Well Deserved Appointment

Carlton Jones of Claypool has resigned his post as chairman of the Kosciusko County Democratic central committee and committeemen and women will meet tonight (Thursday) to select a replacement. His appointment to a federal post with the Indiana State Plan for Civil Defense Adult Education program is a deserving appointment. Jones is well qualified for the post, having served a number of years with the state department of public instruction. Mr. Jones has been head of the Democratic party in Kosciusko County for the past 15 years, and, all things being equal, has done a remarkable job. Under

Boy Scout Week, February 7 To 13

, Boy Scout week, marking the 52nd of the Boy Scouts of America, will be observed from Wednesday, Feb. 7, through Tuesday, Feb. 13. The purpose of Scouting “shall be to promote, through organization, and cooper" ation with other agencies, the ability of boys to do things for themselves and others, to train them in Scoutcraft and to teach them patriotism/ courage, selfreliance and kindred virtues.” The emphasis on this year’s Boy Scout Week is on the Boy Scout Family. Scouting contributes to family* in America and recognizes the contribution families make both to Scouting and the American way of life. i During Boy Scout Week “typical” Scouting families will be recognized.

Dragging Feet

The railroad industry “is in a situation serious enough to curl your hair.” And this is the year when Congress should act to prevent the financially stricken railroads from passing the point of no return. - - So speaks Daniel P. Loomis, for the railroads. Back of his statement and warning is a mass of irrefutable evidence. For instance, last year was the best ever recorded in the nation in general economic activity — but the railroad, industry’s net earnings were down to a mere 2 per cent. Numbers of railroads actually ran in the red, and a big one was forced into receivership. Mr. Loomis is not a pessimist. He

Here are some of the highlights and general conclusions. f Foreign issues, the threat of war, dominated the first 12 months of the Kennedy administration, rather than domestic issues. The President has proved much more conservative than the Democratic platform and his speeches in the campaign would indicate. Readers of this column who are narrowly partisan, will get little consolation from the fact that most of the editors gave Kennedy more plus than minus marks for his first 12 months. They feel that he sobered up and

found his job was tougher than he had expected when he met Khrushchev at the Vienna conference. He faced a reality that the Soviet boss was both shrewd and dangerous.

The Editors mainly agreed that the turning point in foreign affairs of the Kennedy first 12 months came when he took a shellacking in the public mind over the fiasco of the Cuban invasion. FIRM BERLIN STAND IS APPLAUDED BY EDITORS The editorials agreed chiefly that Kennedy’s stand on Berlin was firm and courageous and that we won a round in world public opinion by such show of. strength. They feel that the President’s South American trip was brilliantly executed. There is feeling that although some Cabinet members insist on making jackasses out of themselves, the President acted in a dignified manner in dealing with them. The appointments of Me Namara, McCone and Ribicoff have elicited general commendation. There is a feeling that Kennedy will still have to do business with a congress that although Democratic in number, is run by a powerful coalition of southern and northern conservatives. Having gone through a bumbling stage, there is prediction that Kennedy will get increased public support of his foreign affairs program. There is one thing upon which the commentators agree, and that is concerning Jacqueline Kennedy, wife of the President. A gallant Richmond, Va., editor, otherwise critical, said “Jackie Kennedy was the closest thing to a national dream girl since the Sweetheart of Sigma Chi." Let’s take a look at the loyal opposition among editors in giving Kennedy plus and minus marks on his first 12 months in office.

ilies will join their sons in Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, and Exploring at pot luck dinners. Special Boy Scout Week ceremonies will be held in Washington, D. C., where the movement was incorporated on February 8, 1910. It is planned to have a Scout family broadcast on radio and television and tell how Scouting has helped family life in America. Boy Scout Sunday will be observed February 11 in 59 churches within, the area of the Pioneer Trails Council. Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and Explorers will attend services in uniform with their parents. It is expected that many sermons will stress the importance of the family in American life.

says, “We are encouraged by the concern being shown by the Administration. We are also heartened by the great increase in public understanding of the railroads’ difficulties and the public demand for remedial action by Congress.” But time is running out — and fast. : The railroads seek only a fair deal — specifically, freedom from discriminatory regulation and taxation, and the right to diversify and offer a more complete transportation service. Subsidized competition presents another problem that demands remedial action. It is difficult to understand why Qongress drags its feet wheriut faces a situation so dangerous to the nation’s welfare.

down in southeastern asia, including Laos, Vietnam, and Kantanga, and of talking too much. He is considered by some as being soft upon NATO allies, some of whom are concerned more with making money than supplying troops for mutual defense. The President is criticized by some editors for reportedly trying to seize powers delegated to congress, in regard to the European Common Market. This is an impending congressional battle of great depth. They claim the President has not been overly concerned with the federal budget going into the red. They attack his insistence on federal aid to schools and neglect of unemployment. One editor said the picture is generally bleak, with Mr. Kennedy drawing in pastels—a pale gray of indecisiveness abroad, and a pale pink of liberalism here at home. He makes some eloquent speeches, but they turn out to be all foam and no beer. His record is not even full of sound and fury, his record mainly is full of sound alone. He is the poorest President since Harding, perhaps the poorest since Arthur. All the editors hold . hope for President Kennedy in 1962.

SHE’S WILLING TO BUY’ HIM

Dear Amy: “I’ve been married twice and divorced. While I’m not against all women and still desire female company, I have no intentions of marrying again. One woman I am seeing is extremely wealthy and lonesome. She has tried every female trick to land me. The last offer was, if I marry her, she’ll buy me an overcoat and have it lined with hundred dollar bills! What do you think I should do? Marty Dear Marty: It’s the best offer you’ll ever get! (How do you look in green?) • • • Dear Amy: Last August, my daughter and I were invited tot visit with young friends who had returned from Europe. Present were two other persons, namely a priest (in a casual short sleeve sport shirt) and his friend, a layman. The father is related to one of my inlaws and happened to have attended the same school I had as a child (he is my age) although this was the first time we met. When he and the other gentleman were ready to take leave of our host and hostess, my daughter stood up in respect, but I remained seated. The expression on my friends’ faces gave me to believe that I had committed a grave social error, so I later explained myself (by letter) that since the priest was in layman dress and being his equal—at least in age—l did not think I was disrespectful. I also explained that any ‘mistake’ on my part would have no reflection on his relationship with them. Obviously it must have because the young man, having always been the congenial person, is most aloof since, and walks out of the room when I visit. Please set my mind at ease. Do I owe the priest an apology? I’m not of his faith so do you suppose my friends misinterpreted? My denomination had no bearing on my point of view. Mrs. F. K. P. Dear Mrs. F. K. P.: You did commit a social error in that you did not rise (in respect for his calling) when the

It looks pretty bad on poor land. The place for ft is on real high fertility soil where lodging is a problem. The successful maintenance of high yielding, high quality legumes is dependent on regular program of top dressing. Your car won’t run, forever unless you at least add as much gas as you use. The same is true of forage crops. We will be hearing a lot more about hog cholera control in the next few years. There are both state and national boards who are working on this problem. Most states have progressed to the point where there is a complete, rapid reporting system of all new cases. We have a more or less informal method of handling this. Our state veterinarian is not required to keep an up to date record of cholera but without a doubt has some kind of a record of new cases. Several of the major - hog producing states have a program of quarantines on farms where cholera is present. This is under consideration in this state and Illinois. The Estate of lowa has a new quarantine law on cholera that went into effect the first of the year and four herds were placed under quarantine in the first ten days. We will watch their program with a great deal of interest. I would assume that if it is success-' ful then it will be a pattern that

priest took his leave. However, I’m of the opinion that the priest is above taking exception to your error and that the young man in question is the one to whom your apologies should be directed since he has acted ‘cod’ since the incident occurred. • • • Dear Amy: I’m fifteen and I want to start to use a little rouge on my cheeks, but my mother says, “No, it’s not proper.” When does a girl start to use rouge? Aileen Dear Aileen: When she stops blushing! • • * Dear Amy: I have a very dear girl friend who’s ready for a nervous .breakdown because she’s worried about her house and her boy friend. Let me explain: Last summer she bought outside house paint and he helped her pick up some combination windows (which she paid for). He painted her house and put on the combinations. Now he claims if she breaks up with him, he will put a lien against her house for the hours he put in plus take off all the combinations. She never at any Sromised to pay him for the ut he says that doesn’t anything because he can submit a bill claiming he legally make good his ? An interesting fact is she {le and he is a married man! A Girl Friend’s Friend Dear Friend: His threats are as phony as he, but tell your girl friend to total the hours he labored on her house, pay him by check marked “PAID IN FULL” and wash her hands of the entire matter . . . and him.

that the budget of the Department of Agriculture is big and because it is, editorial writers criticize all phases of agriculture. Many writers have apponted themselves as saviors of taxes as long as they can point the accusing finger at someone else. Farmers are fairly well removed from writers in New York, so it is easy to point to farm people as a horrible example. Many of our smaller papers subscribe to editorial writing services and often use material that they would not consider writing in their own community. Some of it is very sarcastic. My case in point is a column in one of the Fort Wayne papers last week. It was a syndicated column. Two accusations were made that hurt. One was that farmers are income tax cheaters. The other thing was that farmers beat the road tax by using “fuel oil.” Another of his brilliant observations was that people on farms can live cheaper because they don’t have to pay rent on houses. This kind of reporting is a serious mistake. My idea of freedom of the press is not freedom to try to harm someone else. The state Holstein convention and sale. was well attended at Warsaw last week.
