Do You Know This Man?

A reader has sent us the following word picture of a twentieth century American: A young man lived with his parents in a/public, housing development. He attended public school, rode the free school bus, and participated in the free lunch program. He entered the army, then upon discharge retained his national service insurance. He then enrolled in the state university, working part time An the state capitol to supplement his GI education check. 'Upon graduation he married a public health nurse and bought a farm with an FHA loan; and then obtained an FRO loan to into business. A baby was born in the county hospital. He bought a ranch with the aid of the veterans’ land program and obtained emergency feed from the government. Later he put part of his land in the soil bank, and the payments soon paid off his farm and ranch. His father and mother lived very comfortably on the ranch on their social security and old-age assistance checks. REA lines supplied electricity; the government helped clear his land. The county agent showed him how to terrace it; then the government built him a fish pond and stocked it with fish. The government guaranteed him a sale for his farm products at highest prices. Books from the public library were delivered to his door. He banked money which a government agency insured. His

Why Is Unemployment High?

We Americans, on the average, have more money to spend than we had a year ago. Pay scales are higher. There are, in many lines, more good jobs available. Going by the standard indices, the recession of 1961 ended quite awhile back. Yet seasonally adjusted unemployment rates continue to run close to the level of a year ago. Something like 6 per cent of the people who want to work aren’t able to find work. Why does this anomaly exist? There is, of course, no single answer. But one can place a finger on important causes of substantial unemployment in the period of high industrial and business activity. And one of these, according to leading economists, is the increase in the minimum Wage, and the extension of federal wage-hour law coverage, that occur-

F. WHITE - It saddens me that one of our leading Indiana universities has tossed out its last remaining course in American history, and substituted Russian and European history. Were I a teacher in an Indiana school, all the way from kindergarten to college, I would be telling my pupils of these two things currently. Our air force had a B-52H plane that broke 11 world records in a 12,519-mile flight without fueling. This historic flight over land and sea was from the Kadena air base, Island of Okinawa, to Torrejon air base, near Madrid, Spain. Think of tills SA® plane, weighing 488,000 pounds, dr exactly 244

e tons, being sustained in flight. Piloted by Maj .'Charles P. Everly, 39, and an eight-man crew, it covered over. 12,000 miles in 21 hours and 52 minutes elapsed time. It flew at altitudes of eight to 10 miles. And I would tell my pupils about Astronaut John Glenn, Jr., who is not ashamed that he and his family go to church and believe in God. No Red would admit that. I would tell them that we have launched 67 objects in space, five times the 13 of the Soviet Union. Our Friendship 7-man manned rocket has 300,000 separate parts with an accuracy of 1/10 millionth of an inch. FARMERS CAN SAVE OUR BIRDS FROM EXTINCTION

First thing when I get out of bed each morning, I put cracked grain out for 40 to 50 birds and a couple of big fox squirrels. More and more Hoosiers are learning how exciting it is to have Cardinals, Blue Jays and a great number of winter birds feeding outside the window. How good it is that our State Fish and Game Division of the State Conservation Department has come up with a plan, whereby farmers can save our valuable birds from extinction. There is nothing more valuable to a farmer than weed seed and bug eating birds. Here is the plan. All landowners, who have room, will be given a five-pound sack of seed, containing two varieties of grain sorghum. They are tall growing sorghums, black amber and 600 varieties. This is enough to plan % acre, broadcast, or drilled in. These sorghums break over when winter comes and form a mat of, cover beneath which the birds and rabbits can find food and shelter, even when snow is deep. Farmers and landowners may obtain this five pounds of seed free. It will be distributed by Conservation club officers locally, county agricultural agents and

children grew up, entered public schools, ate free lunches, rode free school buses, played in public parks, swam in public pools, and joirted the FFA. He owned an automobile so he favored the Federal Highway program. He signed a petition seeking Federal assistance in developing an industrial project to help the economy of his area. He was a leader in obtaining the new post office and Federal building, and went to Washington with a group to ask the government to build a great dam costing millions so that the area could get “cheap electricity.” He petitioned the government to give the local air base to the county. He was also a leader in the movement to get his specific type of farming special tax writeoffs and exemptions. Os course? he belonged to several farmers’ organizations, but denied that they were pressure groups. Then, one day, he wrote to his Congressman: “I wish to protest these excessive governmental expenditures and attendant high taxes. I believe in rugged individualism. I think people should stand on their own two feet without expecting handouts'. “I am opposed to all socialistic trends, and I demand a return to the principals of our Constitution and the policies of States Rights.” Do you happen to know this man ? — The Brookville American, Brookville, Pennsylvania.

red last September. This increase barred from jobs workers who, because of inexperience or some other cause, simply weren’t worth the higher rates to the employer. There should be a moral in this for the future —as further increases, and further extensions, are urged on Congress. Take, for example, retail trade which, by its nature, offers work and learning opportunities for the unskilled. But retailing operates on an extremely modest profit margin in an intensely competitive business climate. So, if wages are forced beyond a certain point, by artificial means, fewer marginal workers will be able to find jobs. It’s an old story. When wage levels fail to take account of productivity, unemployment becomes a constant problem.

other groups. Especially are the members of 4-H, Junior Conservation and Future Farmers of America asked to help promote this seed planting to save birds. INDIANA DEEP WATER SEAPORT IS ADVANCED Gov. Matthew E. Welsh, the majority of members of a state legislature that appropriated $2,000, 000, and many others, say a deep water port for Indiana at the south tip of Lake Michigan is an economic necessity. Progress to getting a port has been snagged on politics. The State Supreme Court cleared, the decks by deciding the validity of the legislative act of creating a Port Authority. Gov. Welsh has been buffeted about by mayors of four Lake county cities who want the port removed from the recommended Burns Ditch site in Porter county to around Gary or elsewhere. Congressman Ray Madden sides in with the mayors. Congressman Charles Halleck favors the Burns Ditch site. The decision of the high court put the Port Commission back in business. Clinton Green, administrative assistant to the Governor, is busy again getting papers to acquire needed land in order and signing up grain and other companies who will build by the port. U. -S. Corps of Engineers has stood firmtfor the Bums Ditch site and will report soon.

MOM’S ANGER SHOULDN’T HAVE SHOWED

Dear Amy: My son attends Yale University. While in school he met a girl whom he became very fond of. I met her once when his father and I visited college during Parents’ Day. She is no raving beauty but she seems sweet, refined and intelligent. Without asking our permission, he invited her to spend the weekend at our home over the holidays. When he called me and told me to expect her, I gave him a piece of my mind. He said when he asked her, he never expected her to accept. Now my opinion of her has changed. Do you think a girl should accept an invitation from a boy to spend the weekend at his house? I say “No” because the invite didn’t come from his parents. Furthermore, we have a two bedroom apartment. My son gave her his bedroom and I was so angry I made him sleep on the living room floor. The girl lives in New she’s 19. Edith s Dear Edith: The girl did nothing wrong accepting the invite. In all probability, she had her parents’ permission but your son should have secured yours first so that proper arrangements could be made. Your first impression of her should prevail. They could have spent the holidays with her parents. Then you would have missed the pleasure of their company. You were wrong for not making the best of it and extending them a warm welcome. She may turn out to be your daughter-in-law yet! • • • Dear Amy: What do you think of a woman who wears too much lipstick? Her Boyfriend Dear Boyfriend: Too much lipstick may be vulgar, but it leaves a good impression! • • • Dear Amy: Last Wednesday my husband left for a union meeting and shortly after he left, some friends came to see hinr They wanted me to call and ask him to come home early. I called and was informed that he wasn’t there and that the meeting had been the night before. When he came home, I asked him how the meeting was and he said fine. Well, I called him a liar and went on to tell him how-1 found out he lied. He swore to God he wasn’t out with

legume seeding'time. If you have seed to be germination tested, plan to get it done soon. We have envelopes and report forms for sending the seed to the state seed laboratory. There is no charge for this. j I still would recommend spreading just a little more and getting the best seed. For new seedings that will be left awhile, Culver is real good as it is resistant to spittlebugs. Vernal is the next choice, then Ranger. The Belgian and French imports have had -some popularity. Du Puits, in particular, has been good for seedings that will not be left in for more than a year or so. It is less wilt resistant than the others and in seasons of high wilt rate it will thin out. It does have the advantage of a rapid regrowth after cutting. / The Hoosier Orchardmen’s newsletter describes an American as one who sips his Brazilian coffee from an English cup while sitting on Danish furniture after coming home from an Italian movie in his German sports car. He writes his congressman with his Japanesemade pen, demanding that something be done about all the gold leaving the country. Some of the nutritionists tell us that the kids may not like some of the non-fat dry milk. This is after the dried milk is reconstituted with water. It seems that water even though it may be safe for drinking can contain some stuff that will cause the milk to go off-flavor after it sets a day or so. This may seem unimportant but this is a major problem in disposing Os some of our excess milk supplies. The universities now are distributing educational material on how to add water to dried milk and retain its quality. If our dried milk market can be retained or expanded it will be a good stabilizer for our market during peak periods. Historically, butter has done this job but with that market on its way downhill, the dried product has become more important.

The seed cleaners operated by the county seed improvement association will begin on seed oats about March 1. Sam Rhoades and Dale Sponseller are the operators and will set up a schedule for each township. We will keep you informed as to the date they will be in your township. Last year they cleaned approximately 40,000 bushels of oats, soybeans and wheat for seeding on farms in this county. Anyone wanting cleaning done early should contact the operator in their area, to make arrangements for it. Mr. Rhoades will be equipped to inoculate soybeans. On the sandy land of the east side of the county this will probably pay as well as anything as the inoculant will speed up the formation of nitrogen producing nodules on' the

any women. He also said he was sorry and he only did it to get away from his problems. But that’s an excuse because we don’t have that many problems. When I asked him where he went, he named two bars. I searched the car that night and found a clean T-shirt, his wedding ring and school ring in the glove compartment. He said he took off the rings when he was repairing the car and when I questioned him about the T-shirt, he said he had on two T-shirts because he was sweating so much. I tried to believe him but I can’t because now that I think back, he has been acting queer for some time. Three months ago he came home 3 or 4 times with lipstick on his shirts. I knew that a couple of times it could have been mine but I know for sure one of them was not. We have two small children and have been married 3 years. Do you believe from what I have told you that he is cheating? Mrs. W.J.G. Dear Mrs. W.J.G.: I doubt it. He’s most likely a victim of circumstances. A man doesn’t need many problems to want to “get away”—just one—and it could be you. Get off the “cheating” kick. You may give him ideas he never had before. * • « Dear Amy: Eight months ago I broke up with a guy whom I liked very much because we fought like cats and dogs. I still like him more than ever, but he tells me he’s going to get engaged to a girl whom he has been seeing for only two weeks. He can’t be serious ~ . can he??? I’m sorry I broke off with him but I thought I didn’t care for him any more. I know better now. Up until a few weeks ago he said he loved me but now he’s supposed to be getting engaged. I think he is trying to play hard to get because that’s what I was doing for eight months. What’s your ‘opinion? I need help badly. Sorry Me Dear Sorry: He could be very serious! But it remains to be seen. Next time you fall for a guy, be kittenish. Don’t act like a cat or treat him like a dog and you won’t be out on a limb. • • • Please address all letters to: Amy Adams c/o This Newspaper For a personal reply enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope.

roots. The price for inoculation will be about a quarter per bushel. Over a period of years you can expect a yield increase of from one to three bushels per acre by inoculating. Our county judge has announced the date for the referendum of the school reorganization as proposed by tfre reorganization committee. Inis may be as important a vote as we have made for some time as it is a decision whether or not to revise our school systems rather drastically. We will have a certain amount of emotionalism involved and the side issues often become more important than the basic issue. Some people will be voting on such things as location, transportation, tax advantage rather than upon educational changes. We should remember that a boy goes to high school four years and then works for\ about 50. The school should prepare him to do a pretty good job and if he is going to be inconvenienced or at a disadvantage, it is perhaps better that this occurs for four years than for 50 years. This is to say that regardless of location or how long he has to ride the bus, he should have a good school. Our world is full of unskilled people. Some of them can live pretty cheaply. We are now in competition with all of them. About two-thirds of all our local taxes goes for schools. The thing we try to buy with that is good education. Just fair education is not enough anymore.

State Farm Families Repay $5,964,626 To U. S. Farmers Home Adm. In 1961

Indiana farm families repaid $5, 964,626 in principal and interest on U. S. Farmers Home Administration loans last year, John W. King, the agency’s state director, announced in Indianapolis, today. A total of 147 Indiana families completely repaid their loans in 1961. ' / Mr. King said the Farmers Home Administration loan program Is an outstanding example of those USDA activities producing large returns to the U. S. Treasury which nearly balance out initial cost. Mr. King said the repayment record of Indiana farm families demonstrated their willingness to make sacrifices now In order to de* velop sound, and efficient farms for the future.

Quirks in the law often confuse the layman. There are even times when the bar and the bench are puzzled. And not infrequently both attorneys and the courts differ in their interpretations of the law. Technicalities may arise in the area of public notices, or legal advertising, but not often. One of these peculiar situations resulted when a professional man traded a building lot he owned on a piece of rental property. lie had a clear title to the lot on which some assessments were due for street paving, sidewalks and similar improvements. To make sure he was entirely in the clear, he wrote a check for the taxes then due as well as for the assessments to date. But he made the mistake of writing the check to the broker on his assurance that he would take care of the payment, instead of making it direct to the county treasurer. To make a long story short, the broker unfortunately went into bankruptcy and the payee’s money went “down the drain.” After a while, in due course, his name was published in a local newspaper as a delinquent taxpayer although he was innocent. When some of his friends learned of it, they joshed him about it. Still worse, after consulting several attorneys, he learned that because of the technicalities involved it would take an act of the legislature to clear his name. His friends believed his story, of course, but he suffered a lot of good natured kidding. Even this legal accident proved again the power of the public notice.
