Fair Time Is Here It hardly seems like fair time is here again. But this week the area’s first fair got off to a running start, in spite of rain which threatened to dampen its high spirits. School is no more than out, than fairs swoop down upon us and last until school begins.

< The Short End

The Seattle, Washington, Post-Intelli-gencer editorializes on a truism that deserves more public understanding on the part of the man in the street than it enjoys: “The basic difficulty, inherent in any socialized welfare service, is that once the system takes root, the administrative overhead becomes so extensive and expensive that the public necessarily gets the short end of the stick.” It uses the Social Security System as an example. It was established in 1937 on the theory that it would provide benefits superior to those available under private plans. See what has happened: “ . . . consider the case of a worker to-

Vacation Driving Safety

A 96-day period, from Memorial Day through Labor Day, has been set aside for a concentrated Vacation Driving Safety Compaign in Indiana by Governor Matthew E. Welsh. Special emphasis is being given to the five major causes of traffic accidents: 1. Failure to yield right-of-way.’ 2. Speeding too fast or too slow for traffic or road conditions. 3. Following too closely. 4. Driving to left of center. 5. Improper turning or passing.

DON FRANTZ County Agriculture Agent THE SUPERVISORS of the County Soil and Water Conservation* District have arranged for a tour of the Mississinewa flood control project in Wabash county on Saturday, June 22. This is for anyone who is interested in going down there to see what is going on. They have made arrangements with the head engineer, Mr. Walters, to conduct the group around the area and explain what it’s all about. This has to be done on Saturday afternoons because work has stopped and it is easy to see the area. The group will assemble at the Steer Inn and leave at 12:30. These flood control projects are big. This one is designed to control flood waters from a drainage area of 809 square miles. It takes a big hole to hold all that! The dam is almost two miles long by nearly two

hundred feet wide. THE 4-H CLUB CAMP will be held at Camp Mack June 25-28. Club members who completed their work last year are eligible to attend.

Reports on a three-year study at Purdue’s Southern Indiana Forage Farm showed Methoxychlor, toxaphene, DDT and ronnel were effective in controlling horn flies, the most biting insect of cattle in Indiana. Substituting mineral seal oil for diesel fuel in a five per cent DDT solution did not increase the effectiveness of the insecticides. Adding three per cent Tabatrex, a repellent, to a five per cent DDT solution did not increase its effectiveness or extend its period of control.

SUGGEST BASIC RULES FOR BIKE SAFETY The Chicago Motor Club suggests these basic rules for bicycle safety: Signal for all turns and stops; obey all traffic signals; yield the right-of-way to pedestrians; ride alone—only one on a bike; keep both hands on the handlebars except when signaling; ride single file close to the right side of the street or roadway; keep your bike in good condition with special emphasis on the brake, bell, horn, and head and taillierhts.

day who at 21 begins paying his Social Security taxes. By the time he is 65, he will have contributed, between his own and his employers’ payments, over $lB,000. “If that same money were banked at 4& per cent compounded quarterly, he would accumulate about $50,000 at retirement age. This money continued at 4% per cent would bring in an income of about $2,125 yearly. On the other hand, S. S. provides only $1,524.” It can be added that S. S. terminates on death, save for very small benefits to widows. No cash reserve is built up. >

From past experience we all know that traffic will be extremely heavy this summer. This always increases traffic hazards as does the careless driver. Gov. Welsh has instructed officials to use full resources of all state agencies to reduce traffic accidents during the three-month period. The public in general is asked to join in a state-wide effort to Back the Attack on Traffic Accidents in Indiana by Governor Welsh.

YMCA To Hold Day Camp It was announced last week by Don Reap, general secretary of the Kosciusko Community Young Men’s Christian Association, that the YMCA will operate a day camp this summer consisting of six one-week periods, beginning on Monday, June 17. The camp will be based at the west end of the Kosciusko county fairgrounds and children may attend the entire six weeks or less if they so desire. YMCA day camp offers a real opportunity for younger boys and girls (8-12) to share in an outdoor living experience. They will participate in activities with boys and girls their own age under the guidance and supervision of trained leaders. In all phases of day camp life the spirit of Christian living will be emphasized. Day camp will be in operation three days per week Monday, Wednesday and Friday with the program starting at 9 a. m. and ending at 3 p. m. The many program activities will be widely varied to meet the needs of all the children. They will include: archery, crafts, air rifle, fishing derbies, hiking, nature study, cookouts, trips, tours, and numerous athletic events and games. Prospective campers may register by parents filling out the registration blanks at the “Y” office or by calling 267-3261 to request applications to be mailed. Camp enrollment will be limited to 60 boys and girls for each period. Register early and reserve a place for your child. PONY PULLING CONTEST JUNE 22 A pony pulling contest will be held on Saturday night, June 22, at the Saddle club grounds near North Manchester. The ladies of the Saddle club will serve food and pop to those attending. Every one is invited to attend this event and those having ponies are urged to enter them in the contests.

IT’S EVERYBODY’S DUTY

Dear Amy: Perhaps you can enlighten me on something that is bothering me and has been for some time. I have a neighbor who does beauty work in her basement and has been for the last two years. This lady has people coming and going like a 3-ring circus. I know for a fact she makes SSO to $75 per week depending on whether she is giving more permanents or more shampoos. This is fine. However, she is not registered with the State License Board. I’m quite sure I have this correct. How honest should a person be—or how blind? I’m not going to deny part of this is jealousy because of the fact that she also doesn’t pay any income tax. (It’s no wonder she is able to buy beautiful things, but again I guess I’m just jealous.) Yet I feel it is very unfair for her not to report her income while I must report every cent. I guess the average person would say, “Forget it,” and pretend to be blind. Please advise me exactly how you would feel if this were a neighbor Os yours, or a friend? Should I report her to the Income Tax people? Would I have to use my name? Perhaps you will tell me to mind my own business. If so, I’ll do just that. Tax Weary Dear Weary: We owe it to ourselves —and to Uncle Sam—to support the benefits we share under our flag. Anything else is un-American! It’s the duty of every law abiding citizen to telephone, write or visit the Intelligence Division of the Internal Revenue Bureau and report any person who does not report their income. You need not divulge your name, but if you do, it will be held in strict confidence. • « • Dear Amy: I am 12 years old and and in the 7th grade. My 7 year old cousin (living with us since her mother passed away) shares a bedroom with me. She has half an hour to ’et dressed and leave the room. Vet she stays in’ the room with phony excuses. Don’t I deserve some privacy? Crowded Dear Crowded: It’s very big of you to .give, her B whole half hour! And rather imall of you to be so inconsider-

Sen. Hartke Recommends $9 Million More Than President For Indiana

WASHINGTON (Special)—Senator Vance Hartke (D-Ind.) has cautioned House and Senate committees considering flood control and navigation appropriations that delayed completion increases project costs. He urged stepped-up spending for many projects affecting Indiana. Senator Hartke presented arguments for boosting the President’s recommended expenditures by about $9-million in statements prepared for delivery June 11 and 12 before respective houses of Congress. He said this would result in long-range savings in losses of life and property. The senior Senator from Indiana recommended spending $52,403,900 during the bookkeeping year beginning July 1. Senator Hartke, who again this year is urging a speed-up on water resource projects, thus recommended that the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers be provided with funds the Corps says it is capable of using during fiscal year 1964 to carry out its plans. President Kennedy recently recommended that less than the capability be appropriated for Indiana and all other states. The President proposed spending $43,059,900 on projects affecting Indiana. This is false economy, Senator Hartke declared. In a statement to the Public Works Subcommittees of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees, Senator Hartke said full Corps capability should be used for Indiana projects to improve Hoosier economy. Also making statements were representatives of the Wabash Valley Association, the Ohio Valley Improvement Association and others. The Wabash Valley Association was represented by a delegation of about 75 persons, headed by Henry Wallace, president, of Crossville, 111., and George Gettinger, executive vice president, of Sullivan, Ind. “Again this past winter,” Senator Hartke said, “extensive flooding caused physical suffering and economic loss for residents of Indiana’s rich agricultural land and those living in metropolitan areas . . . My state continues to be ready to enthusiastically carry out a water resources program that will result ih booming development of natural resources ... Delay in development greatly increases cost (of flood control and navigation projects) because of the steadily rising price of construction material and labor ... A lag in the program for modernizing the main stream of the Ohio river is quite evident ... If obsolescent navigation facilities are not replaced on an accelerated schedule, the shipping advantages of the Ohio river will be denied to a large share of the potential users by the end of the 1960’5. This would be a staggering blow to the Ohio River Valley economy.” RECEIVES DEGREE AT FORT WAYNE Miss Patricia Anne Hummel of Syracuse graduated from the Executive Secretarial school of International college on June 6 with an associate BSC degree. She has accepted a secretarial position with Zollner Corporation in Fort Wayne. Miss Hummel graduated from Syracuse high school with the class of 1961. Her extra curricular interests were centered in music. During her tenure at International she was an active member of Theta Alpha Chi sorority. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Hummel of Syracuse.

EMPLOYMENT GAIN SHOWN IN MID-MAY An early tabulation of Indiana’s non-farm employment at mid-May shows that about 12,500 more people have jobs than in April. Lewis F. Nicolini, director of the Indiana Employment Security Division, said that employers reported a total of approximately 1,496,400 employees last month and that the figure was about 28,900 over the May 1962 total. Both manufacturing and nonmanufacturing employment increased from April to May. Os the non-manufacturing industries, construction firms had the largest gain. Manufacturing industries also had some seasonal improvement. Demand for steel and automobiles helped expand employment in these and several related industries. Mr. Nicolini said unemployment was estimated at 65,500, the lowest May figure since 1955. A year ago, unemployment in May was estimated at 78,600. Last month the seasonally adjusted rate was 3.9 per cent, down 0.-1 per cent from April.
