Letter to the Editor

.'Hi

Dear Editor: Recently two events have occurred in Greencastle which have caused our citizens a great deal of concern. It is difficult to determine which is the more despicable act. The burning of a church or the disseminating of literature to our teen-agers suggesting that they evade or violate our laws. Both are deplorable. We believe that our local law enforcement officials will apprehend the arsonists and that they will be dealt with. The second act referred to is the distribution of “anti-draft” literature to local high school students. This must not go unnoticed. In the past most Greencastle

citizens have attended to the business of making a living and raising their families and have ignored the antics of a very few publicity minded college students with their immature ideas and crackpot rumblings. But when these same people invade our schools and attempt to contaminate the minds of the student body and encourage them to become law breakers it is time for all citizens to respond and be heard. Fortunately, for the university and the townspeople, these students are a distinct minority and by no means represent the thinking of the responsible students of whom we are proud. We should be proud as well of the manner in which our local

high school students responded to this incident. As the appointed spokesmar for more than five hundred American Legion members of Posi 58, I believe that such an acl goes beyond the realm of academic freedom. It is the hope of our members that the letter to university officers will take appropriate disciplinary actior against the offending students. Ralph D. Richards Commander Cassell C.

By DICK WEST WASHINGTON (UPI)—This week’s telecast of the “Tony” awards was a thudding disappointment. Although the ceremony purportedly honored excellence in the Broadway theater, there was no award for curtain, pulling. Which killed most of the suspense. Producers of the show should have realized that we in the television audience had been preconditioned by “Hollywood’s Oscar” presentations, which cover the whole breadth and sweep of the movies. Over the years we have developed a keen Interest in technical achievement and can hardly wait to see who is going to win the award for best popcorn salesman at a black-and-white non-musical picture without an intermission. The "Tony” show, in contrast, was unexciting and anticlimatical, being more concerned with thespians, directors, composers and playwrights. I may have felt the loss more than most viewers owing to the fact that in my younger days I harbored ambitions to become a professional curtain-puller. For a brief time I studied under Sir Archibald Tugg, the great British curtain-puller who handled the ropes with such subtlety and finesse that theater audiences on two continents could instantly recognize the “Tugg touch.” Although I had a certain talent, it soon became obvious I was not emotionally suited for curtain-pulling. I never learned

to conquer the opening night jitters. Sweaty palms would cause the rope to slip in my hands. Nevertheless, I gained insights into the techniques of curtain-pulling that still enhance my enjoyment of the theater. Indeed, at a couple of plays I have attended recently the curtain work was all I did enjoy. What the cast mistook for curtain calls were actually encores for the curtain. The curtain sets the mood for the entire performance. Start a drawing room comedy with a melodramatic curtain parting, or rise, and the whole evening is a shambles. A properly drawn, or dropped, curtain can bring some semblance of coherence to an otherwise weak second act. Who can ever forget Sir Archibald’s famous curtain work in “Hamlet?” that tentative, hesitant opening, reflecting the Dane’s indecisiveness; that crescendo closing after the final bloodletting. Unless the “Tony” awards begin paying more tributes to technical talent, they can never compete with the “Oscars.” Gets award INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Dr. Frank L. Jennings, former superintendent of Sunnyside Sanitarium here, was presented the Murray A. Auerbach Award for 1968 Tuesday by the Indiana Tuberculosis Association. The award is given annually in recognition of outstanding achievement in the Hoosier tuberculosis program.

Mr. Egenoff said Tuesday that it will require a minimum of another five or six weeks to repair the press as far as the work his firm can do. The Egenoff Company did not purchase the press as their bid was rejected. The machine was purchased by a Rjshville paper and the Egenoffs are doing the repair work. XvXvXvXvXvXvXXvXrXtfSv^^

By LEONARD CURRY WASHINGTON .(UPI)—A man thinking of taking up farming these days needs enough nerve to rob a bank and almost enough money to start one, according to Rep. Jamie K. Whit, ten, D-Miss. Whitten, chairman of a House appropriations subcommittee handling funds for farm programs, said in hearings published today that this is one reason there are so few farmers left. “Rural citizens who are not farmers are far more numerous than those living in rural areas who farm,” said Whitten.

Amendment

gets support

INDIANAPOLIS (UPI)- Support for a pending amendment to the Indiana Constitution to permit longer sessions of the legislature was given Tuesday by a subcommittee of a state agency. The Constitution Revisions Commission’s subcommittee approved the proposed amendment increasing the maximum length of biennial sessions from 61 to 107 days. The proposed amendment passed the 1967 Legislature. It must pass the 1969 Legislature and be approved in a voter referendum in 1970 before It can become effective.

“There are few farmers left. It takes about $70,000 or more in capital on the average to farm. They have to have not only capital, but business knowledge of domestic and foreign affairs. To farm it takes almost enough money to establish a bank, and enough nerve to rob a bank.” Whitten said all Americans should be concerned. The Agriculture Department reports record farm income from marketing milk and cream in 1967, despite a decline in the number of milk cows and a falloff In total production. Farmers were paid a record $5.7 billion, a 4 per cent gain over the previous record set in 1966, according to the depart, ment. Five states accounted for 44 per cent of the national income total: Wisconsin, New York, California, Minnesota and Pennsylvania, in order. South Atlantic states had average gains of 8 per cent over 1966 for the greatest regional increase. The heavy milk production states had average gains of about 3 per cent. The record cash receipts came during a year when the number of milk cows on the farm fell to 13.5 million and production slipped about half a percentage point. But the department’s crop reporting board accounts for the higher profits by citing the greater production per cow. The

You, your child

By DAVID NYDICK The final responsibility for a student’s education rests on his own shoulders. Parents and schools can provide opportunities for learning but the student must do the learning. Recent trends in solving behavior and educational problems seem to emphasize the parents or teacher as the cause. Although this may be true in various cases there probably should be more concentration on the child. He has the final say as to whether or not the problem will be corrected. Problem Case Let’s look at a problem which one reader has brought to my attention. Question: My son, Jay, is a good student but he does not do his homework. He is now in the ninth grade and I am sure this will begin to affect his work in class. I have provided ideal study conditions such as a quiet room, good lighting, comfortable chair and desk, no distractions, and reasonable amounts of time. In addition, we have discussed the problem. When he still did not fulfill his responsibility, I threatened various punishments which eventually have teen put into action. I have discussed the matter with the school. The teachers have checked and have indicated that he knows how to do the work. The psychologist has not found any emotional problems. I am at my wits end. What am I doing wrong? How can I help Jay before he gets into serious difficulties? Answer: May I reassure you that as a parent you have certainly fulfilled your responsibilities. You should not have any feelings of guilt. Responsibility With Child Naturally, you are concered. Perhaps, the best move at this point is to place the responsibility where it belongs. Jay is growing up. He must learn to stand on his own two feet. I suggest you take the following steps before letting Jay sink or swim on his own. First make sure that he recognizes the problem. Perhaps the teacher

can accomplish this with a firm discussion. Then, either you or his teacher can provide an explanation of the possible consequences of his actions. After these steps have been taken, let Jay make his own decisions. Refusing to do homework may be his way of showing independence. He may not recognize his mistake until he receives a failing grade. On the other hand, you may find that when the responsibility is given to him, he will begin to fulfill it. Your continued interest in his welfare should be shown in other ways than concern for homework.

farm value of milk produced exceeded $6 billion. The farmer’s return for combined marketing of milk and cream averaged $5.06 a hundredweight in 1967, compared with $4.84 in 1966. Record grain harvests were reported in western Asia and Africa last year, according to the Agriculture Department. The United Arab Republic, usually the largest U.S. grain importer in the area has clamped a complete boycott on American-grown grains. The department says the Arabs are believed to have imported over 2 million tons of grain and grain products, with as much as 90 per cent of this coming from Communist countries. South Africa continues to show gains in its grain production, harvesting 10 million tons of corn last year to provide strong competition for U.S. grains in the Middle East. Hvmimi MOW!
