or effective regulation. “There are 1,009 township trustees in the state,” Mr. Bose said, “and just about that many different policies for administering poor relief.” “To a great extent,” he said, “the township

La w Lwl O \«iivaAii iiC Will help, h 'w much he will help and under what conditions he will help.” The Committee is not interested in doing away with the township trustee, but in upgrading the administration of the program. All other welfare programs in the state are administered through the county departments of public welfare. Poor relief is a vital part of the overall program and should be run as professionally as the rest. Indiana can no longer afford two systems for welfare administration.
