away at the Elkhart hospital Saturday, Nov. 7, 1942, at 2:30. He had been in the hospital for eleven weeks. His passing will affect the lives of all who knew him. He was always generous with himself whenever and wherever need, true to the finest ethics of his profession. Madison F. Jones, trustee-elect Turkey Creek township, stated today that he will resign his office as a member of the Syracuse town board, effective January 1, i at which time he will take over the duties of township trustee.

give him cakes for breakfast and he will improve fast. November 1875 John Gordy declares that he has a potato vine that is 8 feet high. Baby’s little bald head can be kept comfortable on cold winter nights by putting on it a flannel night cap. There was much sickness, too, in 1837 due to bread baked from flour of wheat grown on new land. Whole families subsisted for three months on roots, wild onions, dried pumpkin and game meats. Dr. Hartshorn came in 1835 and Dr. Shue followed soon thereafter. The former used to tell of how the latter fell in a bog over near the reservation. When Dr. Shue fell in he claimed that Shue had gone over to the Baptists. To see a patient in the Hoss Hills required a day, perhaps two, of stumbling over dead tree trunks and losing the bridle path. They carried their saddle bags stuffed with calomel, jalap, aloes, senna, salt petre, tartar emetic, nux vomica, capsicm and Peruvian bark. Urider the left flap were the twisters for pulling teeth, a thumb lancet and a mortar and pestle. This was the day of cat swamps filled with brush and water green and yellow . . . Not infrequently would some settler have the ague and fever; this they attributed to the stench of new cut timber, night air, or strange mismatic vapors rising from the swamps. In one corner of the housewife’s garden was the health plot. Around the edges or in fence corners grew the hardy catnip, tansy, horehound, boneset and spikenard. In near rows intermingled with old fashioned herbs such as sage, anise and thyme were those plats of tried medicinal value, lobelia fofethe croup, meadow rue as a sedative and shepherd’s purse for hemmorrhage, also penny-royal, mugwort and feverfew. Each housewife gathered her herbs for the winter; in the woods she found calamus for colic, hartshorn for snakebites, slippery elm, an aperient, and cranesbill, a diuretic. She gave them as samples but also was skilled in concocting drinks drinks of bitter “yarbs”.

YOUR KIDS AND MINE By RAYMOND LETSCH In the recent issue of Senior Senior Scholastic dated October 31, 1962, there is a coment by Conn. Senator, Thomas J. Dodd. This commment points up the discussion of last week on discipline. Quote: “We have taken out of school life discipline, competition, hard work, reward for success, punishment for failure. We have permitted an atmosphere to develop in which success in social life or in sports or other extracurricular activities is more valued and respected than mastering the rigorous disciplines of academic life. (This is behind the breakdown n self-discipline and moral conduct which is sweeping the nation.) The question we shall raise is this: “Should we criticize our youngsters and infer that their standards of self-discipline are sliding?” Let us look at both sides of this queston. To take one side of this question, let us look to the behavior of youngsters. F. B. I. chief J. Edgar Hoover estimates the yearly bill for crime at more than 20 million dollars, with more than half the adult criminals case-his-toried as former juvenile delinquents. The Saturday Evening Post in March of 1962 ran a series entitled “We Waste a Million Kids a Year.” In Englewood, N. J. seventeen youths were arrested after a long period of housebreaking, in which they had taken a total of SIO,OOO worth of loot. Most of the young burglars admitted having liberal allowances from home but went bn their lawless sprees “just for kicks and because it was thrilling.” One district attorney last year issued a report on 251 persons, most of them in their teens and ' some as young as thirteen, who) had used an extensive assortment of narcotics regularly at dances, club meetings, and parties. Some of these gatherings had been held in homes while parents were absent. Our youngsters aiross the country participate in “beer busts,” wild parties, and adult activities of many kinds. Our recent episode of livestock rustling in the county shows us that we have problems to be faced right here at home. We must not ignore the issue, but rather work to do something about it. Some of our youngsters participate in several wholesome activities. Some engage in one or two extra-curricular or co-curri-cular activities, A few do not participate and say that they do not have anything to do. Many of today’s youth do not have the chores or work at home to do to keep them busy and occupied. Some hang around the street corners or look for something to do “just for kicks.” We should encourage our boys and girls to participate in the many worthwhile activities which are offered to them in school and church and .community. When they are busy contributing to valuable endeavors they will not be getting into trouble. It is only when we adults place

more emphasis on the extra-curri-cular activities than the solid subjects that the earlier quote is reasonable. It is important that we keep the proper perspective and keep academic excellence first. When the academic needs are met then we should encourage participation in the extras. One reason is to teach them worthy use of leisure time; another might be to develop good habits, skills, and interests. It is sometimes true that we make heroes out of our athletes and give, kids the impression that it is better to be athletic than to ’be well educated. We must stress I the importance of making the best 1 possible use of our intellectual capacities. If we can keep Your Kids and Mine studying, active, busy and happy, they won’t become juvenile delinquents. You are invited to write about your concerns, questions, or problems. If possible they will be enswered in this column. Write to: Box 177-A, The Mail-Journal, Milford, Ind. 31,600 More In Non-Farm Jobs Than Last Year Preliminary estimates of Indiana’s employment at mid-Octob-er indicate that' approximately 1,468,000 Hoosiers had nonfarm jobs, 6,900 fewer than September’s peak 1,474,900 but 31,600 more than were employed in October last year.
