What Is Your Opinion? Concern is continuing to rise in Kosciuskb county regarding the proposed school consolidation issue which will be voted on in the May Bth primary election. The proposed four-corporation school plan for Kosciusko county will appear on a separate, non-political ballot for the voters’ consideration. A voter can vote on the consolidation issue and no other ballot, if he chooses, but he must be a registered voter to do so. Since there are so many divergent opinions about the issue, here’s what we’d like to do. We’d like to open our columns to air the opinions of our readers. We’ll print your letters to the editor on these conditions: 1. They must deal with the pros and

Be Careful Os Your Speech

Not many jobs in our society can be handled without words. And yet we find words used with utmost indifference, often to the point of insult. Let a person talk, and he will reveal himself educationally and morally. Speech is an index to our character. What about gossip? We have a secret, a precious morsel of news about someone, and we pass it on to another, perhaps adding, “Don’t tell it to a soul.” Old SiraCh had this advice. He said when you hear some gossip, “Keep it, you won’t burst.” But often, in just a few words, we pass on to another what we are not sure is true, “We heard it, you know!” And that precious morsel may disrupt a family, give a child a bad name or send another to jail. It is best just to keep it. We won’t burst. We spend about ten years learning

Understanding

Many times, the question is asked of some one if he understands the actions of another person. Very often, motives are judged in explaining the actions of others. This speculation is often interesting but highly treacherous. If the truth be known, it is doubtful if many of us understand completely our own actions in certain situations. The art of understanding one’s self is very difficult. Certainly there are few people who can give themselves an accurate appraisal. The ability to understand one’s own action and to understand himself is th& objective of many religions in the world, one of which is Hinduism. The Hindus believe that one of their life objectives is to be able to understand themselves.

INDIANA MOVING FORWARD TO BOTH A DEEP WATER PORT AND A SAND DUNES NATIONAL MEMORIAL. COMPROMISE BETWEEN OPPOSING GROUPS IS IN THE MAKING. COMPROMISE FOR PORT AND PARK TOO STUDIED A compromise between the contentions of those opposing the building of a deep water port at Burns Ditch , in Porter county and those favoring making the area in-

to a national sand dune memorial is far advanced. Statements of Illinois Senator! Paul H. Douglas, who is allied with the Indiana Save the Dunes group, that the Preside n t favored! making the areal into a National! Memorial, d i d| not -stand up.

Clinton Green, Administrative Assistant to the Governor, went to Washington to see if the Kennedy administration had turned thumbs down on the Bums Ditch portsite.

He found that it had not. Then the district office of the U. S. Engineering Corps, Chicago, stood firm in approval of the proposed Bums Ditch site port. The engineers said that $1.50 in benefits would be reaped from each $1 expended in building the port. Both U. S. Senator Vance Hartke, Democrat, and U. S. Senator Homer E. Capehart, Republican, hailed the engineer report as a great victory for the people of Indiana. Gov. Matthew E. Welsh met Stewart Udall, Secretary of the Interior, at Terre Haute for a long conference. The Save the Dunes and Senator Douglas groups have been trying to get Udall to knock out the port by buying the land for a memorial. Udall assured the Governor that the door had not been closed on having both a park and a port. The state is seeking $25,500,000 from the federal government to dredge, build a break water, and otherwise help toward the SBO, 000,000 proposed port. The w,hole matter is likely to go to the Budget Committee in Washington May 1. U. S. Senator Douglas was furious at the engineer report and t accused the engineering corps of joining top Indiana officials in playing politics. Douglas also lashed at the engineers as disregarding presidential policy in regard to the port. Both U. S. Senator from Indiana and the Governor feel that the matter can be adjusted to have both the port and the enlargement | at the State Dunes Park for public recreational purposes.

how to talk and another sixty years learnwhen not to talk. Any normal child learns to talk in the first ten years of his life, but it takes a smart man or woman to learn when not to talk, even after sixty years. Many magazines publish columns and articles on how to carry on a conversation. All such articles emphasize the necessity of keeping the conversation “moving.” Like a game of tennis,, we keep batting the ball around. But I never have read anything about how to keep silent. There are times when silence is golden, but there also are times when to be silent is unpolished brass. To be in a group and to let a speaker go unchallenged while he berates another person or race or religion is to leave the impression of assent. Silence under those * circumstances is not golden.

This is one of their first goals. Most of the religious doctrine taught in this section would concur that sin basically is a result of selfishness. If we are able to understand ourselves and eliminate the harmful selfish motives, we could «make our city a most desirable oasis. If we cannot understand ourseleves, it is indeed hopeless for us to try to pass judgment on others’ actions with any finality. The best we can hope for is that others act with a sense of responsibility in fairness and justice. That we ourselves do not fall into the area of motive questioning, but judge from results on an impersonal basis keeping ever most in our mind the qualities which we desire to have, namely, justice and fairness.

the matter of the European Common Market. It is not a question of whether there be a common market. It exists and it is up to the U. S. as to what it must do about joining. Our existing Reciprocal Trade Act expires next June 1. The European Common Market is going to revolutionize Indiana industry. Some j will get hurt and others will benefit. Our share of the nation’s [expanding export trade brings in $632 million dollars a year right here in Indiana. We are 10th in the nation in terms of the 1960 value of manufactured exports. The U. S. Department of Commerce “break down” of exports, shows Indiana is a big exporter of transportation equipment, nonelectrical and electrical machinery, chemicals, food, metal coal and farm products,, among others. Indiana’s exports now provide employment for 310,259 workers in industry and. 15,700 farm workers. There are 312 Indiana manufacturing concerns, each of which exported more than $25,000 in goods in 1960. Indiana had a share of $149.3 million in the nation’s $5 billion farm export trade in 1960. There is another angle, that of the raw materials, such as manganese, chrome, antomony, mercury, asbestos, mica, nickel and other Indiana imports to carry on its industry. * FBI BATS HIGH IN MOST WANTED CRIMINAL TAKE March 14, 1950, the FBI started its listing of 10 most wanted fugitives. Nine of that original 10 have been captured. The overall batting average of the FBI on other 10 most wanted lists since, is .939.

WHO WOULDN’T BE SICK AND TIRED!

Dear Amy: I have been married for nine years. It is the second marriage for both of us. Two years after we were married my husband became seriously ill. I went to work as a waitress to help with the finances and have been working ever since. My husband recovered enough to go back to work but he never did. His doctor says he should get a job to give him something to do or else he will die (from boredom). He is so used to me working that he has become very lazy and every time I suggest that he get something to do he puts on a real act about how sick he is. I’m so tired of working all hours of the day and night, I don’t know what it is to sit down and relax anymore. Is there anyway you know of to get him off ‘his you know what’ because I can’t take it much longer. P. S. He smokes a box of cigars and drinks a fifth of liquor a Week ’ Sick and Tired Dear Tired: A man that is physically capable of working and chooses to loaf doesn’t deserve a wife, much less one that keeps him in cigars and liquor. Cut out his luxuries and stop treating him in the manner to which he has become accustomed. If he doesn’t like it he might get off of ‘his you know what’ and try to earn a dollar like any decent man would. • • • Dear Amy: Last year a neighbor had a very attractive nephew visiting her for the summer. We were very friendly and had some nice dates and I thought he really liked me, but after he left, he didn’t even write. Now he’s coming back for a few months and I’d like to know how to act towards him? Beth Dear Beth: Greet him warmly and pleasantly. Then let him take over. If be asks for a date— accept—but don’t give up your year-round pals. Summer interludes are fragile things on which to try to build a permanent romance. • • • Dear Amy: What do you do about a conOs these arrests 63 credits go to civilian co-operation and 25 captures are credited to newspaper publicity.

stant borrower? I have a neighbor that is at my door every day of the week to borrow something or other. She usually returns what she borrows when she gets around to it, but that’s not the idea. She is getting on my nerves. Last week she had the nerve to borrow five dollars and this time I haven’t seen her since. Shall I go to her house and ask for my money back or chalk it up to experience? Angry Dear Angry: The class yell of the school of experience is “OUCH.” If you lend a neighbor like yours five dollars and you never see her again it’s worth it! • • • Dear Amy: I share my apartment with a woman who is very inquisitive about my affairs—mail, visitors, telephone calls, etc. Recently a man called to see me on confidential business. For the sake of privacy, I spoke to him in the hall and was later criticized for it. Under the circumstances what else could I do? L.L.G. Dear L. L. G.: Nosy people must be treated with rudeness. They know no other language. Your friends, business or social, should be welcome in your home, even though it entails telling your room-mate to exit If she doesn’t like it, find yourself a more congenial person to share your apartment • • • Dear Amy: I am involved in a very delicate situation and maybe you can help me out. I am engaged to a sweet fellow and we have set the date. I thought I loved him until I started dating his best friend. Now I don’t know. How can I be sure before I take the big step? In Love? Dear In Love: Your code of conduct leaves much to be desired. If you find pleasure in the company of a man ; other than your ‘sweet fellow* . you’re not ready for the ‘big step’ —at least not with him. • ♦ ♦ Please address all letters to: AMY ADAMS c/o THIS NEWSPAPER For a personal reply enclose an addressed stamped envelope. i one state where the law provides for prompt collection of local taxes. It also has a rising scale of penalties for being late in the payment of such taxes. An example of this was supplied by two nearby towns in .an ocean resort area. In both town’s meetings were held the same day at which, among other things, the voters decided on the method of collection. In one town it was decided that no interest would be charged oh taxes paid by October 1 of that year. But interest from September 1 was to be charged at the rate of 6 per cent on all taxes paid after i October 1. In the other the townspeople ■ voted to charge interest on uni paid taxes after August 31. If paid

in September, the rate was 1 per cent, if in October 2 per cent, if in November 3 per cent, and 5 per cent thereafter. Maine also permits early sale of property if delinquent taxes are not paid. In the case of both towns referred to, notice was given of the tax collection schedule, with penalties, in the . local newspaper. This was in line with the principle that persons at interest have a basic right to be put on notice of any action, or proposed action, affecting their rights. As in hundreds of legal situations, the newspaper is a preferred medium for this kind of notice.
