Kosciusko County Ranks 47th In May Bth Primary

Kosciusko county ranked 47th among Indiana counties in the percentage of registered voters who cast ballots in the May 8 primary elections, according to a survey just completed by the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce. . 1 The unofficial survey, compiled from reports of county clerks, local chambers of commerce and from newspaper accounts, showed 2,453 Democratic ballots cast in the county and 7,298 Republican ballots, for a total of 8,751, or 43.16 per cent of the registered voters. Statewide results of the survey showed 934,942, or 38.87 per cent of the state's registered voters, cast primary ballots this year. The total ballots cast in 1962 represented an increase of more than 14,000 qver the 1960 primary, but because of increased voter registration this year the percentage of registered persons who voted dropped from the 40.15 per cent figure two years ago. County reports showed a total of 2,405,059 voters registered in 1962 as compared with 2,290,914 registered at the time of the 1960 primary’election. Indiana’s best primary voting record in recent years was established in 1958, when 41.46 per cent of the registered voters cast ballots. County figures in the state chamber surveys in almost all inS.ances represent . the highest number of votes cast in any race in each party, and are coriseivative as to total ballots cast,/ the chamber said. The 1962 statewide tabulation showed 500,086 or 53.49 per cent of the ballots cast in the Democratic primary and 434,856 or 46. 51 per cent in the Republican primary. > The state chamber cautioned, as it has in past surveys, that although primary voting volume may be one factor in attempting to predict party strength in the general election in a county or the state, these facts also must be considered. “(a) Hotly contested races for nominations in one party may disproportionately swell that party’s primary vote if there are no comparable races in the other party; (b) many thousands of persons who do not vote in the primary vote in the general election; (c) there is a great mass of ‘independent’ voters who frequently switch from one party to the other or ‘scratch’ their ballots for individual candidates of either party.” The 10 leading counties in the 1962 primary on the basis of percentages of their registered voters participating were: Martin, 74.33 per cent; Jasper, 68.05; Pulaski, 63.16; Starke, 63. 16; Dubois, 61.90; Sullivan, 61.13; Brown, 59.92; Crawford, 58.51; Clay, 58.19; and Adams, 56.39. Among the more populous counties, Vigo (Terre Haute) ranked highest with a percentage of 50. 08. Others in order were Lake (Gary, Hammond, East Chicago), 41.97; Vanderburgh (Evansville), 41.06; Delaware (Muncie) 37.06; St. Joseph (South Bend-Misha-waka), 35.08; LaPorte (Michigan City and LaPorte), 33.90; Tippecanoe (Lafayette), 33.77; Madison (Anderson), 32.20; Elkhart (Elkhart), 27.58; Marion (Indianapolis), 26.98, and Allen (Fort Wayne),, 25.24.

Boys' Stater Returns The following is an article written by Ronn Brown, son of Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Brown of Milford, who. reutrned over the week end from Hoosier Boys’ State held at Indiana university last Week. Ronn was a member of the Federalist party from the town of Gramelspacher in the county of McHale. He was a delegate to the state convention. MY IMPRESSIONS OF BOYS’ STATE By Ronn Brown It might first be well to tell a little about Boys’ State. It began 25 years ago under the direction of Barney Breedlove with the encouragement and assistance of the members of the American Legion throughout the state of Indiana. For 25 years Mr. Breedlove has directed the annual session of Boys’ State. During this entire time it has been the purpose of Hoosier Boys State to teach boys practical politics and good citizenship. Many of today’s state and community leaders were once themselves Boy Staters. The typical day at Boys’ State began at 6 a. m. and ended with lights out at 10:30 p. m. Each

day’s activities were closely scheduled and the boys were kept very busy. Boys’ State is made up of 16 cities and eight counties. Two cities join together to make one county. These cities and counties were named after former state Legion Commanders. (There is a city named after former state Commander Gilbert Bates who was from Milford.) When the Boy Stater arrives, he is assigned to one of two political parties, Federalist or Nationalist. All political activities are conducted on city, county, or state levels. Both parties hold primaries and state conventions to choose their most able candidates for office. On Wednesday the big general election is held. The elected Boys’ State officials govern all their fellow citizens during the last two and a quarter days. I feel that my week at Boys’ State was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. I was privileged to know Governor Mike Valentine from Warsaw. I echo the sentiments of many of my fellow Boys’ Staters when they say that Boys’ State was the greatest and its citizens some of the best boys in the state.

Heat Sets Back Broilers Hot Weather can reduce sharply growth rate of broilers, even causing heavy losses from heat exhaustion unless broiler raisers are alert, points out Joe W. Sicer, Purdue university extension poultryman. Aluminum asphalt paint or white wash applied to black roofs will reflect much of the sun’s heat and the house will be five to 10 legrees cooler. Chickens are particularly susceptible to heat because they have no perspiration glands. r Plan to attend the agronomy field day July 3 at Pinney-Purdue farm, northwest of Wanatah. Wheat fertilizer placement, oat varieties, weed control in corn and minimum tillage results can be seen at the event.

Two Week—Vacation Kit

i «L '■’’<** V i' L / J^^^ssssi [

That ageless lament, “A camping trip or vacation bungalow means a vacation for everyone except Mom,” can now be relegated into the dim, dark past—thanks to a new “wife-Saver” being marketed by the Lily-Tulip Cup Corporation. Neatly encased in a. compact, cardboard box which can be easily packed away with the other vacation or camping paraphernalia in the family car, the “wife-saver” frees Mom from the daily grind of dishwashing chores during trips away from home so that she can join in the family fun. Packaged under the appealing label, “Fun Kit!”, this gift to womanhood consists of a 14-day supply of sanitary, disposable paper service for a family of four. (A bit of hasty calculations by Dad will determine whether his family will need more than one of the handy pre-packaged kits to see it safely through its scheduled vacation, boating or camping trip.) Complete in every detail, the Lily vacation kit includes a disposable product for every service need—from early morning juice and cereal to a late night snack. Included are compartmented dinner plates, cold drink cups, insulated hot drink cups, soup or cereal containers, disposable pitchers, heavy duty tubs, paper towels, which can also double as napkins, and plastic forks and spoons.
