THE TRUCK DRIVER

Most of the conveniences -- good fresh food and the necessities of life are taken as an every day occurrence to most of us. We are used to having it that way, but did it ever occur to you that nearly everything we have as an added con-

venience has to be brought from another city or from the fanner or some manufacturer hundreds of miles away. There was a day when all of these wonderful things we take for granted were not available. Today they are and there is a wonderful group of men who make it possible. They are the truck drivers of America, who are working day and night to make all of this possible. They are traveling, sometimes all night long, when we sleep. He is needed today and should be classified as an “UNSUNG HERO.”

(UPI)—Two prisoners bolted from the Montgomery County Jail Sunday night after overpowering the sheriff and turnkey. Authorities identified the escapees as Fred Jones, 26, Crawfordsville, and Ira R. Chandler, 33, Columbus. Jones was being held on a theft charge and Chandler on forgery and robbery charges. Sheriff Clarence Demorate said he and turnkey Kit Carson opened a cell door to release another prisoner and were jumped by the two escapees. Demorate suffered a broken finger and Carson had cuts on the face from a scuffle.

Battle Of Big Walnut (Reprint from the Indianapolis Star) Big Walnut Valley is a tract of rare wilderness more than 1,000 acres in expanse west of Greencastle. It contains Canadian Yew and Eastern Hemlock unique to Indiana and giant sugar maple and sassafras trees that are irreplaceable. It is rich in other plantlife and in wildlife. Biologists have called it a "living library of nature.” The valley contains deep gorges and canyons cut over the time of many centuries by waters that began flowing millenia ago when the great ice sheet that once covered part of what is now Indiana began to retreat at the end of the Glacial Era. Big Walnut Valley is threatened with destruction. The Army Corps of Engineers plans to dam the stream and turn the valley into a big reservoir. The purpose would be dual: flood control in the Wabash Basin and a future water supply for Indianapolis. Flood control and an adequate future water supply for Indianapolis are both necessities. No one is going to argue against their desirability. But the huge Mud Creek Reservoir planned by the Indianapolis Water Company plus Geist and Morse reservoirs should supply all the water Indianapolis will need in the foreseeable future. As for flood control, there are alternatives which would make the dooming of Big Walnut Valley unnecessary«, The crucial point in the Big Walnut proposal is the water level. If the level is kept to a specific maximum the unique features of the valley can be spared. If it is not, they will not. The Army Corps of Engineers has not offered any compromise on the issue of the water level. A campaign to save the valley is being waged by the Indiana Division of the Izaak Walton League with about 5,500 members, the Indiana Conservation Council with 12,000 members, the Indiana Audubon Society, the Indiana Covered Bridge Society and other conservation and nature groups. Leaders of these organizations seek to have the valley designated a natural landmark by the National Registry of National Landmarks. A report on the issue will be made to the Registry’s advisory committee, under Interior Secretary Stewart Udall, during its three-day meeting which starts April 16. A decision by the board recommending the valley’s inclusion as a national landmark would not affect directly construction of the reservoir, or ownership of the land. Owners would be invited to register their holdings voluntarily and a bronze plaque would be erected in the area pointing out its significance. This would help the campaign to save the valley. We urge the board to make a favorable decision. Congressmen E. Ross Adair, J. Edward Roush and Ray Madden already are supporting the drive. We ask the other members of the Indiana congressional delegation to do what they can to help. This generation of Hoosiers should preserve what nature has taken thousands of years to create and leave it unspoiled for generations yet to come.

Hanoi threatened LONDON (UPI)—Communist China has threatened to withdraw support from Hanoi if it negotiates with the United States for a compromise Vietnam settlement, diplomatic reports said today. Peking is putting heavy pressure on the regime of North Vietnamese President Ho Chi Minh to continue the fight against America “to the bitter end.” It insists victory is near for the Communists. Withdrawal of Peking support would involve the cutting off of economic and military aid to the Hanoi regime, the reports said. Communist China also was said to have made it clear to Hanoi that she will boycott any peace conference such as the proposed recall of the Geneva conference of which Red China was a full member in 1954. Peking has attacked President Johnson’s peace offer as a fraud and warned Hanoi against accepting it. Apparently hopeful to swing its decision in the last moment against talks. Moscow, after five days of official silence, came out in support of Hanoi’s announcement of willingness to send representatives to meet Americans for a peace probe.

Racial peace sought by rights advocates

By LARRY D. HATFIELD WASHINGTON (UPI)- Bitterly shaken by the murder of Martin Luther King and the unparalleled wave of violence that followed, President Johnson and civil rights advocates in Congress move this week in a headlong attempt to restore racial peace to the nation. Johnson, propelled by the fiery violence which hit more than a score of cities, was expected to go before an emergency joint session of Congress to lay out a broad new federal attack on ghetto problems. ?n his address, which was originally scheduled tonight but was postponed to avoid conflicting with King’s funeral Tuesday, Johnson was expected to ask for a wide range of new programs, including several proposed by the national antiriot commission six weeks ago. Congress, meanwhile, was being pressed to a vote on a civil rights bill which contains a tough— and controversial— open housing provision. Urges Quick Passage Spurred on by the President, House managers of the Senatepassed bill called for passage by Wednesday as a memorial to King. Johnson wrote Speaker John W. McCormack during the weekend that passage of the civil rights bill was crucial “at the earliest possible moment.”

The violence that shook the nation and required a powerful show of military force right in the capital left many lawmakers uncertain as to which way they should vote. The chief block to the bill was the open housing portion, which would open the sale or rental ol 80 per cent of the nation’s homes and apartments tc Negroes and others by 1970. Anti-Riot Regulations The bill also outlaws intimidation of civil rights workers and the use of interstate facilities, such as telephones and buses, to incite rioting. The weekend’s violence alsc may have elevated the report ol the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders to a more favored status. There were indications Johnson, in his special message to the Congress, would recommend a multi-billion dollar program embracing many of the commission’s recommendations. The riot commission, headed by Gov. Otto Kerner of Illinois, called for a variety of programs, including a welfare system designed to guarantee every family a certain level of annual income; 6 million new housing units over the next five years; hiring of 1 million new public service workers; preschool programs for ghetto children, and a federally financed training program for the hardcore unemployed.

BELIEF IN GOD IS NOT ENOUGH!

About the nearest thing to sarcasm in the Bible is the following statement aimed at those who think believing in God makes them Christians. “Tiou believest there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe and tremble” (James 2:19). You think belief in God is enough? The devils do better than that. They not only believe in Him but they fear Him. THEY could better claim to be Christians than the people who say they believe in God but show no reverence or love or concern for Him. NO! Belief in God is not enough. To be a Christian you must acknowledge Christ as your Lord and Master, intending to obey Him in your daily life. See you in church this Sunday? Grace Baptist Church Rev. Gene Quick 0L 3-6927

DEAR HELOISE: Here’s an unusual use for that wonderful nylon net for the gals who wear pierced earrings: Take an embroidery hoop and put two thicknesses of nylon net between the hoops (as though you were going to embroider), trim the net close to the hoop. No holes to make and no fray whatsoever. Just push the earring post through the net and catch it with those hard-to-find ends. (Saves misplacing them, too.) It’s easy to pick the pair you want in a hurry. Use net the color of your bedroom and keep it on your dressing table. Mrs. M. * * * DEAR HELOISE: I’ve just found the most wonderful way to store leftovers so I don’t forget they’re in the refrigerator! You know’ those little opaque plastic cartons they sell cottage cheese in? !v | Library news | •x The Greencastle - Putnam County Public Library has just received the Newbery andCaldecotto award children’s books. The Newbery award is “From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler,” byE.L. Konigsburg. This is the story of two children, Claudia and Jamie, who decide to run away from home to escape the monotony of life. They chose the Metropolitan Museum of Art as their hideout. By pooling their money and clever management they were able to live there undetected for a week. Before their adventure ends they ferret out the evidence to identify a museum statue and find a good friend in Mrs. Basil Frankweiler. This is a captivating story with enough adventure and mystery to hold the young reader’s interest. The Caldecott award book is “Drummer Hoff,” adapted by Barbara Emberley and illustrated by Ed Emberley. The author has adapted a folk verse about the building of a cannon. In a cumulative pattern the gaily colored pictures and the verses tell how “Private Parriage brought the carriage, Corporal Farrell brought the barrel,” and so on, with each verse ending, “But Drummer Hoff fired it off.” Rich crimson, blue and gold colors make this a very colorful picture book. These books will be on display at the Greencastle - Public Library until April 13th.

I cut a great big round hole (about as big as the top of a teacup) in the lid so there’s not much left of it except about a one - inch margin around the rim. I put leftover vegetables or what have you in the carton. Then, I cut out a piece of plastic wrap big enough to stretch clear across the top of the container and press the lid down over it. It stretches the plastic w-rap airtight and I can see right through it, just as clear as glass, to see w'hat and how r much is in there. The inch margin is sturdy enough to allow for stacking the cartons. Marian Norby * * * Dear Folks: Please do as I say and not as I did. When sewing jersey or any stretch material, don’t just run it through your sewing machine like you’re sewing on ordinary material. I just made that mistake. W hen you wear the garment, every seam pops loose! I learned—the hard way—to pull the jersey toward me so it will stretch a little while it’s UNDER the needle. Another little thing about Jersey is when you are pressing open the seams, don’t use a silicone ironing board cover! Causes a shine. Lay a hath towel down, then press. The second most important part is do NOT lay a steam iron directly on the material. If you will hold it gently above the material, allowing no pressure whatsoever, you won’t even get a bit shine. Heloise * * * DEAR HELOISE. Instead of baskets for my children at Easter time. I buy toy sand buckets (with shovels), decorate and fill them with grass as usual. The children really love them and they outlast the straw baskets. Mrs. Anna Stakem * * * Great idea, Anna. Heloise * * * DEAR HELOISE: When I make cheese sauce for vegetables such as asparagus or cauliflower, I use some liquid from the vegetable instead of milk. Delicious and nutritious. Saves a little on the milk bill, too, and gives quite a different taste. Amelia Walston * * * DEAR HELOISE: . I make everyday pillowcases from the skirts of discai-ded or outgrown dresses. These pillowcases cost nothing and take only a few minutes to make. Saves us a dollar ever so often. The family likes the bright colors and no one seems to care if they don’t match our sheets.
