LETTER

EDITOR

Dear Editor: At Fillmore High School, the principal has been making a big issue to the students about having respect for the teachers. Last week a local club gave the basketball players a banquet. The superintendent of schools and the principal didn’t attend. Monday evening, the PTO gave the basketball teams another honor supper. Present were the reserve coach and the school secretary. No other teachers, principal, or varsity coach were present. Don’t you think the faculty should have a little respect for the ball boys as well as parents T A concerned parent

A Local Teenager's View (By Janet Staub) Crocuses are croaking, and pussy willows are pussing as we enter the season of Spring. Little yellow and purple patches can be seen as the small crocus makes its annual appearance. Fluffy white catkins can be found on the branches of pusy willow trees. The big green leaves of violets are pushing their way toward sunshine. Greenery of tulips and daffodils are making the damp earth colorful. Flowers aren't only to look at, they protect hillsides from washing away during rain storms. Flowers also purify the air we breathe. (Poor things!) Among all of the budding flowers are the blooming Jaycees. They are starting to bud the annual Teen-age Safe Driving Road-e-o. Word has it that Greencastle and all of the county high school students will have an opportunity in April to take the written test. May 20 is the date set for the actual driving part of it Winners will then go to Michigan City for state competition. The national contest will be held in Ann Arbor, Michigan. New this year, to the road-e-o, la a separate division for girls. BY THE WAY: Happy Easter!

--City Dump A bill was introduced in the last General Assembly to outlaw open pit dumps such as Greencastle uses but it was defeated. Popular in some communities are dumps operated on the private enterprise system. An individual operates the site and all users including municipalities are charged for the use. Jewel Blue, County Sanitarian, feels the best solution to the problem would be for the county to assume all responsibility for the dumps in the county, and he proposes the the land-fill type of dump. Presently, Blue is conducting a survey of all waste sites in the county and will present his findings to the State Board of Health for their recommendations. The current condition started last August 31 when Russell Foxx informed the City that his land Was no longer available for their use. The city had used his land for 23 years free of charge. The reason stated by Foxx was that the city didn’t honor the agreement to keep the debris pushed back and properly maintained. Then the city contracted Norman Eggers to maintain a site, but this fell through, due to various complaints, and the proposed site was located in the wrong zoning district. After Foxx was offered $300 a month and the City agreed to keep an employe there to maintain the site, Foxx consented. Also, the city must keep the debris pushed back. Indiana Traffic Dead Now 229 By United Press International Indiana’s 1967 traffic fatality toll stood today at 229, compared with 300 a year ago. Robert Dyer, 18, Martinsville, died Wednesday in Robert Long Hospital, Indianapolis, from injuries suffered Friday in a three-car crash near Bloomington. Jacob Klein, Jr., 46, Mishawaka, was killed Wednesday when he drove his car onto the Grand Trunk Western Railroad tracks in Mishawaka and was hit by a passenger train. Witnesses said the crossing signal lights were flashing. At Indianapolis, an autopsy indicated the death of Donford R. Alverson, 52, Muncie, was due to complications from injuries suffered in a traffic accident at Muncie more than three years ago. A cornoner’s report blamed the injuries in February, 1964, for Alverson’s death in Robert Long Hospital where he had been a patient the past two months. He was crushed between two cars in a Muncie alley.

In Memory In loving memory of our father, Charles David Higgins, who passed away one year ago, March 23, 1966. Sadly missed by the family and grandchildren.

» a f* Popular legend of “Wild Bill’' Hick* 10-L ok had its inception in 1867, after Hickok’s appointment as a deputy Marshal at Fort Riley, Kansas. He was 30 years old then, an Illinois farmer’s son who had wandered westward in the 1850s. He was involved insignificantly in the bloody struggle between abolitionists and anti-slavery partisans in Kansas and Nebraska. A standard modem cyclopedia assert* Hickok “fought the McCanles gang at Rock Creek Station, Neb, Wiling McCanles and two of the gang, 1861; stage-driver on Santa Fe Trail, later on the Oregon Trail, served as scout and spy for U.S. Army during Civil I fe iiii

war," which is misinformation. Ramon 7. Adams concluded In Six Guns and Saddle Leather (Univ. of Oklahoma Press), a searching examination of Western outlaws and gunmen legends, “I know of no more striking example of false history from generation to generation than the account of Wild Bill Hickok’s fight with the McCanles faction. This spurious report was stated by George Ward Nichols in Harper’s Magazine for February 1867. Purported to be an interview with Wild Bill himself, it ha* been proven highly imaginary and exaggerated sensationalism, pure fabrication throughout Nevertheless, most of the subsequent books on Wild Bill rehashed this legend, and Wild Bill himself made the story credible by not

denying it”

Hickok exploited the false reputation appropriately in a stage tour of the East, 18724, with “Buffalo Bill” Cody, who similarly owed renown to fictitious writeups and subsequent dime novels. Hickok quit the Shew unhappily in 1874 because, Cody said. Wild Bill suffered from stage fright There is testimony Hickok suffered another kind of fright back West ▲ centem-1 porary, Che Indian scout Bill Hooker, related that in Cheyenne, “A sawed off buckeroo dared Hickok to go from the Gold Room, and shoot it out Hickok refused, saying his eyesight had failed him." Not long afterward, he was killed in another dance hall and gambling den, at Deadwook, S. Dak. CLARK K1NNAIRD

HONGKONG UPI — An angry mob of pro-Mao Tset u n g demonstrators besieged the governor of Fukien Province and Communist Chinese army troops had to smash their way through the crowd to rescue him, a rightwing Hong Kong newspaper reported to-

day.

The New Life Evening Post quoted recently arrived travelers from Foochow as saying thousands of angry Chinese stormed governor Wei ChinSui’s official residence accusing him of being a "political pickpocket.” It took Foochow garrison soldiers three hours to disperse the mob and move Wei to safety, the travelers said.

Club Holds Meeting At Barker Hotel The March meeting of Town and Country Home Demonstration Club was held at the Barker Hotel with Dorothy Lawler the hostess and Martha Baroff her assistant. The “early bird” gift went to Marjorie Gilliand and was a beautiful floral arrangement. Clema Perkins was last to appear and wore a No. 36 Green Paris creation made 10 inches above the knee and made of paper. Edith Fry, Dorothy Lawler, and Madonna Barker had to wear green “unmentionables” as their punishment for not wearing green. Betty Burdette then opened the meeting with the song of the month and pledges to the flags. Reports were given from various committees. Mary Holland reported on the trip to Holland, Mich., and It was decided not to go. Barbara Brookshire informed the club that some material has been purchased and garments are started for 4-H projects. Priscilla Brown was In charge of the "Lessons for Next Year” and there were mixed feelings conerning them. Jim Knott of Parke County REMC has been invited for next month’s meeting at Deloris Risk’s. Meeting closed with club prayer and refreshments.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Ai program that provides for gov-ernment-insured loans to rural electric co-ops to finance necessary system strengthening was supported here by an Indiana utility president today. Carroll H. Blanchar, president of Public Service Indiana, testifying before the House Agriculture Committee, said coops have a legitimate continuing need for capital to provide facilities to adequately serve their users. He lent support to legislation that would permit most co-ops to make government-guaranteed loans from private lending institutions at reasonable rates. Proposed legislation would also make 2% financing by the Rural Electrification Administration available to those few co-ops not In a position to pay the current cost of money. Blanchar spoke in opposition to House Bill 1400 and other bills that would set up a Federal electric bank with what amounts to a $750 million interest free Treasury loan. Such a plan is not needed, he said. It would enable some coops to expand and extend their operations in non-rural areas and provide capital at subsidized interest rates for unnecessary and duplicating generation and transmission systems. In Indiana, Blanchar said, all 42 rural electric co-ops are in strong financial condition and could readily finance needed expansion of facilities without further subsidization.

This group of co-ops had £n equity position in excess of 60%, substantially higher than the 50% equity considered healthy in the utility industry. .*
