OLD LANDMARK TORN DOWN—Ruark Bridge, one of Putnam County's oldest landmarks, is being torn down. Ralph Spencer, County Highway Superintendent said today that the county commissioners had made the decision last fall, but actual demolition started recently. Spencer said that the commissioners made the decision because the old bridge had become a new fire hazard and rather than have it catch fire and cause possible damage to the new $189,000 bridge about twenty

feet north, they were going to have it tom down. Spencer also said that the commissioners had earlier decided to let the bridge stand if the Putnam County Historical Society would have it fire-proofed and maintain it, but the fire-proofing wasn’t done so now the bridge must come down. It is located about four miles southwest of Greencastle on the W 7 est Walnut Street Road. What is left is pictured above.

Study State school bus safety proposals

The superintendent noted that there are only 516 state police to cover Indiana which he said was "unfair to the state police to have the only responsibility in this area.” “By combining the 765 conuty sheriffs and deputies with the 4,598 city police,” Wells said, “the grand total of law enforcement officers responsible for school bus traffic enforcement will be greatly expanded.”

Reservists reporting for active duty By RON YOUNGBLOOD United Pr*n International In thousands of American homes today it was, “Kiss daddy goodbye, honey.” Housewives and mothers, aware this day might come but hoping fervently it wouldn’t, said goodbye to their men. President Johnson has called 14,787 Air National Guard and Navy reserve airmen to duty. The husbands and fathers had only A few hours to see to their families before they had to rush off to their bases and join their outfits. Many were on active duty Thursday night. The rest had to report Friday or b\ early today. The reservists, most of them proud to be “weekend warriors,” were prepared, as fighting men, but unprepared as husbands and fathers. The callup, the largest since the Berlin crisis of 1961. caught many with bills unpaid, plans unrealized, and, in one case, a wedding that may or may not take place. Sgt. Edward Kruk, 22, North Tonawanda, N.Y., plans to marry Mary Ann La Duca, 21, a week from today. Yesterday he was at the Niagara Falls Air Force Base with his outfit, the 107th Tactical Fighter Group. “I called her as soon as I found out,” Kruk said. “We’re going to go ahead as planned. If I’m here, that is, we’re going to go ahead.” Reaction to the news ranged from the unprintable to the philosophical. The men mostly accepted it a.-: part of a job they had bargained for. Their women mostly were resigned. “I guess I asked for it.” said Lt. Nelson Ferguson, 30, Playa Del Rey, Calif. “I was in the Navy eight years and I missed flying.” Lt. Richard S. Scalt, Bridgeport, Conn., a lawyer, was resigned apparently to the disruption in his life. “If I had a job it wouldn’t be so bad. But I’m a lawyer in private practice and it will mean coming back and picking up the pieces.” Petty Officer Allan Foxx of New York City, a single man working in advertising, was a bit bitter. “I was expect ing a promotion shortly and this is going to set me back.

Branigin to meet LBJ February 28 INDIANAPOLIS UPI —Governor Branigin’s twice-delayed personal visit with President Johnson has been rescheduled for Feb. 28. The governor said the new date wag set in a telephone call from special presidential assistant Marvin W’atson. Topics which Branigin expects to discuss with Johnson did not include the matter of whether the President wants the governor to be a stand-in for him in Indiana’s May 7 presidential preference primary. However, the possibility exists, depending on the situation as the campaign warms, that Johnson may want to meet by proxy the challenge of his critics who may make a bid for Indiana’g first-ballot national cenvention votes. Backers of Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy, D-Minn., have said he may enter the Indiana primary, or that Sen. Vance Hartke, D-Ind., may run as a “favortie son.” Former Alabama Gov. George Wallace has said he will not enter the primary but will be an independent party candidate in the fall election. Topics Branigin mentioned for the luncheon meeting at the White House with the President included civil disorders, highway funds, water pollution and the Great Lakes. There have been national-state disagreements about use of troops in case of civil disorders and concern about possible highway cutbacks. In addition, there are interstate and national implications in the state’s small share of the Lake Michigan shoreline. Branigin originally was invited to visit the President during the Christmag holiday season, but Johnson’s trip to Vietnam, Australia and the Vatican interfered. Another date was discussed after the President’s return but it came at the time Branigin was meeting with legislative leaders in a futile effort to achieve congressional redistricting through a special session. The new date is one day before the national governors’ conference in Washington. Branigin said he hopes to go to Washington possibly the weekend of Feb. 24-25 so he can meet with several federal officials concerned with state matters.

Two award-winning short films by internationally-acclaimed film maker Norman McLaren are among 19 that will be shown at DePauw University Jan. 29-30. Two evenings with McLaren’s short films are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. in the University Art Center at College and Dollar Days slated by local merchants Ever popular Dollar Days are scheduled next weekend in Greencastle for local and Putnam County shoppers.

The merchants will have the bargains ready on a first come, first serve basis during all three days.

“Farm Bureau Is Moving Ahead With Confidence” was the theme of the program presented to Putnam County Farm Bureau membership workers at their kick-off meeting held Monday evening at the Fairway Restaurant. Don Pierson, regional fieldman, presented the program and stated that Farm Bureau is concerned about fanners’ bargaining power; farmers’ interest in local government; farmers’ property taxes, and farmers’ net income. He said the Farm Bureau will continue to be the voice of organized agriculture. Gene Clodfelter, membership drive chairman, announced the county goal had q si 1*647 members. Inst.rue*

INDIANAPOLIS UPI —State School Supt. Richard D. Wells and his staff are studjing 10 recommendations for school bus safety presented during a state-wide meeting Thursday with representatives of city, county and state police. ■Wells said the exploratory session, which attracted about 50 persons, was called because of an increasing number of traffic accidents involving school buses.

Simpson streets. Both programs, being presented under the auspices of the Art Department, are open without charge to the general public. The international film world has honored McLaren’s work with more awards than it has given any other film maker, 66 in the past 15 years alone. Three of these to be shown captured major prizes. “Begone Dull Care,” a six-minute color film, won first prize In its category at Venice; “Neighbours” won • Hollywood Academy “Oscar” in 1952, and “Blinkity Blank” in 1955 won the Grand Prize at Cannes. “Dull Care” and “Blinkity Blank” are among 10 films that will be shown Monday night. “Neighbours” and eight other films will be presented Tuesday. McLaren, who is a member of the National Film Board, has been variously characterized in the press as “the man who has revoluntionized modem animation,” “a master of both the abstract and animated film,” and " a genius that no technical revelation can satisfy.” According to Me Laren’s throngs of reviewers, few of the 45 films he has made last longer than five minutes, “but they flash across the screen like revelations to awe the specialists with their technique, inventiveness, freedom, poetry, humour, and humanity.” His films that have most fascinated the critics are his hand-made abstract and phantasy movies which most closely resemble moving painting and are the most Individual expression of his art.

tions were given regarding the drive and a report meeting will be held February 8 at the Countryside Inn. Organized townships reaching their goals and individual workers will receive awards at the report supper. Workers present for the meeting were Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Price. Mr. and Mrs. William Rowings, Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Fordice, Mr. and Mrs. Embert Gardner, Mr. and Mrs. Gene Clodfelter, Mr. and Mrs. Morria Evens, Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Hillis, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Earley, Mr. and Mrs. Noble C. Fry, Thelma Johns, M&urine Aker, Leonard Hayes and Don Pierson. Other workers not present were Raymond Ader and Dale Sandman.

The school chief noted that some of the recommendations offered by local police officers would require legislation, while others, including a mid-year bus inspection, were already considered or planned. Wells said his Department of Public Instruction already had made plans to conduct a midyear school bus safety inspection, similar to one made each fall on all school buses in the state. He said the winter inspection was deemed necessary after a random check of 25 buses showed 22 of them could not meet the inspection which they passed last fall. Another recommendation called for a flashing yellow, white or blue light atop a school bus when carrying pupils. Police also suggested that local school officials consult local police when planning school bus routes. One recommendation related to driver education cars, calling for all such train-

DePauw University’s Department of German and Russian will be headed by a 51-year-old Michigan educator, Dr. Cornelius van Zwoll, according to an announcement made by President William E. Kerstetter. Dr. van Zwoll will succeed Dr. G. H. “Doc” Grueninger who is retiring this year after 38 years on the DePauw faculty, 14 as head of the department. Dr. van Zwoll has spent the past four years at Alma College and has served as department head at the Michigan school during the past two years. Calvin College awarded Dr. van Zwoll the A.B. degree in 1938. He earned subsequent degrees at the University of Michigan and at Michigan State University which awarded him the Ph.D. in German language and literature in 1965. Prior to his current assignment at Alma, Dr. van Zwoll taught at the college level at Carroll College, Calvin, Abion College, and was a Teaching Fellow for two years on a German Studies Award at Cornell University. He served for one year as an assistant instructor at Michigan State while working on the PhD. Dr. van Zwoll also has taught and performed administrative duties at the secondary level, primarily in the East. He was an instructor in German and Latin at Eastern Academy in Paterson, N. J. He later served as an instructor of modem languages and as principal at Eastern Christian High School in Paterson. During World War II van Zwoll served in the U.S. Army in China, Burma and India. He later was employed by the National Security Agency as a cryptolinguist.

ing vehicles to be equipped with dual braking systems that work on all four wheels. Some training cars now employ braking systems in which one unit is connected to two wheels and the other to the other two wheels, Wells said. Wells also announced that his department would conduct winter safety session for new school bus drivers, similar to one conducted each fall. He said drivers who attended such meetings last fall would not be required to attend one this winter. Statistics provided by Wells showed school bus accidents rose sharply in the past six years. He said in 1960, school buses were involved in 195 accidents. In the 1966 school year, he said, school buses were in 467 accidents. Wells said he hoped Thursday’s meeting would break the tradition to leaving school bus law enforcement exclusively with state police.

Local Republicans will hear Nixon Many Republicans from Putnam County will be going to Washington—Daviess County, that is—to hear the speech by former Vice President Richard M. Nixon on Saturday, February 10, Putnam County GOP Chairman Robert Poor said today. Poor said the event, a state-wide fundraising affair by Indiana Republicans, will be a “Salute to Lincoln," in recognition of Abraham Lincoln’s Hoosier boyhood. He said it also will launch “Operation Grass Roots,” a program devised by state GOP leaders to raise money and give people in all comers of Indiana the opportunity to hear speakers of national prominence during the 1968 election campaigns. Nixon s speech will begin at 8 p.m. in the spacious, new gymnasium of the Washington Community Schools, and will be preceded by a reception, set for 6:30 p.m. in the high school cafeteria. Poor stated that Nixon’s appearance in Indiana should add more impetus to the OOP’s most recent rejuvenation, which began two years ago, and that tickets to the event may be purchased from Keith Monnett or himself.

Pleads not guilty When arraigned in the Putnam Circuitcuit Court Friday, Kenneth Morlan, 39, city, pleaded not guilty to the deceptive issuance of a check. Morlan was charged with giving LeRoy Moore a check for $20 last November 4. Judge Francis N. Hamilton set Morlan’s trial for 9 a.m. on February 23. Promising to give a hand writing sample to the propeer authorities, he was released on his own recognizance pending trial.

accordance with guidelines issued by the Rt. Rev. John Craine, Episcopal Bishop of Indianapolis. No official changes have been made in the Episcopal Communion service since 1929. The New Liturgy was authorized for trial use at the General Convention of the Church last fall. The goal of trial use is to allow congregations throughout the nation to study and express opinions about the new service before its official adoption. In this process of tudy and reaction, it is hoped that the Liturgy may truly become the work of the People of God rather than something imposed liom the top down by church officials.
