Free Food - Cadillacs

Americans are traditionally a charitable people. They want to help, and do help the needy amongst us. To take a current example, the government’s project of distributing free food to those in want — which has, as a corollary, the reduction of agricultural * surpluses — undoubtedly has “powerful public support. But the best of plans and intentions can be abused. A short time ago, Life magazine - reported: “For the 1,401 tJ.S. counties now receiving free groceries, the $110.2 million cost in 1961’s first half is nearly quadruple the $29.2 million in the same period last year. It has also vastly

Fable of Scorpion And Beaver

Anyone who thinks we can do business with the ' Reds, make agreements with them or live and let live with them, should read Dean Russell’s fable of the scorpion and the beaver. “The scorpion asked the beaver to carry him across the lake* The beaver declined the request with this deduction: ‘lf I let you get on my back, you’ll sting me and paralyze she and cause me to drown.’ “But the scorpion out-deducted him with this rejoinder: “I can’t swim. Thus if I sting you while we are in the lake,

SOME OF MY GOOD FRIENDS HAVE QUEER READING HABITS. CLOSEUP LOOK GIVEN TO THE DOCTOFt WORLD The Indiana State Medical Association is busy stoking the fires against possibility that the second session of the 87th Congress meeting this month might enact medical care for the aged and charge it to Social Security.

about the influx of Cuban and Iron curtain doctors who fled from communism. There are many small Indiana communities who are clamoring for a doctor arid the output of our Indiana Medical Center is inadequate to meet the growing needs. Industry is competing for doctors as never before The American Medical Association Council on Medical Education and Hospitals has adopted a resolution calling upon boards of the states to use services of Cuban exile physicians in areas where need exists. The AMA law department pointed out that non-certified Cuban MDs could be utilized in several fields allied to medical practice, including jobs as medical technicians, technicians in pathology laboratories, male nurses with pharmaceutical firms, and in gov-

ril drown too. Obviously I wouldn’t do anything to cause that.’ “The beaver could find no fault in that logic. So, being a kind-hearted fellow, he invited the scorpion aboard and set out across the lake. Right in the middle of it, the scorpion stung the beaver and paralyzed him. As they sank together to the bottom of the water, the beaver reproachfully pointed out to the scorpion that both of them would drown. ‘Why did you sting me?” he asked. “ ‘I couldn’t help it,’ tearfully replied the scorpion, it’s my nature’.”

ernment hospitals as certain posts where licensing is not necesary. An American Medical association attorney concurred with judges .who frequently find doctors who are speeding to answer bonafide emergency calls. The lawyer for the AMA recognized a doctor is not justified in creating a serious traffic hazard for the public even though he is answering a necessary emergency call. If every physician were to violate speeding laws in order to an-, swer emergency calls, serious traffic dangers could exist, the attorney pointed out While judges consider each individual case, most often the doctor is fined. The AMA is concerned also by the increasing number of ambulances speeding on an emergency are involve*) in traffic accidents. While ambulance service is needed to take a patient to the hospital, an investigation shows that there is no urgent need for either speed or siren in most cases. UNUSUAL PERSONS STATE ATTITUDE TOWARD PRESS The average Hoosier will hurry to grab his newspaper as soon as it is left by carrier or mail. He wants the news of the community, state, nation and world while it is fresh and hot. However there are exceptions. This column may have mentioned before experience of one of my friends in Brown county. He had a conversation with an intelligent man who manifested his schooling by making no grammatical errors. This individual revealed that he has no television, no radio and no newspaper or magazine coming into his home. He does not go to town to exchange gossip and news with neighbors, unless he has a mission and then he does not take time to talk. This individual said he had been happy and getting along alright without newspaper, television or radio. He- said he was happy not to bother with worries of the world. A friend of mine is retired and six months of the year is on the road ill part-time employment. The rest of the times he lives on Social Security. H 6 subscribes to one major daily newspaper among other reading matter. He stacks these papers unread carefully for six months and then starts in reading them. He is just starting on reading the 1961 newspapers. He told me from what he had read of ,1961 so far, it “looked like it would be a most exciting year.” Read the CLASSIFIEDS!

FARM NOTESliffSrs'

By DONALD FRANTZ Agriculture Extension Agent As we take a look at 1962 in relation to years past we can see trends running in agriculture. These trends are a part of the times that we live in and cannot be turned on and turned off at the decision of some persons or groups. Legislation may alter trends but unless it changes the things that cause them, the trends will continue. Some of the signs of the times in farming are these as follows: One is the size of farms are growing and one farmer can farm more land than some one else must find other employment Much of this has been due to mechanization. A man with a four-row cultivator can cultivate more corn than a fellow with a one-row and a dairyman with a two-unit milking parlor can milk more cows than we used to by hand. The facts are just about that simple but the results are not. Somebody has to goLess than a century ago when a fellow ran out of land to farm he moved west and staked off another one. That didn’t last forever and sooner or later he had to take a little money along and pay someone who had staked off ahead of (him but for a long time it didn’t cost much. Where do you go now to find cheap land? The use of artificial insemination in beef cattle is on the increase. Beef cattle purebred breeders have not been nearly as interested as have the dairymen but some recent progress has been made. The Tee Bar ranch in Montana reported they bred 328 head in a 25-day period and got an 80 percent crop. They received a two per cent per pound premium on all their calves because of their uniformity. A bunch of 127 of these came into the Conner-Prairie farm at Noblesville. Mr. Bubenger, manager of Conner-Prairie, is pretty well pleased with 127 head, all from the same bull, all within 25 days of the same age. The use of frozen semen makes this possible. \ Some people tend to think Suit artificial insemination is new. The Arabs used it to develop the great strains of Arabian horses. They

were using this method of breeding horses before the time of Christ. Farm Science Days, renamed from the former winter agricultural conference, will be held January 15-20 at Purdue. The program is varied and complete and starts out with the annual pesticide conference and winds up with the Christmas tree growers convention. Most of the livestock breeders associations meet at sometime during the week and also the state grain show is held. We have copies of the full program and will send one to anyone interested. One of the specialists in home furnishings came up with this bit of advice about rocking chairs. They were created by Benjamin Franklin about 1770 and were all of wooden construction in three styles. The styles were Shaker, Windsor and Boston. We haven’t been told whether Franklin created the styles or just the rockers. We also Weren’t told whether this had anything to do with his discovery of electricity while flying a kite but there could be some connection. The furniture lady also reports that a good rocking chair is well balanced with extending both front f nd back to prevent tilting. This makes them safer but a lot less fun for the kids. Another point of caution issued was that they should have plenty of strength at the joints but at the same time shouldn’t be so heavy as to be clumsy. Apparently you couldn’t “rock around the Christmas tree” in a clumsy rocker. Not all of this advice came from the lady who designs furniture.

UNANSWERED QUESTIONS The people who devise entertainment for the American public — from children on up—seem to operate on the theory we are all as lazy mentally as President Kennedy indicates we are physically. By the measures the entertainment impresarious use, they can muster some pretty good evidence. In illustration, the TV listener ratings, for whatever they are worth, suggest that on Thanksgiving night the ganster serial, “The Untouchables,” and “Sing Along with Mitch” outdrew by ratios of 3 and 4 to 1 an hour-long filmed interview with former President Eisenhower. This kind of thing is not new; of course, but it is constantly cited by the broadcasting industry to justify flooding TV screens with westerns, gangster shows, quizzes and other frothy trivia. In the way, film and stage producers point to relative cash receipts in defense of their concentration on light entertainment as against solid dramatic fare. 5 Newton Minow, chairman of the FCC, thinks broadcasters sadly underrated the public’s taste and understanding. He argues that they have been particularly cavalier in ‘ ‘frittering away” opportunities in the children’s field. Catching youngsters at the formative stage, says Minow, TV could do much to widen their knowledge and give them high standards of taste. Borne voices in the industry are heard in support, but many who say they would like to see better programming agree with one man’s

comment that the thinking person’s program “doesn’t have a chance —there just aren’t enough of us.” Presumably the reaction will inevitably be the same when similar criticisms are leveled at other entertainment media. Even book publishers have bored to the pressures to seek a low common denominator. Many books today offer little more than a flashy appearance and featherweight content. A good deal of evidence indicates that Europeans digest far more solid fare than we in their books, their movies, their theater, their television. Some Americans who have lived long abroad are stunned when they return here and see the ‘ contrast. The President says that in physical tests the children of Austria, Italy and Switzerland leave ours far behind. ‘ Other comparisons have given English youngsters a marked edge. Despite Minow’s stout faith in us, mental comparisons, it seems, might prove even more embarrasing. Ane has to wonder exactly what it is that a lot of Americans ARE concentrating on these, days. —•—: i Views & Reviews Robert M.

Kosciusko CountySehool Consolidation Plan Will Need 'Selling Job' V

The proposed school consolidation plan for Kosciusko county’s schools is going to need some “selK" ing” to the public prior to the spring election when it will go before the voters of the county. This opinion seemed to grow as the old year came to an end. Reports were heard more frequently that the general public is apathetic toward the school consolidation plan, and that it was feared many would vote against the plan, on the premise that our schools as they now exist are adequate. Some voices were raised in prominent places against the comprehensive plan as-adopted and approved by the state commission for school reorganization. It was understood that a concerted effort to "sell” the plan to the public would be made as the spring election approaches. While opinion has generally fav-' ored the proposed plan at this point, there are stubborn pockets of opposition. The residents living in the southern half of Plain township continue to oppose the plan, stating they are more aligned with the Warsaw school system than the, proposed Lakeland system. In Pierceton and Washington, where a county unit system is favored, opposition to the plan is vociferous. In a show of hands in ‘the Pierceton gym when the county committee held a public meeting, it was estimated 98% opposed the proposed plan. This opposition continues, and an educated guess would be that this area would vote overwhelmingly against the plan. Four Corporations The plait calls for four school corporations in Kosciusko cunty. They are as fllows: Warsaw - Wayne Commu n i t y School Corp.—To include the present Warsaw - Wayne township school and Prairie township. Lakeland School Corp.—To include Van Buren, Turkey Creek, Tippecanoe, PlaiA and about half Os Jefferson township. Woodland School Corp.—To include Waihingtn, Monroe, Jackson, Clay and Lake townships. Tippecanoe School Corp.—To include Seward, Franklin and Harrison townships, and Henry township of Fulton county. o Etna Green* will "consolidate with the BOurbon school and Scott and the west half of Jefferson township will go to the Nappa,nee school. The county committee is as follows: John F. Augsburger, Milford, chairman; Glen C.
