Welcome Home, Guardsmen

With some 66,000 Army and Air National Guardsmen coming off duty in the weeks ahead, it is appropriate that we now take stock of the truly remarkable job that these citizen-soldiers have accomplished since their callup last October for the Berlin crisis. Perhaps the most significant accomplishment of the callup was voiced by Sen. Henry M. Jackson of Washington when he said: “This is the first time that a President has been able to use the military power presented by our reserve program to achieve a foreign policy objective.” What this means is that for the first time in our history, our reserve forces were at a high enough level of readiness to represent an immediate show of force when they were called to active duty. No amount of publicity over the socalled “gripes” during the early stages of the mobilization can overshadow this fact. The highlight of the Air Guard mobilization was the greatest overseas deployment of jet fighters in our history. Within one month of their recall last October 1, combat-ready pilots of the Air Guard flew more than 200 jets from their home communities to bases in Europe and immediately began operations. This was an unprecedented accomplishment and certainly established the Air Guard claim of being a “ready now” organization.

Public Business Is Public's Business

During the past week a group of editors entered their protest against a growing tendency on the part of government agencies top lace copyright restrictions on the contents of government publications and documents. This paper emphatically concurs in the denunciation of this practice. It not only is in direct contradiction of the letter and intent of the copyright laws but presents a “real and present danger” of extension to a system of suppression of public ' information and censorship of news. Squirreling away information on the conduct of the government business in copyrighted reports and publications in effect tells the voter that government business is none of his business. At a time when the task of meaning-

Hartke Returns From Europe Impressed By Common Market Prosperity

WASHINGTON (Special) — Senator Vance Hartke (D-Ind.), who has just had a close-up look at the European Common Market, said its prosperity is “amazing” but “some people are going to get hurt.” The Indiana lawmaker, returning from a one-week swing thru Europe, made his comments during filming of a television program for release in Indiana. Removal of tariffs along contingent boundaries of the six-na-tion Common Market, Senator Hartke said, means freer movement of goods. “Now,” said Senator Hartke, “the overall effect of that is that all of the countries inside such an arrangement are going to have more business and this is the secret of their success.” He said- the six nations—Western ..Germany, Belgium, Italy, France, the Netherlands and Luxembourg—“are having a prosperity that would amaze you.” He cited as evidence, numerous cars on highways, bustling super-mar-kets and a shortage of labor in many parts of the Common Market where the combined population of about 185-million is about that of the United States. Senator Hartke said the people of these nations “understand the Common Market means better times for them ... and the leaders are extremely optimistic.” On the other hand, Senator Hartke said, because of the Common Market, “there are some very definite problems. Some people are going to get hurt ... especially smaller businesses. The big corporations have a better chance to expand their influence.” He said Common Market car manufacturers will probably have to reduce prices to meet competition accompanying removal of tariff barriers. "And of course it makes it rougher for America to compete,” the Senator added.

"A real grain of caution for America,” he said, “lies in the fact that we are one of the biggest suppliers today of agricultural products to these countries. Now these countries will be able to supply themselves at a cheaper price unless we come to some kind of understanding through the trade bill which President Kennedy has proposed. If we don’t pass that bill, I think we are going to see our farmers have more surplus because the Europeans aren’t going to buy the com and wheat they are buying today. Senator Hartke had an opportunity to meet with many European leaders to discuss the Common Market while he was attending sessions of the Lutheran Political Academy in Bavaria. Senator Hartke, a lay leader in the Lutheran church, was one of two U. S. Senators attending as special guests for the three-day meeting 30 miles south of Munich. Senator John Tower (R-Tex.) also attended.

LEESBURG LUMBER SALES UP It was announced today by John Reasoner of the Leesburg Lumber that sales for the month of June were 21 per cent above June of 1961. This, coupled with an 18 per cent increase ip May over the same month one year ago seems noteworthy due to the recently announced 2 per cent decline in retail Males on a national level. ATTENDS I. U.

In the Army National Guard, two combat divisions—-the 32nd Infantry of Wisconsin and the 49th Armored of Texas — were called to active duty and declared completely combat-ready after only three months of actual training. And on February 15, both divisions were assigned to the Army’s elite, fast-moving Strategic Army Corps. This allowed the immediate movement of 40,000 active Army troops Overseas. When you stop to consider that it would have taken the active Army and Air Force at least a year to build comparable forces from scratch, you begin to get an idea of the importance of this callup. What are the conclusions that we can draw from the events of the past year ? First, it has become apparent that the National Guard system is able to adopt itself to the changing requirements of 20th century warfare and contribute significantly to our overall defense structure. Second, in spite of some early complaints last fall, the individual Guardsmen responded magnificently. In the face of obvious hardships, they were anxious to get on with the job of whipping their units into shape. And finally, this mobilization should be a lesson to us all that the only way to prevent a war is to let the enemy know we are prepared to fight one if necessary.

'fully reporting on the activities of government, because of sheer size of the beast, has become a difficult task even with the full cooperation of the agencies and officials involved, illegal erection of copyright barriers to dissemination of information becomes ridiculous if tolerated. The daily press should at once dig out every instance through its Washington staffs and demand reasons why it is thought necessary to violate the First Amendment. Limitations on the use of commercially valuable material amassed at taxpayers expense for private profit might in some instances be reasonable but what the instances would be escapes us at this moment. If public business isn’t in the “public domain,” what is ?

WONDERFUL PEOPLE;;; COME AGAIN!

Dear Amy: I have a girl friend whom I like very much but she has faults that I can’t stand. I recently bought a home and she and her husband came to visit us. She started right away telling me how to arrange the furniture and where to hang the pictures on the wall. She didn’t like where I had them . . . but I did! And her husband started looking and inspecting the house. I wouldn’t mind if I thought they were trying to help us arrange the house, but they have always done this during the ten years we have known them. She never likes what I buy, no matter what it is. If I buy a dress or anything new, she immediately asks me where I bought it and how much I paid for it Even if she doesn’t like it she could be nice. Outside of these faults they are wonderful people. Before my husband tells them plenty, I would like your advice on how to let them know without hurting them (even though they hurt us). Very Hurt Dear Hurt: After ten years of being insulted by these ‘wonderful people,’ it’s time your husband took over the telling. Let him! * * * Dear Amy: I am getting married this summer and have a few questions to ask. I have a wedding etiquette book but am still in need of your advice. Am I supposed to send a written invitation to the minister and his wife, the organist, and the singer? Also, when we have the wedding rehearsal, am I supposed to ask the reception helpers to be there too? I am very confused about the whole matter. Janice K. Dear Janice: A wedding invitation is always sent to the minister and his wife. It is not necessary to send one to the organist and singer. The reception helpers are not invited to the wedding rehearsal as this is only for those people who are going to take part in the actual ceremony.. « • • Dear Amy: I have been going with a boy

By DONALD FRANTZ Agriculture Extension Agent There have been reports, especially from the west side of the state, of damage to soybeans from atrazine that was used on some the preceding year. The symptoms are a browning of the leaf edges of the older leaves which work to the top of the plant causing it to die. Upon investigation it is usually found that the rate used the previous year was pretty high. This could easily happen in muck soils where you have to put it on heavy. If-there are cases in this county, I’d appreciate seeing them. We need to assemble as much information as we can get. Earl Roberts of Syracuse has been named as a 4-H club scholarship winner at Purdue. There are a limited number of these given to boys who have had good 4-H club records. They are to be used in the schools of agriculture or home economics. The sale of 4-H market livestock has been scheduled for Thursday, August 9, at the fair. We expect somewhere around 250 head of livestock to be sold. The sale committee this year is Dale Besson, chairman, Wayne Bouse. Bob Sittier, Bill Kneller, Ralph Krull, Don Clase, Elmer Martin, Kenneth Fawley, and Don Frantz. • - A number of the county agents, including myself, will spend three days this week in an insect control meeting at Purdue. The study of insects is quite complicated and the use of chemicals is getting to be real exacting. We get a lot of callsand the qugstion may be "what kind of a worm is it that is eatipg my petunias.” The chances are/that we don’t know just what it 'is that is eating the petunias and, it usually takes some little time-to find out. It often turns out that a couple of phone calls or visits to the office on insect or plant disease problems can result jn at least a day’s work before ar final recommendation can be made. It can be real interesting. Two new varieties of wheat will go into seed production this year. They are Reed and Knox 62. Both are resistant to Hession Fly. The Reed variety is more nearly comparable to Dual in height and type while Knox 62 is a fly-resis-tant variety derived from the Knox wheat we have used for several years. It is a short, 'early maturing wheat. This county has few seed certifiers. We have missed out somewhere along the line and as a result we move more slowly in get-

for B 4 years. I am 17. My problem is that I "have never met his parents. He comes to see me three times a week and then mostly on Sundays. I have been to visit his sister a few times. He never mentions much about his parents or home-life. Do you think I should mention that I would like to meet his parents or wait till he decides to take met Kaye Dear Kaye: A girl never ‘suggests or pushes’ to meet a boy’s parents. She waits until he offers the invitation. Most boys don’t take girls home to meet their parents unless they are serious about the girl and they want their parents’ approval of her. Bide your time.

We are contemplating a long trip with my mother-in-law, taking my husband’s car, and going fifty-fifty on expenses for the trip. The problem is my mother-in-law wants to tell us when to leave and when to come home. If she doesn’t get her way she will make the trip miserable for all concerned. We both feel it is up to us to say as it is our car and we don’t want to be rushed on our vacation. She is a wonderful person and we wouldn’t want to hurt her feelings but shouldn’t she show some consideration toward us too? The question is should we tell her how we feel?. What is your opinion? Frankly Bewildered Dear Bewildered: The three of you sit down and plan the agenda. Let your husband tell her when HE plans to leave and when HE plans to return. If this is agreeable to her, fine. If not, let HIM tell her otherwise. • * • Please address all letters tot AMY ADAMS c/o THIS NEWSPAPER For a personal reply enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope.

ting new varieties into use. The procedure that is used by the seed certification service is deciding who gets these new varieties is this: There are five classes established. Class one is a person who has certified grain each of the past three years. Class two includes those who may have done certifying in two of the past three years and so on down to class five. This is a person who never has been in the certification program. When applications are received for new varieties they are placed in whichever class they may fall into. If there is enough seed to satisfy all requests, then it goes all the way. If the seed is short and it usually is, then it goes to those who are in the top classification. A field and tour to show methods and effects or irrigation will be held on July 26 in Elkhart county. It will start at 8:30 a. m. at Kercher’s Sunrise Orchards and the group will meet at the fruit stand on road 15. The afternoon program will be conducted by James Newman on “Outguessing the Weather.” It will be a discussion of what conditions cause different weather situations. It sounds interesting.

Little: Chats ; ON , Public Notice By James E. Pollard < Copyright 1960 “MEN WANTED” (No. 46 in a Series) In the early part of this century Sir Ernest Shackleton was one of the great explorers of the Antarctic. In all he made four expeditions to that remote part of the ’ world which was then much less well known than now. He died as a result of hardship suffered on his last trip. Before leaving on . one of his trips, Sir Ernest used an English newspaper to help recruit men for his expedition. The notice read: MEN WANTED fqr hazardous journey, small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful. Honor and recognition in case of success. Sir Ernest Shackleton In its way this was a public notice in that it was an invitation to men with adventurous spirit to sign up for an undertaking that would appeal only to the boldest. It was similar in purpose and form to the public notices, or legal advertising, to be found in any bona fide newspaper of general circulation. It was, to be sure, more exciting than most such notices. But public notices, as provided by law, are no less important even though they may be unexciting or
