Regional Comes Next

Basketball fans in Kosciusko county are proud of the Mentone Bulldogs — and rightly so, after the excellent showing they made at the sectional tourney last Saturday at Columbia City. Mentone was beaten only by Bourbon in all of their 25 games played this season. Bourbon is a few miles west of Mentone in Marshall county and will also make the trip to Elkhart Northside gym to take part in the regional.

Image - Not Papers Fading, Says Kilgore

LAWRENCE, Kas. — The image of the American newspaper is changing from the mass-minded, big city sheet to the lively, local community newspaper. This was the theme of the William Allen White Lecture given recently at the University of Kansas by Bernard Kilgore, president of the Wall Street Journal and recipient of the 13th annual National Award for Journalism Merit of the William Allen White Foundation. Kilgore said the image, not the American newspaper itself, has been fading. He said. “The newspaper image of the future will be the lively, local community newspaper which performs, first of all, the service of pulling its own community together with information about itself and takes a position of editorial leadership in the affairs of that community.” He described the old image as a “mass-minded metropolitan newspaper — a paper for the ‘common man’ as the politicians put it.” This was a newspaper dominated by showman and promoters, and the key figure on the scene was the publisher, not the editor, he added. The newspaper itself has an image of sensationalism in both selection and

Billions For Accounting

The following editorial is reproduced from The American Press, an independent magazine for home, town newspapers: “It would be interesting to know how many billions of dollars are poured into the offices of accountants and lawyers for purpose of figuring out income taxes. “It would also be interesting to know what percentage of the money collected by the government is paid out for keeping tax records and making.tax investigations. “Certainly if the money spent for these purposes could somehow be steered into the U. S. Treasury, it would balance the budget for years to come. “We dpn’t know just how the neces-

Raines, highest officer of the Indiana area, Methodist church, has warned Hoosiers of possibility that communism may destroy the democracies of the world. Bishop Raines, six times has

gone to front lines of the cold war in Asia, Europe and has left for South America. I taped highlights of his views when he addressed 1,000 business and professional leaders. He spoke at the “Cold War Strateg y Seminar” staged by the Indianapolis Cham-

emphasis of the news, he stated. “It has a reputation for irresponsibility; it relies, heavily on pretty light entertainment and cheap features,” he continued. The lecturer expressed his beliefs that the “big brassy metropolitan newspaper has all but come to the end of its era.” Changes in our social structure have been taking place, Kilgore explained. These include higher levels of education and the breaking up of big cities into “sub-cities and sub-towns and sub-neigh-borhoods . . . with interests of their own, shopping centers of their own and newspapers of their own. The community newspaper “will do well in covering state and regional news and will bring in the best report on national and international affairs that it can afford,” he said. “It will comment on world affairs, because its readers will expect their editor to have opinions and ideas. “But it will not try to do everything everyday that the weekly publication can do better on a weekly schedule ... I don’t believe that a good community newspaper, putting first things first, should be scolded because it does not try to meet these national publications head on.”

sary simplification could be brought about to make the paying of taxes an easy and understandable operation, but we think it is about time an effort in that direction was made. Each year we hear that the Senate and House committees on taxation are planning to re-write the tax laws, and each year nothing happens. “It President Kennedy is looking for ways to stimulate business, here is a field which is crying for attention. We are not necessarily asking for tax cuts, but for understandable, simple, ‘do it yourself’ tax reports. We would all pay our taxes more cheerfully if we didn’t have that extra burden of paying people to interpret the laws and fill in the reports for us.”

Bishop Raines’ views. He said: “I consider Communism to be the most virulent and dangerous social, moral and spiritual disease, ever to infect the blood stream of humanity. I see, as yet, no sure sign that this threat to mankind’s freedom will not destroy democracy. I believe its dark and evil shadow is still advancing. I do not think the American people

are sufficiently alert to the danger. They often fail to understand the nature of its threat and the ways in which it can be successfully met and defeated. “In 60 years, communism grew from a handful of people to control 800,000,000 people and onpthird of the earth’s surface. No other movement in history has gained such power, over so many

HER "POLISH” IS SHOWING

Dear Amy: I must have your advice as soon as possible. My lady friend ‘dolls up’ like no other lady I know. She uses colored nail polish to the point that I feel ridiculous when we are out socially. On the Fourth of July, she polishes her nails red, white and blue. On Christmas, they were red and green. On New Year’s, gold and silver. I told her I can’t stand this nonsense, but she doesn’t think there’s anything wrong in it. Now St. Paddy’s day is coming up and the green polish is ready. How can I stop her from putting herself on exhibition? Len Dear Len: 'i By telling her as far as you two are concerned, the future looks pretty ‘black.’ (It’s too bad that all the polish some girls have they wear on their fingernails!) * • * Dear Amy: ' Recently my son’s-in-law grandmother died, and she lived in another city. We had only seen her 2 or 3 times and didn’t know her very well. However, three families of ours wired a nice bouquet of flowers to the funeral and sent a, sympathy card to the bereaved. Not knowing how to address the card, I sent it to her son, Mr. John . Smith and family instead of Mr. and Mrs. John Smith. If I was in error on the name, weren’t they, too, in error in not acknowledging our floral offering? A Reader Dear Reader: You were not in error. It was perfectly all right to address the card this way. , I don’t know how long you have been waiting for an acknowlegment but perhaps it will still arrive. It takes some people longer than others to get around to saying “Thanks.” If they don’t get around to it, THEY are very much in error! ♦ • • Dear Amy: I have been attracted to a man in my office.

NATURE OF COMMUNISM EXPLAINED BY BISHOP “Communism denies morality, lives by expediency, and resorts to lying, deceit, torture, starvation, imprisonment, or murder of millions to gain its ends. “It feeds on revolutions, such as that in Cuba, promises people freedom, food, medical care, education, and justice. Once in power jt junks all these promises. Once in power, no successful counterrevolution has been found. Its effective system of propaganda shuts off all news and ideas that disagree. It has corrupted the words of ‘peace’ and ‘co-existence., It is a new and false religion, aimed at replacing Christianity. “Ours is a revolutionary world. Hundreds of millions of people went to bed hungry last night. Hundreds of thousands of children are blind because there are not enough vitamins in their mother’s body to make formation of an eye possible. One-third of the world’s population has two-thirds of the world’s doctors. In the region where Mr. Tshombe of Africa grew up, live 60,000 people who must depend on all the medical care they get from one missionary doctor. Every year thousands of parents bring their children to mission schools and turn away desolate for lack of room. WHAT CAN WE DO NOW TO FIGHT COMMUNISM? In Indonesia 85 million people live on watery stretch of 3,000 islands, speaking 200 different languages with 17 cultural patterns. “Revolution is sweeping America, another kind, that of automation and increased technology. Almost every American home is reached and influenced by television, radio, papers and magazines. We should not be afraid of revolution. ■ “Dean Rusk, Secretary of State, spoke of Cuba as a mighty menace. Cuba has become an arm of the communist Russia in our hemisphere. Revolution Will come in other Latin American countries. “What can we do? Legislation and democratic constitutions are useful and necessary, but not enough. Freedom begins in the human heart and mind. It requires first of all a high faith in human beings as potential children of God. “If freedom and democracy are to survive, we must have a combination of military, economic and spiritual strength. At the same time it must not lead to materialism or militarism. We must have military economic and spiritual strength to serve as dykes to protect us from the floodwaters of communism. “We must know how to combat communism. We must discuss controversial subjects openly and fully. We must be a morally strong nation attentive to the voice of God. The day is dangerous, the task difficult, victory will require discipline, and the future of mankind depends upon our decision and conduct.”

They have 3 sons and daugh-ters-in-law and I’m one of them. We really dread visiting them because all they do is preach: how to save money, how terrible we all are because our husbands bought us new homes, etc. We don’t dare go into their home with a new dress or hair-do or they say we are spending money foolishly. We are not children. We are all grown men and women, have raised families and have worked hard to do so. Dad smokes the best cigars but mother never owned a washing machine (and they are married 53 years). Their clothes are outdated, the house needs decorating so bad the sons are ashamed of going home. Dad makes us miserable. We have all gotten together and found out that our husbands are really upset and can’t sleep after spend- • ing any time there.

FARM NOTES

By DONALD FRANTZ Agriculture Extension Agent The sign up for the 1962 Feed Grain Bill started on February 26. The details are the same as last year and unless you have made some changes then your base acreage, yield index and rate per acre will be the same. The closing date for signing will be March 30. Letters were sent Friday from the county ASC office to 2,897 farmers producing corn giving them the individual rates for their farm. The base and rate figures assigned to the county didn’t change so the figures for each farm stayed the same. In general, the terms are as follows. You may comply by signing from 20 to 40 per cent of your corn base into the Feed Grain program. By complying, you become eligible for the support price. The average payment rates are $37.30 for the low township to $44.80 to the i highest. So if you have a yield index of 100 per cent in the township with a rate of $37.30, then you would receive $37.30 per acre on the first 20 per cent that you take out of production. I am not giving any other details on this as each farm has its own figure. The ASC office is located just north of the court house in Warsaw, over Schrader’s Furniture store. They have the figures on each farm and this is the place where the contracts are signed. There has been much noise made about the effectiveness or lack of it of the 1961 Feed Grain program? It seems that there are no simple solutions to complicated problems and the new legislation didn’t solve everything. Neither did the efforts of 35 years preceding it. In all fairness we must say that' the supply and demand situation on livestock feeds is in better balance than it has been. The Feed Grain program didn’t do it all but it may have helped. The cholesterol scare is turning into a real nightmare for the dairy business. Most people who know less than nothing about the real basis of the problem are grasping at anything that is said concerning the problem and animal fats are the whipping bag. Medical research has not been conclusive and the food faddists are having a field day. As this goes on advertisers are taking advantage of a bad situation and claiming their product has definite advantages because of low cholestrol building contest. In the meantime, the dairy business is losing customers each day, not because milk has been proved guilty, but because it has been accused. A well known food chemist, Dr.

F. A. Kummerow of the University of Illinois, says that protein level may be a key to the cholesterol problem. He maintains an adequate protein level will help control the build up of serum cholesterol levels and he further maintains that I the average American food supply does not contain enough substitute soft vegetable proteins to take the place of protein-rich meat, eggs 'and milk. Dr. Kummerow says that the j human body functions as a heat producing machine and as people eat more carbohydrates and fats and proteins than they need to maintain the heat and energy level then they build up fat. This is a storage process. As this is transferred from the blood to the normal place under the skin some is lost through the deposit on the artery walls. Science has not discovered why this happens. The good doctor says that until we do know some of these things, maybe we ought to eat a good wellbalanced high protein diet.

Little Chats ON Public Notice By James E. Pollard Copyright 1960 (No. 25 in a Series) Down the ages the tax gatherer has never been particularly popular. There is probably nothing personal in this. But the traditional attitude of the taxpayer doubtless stems from the onerous nature of the tax collector’s job. Taxes, both federal and local, must be gathered regularly and promptly or government with all of its varied functions would be in danger of collapse. Quickly the public itself would suffer and likely the man who is slow in paying taxes would be among the first to complain. Taxes, in essence, are not only public business, but are really everybody’s business. Some taxing units are more strict with the delinquent taxpayer than other units. For some states a scale of graduated penalties is in effect. This system has been in force for years and has been pretty effective. After some months, moreover, the property involved in delinquent taxes may be sold at public sale and the proceeds applied to the taxes. Public notices or legal advertising are used in the local newspaper to remind taxpayers of ” their impending obligations. This makes the tax business one of information, as well as one of official record. But all across the country the bona fide newspaper is an effective medium for this and hundreds of other purposes, as provided under the public notice laws.
