This past Tuesday night the Putnam County Fair was honored at the annual convention of the Indiana Association of County 4b District Fairs. A committee of non-Indiana members judged the fairs based on a written and oral report that was submitted. Four finalists are selected with one being judged as the Grand Champion Fair. This year there was a tie between two fairs, so there were five finalists. Putnam County was not the grand champion,

but we feel honored to be in the top five, especially when the

tion than our entire county. The grand champion fair was the LaPorte County Fair of LaPorte. Other finalists were Lake County, Elkhart County and Delaware County. This is the second trophy in two years. We of Putnam County should be justly proud and aim for the Grand Champion Fair in 1967. This is a county

effort.

Wednesday afternoon, I met with the mothers of the Madison Township Girls 4-H Club. Mrs. Paul Aker who has been a 4-H Leader in Madison Township for the past several years, has resigned due to increased involvment in other activities such as president of the Home Demonstration Council. Therefore, a new leader was needed. The 1967 Madison Township 4-H leaders will be Mrs. Wendell Brattain and Mrs. Wm. Rowings. This was an interesting meeting and it is heartwarming to see mothers that take action to see their local club continue. • • • The 4-H Council meeting was

held Wednesday night at the County Extension Office. Election of officers was held with Herschel Knoll as president; Mrs. Paul McKeehan, vice president; Mrs. John Cantonwine, secretary; and Ward Mayhall, treasurer for 1967. The council is a nine member committee that selects 4-H winners and supervises, directs and promotes 4-H work in Putnam County. Members of the council are Mrs. Doris Salsman, Mrs. John Cantonwine, Mrs. Paul McKeehan, Ward Mayhall, Herschel Knoll, Herschel Nichols, Byran Zuerner, Mrs. Wm. McElroy and a member that is to be named.

—Draft System Americans are convinced that some system of conscription is necessary, there is a widespread crisis of confidence to the justice and efficiency of the present law. That law, which has been to effect 29 years, is due to expire next June 30. Before the expiration date, Congress must decide whether to extend it as Is, overhaul it, or scrap it to favor of some entirely different system of meeting military man power needs. Advocates of each alternative will express their views at public hearings of the House Arm- ^ ed Services Committee* beginning about March 1. President Johnson’s recommendations are still being formulated. They will be made public after the President receives a report from a 20member advisory commission which he appointed last July. The commission, headed by former Assistant Atty. Gen. Burke Marshall, is due to sub-

mit its findings to the White House this month. If Congress is as responsive to public opinion as it usually is, the draft law seems to be in for its first major revisions since 1948. The UPI survey showed that very few Americans are satisfied with the present setup.

—Nuclear Talks Soviet view it would have given West Germany access to the NATO nuclear arsenal. According to reliable sources, the United States is now suggesting a brief formula under which the nuclear powers would pledge not to transfer any atomic arms into the national control of non-nuclear state. It is reported that references to the total number at nuclear states and other organizations have been dropped. So far, the Soviet Union has not agreed to the new U.S. formula, but the Russians have consented to discuss it, the sources said.

'Get Up And Go' Power Gives Way To Idleness

By ROBERTA ROESCH “I used to be loaded with ‘Get Up and Go’ power,'* said a housewife. “But now, even though I am almost desperate to do something, I just sit down and do nothing. “I feel I must get on my feet to stimulate both the budget and my personality because I’m so disgruntled and unhappy with myself. Question Posed “But what opportunities exist for the mother of a three-year-old, two-year-old and one-year-old when she has no money for baby sitters, no relatives to the town where she lives, and no husband at home from Monday till Friday?’* The first opportunity, as I mentioned to this woman, lies in adopting the intelligent viewpoint that she must try to do something extra to give her an outside interest, no matter how tied down she feels with home and family routine. The second opportunity lies in examining her abilities and aptitudes and pinpointing one that she can develop at home in the present, a stimulation for both the budget and herself in the future. One woman who did this successfully while she was tied down at home was a person who decided her aptitude and ability pointed to the art field. Art Interest “Before I settled down to life as a housewife, I had been interested in art,” she ( said, “so while I was caring for my home and family, I decided to take an art instruction course by correspondence to my odds and ends of time.” As a result of her industry, practice and study this wife ‘ made a start—in the way that

was right for her—toward the kind of future that stimulated both her budget and her “Get Up and Go” power. “Today I have a studio to my home,’’ she explained. “My work consists of doing signs, posters, silk screen letterings, paintings and murals. Recently I was commissioned to paint five wild

She Paints Murals And Other Art Work In Studio At Home animal murals. A museum is interested in a pastel I did of an old Indian lady, and a building contractor is planning to keep me busy painting signs for him. “The effort I expended is paying off,” she said, “not only in the financial aspect but also in deep satisfaction.” Your Decision The effort you decide to expend for whatever skill you can develop to the years that you are busy as a housewife can also pay off in your future. And the way this can happen is to get on your feet with some determination that you are going to put to use every moment of your time and every ounce of your strength.
