This is a repeat of the February news which was lost. The gavel fell Saturday evening, February 10th as Charles Skelton called his first meeting to order. It was decided to put more stone on the driveway and to sand the area. I think everyone is looking forward to the show season. A new idea for this summer was presented by Norman Shelley from the Golden Spur Saddle Club. A club appointed team would play against members from another club and total time or points would determine the winning team. This would be a very nice way to meet other people who like horses and riding. Our meeting was very well attended for February with approximately sixty members and guests who formed a very int-

eresting audience as Dr. R. C. Herschler, a Zionsville veterinarian, presented slides of a very badly injured mare. He told of the methods of treatment and the problems in caring for cases

of this kind.

Unable to find specialists for animals, he went to a plastic surgeon and a radiologist for aid in finding new methods of treating fractures and unsuturable wounds. It is good to know that such progress in equine care is being made. Of course before long the discussion turned to problems of worming, vaccinations, and routine care. Everyone joined in the talk at this time and maybe some problems were solved. The talk centered around Dr. Herschler all evening and we would like to thank him for tak-

Try and Stop Me

-By BENNETT CERF-

nPHIS STORY concerns a very, very rich man who built -i- his own private nine-hole golf course. His wife played a round with a hired pro one morning recently and persuaded her husband to follow her in his electric golf cart. With him rode f a professional gambler, . Q * who inveigled his host into a coin-matching game for high stakes while they bumped over the course, pausing every time the wife took a swing at her ball. On the sixth hole the wife lost her ball in the rough. By the time she found it, her husband had lost his golf course. • * • A hungry stranger once wangled a table at Toots Shoe’s exclusive saloon and ordered four cocktails, a bowl of soup, two thick slabs of roast beef, a baked potato, three bottles of beer, and two slices of apple pie a la mode. Toots tapped him lightly on the shoulder and asked, "What time are you being electrocuted?” • • * "The most impartial man I ever met,” Bugs Baer would have you know, "was Charles Evans Hughes. In fact, he was so impartial that he even parted his beard down the middle.”

ing time from his busy schedule to join us and we hope that he will come again. Last year’s reporter, Janet Oliver, established a meet-the-members portion of this column. I am continuing this with her permission so this month let us meet the Jack Oliver family. Jack and Janet and their two little daughters, Janice and Jamie, live west of Fincastle where they have a large dairy farm. They milk nearly 70 cows in addition to farming their land. Janet and Jack have been active in the club for several years and sponsor a ride each summer. They have added a beautiful lake this year so we will have to pick out a warm day for our ride and top it off with a cooling swim. Also seen around Ramp Creek Farm are palomino and sorrel horses, a dark pony, and a mule named Kate. Kate has taken many novice riders and taught them to be good horsemen. See you there this summer, you are sure to get a warm welcome. We have met some old friends now let’s say “Hi” to a new family in our club, the Neher’s. Terry is a refrigeration fitter and works in Indianapolis. Linda is a part-time student studying to get her degree in elementary teaching, one of the prettiest teachers I’ve ever seen. Their son, Jeff, goes to school at Danville, but like all boys would rather be out roaming the hills and riding the horses. Terry and Linda have two horses now and Jeff has two ponys so I’m sure we will see them at our rides and shows this year. We are sorry about the fire at the Banner office but wish to congratulate them on keeping up to date with their paper. Hope you will be home at Greencastle soon. I have the March news nearly completed so look for it soon. Until then keep smiling and happy

riding.

Will enter Republican Primary

By HORTENSE MYERS INDIANAPOLIS (U P I) — Mayor Wallace J. S. Johnson of Berkeley, Calif., stood in the cold wind on the steps of the Indiana Statehouse today and said he is preparing to enter the state’s Republican presidential preference primary May 7 against Richard Nixon. Johnson said “the whole pat. tern of politics has changed because of the Vietnam War.” He said that if it were not for a Jan. 29 national broadcast by Walter Cronkite, he would be back in California handling municipal affairs. But the broadcast, which detailed a four-point program for ending the war in Vietnam which Johnson calls his “Golden Eagle” plan, caught the attention of some unhappy Republicans who wanted an alternative to Nixon. Rockefeller Group Helps One of Johnson’s assistants is George Walton, 26, a Louisville, Ky., law student who already had put together a college-ori-entated organization intended

for the support of New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller. Walton said that since Rockefeller decided not to enter the Indiana primary, his group felt Johnson would be a good choice to present as an alternative to Nixon. Johnson said Indiana was the only primary he was planning to enter and conceded the time for getting 500 certified signatures from each of Indiana’s 11 congressional districts was extremely short—the deadline is Thursday—but that an organization of Hoosier volunteers already was at work getting them. He said most of the volunteers were “housewives and college students.” Cronkite was quoted as saying “Mayor Johnson is no crackpot. He is a suecessful industrialist who eight years ago entered politics because he believed some things needed doing in his community. In recent years he has become increasingly alarmed over Viet-

nam and because he is deeply interested and can back his interest with money and time, has traveled to Vietnam as a private citizen to pursue his inquiry.” Outlines Vietnam Plan Johnson said his plan calls for a conference including only North and South Vietnam, CamJodia, Laos and Thailand, with he United States, China and he Soviet Union all excluded, •xcept to promise a cease-fire he day the conference started, if the conference failed, the war would resume. If it sueceeded the U.S. would be obligated to offer loans for a rebuilding. Johnson paused on the Statehouse steps briefly on his way to a noon speech before Young Republicans at Purdue Univer. sity and an evening address in Des Moines, Iowa. As he left, he said that if the volunteers are successful in getting his name in the Indiana primary he will spend the next five weeks in the state.

On the lighter side

By DICK WEST WASHINGTON (UPI)—Maicolm Muggeridge, former editor of the British humor magazine Punch, observed in i speech here last week that these are perilous times for humorists. “Your wildest inventions prove to be exceeded by the originals,” Muggeridge lamented. He is so right. Columnist Art Buchwald recently wrote a funny satire about the White House denying that President Johnson was stuck in an elevator in the Pentagon. Such a denial actually happened once. Several years ago, when

Johnson was Senate Democratic build ski mountains. Only to leader, he got stuck in an learn that such a project elevator in the Capitol. A UPI already was underway.

Real events have topped my own wild inventions more times than I can count. I ONCE JESTINGLY RECOMMENDED THAT SOMEBODY BRING OUT A HAIR CREAM CALLED “Greasy Kid Stuff.” It turned out such a product had already been introduced. I made a facetious proposal that the trash disposal problem be solved by using garbage to

It’s maddening, I tell you. Try putting your tongue in your cheek nowadays and you wind up biting it. At the moment I am suffering over a column I wrote a few days ago about a lady who cleaned out her medicine cabinet and dumped the leftover pills and stuff on her geranium

plants.

She claimed one of the geraniums reesponded favorable to antihistimines. Which was downright ridiculous, and I treated it accordingly. I was still chuckling over it a few days later when I picked up a press release from the Agriculture Department. The second my eyes hit the caption I turned deathly pale. “Drugs for human pneumonia are effective on plant disease,”

it said.

The department went on to relate that several antibiotics commonly used to treat pneumonia had been found to be a cure for a vegetable disease known as “aster yellows.” This is the last straw. I am so shook up I don’t even have the nerve to suggest that doctors will soon be making house calls on ailing tomato vines. If I did, I know what would happen next. I would come down with a severe case of aster yellows.

Time dilemma to get mayors attention

YES, KENNEDY’S ATTRACTING THE YOUNG—This look at Robert Kennedy’s busy presidential campaign headquarters in Washington bears out what already is well known— he is attracting the young. Especially the tender young.

INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — AH 113 Indiana mayors have been invited to a meeting April 3 in the Statehouse to plan a lastditch solution to the state’s time problem. The meeting was the outgrowth of a request from the North Central Conference of Mayors held in Marion Thursday. The 20 mayors attending that session voted unanimously to urge Mayor Othmar Frye of Washington, president of the Indiana Association of Cities and By the Light . . . WASHINGTON (UPI)—Just under five per cent of all the employed — 3.6 million—now hold down more than one job. The Bureau of Labor Statistics, in a study of moonlighters, found the typical one was a young married man with children. He has one regular job and works about 13 hours a week at something else.

Towns, to call a statewide time conference. Ivan Brinegar, executive director of IACT, said today the session was arranged in accordance with the request and invitations to the mayors have been put in the mail. “I believe what we will try to do is prevail upon the Department of Transportation to hold in abeyance the enforcement of action until the statute can be more palatable for states such as Indiana with more than one time zone,” Brinegar said. Indiana’s 92 counties would be split this summer between Eastern and Central daylight times in accordance with the Uniform Time Act of 1966. In past years, the state has managed to be on the same time throughout the April-October period by the process of those counties which observe Eastern time remaining on standard, instead of advancing to daylight.
