Personal and Local I

By GEORGE J. MARDER WASHINGTON (UPI) - The “open housing” civil rights bill President Johnson signed into law Thursday was given its final push toward passage in the House by the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It is doubtful that the bill would have gotten through on its own although a high-powered administration drive was underway to clear the Senate-passed measure. The chances are concessions would have had to be offered to get a bill passed. Just before the assassination, administration leaders did not have the votes to clear the bill out of the House Rules Committee for an “up-or-down” vote on the floor. They had tried once and failed. Headed Toward Compromise The bill was caught in conflicting pressures in the House and seemed to be headed for major compromise before there would be any final vote. What the administration and the civil rights leaders were worried about was that if the bill wasn’t voted up or down, without any chance of amendment, then it would be toned down considerably by the House. Real estate lobbyist were anxious to have all or most private housing sales exempt from the measure. As it is, the bill exempts private housing sold by the owner himself. However, once the owner

advertises the sale, or tries to sell through a real estate agent, the prohibition against racial discrimination would apply. Some top-ranking Republicans were working to obtain an exemption for private homes. If the Senate bill were rejected, they felt they could iron out in conference a bill which more nearly resembled the Housepassed bill of two years ago. Presidential Politics Involved That was the major issue which was blocking House action on the measure. But one thing more became involvedpresidential politics. In the past, it’s been possible to get civil rights bills passed in the House because of an understanding between Republican and Democratic sponsors to keep the politics of civil rights under wraps. It was always there, of course, but it was contained. Funeral Notices Susie Butler Woodward Susie Butler Woodward, 69, Phoenix, Arizona died April 6, 1968 in North Mountain Hospital in Phoenix. Her husband, Jacob E. Woodward preceded her in death several years ago. She was born in Putnam County, Sept. 2, 1898 the daughter of Frank E. Butler and Hattie B. Butler. Survivors are one daughter, Mrs. Grace McFall, Springer, New Mexico; two sons Elmer of Friona, Texas and Frank Elsever of Phoenix, Arizona; grandchildren and great grandchildren; three sisters, Mrs. Alice Shirey, Madison, Tennessee, Mrs, Nellie Harlan and Mrs. Jennie Moore both of Greencastle; one brother, Frank Butler of Connersville.

Real Estate sales strong The Greencastle Real Estate activity was strong in the first quarter of this year according to the figures kept by Ernest H. Collins, President of the Greencastle Federal Savings and Loan Association. According to Mr. Collins, there were forty-one real estate sales totaling $388,771 in the past three months. This exceeds both the first quarter of 1967 and thefirstquarter of 1966. Mortgages recorded were greater than the previous year although not as great as those recorded in 1966. Construction permits for residential and other purposes were beyond each of the previous years. Mr. Collins stated that in looking at the over-all picture for Greencastle the year 1967 had less activity than the year 1966. It is reassuring to see that 1968 is bouncing back and has all the earmarks of exceeding the banner year of 1966. The Greencastle gain is greater than the national average. Mr. Collins stated, “It is hard to predict for the balance of 1968 because of the extreme unrest in the national financial picture. If money should remain that plentiful, there is no reason the balance of the year will no be as strong as has been the first quarter.” Obituary Artie O.

Training program The Greencastle Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses are making plans to attend a three-day training program in Lafayette, April 19-21. Sheldon Hurley, the presiding minister of the group, in discussing this announcement to the congregation, pointed to the challenge to Christian thinking and Christian works in the difficult times we are living in. “The object of the program,” Mr. Hurley said, ”is to strengthen every one of Jehovah’s Witnesses to remain firm in their faith and to be a help in fortifying the spiritual morale of the people in our community.” “We maintain,” he emphasized, "that if a religion is worth believing it is worth putting into practice. For that reason the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, sponsors of the three-day Lafayette refresher program, have set the theme of the assembly as “Strengthening One Another to Remain in the Faith.” “We sincerely hope that the advanced training planned for us there will enable us to live closer to the Bible and its teachings.” The congregation was urged to make plans and preparations to attend this gathering, and extend the invitation to the public.

Lighter side By DICK WEST WASHINGTON (UPI)—This month’s meeting of the Charles de Gaulle Appreciation Society the other member and I sadly concluded that Franco-Americsm relations have taken a turn for the worse. Again. The latest fly in the ointment, or, if you prefer a more appetizing metaphor, cockroach in the souffle, is hominy grits. When I reported last month that a French chef in Chicago had taken this domestic dish and elevated it to gourmet status, little did I dream it would be interpreted as a Gaullist plot. Yet letters of protest have been coming in from gritslovers all across the nation. Strong Reaction “Keep grits free of foreign entanglements!” “Hands off our grits!” “American grits, si; French grits, no!”—these were but a few of the outcries. One irate grits fancier likened the chef, Pierre Orsi, to “the boll weevil or a hoard of locusts come to ravage an American institution.” I never realized before that grits eaters were so emotional. You might think from their reaction that America was on the grits standard and the French were trying to force devaluation. Since the Charles de Gaulle Appreciation Society was founded specifically to deal with situations of this sort, the other member and I moved quickly to try to restore calm. Individual Action First we adopted a resolution pointing out that in creating such recipes as “quenelle de grits” and “grits crepes,” Orsi was acting on his own and not as an agent of the Fifth Republic. Finally, since there seemed to be seemed to be some confusion about the matter, I proposed that the society underwrite a research program to determine the origin of grits and establish whether any country had exclusive claim to them. All the data isn’t in yet, but preliminary findings indicate grits actually were discovered by a Frenchman, Jacques le Gritz, on the site of what is now New Orleans. It further appears that the discovery was made before the Louisiana purchase. I.trust the grits traditionalists will accept this as sufficient evidence to absolve De Gaulle of any charges of tampering.

DEAR HELOISE. I always buy two or more pairs of plain nylon stockings of the same color. That way I have a mate left when one of them gets a run. However, with panty hose that wasn’t possible—or so I thought, until I got the idea of cutting the legs off and saving the panty itself until I got another mated pair of stockings. Then I sew them onto the panty so it won’t show in ease the wind should blow my dress. I use a whipped-over stitch and find these perfect for everyday use. For those who have only one damaged panty hose stocking, try to match it and sew it on. Mary Coleman * * * By golly, it works, folks! Since panty hose cost so much more, I’ve been cutting the legs off the damaged hose and wearing the panty itself for everyday. I like ’em because they are the stretch type, they don’t run and best of all they’re FREE.
