INDIANA * The Heart of AGRICULTURE

THIRTY-FOURTH YEAR

James Preston That the Congress will do most of its own legislating, come next January or possibly before, is an expanding probability in the Capital city. The current note is being sounded by Representative John J". O’Connor, of New York, chairman' of the potent House rules committee, and his plan is finding wide favor. O’Connor would end the| custom of havftig most of the leg-1 islative drafting service done in downtown departments by young and unexperienced legal employees. He proposes to form a Congres-j sional drafting committee composed of members -of both the House and Senate. One idea behind this proposal is that a- Congressional drafting service would be much more likely to write laws that will stand up in the courts than would a' group of young legal lights in gov-* eminent departments who never| had any personal legislative ieijce and who had never been renowned for their legal ability before they went to work for the Federal Government. The Frazier-Lemke farm mortgage bill is frequently cited in! this connection. The original bill, drafted hurriedly, was declared] unconstitutional by the Supreme, Court. Mr. O’Connor says of his plan:;, “If we are going to pass a lot of new laws, let’s write them care-, fully so they will stand the tests of the courts.” [ But more important to most of the v.e.te\ans of Capitol HUI is the determination to enact measures r dictated by their own judgment and by their constituency to Break away from the “rubber stamp” approval of quickly draft- ' ed “emergency” measures. I Farm bills, the majority of* which were written by depart-) ment lawyers, ran into this feeling last session. Most Congressmen who were lawyers themselves with years of legislative or legal experience, thought they were unconstitutional, In fact some do not yet see how they can write construtional bills embodying Secretary Wallace’s aims. Another example of how little! attention was paid to some of the| administration’s “must” legislation! before the Congress staged its re-| volt at the close of the last ses_i sion, was the bill which cut the, gold content of the dollar. No public hearings worthy of the name were held. After the bill passed the House, a leading member of the House Coinage Committee, who supported it on the! floor, admitted he hadn’t even! read it. ' • Strangely, the House Coinage Committee, which started the rubber stamping vogue, also began! the trend toward restoration of’ legislative powers to the Capitol. What happened was that the Coinage committee members took a hearty “razzing” for their lack of understanding of the gold dollar bill. Determined not to be “caught short” again, the committee took itself to task when the Treasury sent up a bill asking authorization for the issuance of fractional coins less than one cent in value to be used to pay sales taxes in several states—and pondered the measure more carefully. The result was that the measure was pigeonholed. RECORD EMPLOYMENT Employment in U. S. manufacturing today is at the highest, point in history, with 500,000, more persons on the payrolls than' in 1929 and 5,000,000 more than! the low point in 1932.

LAKE REGION AND TOWN WILL BENEFIT 1 Increase of Business for All Is Motive Behind Plan In an effort to make Syracuse a more popular shopping J center and to improve their own business as well as .that ’of other institutions and estI , ablishments, the Wawasee Realty Service Company has [inaugurated a publicity and ’advertising campaign that t will continue over a long period of time. i Since the construction of tne Pickwick Block and the opening |of the . Pickwick Theatre, Syracuse business men say tnere has, been a markgff increase in the| number of persons ’coming here I for ent/rtainment and necessities.' With the inauguration of a well planned advertising and publicity icam&ign, more and more people informed of the possibilities in and around Syracuse as a snopping center, a mecg of amusement and entertainment and a i healths ul place to live. I Beginning this week, the Pick- | wick Theatre and Pickwick Cockjtail Lounge are inaugurating Theatre Parties. On Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings| of each week during the winter months, the Pickwick Lounge is offering a special five-course dinner at a reduced rate, with the price of the dinner including free tickets to the Pickwick Theatre. 'Dancing will be permitted in the! I Fiesta Room of the Lounge and! 'entertainment during dinner is (being arranged. AU the resources! .of the organization are being used! to make Syracuse the by-word' when residents of Northern Indi- ' ana think and speak of “some place to go for an evening of entertainment at a reasonable cost”. The Indiana Journal is cooper-1 ating with the Wawasee Realty] iService Company, operators of the! (Theater and lounge in’this wide-{ [spread publicity program. Tne) plan begins with a campaign this week through newspapers in this area and as the program unfolds, the area embraced with publicity and advertising will be broadened to embrace all of Indiana and neighboring states. With this leadership evidenced by these responsible for the development here, it is believed that the whole lake region will eventually benefit by increased patronage and business the year-round, and will grow as new people and new investors are attracted here. During and before the lake season, the advertising program will be built around Lake Wawasee, Syracuse Lake and other Northern Indiana Lakes, in an effort to increase the number of vacationers that annually come to Northern Indiana. In a-few words, officials say, plan is to popularize through >, constructive publicity, all of i [tention called to Wawasee and [Syracuse.

Hoosier motoriests planning fall trips to enjoy Indiana’s autumn coloring should include the state parks, forests, lakes and game preserves on their itinerary, Virgil M. Simmons, con rnissioner of ! the Department of Conservation, • suggested today. These forested areas with their [drives, trails anil picnic facilities [are ideal places for family outings [during the coming weeks when the Clark, Henry Montgomery, H. D. Harkless, Dr. Oscar Stoelting, Dr. Garnett Latham, Ross Osborn, Roy Darr, George Xanders, Willard Gustafson, DeLoss Weaver, John Harley, Harry Culler, Joseph Rapp, Sam Porter, Jess Sargent, A. J. Thibodeaux, Roscoe Howard, all of Syracuse; H’ar-. ry Bunger, Mr. Lindsay, Mr. Galloway of Cromwell.

coloring of the foliage is st its heignth. Distribution of hese; areas throughout the state and their accessibility over improved state highways, place them within easy reach of every motorist. Wnile Brown County and the state park and game preserve, are widely known for (he brilliance of the autumn coloring, other parts of Indiana are equally attractive. An increasing number of motorists are enjoying the scenic beauty of the state parks and many of them are “ciscovering” the state fcrests for the first time. The Jasper Pulaski gan e preserve, near Medary-' ville, and the Wells County game! (preserve and forest, near Bluff-! ton; are more and more popular. | Indiana's autumn show draws] thousands of motorists from other states each fall, many of v hom|

spend weekends at the state parks. I The improved fishing, arriving with cooler weather, is another autumn attraction which draws thousands of Hoosier anglers out of doors. In recent w'eeks fishing■has been better on both lake and stream, many anglers claiming that the bass and other game fish pui up a better fight during cool weather. Syracuse Seniors To.

Senior Class of [Syracuse are planning to sponsor [a class play to be presented in the I high school auditorium October I The t itle of‘the play is “Reach [for the Moon”.
