The Price We Pay Some times we wonder about the price we pay for good government in Kosciusko county. A fact came to light this week that gives us just cause to wonder anew. It came in a statement made by Carroll Sherman, of the county health department, offices in the court house building, Warsaw. . When Mr. Serman was asked pointedly “Just what was the ‘beef’ between Dr. Johnson, the recent county health officer in Kosciusko county, and the Warsaw Times-Union?” he said, just as pointedly, “Dr. Johnson made the mistake of joining Dr. Robert D. Dormire in wanting a county hospital.”
Something Hard To Understand
Last week’s-Supreme Court decision forbidding prayer in the New York public schools comes as something of a shocker to the average layman. The Supreme Court ruled 6 to 1 against the use of a simple prayer in New York schools, basing their decision on the First Amendment which forbids setting up of any religion in this country by a governmental body. Hear the simple prayer recommended by the New York Board of Regents: “Almighty God, we acknowledge our
The Annual Church Os God Convention Concludes Its Program
ANDERSON — Officially, the 73d International convention of the Church of God here concludes its several programs last week, but in actuality, this convention adjoumedment is only a phase, because the convention work, as this religious movement’s progress * readily indicates, merely changes locale, not direction. The thousands of deeply religious men, women and children who have . brought considerable and welcome pleasantness to the city the last several days of June, have returned to the convention grounds of the large Church of God, where they walked here and there on the grounds to see for themselves the gigantic strides already taken in the relatively brief time of a year by this great movement. The Church of God, led obviously by men and women of deepest religious feeling and possessed individually of superb talent for effective organization, have brought honor to the site of their “religious home”—but chances are that they have left in the various mission fields over this world considerably more good to humanity than they report. The ministers and delegates from the more than 2,000 Churches of God over the world were here not to indulge in self- aggrandizement, but to effect a still more strong church and to make it possess real cause for existence —these earnest members of the various churches work very hard and it has brought about results that are to be seen by everyone over most of the globe. Rev. Pyle is pastor of the Church of God in Pierceton.
Little Chats ON Public Notice . By James E. Pollard Copyright 1960 Slow Down at Sundown HALF A LOAF (No. 45 in a Series) The principle of giving public notice through "legal advertising” is well accepted in the United • States. Hundreds of laws in the codes of the 50 states, as well as numerous local ordinances providing for such publication, attest to this fact. | A public official who fails or neglects to carry out the intent of the law in such matters may lay himself open to a charge of nonfeasance. Similarly a person who in some private capacity is supposed to give notice and does not do so may deprive some other individuals of their legal right to be put on notice concerning something that affects them. Occasionally an ordinance or a law may provide that a public

Actually this is rare and is objected to on the ground that while l this is a notice of sorts, it is insufficient and inadequate notice. i This would be true especially of a' , proposed action where the title . might include "... and for other purposes,” the “other purposes” not being spelled out. The argument usually given for suggesting the occasional publication of notices by title only is that it still serves the general purpose and is more economical. Neither reason is sound when weighed against the basic reason for public notices, namely, to inform the public where its rights are affected. At best publication by title is only half a loaf or less. It is a question whether, in such cases, half a loaf is almost as bad as no loaf at all. Fortunately, and significantly, most jurisdictions do not permit this practice. Youth For Christ Convention To Convene July 1-15 Sunday, July 1, the day—this signals the opening of the 18th annual Youth for Christ convention from July 1 through 15. A great host of Christian youth will converge on these historic conference grounds for two full weeks at Winona Lake for intensive activity: including rallies, counselling, evangelistic effort, Bible quizzes, music fests, wholesome recreation and entertainment. Young people will be coming from all parts of the United States, Canada, and a number of foreign countries. The convention is expected to swell to an attendance of more than ten thousand individuals before its conclusion. The convention will be directed by such well known youth leaders as Dr. Ted Engstrom, president, Youth for Christ, International, Dr. Bob Pierce, president, World Vision, Inc., and others. Thurlow Spurr (Mr. Music), assisted by a five hundred-voice teen choir and the nationally famous Gary Moore, bass-baritone, will lead , teen-styled gospel music,that will 1 never be forgotten. j Dr. Gordon L.

Sherman added: “Bill Mullenhour told Dr. Johnson he would get him run out of town.” Mr. Sherman stated, further, that it’s a pity when a newspaper takes this attitude toward medical progress in its county. (Mr. Mullenhour is business manager of the Times-Union and vice president of the Murphy Medical Center in Warsaw.) The paper hounded Dr. Johnson, who Was doing an excellent job as county health officer, until he moved to a similar post in Illinois. With this statement no doubt Mr. Sherman will be next on their list and our health department will sink further into its abyss.

Os course, we must respect the law of the land, and a Supreme Court decision is certainly the law of the land. But we fail to see where a simple prayer such as this one can do so much harm. Fact is, perhaps more such prayers, a little more all inclusive, would be in order in our fast-moving world today.
bureau’s 2d district on the above date, according to an announcement by John McCoy, president of the LaGrange county organization. Doup’s address will be entitled, “Land of Lincoln —India.” Early this year, Doup visited India under the auspices of the U. S.

ONLY ATUCENSE MAKES IT LEGAL
Dear Amy: A year ago my husband and I got a divorce. Our differences just seemed too big to cope with, so we separated on good terms. But after a few months of loneliness and growing up we decided maybe we could be happy after all and make a good home for our three kids. And I thought they really needed a daddy. I moved back on a week-end but we didn’t get married right away. We kept making excuses and saying, “Let’s get married this week,” but we never pushed the issue. This had been our first marriage and a piece of paper really couldn’t make us divorced ... in spirit anyway. I wouldn’t live with just any man even if I intended to marry him, but this is still my husband. I feel kind of silly having to get married again just because we were so quick to get “unmarried,” it isn’t like a first love marriage. But sometimes I feel a little guilty about it all, maybe because I’m too coiwantional or because of my religion, I’m just not sure. What do you think? Are we doing wrong? Worried Dear Worried: You are! In the eyes of man and God, yon are living with a man without benefit of clergy ... exhusband or not, it makes no difference. That piece of paper (which you have no regard for) happens to make all the difference in the world. Don’t waste time thinking it over, make it legal! • • • Dear Amy: Is it a crime to kiss a boy whom you are going steady with? I am sixteen and have been going steady with this boy for quite a while now. He is very nice and we love each other very much. My only trouble is my parents and relations. Sometimes when my boy friend and I are alone watching television or just talking, he’ll kiss me and it seems like just at that moment someone will enter the room. Then they think I’m terrible and tell my mother. My mother then gets mad at me. I’m not a bad girl, Amy, but must we park somewhere in order to kiss? How can I convince my parents and relatives that I’m not doing wrong and that it isn’t a crime to kiss once in a while? Very Mad
Vacationers Should Have No Trouble Driving If They Adhere To Basic Rules
INDIANAPOLIS — The vacationer traveling over the country’s highways this summer should find no real difference in driving skills and conditions than he would at home, a trucking industry official stated here today. J. E. Nicholas, general manager of the Indiana Motor Truck Association, speaking in connection with the industry’s July courtesy 1 and safety campaign, said the vacationer should not have any trouble if he adheres to basic rules of the road he practices at home. “They are faced with the same concerns in everyday traffic, for the most part, and the difference between road driving and town driving is largely one of speed,”
Stamp Honoring Girl Scouts To Be Issued
A Girl Scouts of America commemorative postage stamp will first be issued July 24 with ceremonies at Button Bay, Vt., site of the 50th anniversary Senior Roundup. The new stamp which is a redon white horizontal shows a Senior Girl Scout in uniform with a portion of the American Flag in the background. Some 9,000 Senior Girl Scouts from all parts of the nation will attend the Button Bay Roundup, July 19-29, climax to the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Girl Scout movement. The first troop of 12 girls was established by Juliette Gordon Low in Savannah, Ga., March 12, 1912. Today the movement totals more than three million. ’ In announcing the commemorative stamp last spring, Postmaster General Day said: "It would serve to re-awaken and re-inforce In the millions of Americans who will use and see it an appreciation of the great service American Girl Scouts have given to their community, their country, and the world.” Plans are for the ceremony to take place-on the Village Green, a central part of the Roundup site, where there are reproductions of a colonial church, a sugarhouse and other typical New England landmarks. The stamp will be first placed on sale July 24 at Burlington, Vt., 25 miles northeast of Button Bay. The circular portion of the first day cancellation will read "BURLINGTON, VERMONT 9:00 A. M., JULY 24, 1962,” with "BUTTON BAY STATION FIRST DAY OF ISSUE” in the bars. Collectors desiring first day cancellations of the commemorative stamp may send addressed enIvelopes, together with remittance to cover the cost of the stamps to be affixed, to the Postmaster,

Dear Mad: No, it’s no crime, but if you are often seen kissing, you must be kissing too often. You can convince your parents you are doing no wrong by controlling your emotions. Teenagers who go steady ofttimes get too heady! • • • Dear Amy: Re: the letter of “Just Plain Jealous.” ’Twould seem this young lady needs more help than your brief reply could give her. Jealousy is as potent as cancer and could ruin an otherwise happy marriage. I married an older man, who had buried three wives. Thank God, that at twenty-one, I had the wisdom to know that no one marries any two people for the same reasons. If one re marries ten times, each has their own individual niche, in the spouse’s heart. I felt that if he didn’t think of them once in a while there was something wrong. My husband was a moody man, and when I’d see a black mood coming on, I’d make him “talk it out.” If it concerned his former wives, so much the better to talk it over rather than carry it around as a burden that he couldn’t share with me. After twenty-eight years, I still feel exactly the same. I hope I’ve helped J.P.J. see the “woods beyond the trees.” Mrs. Number 4 Dear Please excuse my brief reply, but I am a victim of the ’space’ age! * * * Dear Amy: I am 19 years old and my problem concerns my four month old son who was born out of wedlock. I am now married to the baby’s father. I would like very much if you would tell me what would be the necessary steps so that my husband could adopt his son. Thank you dearly.

he said. "For example, the road driver must be in the proper lane for his turn onto an interchange road just as a city driver must be in the proper lane to turn a corner.” Mr. Nicholas pointed out that on the road, as in the city, following the vehicle ahead too closely is extremely dangerous because of the possibility of a sudden stop ahead. _ He concluded by asking vacationers to use their city driving skills with alertness for a safe, happy vacation. He reminded them that the surest way of avoiding an accident is to avoid conflict with other traffic—keeping in the right lane except to pass and maintaining the same general speed as other traffic.

Each envelope must be marked, in pencil, in the upper right comer indicating the number of stamps to be affixed (singles, pairs, blocks, etc.) An enclosure of medium weight should be placed in each envelope and the flap either turned in or sealed.

President Denotes 'Safe Boating Week'July 1-7 A week-long campaign to headline boating safety education was urged by the Outboard Boating Club of America among its 360 affiliated clubs in support of National Safe Boating Week, July 1-7.
