Make Good Choice MAKE GOOD CHOICE .. .. The first action of either of the two Kosciusko county school boards recently named by judge Seth Rowdabaugh was taken last week by the Lakeland school board. The action was the naming of Lewis S. Immel as superintendent of the new school unit for a two-year term. Actually, the Lakeland school board is picking up the remainder of his contract with the Turkey Creek Metropolitan School, now a part of the Lakeland Community School Corporation. This early action of the Lakeland school board has been widely praised in the Lakeland,school district. Those who know anything about

Back Os The Gas Pumps

A motorist drives into a service station and says “fill ’er up.” Meters spin as the gas rushes from the hose into the tank. One shows how many gallons are delivered. Another shows the price But there’s a big story behind all this that meters can’t tell. They don’t tell our motorist, for instance, that, on a national average, gasoline is subject to a 50 per cent sales tax — far more than the applying to them as out-and-out luxuries, much less necessities. And they can’t tell him that the price he pays reflects the cost of exploring for crude oil; of getting the oil to the surface and moving it to a refinery which may be thousands of miles away; of converting it into gasoline and transporting it by rail tank car, pipeline, barge and truck into every hamlet in America; of establishing

TAX RELIEF —I have received encouraging news from the treasury that tax revision— and possible reductions in rates—will be suggested late this year. I had written to inquire the attitude of the Treasury Deparment toward my plan to reduce the tax rate in each bracket by two per cent. It was in response to this request that Acting Secretary Henry Fowler wrote of the plans to revise the'tax structure. FIANACE COMMIT T E E—- — in Finance Committee continues to center on changes in the Social Security Law, chiefly on proposed expansion of programs to aid the blind as suggested by my amendments and on the Tax Bill of 1962. Principle arguments on the tax measure revolve around the proposal to withhold taxes due to dividends and interest and on the investment tax credit for industry. Most of our mail—about 15,000 letters — has dealt with dividend and interest withholding. This is not a new tax. It is only a suggested method for collecting taxes due under old laws. Treasury estimates more than $1 billion is escaping collection because those who receive dividends and interest are not paying what is due. COMMERCE COMMITTEE — I have been conducting hearings in the Commerce Committee on a quality stabilization bill. In addition to promoting quality and price stabilization favored by small businessmen generally, the resolution would crack down on certain deceptive trade practices and strengthen rights to trademarks and brand names. LINCOLN BOYHOOD NATIONAL MEMORIAL — Interior Secretary Stewart Udall will be the main speaker at the dedication of the Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial, first attraction in Indiana under the National Park Service. The dedication will be at the site of the Memorial in Spencer county on July 10 about mid-af-ternoon. Details are being worked out with Congressman Winfield Denton, who together with me Secured passage of the bill creating this park area. TEACHING OPPORTUNITIES — Recently I reported on opportunities for teachers to get scholarships for Asian studies. Miss Martha Herzog of Marioh took the tip and has received such a scholarship. For those interested in teaching opportunities in Latin

Pollard Copyright 1960 (No. 38 in a Series) THE WIDOW’S PLIGHT “ROAD CONSTRUCTION AHEAD” (No. 39 in a Series) In driving along the highway, the motorist often comes upon a warning sign that reads “Road construction ahead” or some equivalent. Sometimes it states that this makes the highway legally closed to traffic, but explains that traffic is maintained and the motorist may proceed, or words to that effect. In essence, such a sign, erected some distance ahead of the section where the construction or improvement is in progress, is a form of public notice. The sign puts the motorist on notice as to what to expect. Often he is told that he may proceed at his own risk. Being in a perpetual hurry most drivers seem willing to take this chance. In principle a public notice or legal advertisement published in a local newspaper has much in common with the highway warning sign described. It may not be exactly a warning, but it puts the public or specific individuals on notice as to a proposed action and gives them an opportunity to look to their rights in the matter. Public notice, then, whether posted or published in a newspaper of paid general circulation, is an important safeguard to the American way of life. Mr. and Mrs. Donald Logan of Goshen called on Mrs. Shirley Clayton, Milford, on Memorial Day afternoon. The Logans had earlier attended open house for her brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Haab, who were observing their silver wedding anniversary.

school administration know there are many details that need attending to before the new school board actually takes office on July 1 of this year. The fact that a superintendent was named early is the credit of the new board. Superintendent Immel is eminently qualified for the post he has been named to. He is a native of New Paris and has been with the Syracuse school since 1951. He holds a master’s degree, but what’s far more important than his local residency for many years, is his forward thinking in matters of school administration, and his very fair approach to such matters. We hasten to add our plaudits to this move.

and supplying tens of thousands of service stations on a 24-hour-a-day basis, and of selling the product at a price which will enable the dealer to run his station at a fair profit. And they can’t tell him about competition — that if a customer doesn’t like one service station for any reason, he is free to take his business elsewhere. Finally, the meters can’t tell you about gasoline prices. Since 1950, as we all know, the cost of just about everything has risen substantially. But the average price of gas at the pumps in 1961, before the sales taxes, was 20.5 cents a gallon — which is less than half a penny more than the average 1950 price. That’s even less than the price of charged water. There’s a whale of a story back of those gas pumps.

Work Begins On Model Homes Construction was begun this week on a model house, which will be used as an office and display for Idea Homes, the new division of the North Webster Lumber Co., North Webster, Ind. The model is being built on highway 13, 1 mile south of North Webster. It will be a three bedroom home called the Tulip Hill. According to Clark A. Davis, general manager of the Ideal Homes, the Tulip Hill has a wide front porch with wrought iron pillars that bespeaks the graciousness of French planation homes of the old south. It has double width windows with sliding panels that lets in lots of light. The kitchen is arranged for easy meal preparation and has room for a dinette set for family meals. A service entrance from the carport on the side of the home cuts down on front door traffic. Bedrooms have complete privacy with their own hall. Each bedroom is large enough for twin beds, allowing a variety of furniture arrangements, and has deep closets. Two extra closets and linen closet supply plenty of storage space. Mr. Davis pointed out that this is only one of the 26 models currently available. “We chose this home for a model because it has proved to be extremely popular in most areas in the midwest.” However, we want to be sure that everyone understands that this is a “model” and that where we are building the home on route 13 is a “display” site. All of our houses can be built on a person’s own lot anywhere. And through our association with the institute for essential housing, these homes can be financed on their lot anywhere, with no down payment, unlimited financing! The model is expected to be completed sometime in early to mid-July. Mr. Davis explained that anyone wishing to know more about the homes prior to this time con stop by the lumber company in North Webster. MARTHA CIRCLE IN RECENT MEETING Christian Families’ Responsibilities was the lesson given by Mrs. Court Slabaugh at the recent meeting of the Martha circle of the Women’s Society of World Service of the Calvary EUB church which was held at the church with 16 members present. Circle leader Mrs. Edith Palmer presided over the business meeting after which refreshments were served by hostesses Mrs. Wilma Hire and Miss Florence Moore. June hostesses will be Mrs. Calvin Knapp and Mrs. Loren Longenbaugh.

SHOULD THE BRIDE WEAR WHITE

Dear Amy: Can a woman who has had an intimate relationship with a man before she is married get married in white and have a large church wedding? Betty Dear Betty: No, she shouldn't, but suit your* self. (Why not wear a suit!) • • • Dear Amy: I was married when I was 14 years old. I now have a little girl four months old. Well, the problem is my husband wants me to go back to school. I want to go to work although I don’t have to. But going back to school married I would seem out of place. So my husband said if I don’t go back to school, I am going to find myself pregnant again and that’s something I don’t want. I am almost sixteen now and have a job waiting for me. So, should I go back to school or should I go to work? B.J. Dear 8.J.: Go back to school as your husband wishes, since, in my opinion, he is right. However, not day school. Attend an adult evening school. You have a job, a very important one: taking care of your daughter! Stay home and do a good job! • • • Dear Amy: My little brother is two years old and he loves toy guns. Every time when company comes he sticks the gun at them and says, “Bang you’re dead,” and he feels their pockets and says, “Got any money?” I don’t mind him playing with toy guns but he embarrasses me half to death. Could you give me an idea how to stop him shooting up our company?, Stephen Dear Stephen: That’s your Mom’s problem but you can help by playing the part of the “Marshall.” Ahd you know his job. Check the guns on the way in and pick ’em up on the way out. , . the door. • • * Dear Amy: You asked “Another Prisoner of

Love” to read you loud and clear, well, I can’t say if she did but I sure did. I am that one woman you seemed to think didn’t exist. I never fail to tell my husband how much I think of him for providing for me and our children. We’ve had some darn hard times and I know a good deal of the male populous from our generation would have ditched us and headed for the hills, but he stayed and kept right on plugging. In my book he’s tops and I never fail to let him know even when things are low. Sincerely, Remindful P.S. Where can I write you in the future? Dear Remindful: Your letter is a gem. Write me in care of this newspaper as you did in the past. I receive all mail addressed to me that way. • • * Dear Amy: I belong to a well-known organization for girls. We are having a few affairs in the near future—one of which is a dance. There is a boy who is slightly more than just a friend to me whom I am planning to ask. But my parents feel that even though I am asking him, he should pay for the tickets. My friends and I feel that if a girl asks a boy, she is responsible for paying. I don’t know who is right. Whether my friends and I are right—or my parents. Maybe they (my parents) don’t realize that times have changed since they went to a dance. In Need of an Answer Dear In Need: When it is necessary for a girl to ask a boy to a dance (which should be very seldom—her prom or a likely occasion), she pays for the tickets. He foots the expenses for everything else: transportation, flowers, refreshments, etc. This has been considered proper for as far back as I can remember. • • • Please address all letters to: AMY ADAMS C/0 THIS NEWSPAPER For a personal reply enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope.

A walk along grassy paths brings you to the rustic bridge over Trail creek, and on the far side-you encounter the Polish garden, the Canadian, the French, Greek, Scotch, with its famous cradle hedges; Norwegian garden, English, Early American, and so forth. m Within each garden are the gay flowers of that nation, along with their favorite shrubs and trees. “The Polish garden has a wide variety of flowers,” says Mrs. Erret, “because in Poland, land is valuable, and the Polish housewife must make the most of her flower patch. Each month brings new flowers.” Most of the gardeners at the Friendship Gardens are of Polish descent, and show a rare skill with flowers. “The flowers know when they are loved,” says Mrs. Ehret.

These countries in 1960 had an estimated population of 172 million living in an area of slightly more than 451,000 square miles. This compares to a total U. S. population
