Henry F. Schricker of Knox, the only man in Hoosier history who was ever elected twice to the office of Governor of Indiana, will reach the ripe old age of 80 Friday, Aug. 30. He is active and in good health, spending most of his time quietly with his wife in their home on South Main street in Knox. Over the week end he attended the annual meeting of the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association at French Lick, where he received honors and tributes from the leaders of his 5 party. Last week he
The Penalty Is Up
The penalty is now one to seven years in prison, since the 1963 laws went - into effect last week, for parents, guardians or others who have care or custody of children and who abuse them or abandon them. Mistreatment of children by heartless, adults is a part of human .behavior that is very difficult to comprehend. However, it seems to have been on the increase during the past few years. This was the thinking of the Indiana General Assembly when it provided the tougher law last spring. Indiana statutes now contain the former penalty as an alternate. Under this statute, anyone convicted of abusing or abandoning a child could get six months in jail and a SSOO fine. Considering the 350 new laws now in effect, many others seem to have much merit. The severity of the penalty for arm-
FARM j: NOTESIGi3r=
DON FRANTZ County Agriculture Agent The Holstein-Friesian Association sends ,us this report on herdsin this area that have' completed' production records. The herd of i Emra Stookey, Prairie View Stock I Farm, has 26 completed production records averaging 13,842 pounds of milk and 522 pounds of butterfat. Harold Wilson has 13 completed production records av- ■ eraging 15,969 pounds »of milk and 620 pounds of butterfat. These are on registered Holstein cows. The annual swine day program at Purdue will be held Sept. 6. Tours of the experimental lots on the swine ’farm will, be conducted from 8 to 10 a. m. with the afternoon program being held in the Music Hall. Up The northeastern Indiana Farm Management tour will be held on Sept. 10 in DeKalb county. One of the stops will be an interesting one in which two young dairymen have pooled their capital and labor to meet the competition in modem agriculture. They alternate the chores of milking on a : two week basis. We keep getting the question as to how much lime to use on lawns because there' is moss present. Moss in itself is not ah indicator of a sour soil but it is one of the very common beliefs all over the state. Moss will grow on limestone quarries. This usually is a symptom of low fertility, poor water conditions or of some other condition that causes the grass to thin out. If the moss isn’t too thick usually a good feeding of he grass will remedy the situation. If it is exxtremely thick then a seed bed would need to be prepared and new seed added. Lime itself will do nothing for the most basic food of grass and it may encourage an unwanted growth of clover. Most mid-west lawns do not need any lime. MINOR ACCIDENT IN MILFORD Jack Wolferman and Samuel Welker, both of Milford, were involved in a minor accident Friday, Aug. 16 at 7 p.m. in Milford. • Wolferman, driving a 1955 Ford, was backing from a parking place on Main street when his car was hit in the rear by Welker. Damage was estimated at $125 to, Wolferman’s car and $l5O to the 1961 Oldsmobile FBS driven by Welker. Milford night officer David Hart investigated the accident. No arrests were made.
was honored by the Pottawattomi Council of Boy Scouts in LaPorte county. He still has an active interest in Boy Scouts. In a day of deficit spending, his friends proudly recall the fact that he left the governor’s office in 1953 with a surplus of 80 million dollars in the state treasury. Today, 10 years later, the state is close to a red-ink condition. Mr. Schricker said, “No government should spend more than it receives,” adding, “But that seems to be an unpopular belief these days.”
ed resistance against arrest by a peace officer, or interference with such arrest is increased. Punishment now can be as much as one to five years’ imprisonment and a fine of SI,OOO. Driving an automobile while under the influence of alcohol is joined by driving under the influence of narcotics. Wrongful use of a credit card belonging to another can result in being charged with a felony. The person to whom it was issued can also find difficulty if he uses it after it has been revoked, canceled, expired, or falsified. It is now a misdemeanor. This is one of the few times we have been able to congratulate the GA. Several violations which needed stiffer penalties have been taken care of by the new laws. We are happy the legislature took the proper action. — Hoosier (Flora) Democrat

Waterfowl Hunting Season Selected 1 The Division of Fish and "Same announces the selection of open hunting -season dates on geese, ducks, and coots.’The 70-day open season on geese, ah extension of 10 days more than last year, will be split. It will extend from sunrise, Oct. 19 to sunset Dec. 14; and the second period from noon, Dec. 20 to sunset Jan. 1. The daily bag and possession limit is five geese which will not include in the alternative more than two Canada geese or subspecies. The 32-day split duck and ! coot hunting season includes the periods from noon, Nov. 8 to sunset, Nov. 30, and from noon, Dec. 20, to sunset, Dec. 28. The daily bag limit may not include more than two wood ducks and two mallards or black ducks, singly or in the aggregate. The basic limits on ducks are four daily and eight in possession, and on coots, eight daily and 16 in possession. In selecting the dates for the split seasons on both ducks an geese, the Division of Fish ana Game has considered the desires of hunters in both northern and southern Indiana. Approximately two-thirds of the migratory waterfowl (hunters reside in the north! em one-third of the state. The longer period in the first split season is designed for that section. The holiday period of Christmas and New Years will be included in

Dear Amy: I had been going out with a wonderful fellow who took me to all the nice places. He must of spent a small fortune on our good times. Suddenly, he just dropped out of sight and I never heard frojn him again. I finally found out that he lost his job and has no moneg to take me, or any other girl, out. How can I let him know that I value his friendship more than his ability to afford good times for me? Sharon Dear Sharon: Your fellow, without knowing it, has invested his ‘small fortune’ wisely.

the second split season when the best flights of ducks and geese should be present on rivers and impoundments in central and southern Indiana.
The number of ponds -and . the general water situation in the southern prairie provinces of katechewan and Manitoba shew much improvement over 1962. Due to the limited number of breeding birds returning last spring, only a moderate increase in the faill flights of ducks is expected. However, this permitted the doubling of the daily bag and possession limits and the addition of seven more days in the split season of 32 days, as contrasted with the 25-day continuous season in 1962.

Amy. I was married to an angel and didn’t realize it at the time. I would do anything to get her back, but I don’t know what to do. She is on my mind constantly and I can’t be without her. I got myself into this predicament. Please, Amy, tell me how I can get her back again? Sid J. Dear Sid: Kick yourself . . . hard! You had your chance. She’s married now and you will have to be content in the knowledge that she has found happiness. That’s more than you were able to give her. • • * Dear Amy: I am one of eight children and was brought up and raised on a farm. All my life I watched how hard my mother worked, raising the children and helping my father with a million and one chores. She never had time to rest —not even on Sunday. I made up my mind a long time ago that this kind of life wasn’t for me. I’m 20 years old now and I guess it’s time I thought about getting myself a husband. I’ve been poor all my life, so I’ve decided I would rather be a rich man’s ‘Darling than a poor man’s ‘Slave.’ Enclosed you will find my picture so you can see my assets. Perhaps you know a millionaire who would like to merge? Cookie Dear Cookie: Your assets are fine for a chorus line, but considering that only 274 men in the U.S. paid income tax on a million dollars last year, your chances are pretty slim. Take a tip from me and put your assets into something substantial—like manage, otherwise, you might wind up ‘bankrupt.’ • • • PERSONAL TO Dr. D.: A woman may consent to forgive and forget, but she will never drop the habit of referring to the matter now and then. • * • For a personal reply enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope.

Traffic Safety First For Back- i To-School It’s that time of the year again. School bells will soon be ringing, j calling back to the class room the millions of grade school, high school and college students. Leaving summer jobs and fun to return to that institution known as education requires a great deal of planning. School supplies and clothes must be purchased, a new curriculum of studies must be mapped out and in most homes the whole daily schedule must be changed. Perhaps its Johnny going off to the first grade or Mary off to her first year in college. Whatever the sitnation, one tiding that must be observed/by all is traffic safety. With all the literature that is issued each year it would almost seem that traffic safety is a losing battle. Here is a comparison of figures that illustrates that much has been accomplished in overcoming traffic hazards, but that much more is to be done. In 1941 In 1941 there were 1,473 traffic deaths in the state of Indiana, over the 90,323 miles of roadways. The national rate of deaths per 100 million vehicle miles was 12.6 while the state rate was 15.5. In 1951 there were 1,247 traffic fatalities for 95,969 miles of road. The national rate was down to 7.6 and state rate down to 8.4. In 1961 there were 1,081 traffic deaths, a reduction of 400 in 20 years, over 102,028 miles of road. The national rate was 5.2 that year and the state rate for once was below the national at 5.0.- This past year officials of the Indiana Office of Traffic Safety say that we had 1,227 deaths due to traffic accidents on 103,127 miles of Indiana roads. The national rate was 5.3 and the state rate again surpassed it with a 5.4. So even though the number of drivers and miles of road increases each year, the number of fatalities seems to have decreased. But so many of these accidents could have been averted.
