What's Wrong With Medicare?
The editorial writers of conservative midwestem newspapers, egged on by the American Medical Association, are having a field day telling their readers all the dark, gloomy things that are wrong with the medicare program being proposed by the Kennedy Administration in the KingAnderson bill. Just what’s wrong with medicare? Ask anyone who is aged with little or no income, faced with exorbitant medical bills, and you’ll find they don’t think anything is wrong with medicare. The doctors, whose ethics forbids them to advertise, now turn to newspapers, radio and television to scream abput the horrors of medicare, but those
Learning By Doing
» An old axiom says that the best way to learn is to do. And learning by doing is the cornerstone of the Junior Achievement Program. Junior achievement is a nation-wide program designed to acquaint high school students with business operations and practices. The boys and girls involved gain knowledge of the. free enterprise system by organizing and operating their own small-scale businesses. Each Junior Achievement company is guided by a team of advisors representing a sponsoring business firm. But their role is strictly one
Where History Was Made
Summer is on the land again, and the great American pastime of loading up the family car and taking off for far places is about due to get into full swing. Some will spend their time in carfree relaxation at beach and mountain resorts. • Others will seek not only relaxation, but a little fore knowledge of the places and events that mark the colorful and inspiring history of the United States. One area which is well worth such an exploratory trip is Long Island, New York, which was settled well over three hundred years ago by Dutch and English pioneers. As islands go, Long Island Is, without a doubt, one of the most unique in the world. Its western end is an important part of the world’s greatest city —- New York. It extends 120 miles out into the Atlantic Ocean. It long southeastern shore, exposed to balmy gulf stream breezes, gives Long Island a climate unexcelled on the North American continent, and offers beautiful beaches for swim-
By DONALD FRANTZ Agriculture Extension Agent This is the season for plant diseases to cause trouble. It is also a time of year when many other things can be observed. We have had many calls on two thjngs the past few weeks that people have feared were disease troubles. One is leaf scorch on many trees, particularly oak. The edges of the leaves on some trees withered and turned brown, the tree looked sick. This is due to the unusual heat and excessive winds in May. The leaf was simply losing more water through evaporation than the roots were able to replace. The leaves, particularly on the west side of the tree, became dehydrated. Other people have been concerned about the late leafing and the poor appearance of soft maples. We can only say what happened, not why it happened. These trees made an abnormal amount of seed. The tree simply was unable to make new leaves and seed at the same time. Now the Reaves should go ahead and develop into normal size. For trees in lawns where they can be watered, a few holes punched around the feeding area followed by heavy watering will speed up the leaf growth. We have also had calls on oats « that looked brown and unhealthy. In the fields that were checked we found no diseases of any consequence. There is some leaf spotting on the older leaves but that is

always there. It would appear that the same thing has occurred that has affected trees. It is abnormally hot weather at the time of fastest and most tender growth causing a dehydration and crisping. -r 1. Even bluegrass lawns have had some trouble. Spots in some lawns have turned brown and have a dead appearance. There is a disease called bluegrass leaf spot that is causing trouble and it can be controlled with chemicals. In my opinion, however, it is better to control this type of trouble with proper mowing. If a nice lawn is really an objective, then set the mower about 2 inches high and mow a little oftener. Many lawns are scalped and then we wonder why they are in a weak condition. We get an almanac or two and I usually keep them because they do have some interesting stuff. One is their long range weather predictions. Their forecast for this spring in April and May was for generally a cold and wet spring. Some days they were right and other days were wrong. Dates for the county fair are August 6 to 11. Enrollment is npw coming in for the 4-H club camp which is scheduled for June 25 to 28 at Camp Mack. The training camp for 4-H junior leaders is June 21 to 24 at Camp Limberlost and the Kiwanis 4-H junior leaders conference is June 12 to 14 at Ball State college. Jack Hart, assistant agricultural agent, will he out of the office from June 10 to 25 with the army reserves at summer encampment. Mrs. Pat Lucas, who has been working part time as girls 4-H
who will benefit from this broad program for our aged just aren’t listening. The same worn out arguments are being used against' medicare that were used against social security. Oddly enough, those who were so strongly against social security when it was started under Franklin Roosevelt are now receiving social security, and they think it’s just fine. Just ask them, if you doubt it. Truth is, America is far behind most European countries in social reforms such as social security and medical care for the aged. We’re for medicare under social security, and we think you should be too.
of guidance. The teen-agers make all their own decisions. To take a specific example, one Junior Achievement group formed a firm to produce and sell a desk pen in a special holder, on a capital of $l5O. This product, it is reported, “was selling like hot -cakes.” From all one can gather, knowledge of how the American system works and what it does for the masses of people is woefully short among our school population. Junior Achievement offers one way to make up this serious deficiency.
ming and picnicing. The rural wooded areas of Long Island must look much the same today as they did in the days of Teddy Roosevelt whose home, Sagamore Hill, is a national shrine which thousands visit every year. One of the first “tourists” to visit Long Island was George Washington who kept a diary of a four-day visit in the year 1790. Each community has its legends and tales concerning this trip. Long Island’s more recent history is no less facinating. It is the site of many aviation “firsts.” It was here that Charles A. Lindbergh took off on his epic flight to Paris. Long Island is also the site of New York International Airport, whose terminals and internation arrival center offer a dramatic spectacle of the jet age, almost on the very ground that George Washington rode across on horseback 172 year ago. So when you are traveling this sum- , mer, think of Long Island. It is worth seeing. ;

The enrollment of 4-H girls is about 700 this year with Syracuse having the largest enrollment. Enchanted Hills To Open June 26 Jon Baisch and John Baldwin, co-producers of the Enchanted Hills Playhouse, located on the east side of Lake Wawasee, stated today that their summer theatre is nearing the “go” stage. Contracts for the actors have been signed and the company is due to arrive about June 15. The first production, “The Four Poster” opens on June 26, followed by “The Music Man” on July 3. New seat risers in the barn playhouse are going up now. The risers will eliminate sight problems encountered last summer. The road to the playhouse is being made ready for blacktopping. Along with'these improvements, the basement area will be cemented and a cabana built at the rear of the barn for the serving of refreshments during intermissions. Agreements have been tnade for the nine Mr. Baisch intimated that there may be a tenth show which would play the last four days of the season. The show being considered is a musical comedy and the production at Enchanted Hills Playhouse would be its first pre-Broadway tryout. Many of the actors from last year’s company will return along with several new leads and more apprentices. Jon and Phyl Baisch,

'MONEY 1 ISN’T ALWAYS ENOUGH
Dear Amy: I appear to be a very fortunate Woman. My husband gives me everything I ever wanted and everything I ever dreamed of having. My home is exquisite and I have help to take care of it I have clothes galore and drive a beautiful new car and we just a swimming pool built. Obviously, all this to a woman would be heaven on earth but it isn’t to me. The only thing I ever really wanted was my husband home with me but he never is. His business keeps him completely occupied 7 days a week and practically 7 nights. They say the grass always looks greener on the other side of the fence. Well, I know it is! When I see the other women with their husbands laughing together, eating together, and enjoying each other, I realize that what I have is just a poor substitute for the real essence of life. I am not ungrateful and I would be the happiest woman in the world to change places with the ‘grass punters’. All I want is my husband ‘To Have and To Hold’! Once I read in a book, if you have a problem and you write it down on paper, it makes you feel better. Well, I did, and I’m glad, although I don’t feel better. No Name Please Dear No Name: You and your husband have reached the pinnacle of success but unfortunately happiness does not have a price ticket. If you mean what you say and you really want to live a different kind of life, show this letter to your husband. Perhaps he too will realize there is something missing for both of you that money can’t buy. P.S. Sorry I couldn’t print the entire six pages, but space won’t permit it. • • • Dear Amy: I hope you don’t think this is ■illy, but to me this is a real problem. I wear glasses and I have to wear them because I can’t see without them. Everytime I kiss my date, my glasses fog up and it is very embarrassing to have to stop in the middle and wipe them clean. I was thinking of getting contact lenses. Do you know if they fog up too? June Dear June: Your problem (?) Is over. Contact lenses don’t fog. But don’t wear them out proving it!

Pollard Copyright 1960 AN INHERENT RIGHT (No. 40 in a Series) Law suits often hinge upon oddities in some phase of human relations. In another state not long ago a woman sued a physician for SIO,OOO for an alleged breach of contract. Her complaint was that he failed to deliver her baby. It seems, according to her story, that he attended her during the months of her pregnancy. She understood that he would be with her when the baby came. But in her suit she charged that he did not appear at the hospital until after the baby had been delivered. The issue here involved the law of contracts, which is a separate branch of the law. The superior court justice sitting in on the case continued it. This meant that it could not go to trial until later and the issue could not be settled until later, unless the suit was withdrawn or settlement was made out of court. In any event, certain elements are basic to any lawsuit. The person or persons sued have a right to know who is suing them and for what. Without going into all of the details, they are entitled also to their so-called day in court, that is, the right to be heard. The basic right to be put on notice in court has its parallel in

Dear Amy: I’m 28. For 5 years I have been going with a young man. For two years I have worn a diamond ring on my left hand, wtiich was given to me by him to be worn on that hand. I have seen him every evening and every day during that period. He says, and his prove it, that he doesn’t want me to have any other dates, but never has he referred to or even hinted at marriage for us, though he thinks it’s all right for other people to get married. Do you think it’s possible that he doesn’t love me and doesn’t intend to marry me? Are there such men? Are ajl men generally opposed to marriage and have to be sold on it? Puzzled Dear Puzzled: If he is in love, he doesn’t have to be sold. You’re getting attention without intention. Men generally are not opposed to marriage and if you can’t sell him on it, tell him to take his business—and his ring—elsewhere! * * * Dear Amy: I am 21 and for the past tw« years I have been dating a than who is 14 years older than me. He disturbs me by getting angry over the silliest things, and I’m beginning to wonder if I ever could be happy with him. He objects if I go out with the girls from my office. I seldom go anywhere unless he takes me, although we aren’t even officially engaged. He speaks of marriage, but only, it seems, when he’s afraid of losing me. I am doing everything possible so we can be married. I left my church for him, and I have just about given up my sister, because he doesn’t like me to visit her. Because of his miserable attitude about everything I am always despondent. I realize breaking off would be the solution but I want to know if there would be any other way? Despondent Dear Despondent: No! There wouldn’t be any other way. The sooner you stop seeing him, the better off you’ll be. (Don’t make the mistake of letting him change your mind.) • • * Please address all letters to: AMY ADAMS % THIS NEWSPAPER For a personal reply enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope.

Agriculture And Common Market (Editor’s note: This is the second in a series of stories on the , Common Market). LAFAYETTE — What are the basic objectives of the European Economic Community (EEC), or the so-called Common Market? J. Carroll Bottum, Purdue university agricultural economist, lists them as: Elimination of customs duties between the six countries which make up the Common Market — Belgium, The Netherlands, Luxembourg, France, West Germany, and Italy. (At the end of 12 yiears protective duties among these countries would be ended.) Establishment of a common customs tariff. With certain exceptions, there will be a single common tariff for each commodity for all EEC countries. In most cases it will equal the average of their tariffs at the beginning of EEC. Elimination of all qualitative import and export restrictions within the EEC area. A common agricultural policy with these purposes—increase agricultural productivity, assure equitable standard of living to farmers, stablize markets, guarantee supplies and assure reasonable consumer prices. Free movement of persons (workers), services and capital. No restriction on capital movements between the countries. A common policy toward rail, highway and water transportation. This will include common regulations for interstate traffic and conditions under which a carrier from one country will be permitted to operate in another member country. 2,000 STUDENTS COMPLETE WORK AT PURDUE LAFAYETTE — More than 2,000 students completing their work in the second semester of the 1961-62 academic year are candidates for degrees and diplomas in the annual commencement exercises of Purdue university to be held Sunday, June 3, in the Edward C.
