Hie Pageant of doverdale— Gout. Scene of the First Train “Bustle and excitement as the typical crowd gathers. Families greet each other, boys dart through the crowd.

The crowd falls back and the engine slowly comes into view. One woman so excited she backs and falls into a basket of eggs. A couple of travelers alight with their carpet bags and are greeted." “The first mail was carried on horseback from Bloomington to Lafayette, stopping at each town along the route.

both having friends. Families even were divided. Tempers ran high and the cry of Butternut started many a fight . . One even ending in murder." Supposedly a Street Scene “A group of men on one side are standing around apparently passing the time of day. A young woman walking along under her parasol, smiles brightly. A little girl rolls her hoop along. An ox cart carrying merchandise draws up and the ladies of the town gathered to buy spools of thread, material and such. It is a peddler from Indianapolis.

Foreign News Commentary By LEON DANIEL SEOUL UPI — The United States has 55,200 troops in Korea, a commitment some say it can ill afford in view of the escalating war in Vietnam. The reasons for the U. S. presence here are both military and political. The government of the Republic of Korea (ROK) vigorously opposes any withdrawal of U. S. troops, arguing that 45,000 Korean troops are fighting alongside Americans in Vietnam. Of the two U. S. infantry divisions here, only one mans the Demilitarized Zone. The other has been in reserve for 14 years, training and waiting for resumption of the war which has not come. It is a lonely role, some say a useless one. ROK officials say the goal of the North Korean Communists is to take over South Korea “when the decisive moment comes” and they claim any reduction of U. S. strength here would hasten that moment Also, they say, a reduction of U. S. forces would threaten this booming nation’s political stability and discourage foreign investment There is practically no sentiment here for pulling two ROK army divisions and one ROK marine brigade out of Vietnam. Koreans, to a man, are proud of the excellent combat record their troops have achieved in Vietnam. And ROK government officials consider the combat experience their troops are gaining invaluable preparation for a possible resumption of hostilities with North Korea. The United States Is picking up the tab for the Korean military effort in Vietnam. This is the basis of the Communist charge that Korean troops are “mercenaries.” The Koreans don’t see it that way. They figure they are repaying with their blood a debt incurred when 33,629 Americans died during the Korean war. The Vietnam war has boosted the Korean economy somewhat but a recognition of a mutual debt by the United States and South Korea appears to be very real.
