BY PENNY BLAKER, Staff Reporter

CLOVERDALE-The Cloverdale Community Building sparkled with bright and dazzling colors Tuesday afternoon as nearly 70 women from a nine-county area modeled the garments of wool they constructed for entry in the “ Make It Your self With Wool” contest. The winners were Vickie Lynn Wallace, junior; Sharon Kay Mitchell, senior; and Linda Tague, adults, Alternates were Carol Ann Evens, junior; Marie McKee, senior; and Norma Evens, adults. Of the six winners, five were from Putnam County. Sharon Mitchell is from Rockville, Parke County. Other winners were as follows: Junior — Debra Lynn Alcorn, third; Carla Snyder, fourth; Becky Ellen McMaines, fifth; Beverly McFarland, sixth; and Susan Alexander, seventh. Senior -- Judith Lynn Johnson, third; Donna South, fourth; Joan Hunt, fifth; Jane Ellen Pruitt, sixth; and Kathryn Good, seventh. Adult—Mrs. Wayne Cosby, third; Mrs. Jack Torr, fourth; and Mrs. Charles Podgill, fifth. Mrs. Betty H. Sendmeyer, Putnam County Extension Agent, Home Economics, served as narrator as the women modeled their fashions. Mrs. Glendon Herbert Cloverdale, director of wool for District 5, presided during the afternoon style show. Judges were Mrs. Louise Johnson, Parke County Extension Agent, Mrs. Elaine Brown, Clay County Extension Agent, and Mrs. Guy Gross, Churubusco, director of women’s activities for Farm Bureau. Mrs. Oren Wright, state director of wool, also attended.

The contest was sponsored by the Women’s Auxiliary of the National Wool Growers Association, the Indiana Wool Growers and the Indiana Farm Bureau Women. Bonanza quarters come to fair Indianapolis, Ind.-Visitors of the Indiana State Fair will be able to visit the nation’s most famous living room in the traveling replica of Ben Cartwright’s Pondorosa ranchhouse seen weekly on the “Bonanza” television series. More than 15,000 visitors toured the home during the first three days it was first on display at the Arizona State Fair last fall. Since then, the home has been up at expositions, conventions, state fairs and other public attractions across the country and it has proved its value as a drawing attraction in its own

right.

Loren Greene who plays Ben Cartwright and who owns the attraction with NBC Enterprises, said the exhibit was built in response to thousands of letters from fans asking to see the

home.

The home is just like the television set in every detail except that the material in the traveling home is much lighter. The furnishings, however, are exactly like those in the television home in every way and include Ben Cartwright’s Bible. The exhibit will be shipped to Indianapolis on three trucks and erected by six men in less than

a day.

PARTICIPANTS IN THE ADULT division of the "Make It Yourself with wool" style show anxiously await their time to parade before the judges. Approximately 70 women

from a nine county area were judged at the show Tuesday afternoon in the Cloverdale Community Building.

It’s almost time for school bells to ring

Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERE

By GENE BERNHARDT WASHINGTON (UPI) - School bells may go unheeded by thousands of teachers and pupils across the nation next month. According to the two giant teachers unions, the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachars, present conditions portened as many as 400 elementary and high school teachers strikes this school year, more than three times the record 126 walkouts of last year. Spokesmen for the two groups said there is “a strong possibility” of strikes at the opening of school next month in St. Louis, Philadelphia, East St. Louis, 111., New Orleans and Wilmington, Del. In addition, the NEA said 35 suburban area schools in Michigan, mainly near Detroit, face the same strike threat along with isolated rural districts in Colorado, Oklahoma, Idaho, New Hampshire and South Dakota. May Reach 400 “We anticipate there will be about 50 strikes when school starts with another 300 to 350 spread throughout the rest of the school year,” the NEA spokesman said. Neither the AFT or NEA could estimate the number of teachers and students affected except to say it would run into the tens of thousands. Sixteen states have, since 1959, written laws giving teachers some form of collective bargaining. The NEA, with its 1.2 million members, said nearly 80 per cent, or 643,268 teachars, have won bargaining recognition contracts from local school boards and the AFT, with 164,000 members, said 100,000 of its members are under a contract arrangement. The AFT, which is affiliated with the AFL-CIO, has a policy of “nocontract, no work” which touched off scores of last year’s strikes. The NEA is not affiliated with other labor groups. NEA Gets Tough As restless young teachers started signing up in growing numbers with the more aggressive AFT, the NEA started taking a tough stand, calling its members out on strike in record numbers last year. The NEA formerly relied on sanctions which merely urged teachers not to work in certain

school districts or even an entire state. The most publicized factor in a teacher strike is the salary issue, but both the NEA and AFT said that is only one reason and in some cases not the major reason for a strike. “Teachers want a voice in the operation of the school system where they believe youngsters are not getting the level of education they deserve,” said an NEA spokesman. “The whole militant tone of society today, with the civil

rights and peace protests, is reflected in teaching,” he said. “They're protesting against outdated, even condemned buildings and against operating big city schools under a system that was devised years ago to serve rural needs.” The AFT identified two basic causes for strikes. “Teachers want the right to bargain collectively and they want a work contract just as any other American worker represented by a union has,” a spokesman said.

Letter From Vienna

Usually when one travels in Europe, one's mind is shifted to think in terms of the past ... London in the time of certain kings or Dickens; Vienna in the time of the great composers; or Germany during World War II. Very few have the experience of being on the spot when history is made. I just missed it by a day which is about as close as I could have gotten. I arrived in Vienna on Saturday afternoon and on Sunday journeyed about 1 a half hour to» the east to Bratislava, the capitol of Slovakia. This spawling city was the scene for the ratification of an agreement reached in communists summit talks earlier in the week, less than twenty four hours before. Bratislava's guest list had read like Who’s Who in Communism, with the party bosses of Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria and East Germany joining the Czechs and Soviets to sign an agreement which ended the confrontation over reform movements in Czechoslavakia. Exactly what the conclusions were no outsider really knows. It appears that Alexander Dubcek, party leader in Czechoslavakia, has been given time to show that the liberal reforms he helped instigate will not undermine his country or the alliance. After the meetings the Czech government reported that all troops had left their soil, but over twenty Soviet divisions are still within striking distance should military action be felt necessary. It was refreshing for the West to see these air holes

being drilled though the Iron Curtain by the Czechs, but most unpleasant for the Soviets. Apparently, this isn't the year for super powers to have their own way. I was excited to be there even a day late- just think it might someday equal having been on the spot where King John signed the Magna Carta. Sincerely, Larry Taylor

These are days when it’s fashionable to accent the negative. A-bstract plays, abstract novels, and politicians with abstract ideas occupy the limelight. Critic Joseph Wood Krutch points out that what made Twiggy a worldfamous model were the things she DIDN’T have. "The creator,” he says, “has become an anti-creator and his greatest achievement is to discover how he can leave out something that has never been left out before.”

Hoosier cattlemen entries

Lafayette, Ind. Steers in the 1968 Hoosier Beef Show not only outnumbered their 1967 counterparts, but also excelled them from every other standpoint. For instance, the 105 steers in the 1968 show averaged 1,008 pounds; in 1967 the 80 steers in the show averaged 1,004 pounds. This year’s animals gained an average of 1.89 pounds a day, compared to 1.88 pounds daily for the 1967 entries. Buyers paid an average of $36.01 per hundredweight last $36.01 per hundredweight at auction for the 1968 steers, while the average price per hundredweight last year was $34.08. Selling pews DIDLINGTON, England (UPI)—The village church is selling 28 pews, the pulpit and the organ to raise money to rid It of bees and beetles. “It has been very frightening,” said Vicar Hugh Blackburne. “The bees have dropped wax and honey all over the place, making it extremely slippery to walk.”

Slightly more than 70 per cent of the carcasses of this year’s steers graded Choice; last year 67.5 per cent of the carcasses graded Choice. Outside fat cover of the 105 steers measured .58 Inches, compared to .63 inches for the 80 in last year’s show. Loin eye area averaged 12.2 square inches for the 1968 steers, one square inch larger than the loin eye area of those entered last year. The loin eye is the principal muscle in steak and is an indicator of total muscling in the carcass. Average cutability percentage of the 1968 steers was 49.79, compared to 48.4 for the 1967 animals. This means, says Henry Mayo, Purdue University extension animal scientist, that the 1968 average carcass was worth about $1.75 per hundredweight more than tne average 1967 carcass. The all-Indiana show, held at the Indianapolis Stock Yards each July, Is sponsored by the Stock Yards, Stark, Wetzel & Co.,Inc.; the Indiana Cattlemen’s Association and Purdue.
