Just A Fair Chance Writing in the New York Times, Robert Metz: “The Treasury is considering a new tax step designed to make United States industry more competitive with that of Western Europe. The plan is to increase depreciation allowances to compensate for the rise in replacement costs caused by inflation.” Under Secretary of the Treasury Fowler has stressed the urgency of such a step. Suppose a piece of equipment cost a man SIO,OOO 20 years ago. He has been depreciating i,t at that SIO,OOO rate, and at the end of the 20 years has that much on hand to buy the needed replacement. But in instance after instance the replacement may cost $40,000 or even more. The

DON FRANTZ County Agriculture -Agent The Tri-State Drainage and Water Conservation Field Day will be held July 31 and August 1 in Noble county. Conservationists, drainage engineers and extension personnel from Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan are taking part in tjie program which will include demonstrations and exhibits of soil and water conservation techniques. One of the features of the program will include an air tour of the area over various routes. Some will cover a 12-mile radius, others a 30-mile radius from the site of the exhibits. The longer tours will cover Kosciusko county. Some of the points of interest in this county on the air tour will be the Tri-State farm at North Webster, the Alton Brown farm where contour strip cropping is in practice, the Fred Leasure farm where contour cultivation, diversion terraces, ponds and windbreaks may be seen from the air. The homes of 4-H garden club members will be visited July 24-26 to inspect and judge the 4-H garden projects. Judging will be done in Plain, Jefferson, Van Buren, Turkey Creek and Tippecanoe townships on the 24th; and, in Prairie, Etna, Harrison, Franklin, Seward, Clay, and Wayne on the

difference must come out of his pocket, if it is to come from anywhere. If-not, he must continue to use old and more or less obsolete equipment which cuts the ground out from under his ability to compete with aggressive European producters” whose countries, in most instances, follow much more liberal and farsighted depreciation policies. This is a bread-and-butter matter affecting, one way or another, all the millions who want to find their first job, or a new job, or a better job — including the great numbers of youngsters who enter the labor market each year. American industry doesn’t ask any governmental favors in its efforts to compete in the world markets. It just asks a fair chance.

and spiritual. refreshment. She suggests seeing how many different kinds of trees, shrubs, grasses and flowers you can find with them. Look up the one you don’t know in nature books. Or, watch birds of insects and observe tfieir habits. Encourage your children to make collections of things that interest them. They might make a scrapbook of special items. Help them plant their own gardens. Let them raise a pet. Help your children form the habit of using the public library, she recommends. Children can find many hours of enjoyment in reading.

25th. The wind-up will be in Washington, Monroe, Jackson, and Lake on the final day. July is weigh-up month in the Hoosier Gold Medal Livestock projects and we are receiving weight cards for beef cattle and sheep. Purebred livestock producers use this method of identifying the livestock families that have the- ability to gain and there is probably no better way to prove the value of sires than through the Gold Medal projects. The calves are nominated in February and are weighed in July. Steers and bulls must gain .two pounds a day, heifers must make a pound and a half. If they do,'they are then eligilbe to compete in one of the gold medal shows Which are held at Goshen, Muncie, Crbwn Point, and Indianapolis. This procedure gives a purebred breeder an opportunity to check the gaining ability of his livestock and then take it into the showring to check the type. If he has both, then he is on the right track for developing his herd. Those who have so far made the required weights include a shorthorn heifer owned by Ted Davis of Milford, several Angus from the herd of D. L. Harrold and family of Akron, Bill Langohr and family of Pierceton and Max Nellans and lambs from the flock of Wilbur Latimer, also a purebred Hampshire ewe owned by Mr. and Mrs. Jim Thomas of Atwood. It looks as if we should get ready to do some fall seeding of alfalfa. The grass and legume crops that have been seeded in wheat and oats are in serious

trouble due to the drought and at best some of the, stands will be reduced. The idle land left in feed grain reserve would make an excellent place for a fall seeding. It can be plowed and worked a few times as time permits and be ready to seed in late August or early September. One wise guy said the other day that the best time to do the seeding was the day before a good rain. But we will get fall rains and if the seed is ready to start in a well made seed bed it can be in good shape next spring. We got away from fall seedings a year ago. We had no tools to do the entire job with and in trying to use a drill to make the seeding we simply got it too deep. One of the best stands that I have seen this year was seeded last fall by Dale Mikel in Jefferson township. He worked the ground and then used a cultipacker and every other round he rode the outside end with a hand seeder so it would be pressed into the ground the next time around. That’s about the right depth for fall seedings. The key to good stands is a good seedbed, worked fine but packed well, then a shallow seeding. Then if we get the rain we will have the stand pretty nearly weed-free. FISHING EXCELLENT NE Indiana Lake fishing is reported excellent with some large pike being taken trolling, weighing 10 to 12 pounds, from Lake Wawasee. Catches of panfish are reported being caught on worms and crawlers in the evening. Smallmouth bass are hitting in Pigeon river on bee moths, and artificial bait. This area is experiencing some of its best fishing this year. NW Indiana Fishing has slowed down in the northwestern counties. The smaller lakes are low and murky with fishing reported as fair. Some bluegills, bass and channel catfish are being taken from the Tippecanoe and Kankakee rivers, using artificial bait, minnows, worms, and flies. Several catches of channel catfish are being taken from Bass lake. , F— ——. ■ ' Everett Stays On As Police Head Major George A.

OPEN THE DOOR FOR THE GRADS

Dear Amy: What good is it to go through high school and get a diploma? I graduated from high school and so far, I’m not working. The kids who dropped out of school got jobs (not the kind high school graduates can (?) get) but at least they found some type of work. The funny part of looking for a job is that I am expected to have experience. How can employers expect experience when I have been working towards my graduation and diploma. The only way that could have been achieved would have been for me to go to school in the morning, study in the evening and work during the night. So when would I sleep? Another way of getting a job is through someone you know. But if you don’t know the right people, no one will hire you WITHOUT EXPERIENCE! So tell me, Amy, do you think it’s fair to graduate from school and be told “you can’t get a job here because you don’t have work experience”? High School Grad Dear Grad: ; An employer who wants to hire a recent high school grad knows he doesn’t have experience. The employer who uses this excuse wouldn’t hire you anyway. But there are thousands of firms that will hire graduates without experience. Os course, it all depends on your approach. You’ve sold me —now start banging on the right doors and sell yourself! • • * Dear Amy: Recently you said there are few home today that do not have liquor on hand for special occasions. That is what you people who have liquor on hand think. I know very few homes that have liquor or serve it on any occasion. It all depends on who you choose for your friends. How very true the old saying, “Birds of a feather flock together.” Sorry to see you advocate liquor in the home! Disillusioned Dear Disillusioned: I’m an active and honorary member of many national organizations that oppose alcoholism. Eut I see nothing wrong in having bottle of something stronger

You are being naive, madam, or you are not accustomed to custom! • • • Dear Amy: Last month I was given a surprise bridal shower. Os the many gifts I received, there were two toasters and two mix-masters. I want to know if it’s proper to take back one of each of these gifts because I can’t use two of them. If it’s all right to take them back, should I mention it to the people who gave them to me? Janice Dear Janice: . It’s perfectly all right to exchange the ‘doubles’ for something else you can use. If the people are frequent visitors, you should tell them. They’ll understand. * * • Dear Amy: My uncle (he’s 20) has been living with my parents and me since June of 1962 and I’ve taken a liking to him. r, A week before Christmas he kissed me under the mistletoe and I teased him about it (later) that it wasn’t very affectionate. So, he kissed me again and all I can say is, “WOW!” Ever since then, we’ve been sneaking kisses whenever we can. I made a New Year’s resolution to force myself to stay away from him. But every time he takes me in his arms and kisses me, J just melt and respond to him. What can I do? I’m desperate, believe me! Lame Brain Dear Lame Brain: (and I think you are!) No selfrespecting, healthy-minded people behave like you and your uncle. You are responsible for ‘egging’ him on, so, if you know what’s good for you, you will ‘break it up.’ If your parents aren’t wise tc •Uncle,’ someone should put them wise so they can put him out! • * * For a personal reply enclose s stamped, self-addressed envelope.

From Warsaw were Virginia Rose Arnold, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Max Arnold, 927 Country Club Dr., and Carla Maria Wells, daughter of Mrs. Charles Wells, 733 N. Lake. Both are graduates of Warsaw Community high school.

Bourbon's Fair Won't Be Held This Year BOURBON — For the first time in nearly three-quarters of a century the Bourbon fair will not be held this year.

She added many of the present 50 stockholders reside in other states and seldom attend or take active part in organizational matters of the fair. She stated further that persons will not take the responsibility of running the age-old organization.

Robert Frost - Poet And Teacher This is not a late, testimonial to the recent Robert Frost, but it is a note on his personality and character worth mentioning. It seems appropriate in view of the fact that many editorial writers described the late, famous poet as a man who was possessed of a homely nature and who was a poet speaking in warm and simple truths. This was not Robert Frost It is just a nice-sounding tribute to a man now departed. His sense of humor was far above the ordinary, homely slant. One of the best stories to illustrate the unusual approach he followed was that related by a newspaperman in New York. He interviewed Frost at Amherst college in Massachusetts, where he was teaching English. He quoted him as saying that he hated examinations for the students, though he had to give them at the end of the course because it was a rule of the college. But, he said, he made them as simple as he could. “Once for the examination I asked the question, “What good did my course do for you?” and requested brief replies. The answer I liked best was, ‘not a dam bit.” The newspaper man asked whether that student had passed. "I gave him 90 per cent,” Frost replied. The reporter asked why he had not received 100 per cent. “He left the ‘n’ off the damn,” Frost answered. That was Frost’s sense of hu-
