Try and Stop Me

'T’HE NEXT TIME you stand in the rain trying vainly to flag a taxicab, let your thoughts drift back to September 30, 1907. That’s the day New Yorkers saw a taxicab in operation for the first time. Twenty - five of them drugged down Fifth Avenue in line and pulled up in front of the new Plaza Hotel, which was celebrating an opening of its own. Nobody realized it at the time, but these taxis marked the beginning of the end for the smelly old hansom cabs. The few still in operation make their last stand at the very spot where the taxi invasion began—opposite the Plaza Hotel! • • • Herb Shriner tells aboet a fanner bringing in a load of hay who drove up to one of those old covered bridges that still dot the New Hampshire landscape. He took one long, despairinglook at the dark tunnel ahead, turned his team of horses around, and retreated, explaining, “I could have gotten in all right, but end." eVer ** ^ 10 3queeze Urougfa that little bole at the ether • • • QUICKIES: “There's one great thing to he said for a college education.** muses Joan Welsh. “It enables you to worry about things all over the world."

The January meeting of the Putnam County Jr. Leaders was scheduled for last Monday evening, but due to the snow storm It had to be cancelled until Tuesday, January 23. The program for the meeting will be the same as was planned for the initial meeting, a study of one’s personality. The meeting will start at 7:30 p.m. at the Fairgrounds. All 4-H members who are eligible to be Jr. Leaders during 1968 are invited to attend. Any 4-H member who will be at least 14 years of age. during 1968. can join. Refreshments and recreation will also be a part of the meeting. On Monday, January 22. I will be meeting with the Jackson township 4-H club to give them a program on the 1967 events. I have a program of slides that were taken during 1967 that I have been showing at various club meetings. During this winter I have been able to visit many of the local 4-H clubs. I hope this can become an annual event to visit all the clubs in the county.
The State Holstein Breeders
. . .. , ... 4-H believes m competition in Association will be meeting at r
the Fairgrounds, at Greencastle, on January 23. Ward Robertson, who has been making the arrange ments for this meeting, hopes to have a large turn out of people interested in dairy, particularly Holsteins plus all the Holstein breeders in Indiana Mayor Peabody of Greencastle will be welcoming

These orders can be made by contacting the County Extension Office in the Court House in Greencastle. Quoting from Raymond C. Firestone, who is chairman and chief-executive officer of the Firestone Tire and Rubber Co.,
Future of air travel is discussed
MILLER SCHOOL PTA PROJECT The Miller School PTA Is making It possible for the boys and girls of Miller School to have access to the school library every morning from 9:00 to 10:30 and every afternoon from 12:30 to 2:00 through a project organized by Mrs. John Mor-
rill.
A number of volunteer helpers are checking books in and out, placing returned books on the shelves, listing overdue books, helping children find materials for special reports and keeping the library orderly. The teachers and children appreciate this service very much. It has increased the number of books being circulated greatly. Since the school librarian is only at Miller on Thursday it was limiting the library’s use to that one day. PTA members assisting in this project in addition to Mrs. Morrill are: Mrs. Joseph Archer, Mrs. Allan Feld. Mrs. Thomas Hardwick, Mrs. Frank Null. Mrs. Joseph Rammel, Mrs. Clem Williams, Mrs. Ray Brush and Mrs. Ora Lady. Members who have agreed to serve as substitutes are: Mrs. John Anderson, Mrs. Fred Huber, Mrs. Paul Bickford, Mrs. Charles Nicholson, Mrs. Ben Hoover. Mrs. Louis Fontaine Mrs. Sherman McKee. Mrs. John Boswell and Mrs. Clarence Wiekert.
“4-H believes in
all rewarding-outstanding accomplishments; it also teaches I that one should accept defeat gracefully and profit by mistakes. No other organization provides a better training ground for Democratic processes or a better appreciation of our free enterprise system.” This quote was given at the National 4-H Club Congress in Chicago, this fall. Mr. Firestone is vice-president of the National
4-H Service Committee. Several of the 4-H members,
who are completing the 4-H Achievement Record books have been quite busy working to get the information together work at a state level. These members have been selected to submit their 4-H Record in the State contest, judging their work at the state level. These members have been coming into the office to get help in ways to complete their Record books. These records will be in competition for state and national awards and hopefully some of them can win a 4-H college
scholarship.
CAGLE TEN AND FOUR HAS JANUARY MEETING The Cagle Ten and Four Home Extension Club held the first meeting of the current year, in the social room of Public Service, with the new officers presiding. The meeting was called to or der by the president, Mrs. Sam sel. After a short business session, the special interest lesson, Mental Health for Adults was very ably given by Mrs. Harold Sutherlin. This lesson had been given for the county, by Rev. Webb, and Mrs. Sutherlin showed by her rendition of it that Rev. Webb had given a very enlightening and interesting lesson. Mrs. Sutherlin touched on the highlights from the pamphlet from Metropolitan Life, titled, “Stress.” This pamphlet is available to any one who will write for it, and is well worth reading. Refreshments were served by the hostess, Mrs. Stallcop and the door prize was won by Mrs. Sutherlin. Ten members were present, which was very good considering the hazardous conditions of the roads. The next meeting is to be held at the home of Mrs. Harold Sutherlin. February 21 at 12:30 p.m. The club would like to thank Public Service for the privilege of meeting in the Social Room.

Eye for an eye
HONG KONG UPI—The Communist anti-British Persecution Struggle Committee today said its “eye for an eye” campaign would be continued until this British crown colony meets its humbling demands.
WASHINGTON UPI — The future of air travel was discussed here this week by the men W’ho hold the key to aviation progress. A meeting of aircraft designers? Don’t be silly. Those guys couldn’t hold the key to the washroom. This was a meeting of the highway research board. Yes. friends, far more than the men who design, build or fly airplanes, far more than Sandra Dee and others who star in the in-flight movies, the future of air travel is In the hands of the roadbuilders. For what doth it profit an airline to possess supersonic jets of staggering dimensions, wondrous capabilities and stereoscopic movie screens if the passengers can’t get to the airport ? Airport Access Critical Speakers at the highway research board’s convention warned that traffic jams aground will severely Impede development aloft unless more and better roads are provided. This problem becomes particularly acute when we consider that because of noise, air pollution and other factors, new
airports must be located awayj from urban centers. The Dulles International Airport, which the Federal Aviation Administration claims is in the Washington area, is a good example. According to the FAA. Dulles is located west of Washington in the neighboring state of Virginia. But people who drive to the airport get the impression it is somewhere in Ohio. It has been my experience that the best way to get to Dulles is to drive to Philadelphia and catch a plane south. As jets become bigger and noisier and step up their smoke output, the trend toward airport remoteness is certain to accelerate. Moving West Within a few years, I expect that New York City’s airports will be located on the outskirts of Chicago, while Chicago’s airports will be found in the vicinity of St. Louis. There is, however, a possible alternative. We can keep the airports within commuting distance of the cities and let the people live somewhere else. As a long-range plan, we
could move all the airports to | airports. It is well that the the eastern half of the United highway research board has States and all the people to the become aviation-minded. The
western half.

Either way, a lot of driving reciprocate and find some way will be required to reach to get rid of potholes. Public relations meeting is held
More than fifty Farm Bureau women from all nine counties with guests of non-Farm Bureau women held a public relations meeting at the Fellowship Hall, First Christian Church. Following a salad luncheon, Eugene Wilson, assistant editor of The Hoosier Farmer and Indiana Farm Bureau Director of Public Relations for Agriculture, spoke to the women discussing “Freedom to do What.” Wilson talked of the freedoms of the minority, freedoms of youth, freedoms of expressions, freedom within the laws, and freedom under government controls. He expressed that agriculture is much concerned about its freedom and government controls effect upon it. Farmers
believe management of farms is an individual right held sacred by the man on the land. Presiding at the meeting w^as Mrs. Glendon Herbert, 5th District Farm Bureau Women’s Leader. Mrs. Embert Gardner led the pledge to the flag and Mrs. Gould Kennedy gave devotions entitled “The New Year.” Mrs. Louise Hallet, Montgomery County, was named winner of the public speaking contest and will represent the district at the state contest during the Farm Bureau Women’s Conference February 14-15.
