Farm Safety Week

Since this newspaper is located in a semi-rural community we feel that during the 19th annual observation of National Farm Safety Week, July 22 to 28, it is our duty and our responsibility to urge farmers to practice safety this week and to draw attention to a year-round farm accident prevention program. The theme of this year’s National Farm Safety Week is “Family Safety —

That Post Office Deficit

Writing in the Chicago publication, Commerce, Alan Sturdy has something worthwhile to say about the problem of the Post Office deficit, which now runs to some SBSO million a year. A pending bill would increase revenues to the extent of $690 million by raising first, second and third class mail rates. And the burden, Mr. Sturdy observes, “would fall heaviest on the smaller publications which can afford it least.” Under the terms of the bill, the additional cost of mailing a small country newspaper a few miles would be the same as for carrying a huge New York daily to the other side of the continent. As for magazines, that industry has had tough sledding. Many famous publications have gone out of business; others, large and small, are in serious financial trouble. A member of Congress has stated, “the estimated increase in revenue of $53 million on second-class mail exceeds

A Necessary Evil

A new and infinitely dangerous concept of taxation has been gaining currency, and it has its enthusiasts in high places. It holds that taxation should be used as a social instrument, to bring about some desired result other ..than the raising of government revenue — and that, also, a tax is and should be an effective weapon for regulating the economy. The Wall Street Journal has printed a letter from a reader, in which this attitude is vigorously assailed, and in which

Bit Os History Os Syracuse, Milford & Wawasee Area Focuses On Macy's

Going back in the history of the Syracuse - Milford - Wawasee area in the early 1900’s, the Syra-cuse-Portland Cement plant, located at Syracuse lake in the town of Syracuse, had operations also on Wawasee Lake where marl was taken from the bed of that lake and from Waubee lake near Milford where clay was taken. These materials were hauled by train to the plant in Syracuse. There they were ground, heated in rotating cylinders, dried and mixed into what is known as cement. Cement, mixed with varying portions of gravel and water, becomes concrete. All this brings us to 1922 after the abandonment of the SyracusePortland facilities and the founding of the Wawasee Slip as a site of a modem marina for the sales, service and storage of pleasure boats by Irene and Aldean Strieby. Aldean Strieby, the brother-in-law of Wales Macy, passed away in 1926 of pneumonia and Wales came to Wawasee to help Mrs. Strieby. In 1928 Wales and Grace Hiatt of Greentown, Ind., were married and they purchased the Wawasee slip which then became known as MACY’S WAWASEE SLIP and the Macy’s became lakers. In 1927 Macy had contracted with the Chris Craft Corporation as sales representative for Chris Craft boats, which that year had started the producing of pleasure boats on a more than one-alike basis. This relationship with Chris Craft has continued through the years and the Macys are the oldest representatives on the Chris Craft roster. '* Other products such as Penn Yan - Cruisers, Inc., - Glastron - Starcraft and Old Town boats, Sinclair petroleum products, and Cypress Garden skis, are old established names in the boating industry and are carried at Macy’s because they can assure complete satisfaction to the user with a „ minimum of care and upkeep cost.

Several buildings are under roof and some 48,000 square feet of floor space is devoted to the care and storage of boats for owners in the area. One type of storage service which has a waiting list is usually called in and out service. The owner can have the boat put in the water on a five minute notice, ready to step in and drive away, no cover to take off, no wind to worry about and this small additional cost is more than repaid to the owner through a nicer appearance with longer periods between a coat of varnish or paint. This service is especially fine in early spring and fall when the owner is only visiting the summer home on week ends. Service is handled by a crew of men with, a long period of knowhow, who work the year around on boats and boating equipment. All facilities, where possible, are mechanized with time saving devices such as seven sets of power hoists, hauling equipment of tractors, trailers, lift truck, etc., which includes one piece of over the road equipment, to handle large boats or multiple loads, that is just under the 50 foot highway limit, consisting of a tractor and special built semi trailer. Allen test equipment is used for the service of electrical equipment with an additional number of units of an electronic nature to do things. A complete set of tools and special jigs, test propellers, test tanks, etc., are used in the service of outboard motors on some of the older brands such as Johnson, Evinrude and the newer up to date Gale, which is an OMC product and is sold by Macy’s. Facilities are at hand to grind and reface valves and valve seats, rebore cylinders and repair damaged Shafts where machines are required. Canvas work is sub-let to people with the know-how and first quality material for the repair and/ or replacement of boat covers, a

at Work and Play.” Both President John F. Kennedy and Governor Matthew E. Welsh have officially designated this week as Farm Safety Week and urged citizens of our farm community to actively heed the theme. We join with the President and the Governor in asking farm residents to check their homes and farm equipment for hazards and to remove those found.

the gross annual profits of the entire magazine industry.” Mr. Sturdy points out that obsolete mail handling methods, hardly changed in a century, are a basic cause of the problem. If replaced by modern automated systems, as has been done in many countries, hundreds of millions could be pared from the deficit. Authoritative estimates say nearly half the deficit represents charges that should be boiihie by the taxpayers at large, in that they provide for public services of a non-postal nature. Another thought can be added to Mr. Sturdy’s excellent summary. Postal services of a purely commercial nature, which do not contribute to public education, information, and enlightenment, should, at the least, pay their own way in every particular. Parcel post — that chronic contributor to the deficits — is the prime example here.

an admirable statement of principle is made: “Taxes . . . are not properly a control measure. They are not a price to pay for civilization or a privilege of freedom or any of these high-sounding terms. They are necessary to raise revenues with which to run the Government — that is all they are. They are a necessary evil but nonetheless evil.” To use the taxing power to direct and to control our energies and our rights is to lay the foundation of dictatorship.

single cushion or a complete set of upholstery. Repairs to the hull portions of the boat are made in a shop devoted to that work, whether it is fine mahogany, glass, aluminum or plastics. Power tools are used for sawing, planing, sanding and grinding as required for handling and working. Finishing is handled in an air conditioned, temperature controlled, dust free room with every provision made to eliminate peeling, blistering, etc., of finishes and get the work produced on time. Too often the old methods required that we wait for the sun to move over on the north side of the fence to have natural conditions, which might be long after you expected the boat to be ready. Macy’s would be happy to have you stop in today and see what can improve your present service or storage problems and save you dollars. Perhaps you would like to look west towards Milford from MACY’S front door and see the top of the Mississippi-St. Lawrence water shed.

LAUGH AT YOUR FEARS!

Dear Amy: ' My fiance, 23, constantly pressures me to marry him. He knows that I am 31, but does not know that I am afraid I might not have a baby at my age. I would rather remain single than disappoint him. We are both healthy, ih love, and dearly love children. I leave it to you—what shall I do? Very Worried Dear Worried: Marry him! You’ll laugh at your fears in a few years when all your troubles will be ‘little ones.’ • • • Dear Amy: A woman in our neighborhood is running a beauty shop in her basement. What we object to is the cars constantly parked here, also, the pulling in and out of driveways. It is very dangerous for the small children playing especially on Saturdays and during summer vacation. Several times we’ve, had her customers walk right into our home by mistake. This is a strictly residential neighborhood, therefore I think this sort of business should be run in a zoned business section where it will not jeopardize the life of some child. We thought perhaps she would realize this sooner or later, but no effort is being made to stop. Wondering What to Do Dear Wondering: If you and the other neighbors object to this business and if she is operating without a permit, take it up with the Zoning Board. But, if she is within her legal rights, proper traffic signs should be posted to protect the children. Regardless of the circumstances, if you want privacy, keep your doors locked! • • • Dear Amy: I want to know how I would go about finding out where a person is stationed in the army. I know where he lived before he got his call. He lived in Savannah, Tenn. Is there some place in Tenn., or some other place where I could write and find-out where he is now stationed? Thanks you.

Little Chats ON Public Notice By James E. Pollard Copyright 1960 SETTLING AN ESTATE (No. 47 in a Series) To anyone who has never been through the settlement of an estate, it may seem as though the process is a good example of what the layman regards as legal delays. But certain procedures must be followed and there are no short cuts. This is true even where the deceased leaves a will and where his affairs, on the whole, are in good order. One reason for the delay is that the court must approve the appointment of an executor or an administrator, and proper notice must be given of this. Then a period of time is fixed during which persons having claims against the estate can have an opportunity to present their claims. If the deceased held property in. more than one state, if the will is contested, or if other complications develop©, the closing of the estate will be delayed that much longer. A common provision under state laws is for public notice to be given through newspaper of general circulation of the appointment of the executor or administrator. Usually this same notice will say that "Creditors are required to file their claims with said fiduciary within four months or be forever barred.” Such a notice may be run one or more times as the law provides. It is not uncommon in settling an estate for a cloud a develop in respect to the title to a piece of property. Or every once in a while someone appears who claims money for a debt or for services rendered prior to the death of the deceased. All of these matters (have to be cleared up to the satisfaction of the comt and the rightful heirs. Routine as it may appear to be, this kind of public notice is one of the most important of all.

Personnel & Reserve Forces Washington, D.C. Give them all the information you have such as name, last address, etc. and I think they will be able to give you the information you desire. • • • Dear Amy: My problem is my teen-age daughter. She is 15 and in her second year of high school. She met a boy about three months ago and they believe they were meant for each other. He is 29 years old, been married twice before, and couldn’t make a go of it for some reason. He has been in trouble and is on two years probation now. My daughter is a very pretty girl and I know she can do a lot better in life than that. We have even told the boy’s folks that we don’t want him here, with no results. What is a person supposed to do in a case of this kind? She has been asked out by younger boys and always refuses any dates from school friends or anyone. About a month ago, she decided she wanted to quit school and she’s always liked school before. I put my foot down and told her she must finish school. The principal even discussed the school problem with her after he and I discussed what was best for her. I am her mother and I’m only two years older than this boy. Think what kind of life she would have! I want the best out of life for her and I don’t believe a boy of that age is the answer. What do you think should be done to break this up and get her interested in someone else nearer her age. She was in a lot of school activities before. Now she has dropped out of everything. Mrs! B.P. Dear Mrs. 8.P.: This fellow you call a boy will never see his boyhood again. He’s a man (and an undesirable one at that) who is contributing to the delinquency of your child. Stop him . . . even if it necessitates the help of the law. You are overlooking your duty as her parent not to take drastic steps to put an end to this. * • • Please address all letters to: AMY ADAMS c/o THIS NEWSPAPER For a personal reply enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope.

EMPLOYMENT OVER 1961 A 16,000 increase in non-farm jobs filled through the Indiana State Employment Service during the first six months of this year over the same period in 1961 was reported today by Lewis F. Nicolini, director. Also showing an increase, he said, was the number of farm jobs filled. Mr. Nicolini said that though the agricultural season is nowhere near the peak, the Employment Service has already filled Indiana growers’ requests for nearly 8,000 seasonal workers in groups or crews. Many of the temporary farm hands are vacationing students, others are migrants who return annually to help cultivate and harvest Indiana’s crops. A total of 9,216 non-agricultural placements was made by the Employment Service last month. In June 1961, 5,848 were made. As part of the placement process, the Employment Service gave aptitude or performance tests to more than 4,700 job seekers during June and held 2,335 counseling interviews with applicants who needed such assistance.
