CLINTON TOWNSHIP Clinton Township joins Russell on the south, and is the preceding Congressional township of the same range. It is bounded on the north by Russell, on the east by Monroe, on the south by Madison Townships and on the west by Parke County. A small portion of Clinton is a little rough and broken, though most of it lies well, and the township altogether is a fine body of land, and very well improved. The first entry of land in this township was made by Ashbery Vandever on June 17, 1821; the next by Roan Irwin, July 22, 1821; the third by Sampson Sutherlin, August 2, 1821; the fourth by Israel Linder, October 8, 1821. Some of the entries of the year 1822 were made by the following named, in the order in which they are given: Alexander Johnson, Abner Goodwin, John Holt, John Dougherty, Isaiah Vermillion, Andrew McG. Walker, Andrew J. Walker and James Peakle. The first birth in the township Was that of John Sigler, son of Andrew and Sarah Sigler, on December 15, 1825. Andrew Sigler and Sarah Heady were the first persons married in the township. The first blacksmith was a man named Twigg. The first grist-mill was put up in the year 1825 by Capt. Goodwin on Little Walnut Creek. Like many others of those early days, it was a kind of wetweather mill, and could run only when the heavens gave a supply of water. Capt. William H. Thornburg, sq well-known to the citizens of Putnam County, taught the first school in Clinton Township at Capt. Goodwin’a mill. The first physician in the township was Dr. Hubbard. The first church organized in this township was the Predestinarian Baptist. This took place about the year 1831, and was conducted by Rev. Turpin Daraall of Bainbridge. John Leatherman and Jesse McClain were among the earliest ministers gf this congregation. A house was soon built, and the organization was kept up for a number of years, but is now dis-

banded and the house is going to decay. The M. E. Church was organized about the year 1832 by Rev. William C. Smith, and a log house was built a year later. Revs. Aaron Wood, DeMott, Beck, Preston and Wright were the early ministers of this church. A f.ew years later, two other Methodist Churches were organized in the township and log houses were erected. All three of these buildings have been replaced with frame ones of substantial character. Some years ago, the Tunker denomination organized a church in this township, and built a good frame house of worship. In Clinton Township there are three small communities: Portland Mills, Morton and Clinton Falls. The first named is an old town, and is so situated that a part of it is in Clinton and a part in Russell Township, Putnam County and a part in each of two townships in Parke County.

NEWS OF BOYS DA NANG, Vietnam—Marine Lance Corporal Ronnie L. Baker, son of Mr. and Mrs. Herman W. Baker of Greenc&stle, is serving as a member of Marine Air Base Squadon (MASS)-12, Miarine Aircraft Group (MAG)12 at Chu Lai, Vietnam. MABS-12 is responsible for the operations and maintenance functions of the squadrons in the Group. MAG-12 flies the A4 “Skyhawk” jet aircraft on missions in support of U. S. Marines, Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) Soliders, and other units engaged in operations against the enemy. SAN DIEGO, Calif.—Marine Private Dallas E. Harvey, son of Mr. and MTs. Robert E. Harvey of 93 Martinsville St., Greencastle, was graduated from eight weeks of recruit training at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot here. He will now undergo about three weeks of individual combat training and then, after leave at home, will report to his first Marine Corps assignment. The intensified Marine recruit training emphasizes rigid physical conditioning and survival techniques, both at sea and ashore, to develop self-confi-dence and endurance. Marksmanship with the M-14 rifle and 45-calibre pistol are equally stressed, and close order drill instills the traditions of Marine Corps teamwork. A thorough study of basic military subjects; hygiene; first aid and sanitation; and the customs, courtesies, history and mission of the Marine Corps serve to polish the new Marine’s recruit education and prepare him to join Marine combat forces.

TV in

(By RICK DU BROW) l HOLLYWOOD UPI — The latest national television ratings seem to verify the increasing suspicion that viewers are growing weary of imbecilic little series, and are seeking out special programs more than ever. It is true that the pre-holiday period covered in these ratings is known for its added number of specials, but the audiences for the one-shot broadcasts were still impressive-and no one forces viewers to watch, no matter what the season. Perhaps most impressive was the fact that even among the top regular series listed, viewers sought out the special talents Red Skelton, Lucille Ball, the late Walt Disney, Jackie Gleason, Dean Martin, Andy Williams. Only a relative handful of the run-of-the-mill situation comedies were well up in the worst junk ground out weekly by the film factories was pretty well down in the ratings, which might make certain key network executives ponder a bit on past programming cliches. Are they behind their audiences ? As for one favored branch of “special” broadcasting movies the ratings substantiated the continuing popularity in this area, with four of the five weekly network motion pictures finishing among the top 41 shows a strong public endorsement With “Bonanza” ranking No. 1 again, the second rated show was a special that was also seen last season, “A Charlie Brown Christmas." based on the characters of the “Peanuts” comic strip. Next in the rankings was a Danny Thomas special his third annual edition of "The Wonderful World of Burlesque,” And following his program in the ratings was the Frank Sinatra musical special. Another one-shot bi'oadeast "Dr. Seuss’ how the Grinch stole Christmas,” came in sixth in the ratings. And a Bob Hope comedy special from Acapulco

review

Disenchantment with the regular series of the new season was indicated again when the highest-rated weekly freshman show, “Family Affair,” came in 24th among all entries. The next highest new series, “Rat Patrol,” which ranked third early in the season, finished in the 30th position this time out. But “Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol,” a holdover special from past seasons, was No. 27; a National Geographic documentary about insects, "The Hidden World,” was No. 28, and a firstrun holiday outing entitled “Christmas with Lome Green” was No. 33. Perhaps, though, the most interesting statistics were those that indicated that quality specials-or at least those that try to be of quality needn’t finish at the very bottom of the ratings even though they may not rank at the top. For example, of the 106 programs listed in the ratings, the drama “The Glass Menagerie”. came in No. 60, which actually it a heartening development and seemed to prove that the success last year of “Death of a Salesman” was no fluke. Furthermore, a rerun of “The Nutcracker,” the ballet with Tchaikovsky’s music, was No. 63. Ahd “The Hallmark Hall <rf Fame” production of "Blithe Spirit” was No. 65 and this series often in the past has finished much further down* “Christ is Bora,” a beautiful telling of the story of the nativity, rar up against “Blithe Spirit,” yet managed to come in No. 7§, with a rating better than that of “The Green Hornet,” "Candid Camera,” "The Monroes” and many other weekly series. And even the concert special. “S. Hurok Presents,” which placed 92nd, finished above such series a« “The Map Who Never Was,” "Shane,” the Garry Moore show, the Roger MiUer program, "The Hero,” "The Pruitts of Southampton.” “12 O’clock High” and 'Tve Got a Secret.”

No Out GOLDEN, Colo. UPI — Dan Mosley has a problem. It all started when the county zoning department ordered him to get lid of his yardfull of junk cars. He tried burning them but the county air pollution variance board said no. He tried to haul them to the dump but officials said there was no room. Mosley still has a yardfull of junk cars. The zoning department still wants them cleared away.

Choose Carefully With Limited Means By Alfred Sbeinwold When you’re operating on a limited budget you have to spend your money on merchandise you can surely use. You can’t afford to throw your money away on stuff of doubtful value. v South dealer Neither side vulnetobla NORTH 4 864 V 98 O 763 4 A3432 WEST EAST 4 Q 10 4 932 Sq632 C A J 754 O J 9 J O 102 4 KQ86 4 197 SOUTH 4 AK175 K10 O AKQ84 4 10 South West North East 2 4 Pass 2 NT Pass 3 O Pass 3 4 Pass 4 4 All Pass L Opening lead 4 £ The best players in the national tournament last summer applied this principle to the play of a hand in the Life Master Pair Championship. They won dummy’s only trick with the ace of clubs and had to use

this sole entry to dummy to best advantage. Thoughtless players led a trump, trying a finesse with the jack. This happened to lose to the queen, and these players eventually had to lead hearts frorp the South hand, losing two more tricks. Even the thoughtless players made four spades, but this was not enough to earn them a good score. Overtricks are important in a tournament. POOR FINESSE Thoughtful players saw that the spade finesse would be useful chiefly if East held precisely Q-x-x of spades. One finesse would help only slightly if East held more than three trumps; and it would be unnecessary if East held only one or two trumps. A heart lead from dummy would be useful if East had the ace of hearts no matter how the hearts broke. The heart lead gave South a 50 per cent chance to gain a trick, but a spade lead would give South only a 30 per cent chance to gain. Whenever declarer led hearts from dummy at the second trick, East took the ace of hearts and led a club for South

to ruff. South could load out the ace and king of trumps, getting an unexepected bonus when the queen happened to drop. The correct play gave South twelve tricks instead of only ten—a very important dif* ference in tournament play. DAILY QUESTION Partner opens with two spades (forcing to game), and the next players passes. You hold: S-Q-10; H-Q 6 3 2; D*J 9 5; C-K Q 8 6. What do YOU say? Answer: Bid 2 NT, the negative response. You have 10 very poor points in high cards, but no aces and only one king. A positive response to a twobid should strongly suggest a slam, and this is reasonable when you have at least two or three of the eight aces and kings. It is not reasonable when you have an assortment eg queens and jacks.
