Mrs. Morris McGaughey and Mrs. George Irwin were received into Delta Kappa Gamma membership on Saturday evening. The Initiation Ceremony, held at the Union Building, was followed by Epsilon Chapter’s annual Christmas Banquet. Mrs. McGaughey is a teacher in the North Putnam Schools, while Mrs. Irwin teaches in the South Putnam School system. Epsilon Chapter draws its membership from the faculties of all the Putnam County schools and DePauw University. Epsilon Chapter is the local unit of The Delta Kappa Gamma Society, an honorary for women in education. The Initiation Ritual was conducted by Mrs. Willard Silvey, chapter chairman of Ceremonies, with the charges to the initiates being given by chapter officers. Mrs. Deryl Sanders, president of Epsilon Chapter, presided at the banquet. Special music, arranged by Mrs. F.M. Aker, was provided by Thomas Grubb, David Carkeek, and Charles Pritchett. Mrs. Aker also led the banquet guests in singing Christmas carols. Mrs. Jerome Hixson, an honorary member of Epsilon Chapter, gave the blessing. The arrangements for the banquet were made by the Chapter Social Committee under the chairmanship of Mrs. Cleon Steward. The beautifully decorated tables, the prayer, and the music created in the guests a mood attuned to the true spirit of Christmas. Mrs. Charles Guion, Terre Haute, the president of the Indiana State Organization of Delta Kappa Gamma, was the speaker for the occasion. She was presented by Mrs. Russell Compton, chapter program chairman. Speaking from the title, “Something’s Happening!” Mrs. Guion commented upon certain current social and educational concepts as these are related to the matter of values, which is the focus of a four-year study to which all chapters of The Delta Kappa Gamma Society are committed. Mrs. Guion observed that the problems of the 1920’s, during which Delta Kappa Gamma was founded, and the challenges of the 1960’s, which we are meeting, have much in common. In the 1920’s there were stereotypes that needed to be negated and it was to do just this that Dr. Annie Webb Blanton founded Delta Kappa Gamma. Today, new, but equally dangerous stereotypes, confront educators, who if they are to preserve a proper set of values must seek to overcome them. Mrs. Guion recalled Robert Frost’s poem, in which he said, “I’m going out to clean the pasture spring,” as offering a guide to suitable conduct for teachers. They have need, figuratively, to “clean the pasture spring” by negating dignity of individuals; by accepting the responsibility for personal growth. Mrs. Guion remarked that educational systems are partly to
blame for present-day problems because educators have taught pupils to evaluate but they have not taught these same pupils how to solve the problems that evaluation revealed, nor created in them a dedication to the solution of the problems. She called upon Delta Kappa Gammas, both as members of the Society and as individuals, to personal dedication to the amelioration of the conditions that threaten the proper values of a free society. Bainbridge Saddle Club By Claire Winings Country, western, and gospel music supplied by the Jack Market family will be the entertainment as the members of the Bainbridge Saddle Club meet for the annual Christmas dinner. The meeting will be held Sunday in Cloverdale Community Building starting about 2:30, supper will be served at 5:00 with the turkey, ham, dressing and drinks furnished. The day will feature another special event, the presentation of trophy belts and buckles to the high point winners in each event this last year. Nancy Perkins, daughter of Bill and Kim Perkins, recently joined the United States Air Force. She is stationed at Lackland Air Base in Texas, where she will soon have completed her basic training. Ludy Jordan will get her cast off soon and we are sure this will be a welcome change for her. Another me nber with a foot messed up for a while was Bill Perkins. He cut his foot with a chain saw on the work day down at the club grounds. The foot was bad enough but he also ruined a pair of real nice boots. The Nuckels family, who were new members this year, recently bought the Waffle House at Danville so if you are there stop in and say ‘Hello’ for they are working hard setting up their business. Norman and Joanne Rogers have a new daughter, a perfect Christmas present to the entire family, even if she did get here a little early. Mother and daughter are fine, congratulations to all. Did you see the cover on the Western Horseman this month? If any of you little cowboys or girls want to get your order in for a pony, do it quickly for from the looks of things Santa Claus is going to be pretty well out of them by the time he fills all orders, especially if you want a certain color or type get your letter off right away. Be real good and to young and old, I would like to extend my wishes to you all for a very Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year, Peace in the whole world as well as in your own heart and last but not least happy riding.
Rush flu vaccine By CHARLES S. TAYLOR ATLANTA (UPI)—The nation’s drug manufacturers today rushed to increase a vaccine supply that currently can protect only one of every 40 Americans against the spreading Hong Kong flu. One health official says the action may be too late to be effective. “As far as Hong Kong flu is concerned, people should have gotten shots last month,” said Dr. Robert A. Baratta of the Florida Health Department. But Baratta suggested that the chronically ill and the aged get the shots as soon as possible. These two groups have priority for the approximate five million doses of Hong Kong flu vaccine now being distributed to doctors. The Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association in Washington said the target production was for ll x 2 million doses for civilians and 2.5 million for servicemen by January 1. Flu and respiratory ailments have been reported so far in 33 states, causing rashes of absenteeism in schools and businesses. New Jersey, where the flu has reached epidemic proportions, received 3,500 doses of vaccine and sent it to five counties with orders for use only on “high risk patients.” At least two colleges, the Citadel at Charleston, S.C., and Hollins College near Roanoke, Va., have closed because of flu outbreaks, and a number of New York schools reported high absenteeism because of sickness. Marshall Field, a huge Chicago department store, said it is averaging from 150 to 200 absences a day among employes “and more are being sent home all the time.” Gimbels department store in Philadelphia said 20 per cent of its work force has been stricken by flu. Twenty-eight Los Angeles County schools reported more than 10 per cent of their students ill, and Sioux Falls. S.C., health officials said there was an epidemic of respiratory illnesses in that city. Florida Health Officer Wilson Sowder said the situation could make for a bleak Christmas in many homes. “There’s really very little a healthy person can do to ward it off if he gets the bug,” he said. How do you know when you’ve got the bug? When you have fever, chills, a sore throat and muscular aches. What happens then? Go to bed and ask Santa to bring plenty of liquids and aspirin. Has no respect for flag CLEVELAND (UPI)—Chris Wood, 21, Cleveland, does not have much respect for the American flag. “The flag means nothing to me,” Wood said. “If it means anything at all, it stands for a lot of misery and injustice that has been fostered in this country.” Wood stopped standing for the National Anthem and the flag when he was 12 years old. He refused to stand before a game Monday night and was kicked off the Adelbert College basketball team by coach Buzz Ellis. “I had a lot of flaps during high school assemblies,” he said. "I sat in the back row a lot and when a teacher would see me sitting during the anthem, they would haul me into the office. A couple times they tried to bar me from assemblies but they never did. “I don’t seek publicity. Uusually when the anthem is played, everybody is watching the flag and nobody notices me. And if I’m standing when it starts, I remain standing.” Wood and his wife, Susan, were married last summer and reside in Cleveland Heights. “She sits during the anthem too,” he said.
Time flies rapidly at Cloverdale High School. With constant activity going on the school year seems to have just started, but last week marked the end of the second six weeks. With the school year now one-third over, this might be a good time to stop and see what’s going on at CHS. The Clover ball boys have been busy rolling up victories, but unfortunately they have also encountered a defeat, losing to the Greencastle Tiger Cubs. The Varisty’s last game was at Clay City on Saturday night. The Clovers, playing without Jerry McCullough, who had been absent from school all last week, smoothly overran the Eels, 8859. As has been the case in the last few games, the star of the night was Billy Steele. He scored 31 points to lead the Clovers. Keith Monnett followed with 15 points. The B-Team has matched the Varsity by winning six of seven games and having their only loss to Greencastle. The next game for the Clovers will beSaturay night against Bainbridge at Greencastle’s old gym. Yes, the time has nearly arrived for the contest between Cloverdale and Bainbridge. The WXTA studio working with the news reporters for Cloverdale and Bainbridge is sponsoring a hamburger-eating contest on Saturday afternoon before the Cloverdale - Bainbridge game. The contest will be held in the front window of the WXTA studio during the Teen Show around 1:30. The Burger Chef in Greencastle will supply the hamburgers for the contestants (one from each -class, 9-12) and will also award trophies to the winners at the Cloverdale-Bainbridge game. The students at Cloverdale will try to prove they are “the best” from hamburgers to basketball. The 7th and 8th grades under Mr. Williams have just recently started their season with a romp over Reelsville but they, as seems to be the fashion at CHS this year, in a closely contested game, lost to Greencastle on Thursday night. The 8th grade game seemed a repeat of the Varsity game with Greencastle. The Clovers led in the first part of the game (for the 8th grade, most of it) and Steele was high point man. This was a different Steele, of course, Mike Steele, who is a brother to Billy, Billy scored 20 points for the Varsity against Greencastle and Mike scored 25 points for the 8th grade. Thus the Steeles
along witli Jim on the freshman team are adding much to the sport life at CHS. The girls’ basketball team was supposed to start their season by meeting the girls from Speedway but the game was postponed. The girls will start their season next Saturday and will open against the girls from Crawfordsville. This game for the girls is usually like the Clover-dale-Bainbridge game for the boys. Crawfordsville has usually liad exceptional teams but what makes the competition so high is that Crawfordsville last year gave tlie Cloverdale girls their 1st loss in the 3 years we have been organized. After the Crawfordsville game on Saturday, the Cloverdale girls will travel to Bloomington on Wednesday to play the girls from Bloomington. Last year the Clover girls beat the girls from Bloomington; but last year, Bloomington was making their 1st endeavor with a girls’ team. This year they will be a hard team to beat since IU’s coach, Lou Watson, has a daughter on the team who is 6’2”, this will be an unusual and difficult situation for the Clover girls since our tallest girl is 5’9”. The GAA girls started bowling last week. Bowling is an activity that is a lot of fun and highly competitive at Cloverdale. Awards are given at the end of the year for high bowlers and for the bowler who improves the most. As the year goes by the girls will be working very hard towards these awards. This week ended the GAA candy sales. The girls had a contest to see who could sell the most candy with prizes awarded to the top salesmen. Madonna Grove was first selling $84 worth of candy and was awarded $20. Linda Sublett was second selling $80 and Becky Johnson was third, selling $60. The second place winner was awarded $10 and the 3rd place was awarded $5. The Pep Band organized Monday evening. Under Miss Letsinger, this year the pep band will be slightly different with the addition of clarinets to the group. The Pep Band plays between games and during the Varsity games at the home games when the band does not perform. They also might play at the Bainbridge-Cloverdale game
this Saturday night. Besides doing popular numbers and favorites such as the Tijauna Brass numbers, the Pep Band also will be working with the Pep Club to devise bleaclier yells. In chorus, since in order to sing the music we need for programs and contests, we often don’t have time for the popular numbers we want to sing, this year Miss Letsinger is helping Mrs. McCandless by organizing a swing choir. This group gets together on Tuesday nights and sings the pop numliers that groups have out on records. Some of the numbers are “Barefoot”, “Yesterday”, “Up, Up, and Away”, and other popular songs the chorus now has, but soon even more and newer numbers are to arrive so the Swing Choir can really “Swing”! Though it seems early for Christmas, the PTO December meeting was Monday night with the Band and Chorus performing. The Band and Chorus worked very hard on one number in particular where the band accompanied the Chorus. This number was the very difficult Hallelujah Chorus from Handel’s Messiah. The Chorus performed many other old-time favorites on their own and the Band had a special number for which the Cadet Band joined the Senior Band increasing our size to 115 chairs for a Christmas sing-along number. This program was a treat to everyone who had any Christmas Spirit especially since the grade school children sang their always angelic numbers and Patty Orcutt and John Pruitt had beautiful solos. Of course, the group that stole the show was our outstanding barbershop quartet composed of four of the craziest, but nicest, guys anyone could meet; John Pruitt, Barry Partin, Frank Coffin, and Terry Hoffa. Thursday was another one of those Mad yearbook picture days. Even though the editors, Bonnie Van Pelt and Margo Riley, have the pictures and schedules organized; when a hundred students are trying to organize, group, and change clothes (some into GAA clothes, some in $enior cords, others in Roman attire, and even others in formals) the balance of a mess and organization is rather haphazard. Earlier this year the Seniors elected three girls, from these

Thinks Bishop should
settle their DETROIT (UPI)—Twenty-six years ago the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin was so outspoken the federal government banned his magazine as “traitorous.” His broadcasts to 30 million radio listeners were a constant source of uneasiness to the Roman Catholic Church. Now Father Couglin, retired at 78 from the Shrine of the Little Flower in suburban Royal Oak, is in print for the first time since 1942 denouncing the liberal priests of the present who want to “upset Pope Paul.” “Bishops must assume the major responsibility for the moral predicament in which the members of the Catholic Church find themselves,” Father Couglin wrote win “Helmet and Sword,” a 54-page pamphlet described as the first section of a book dealing with the modern church. On the | Lighter Side | S By DICK WEST Sj WASHINGTON (UPI)-It was reported this week that a group of congressmen recently stopped off in Las Vegas while making a tour of military installations. The visit was said to have included dinners and shows at some of the Las Vegas night clubs, with the Air Force picking up most of the tab. These reports have given rise to insinuations that the mission was not really vital. The theory is that if the mission had been really vital, the congressmen would not have stopped off in Las Vegas. They would have stopped off in Paris. This theory is based on one of Parkinson's laws, which states: “There is no matter of vital concern to the U.S. Congress that does not require a trip to Paris.” I must say, however, that I disagree with such insinuations. It may be true that a congressman cannot collect as much vital defense information in Las Vegas as he can in Paris. But that doesn’t necessarily mean a stopover in Las Vegas is unproductive. The U.S. Air Force, yhich arranged this particular tour, obviously would not have included Las Vegas on the itinerary had it not believed the congressmen w'ould profit from :he visit. All of this was explained to ne by a friend in the Air Force vith whom I discussed the natter. “Bear in mind that Congress appropriates the funds for the Armed Forces,” he said. “One of our main problems in the Air Force is making sure Congress doesn’t give us more money than we need, while shortchang. ing the Army and Navy. “If we felt our sister services were being deprived of funds because our projects received budgetary priority, we couldn’t live with ourselves. “We try to prevent that from happening by taking congressmen on inspection tours so they can see for themselves which of our projects should be left unfunded.” I said, “What projects might they eliminate in Las Vegas?” “In that instance the Air Force probably was trying to help out the Navy,” he replied. “If the Navy wanted to build a submarine base in Las Vegas, Congress w'ould need first hand information about the project.” “I see,” I said. “But suppose the Air Force wanted to build something in Las Vegas?” “In that case the Navy would take a group of congressmen to Paris.”
dilemma “Catholic laity thoughtout the world are not only confused but scandalized and disgusted” at the actions of “theological rebels and secularist upstarts.” He said, “many of our prelates are amateur social engineers who hide ttie lamp of their religious commitment under the bushel basket of secular science.” Father Couglin also hati strong criticism for Archbishop John H. Dearden of Detroit, often mentioned as in line to be named a cardinal in the church. The aging priest accused his superior of “under the table approval” of priests organizations such as the Detroit association of priests which he said is engaged in a “planned effort to upset Pope Paul.” Father Coughlin called lissident priests “loud-mouth clerical advocates of arson, riot and draft card burning. “To feed, clothe and house the poor, to agitate for social and civil rignts, particularly for the Negro, the Puerto Ricah and the migrant Mexican; to dedicate archdiocesan funds for material purposes, have become the objectives of many of these gentlemen.” From 1936 until 1942, Father Couglin published “Social Justice” but it w'as stopped by U.S. Atty. Gen. Francis Biddle who denounced it as “traitorous.” Will proceed CAPE KENNEDY (UPI)Project officials today decided to proceed with the three-man Apollo 8 flight around the moon Dec. 21 after tests showed that fuel leakage in one of the rocket’s engines was “no problem.” The space agency said the leakage was associated only with a fuel drainage operation and that it would not affect the flight of Frank Borman, James Lovell and William Anders on the first Saturn 5 rocket to be manned. “Extensive testing throughout the night has confirmed that a leakage rate associated with one of the F-l engines (on the first stage of the Saturn 5) is not a problem,” the agency said. When engineers pressurized the booster’s kerosene fuel tank to simulate flight conditions, no measurable leakage was detected. When the leakage was first reported late Wednesday, it was feared an engine change might be necessary. The kerosene fuel was observed seeping down the bullshaped nozzle of the massive engine after a countdown rehearsal. Some seepage is normal, but the space agency said the engine showed a “higher leakage rate than previously observed.”
