Yet, at year’s end, the record will read something like this: —About 1,500 homes destroyed or damaged by fire each day. —More than $1.5 billion in property losses during the year. —Some 11,800 lives lost, one-third of them children. —Disfigurement of thousands upon thousands of other fire victims. —Countless payless pay days because
Death In The Hunting Season
Another hunting season is upon the land. Millions of Americans will take to the woods this fall in quest of every form of game from cottontail rabbits to Canadian moose. All will go with high hopes of success and, of returning proudly home with filled bags. But, the American Medical Association tells us at least 200 of these hunters will not return under their own They’ll be brought back dead — the victims of hunting accidents involving guns. The rules of gun safety are fairly voluminous — but they’re also simple, founded on the hard rock of down-to-earth common sense. Here are some of the basics: Know what you’re firing at before you pull the trigger — which means be certain that rustle ip the brush was made
Newspaper-People Affinity
By Roscoe Drummond More Americans are reading newspapers more thoroughly than ever before. There must be a reason. Despite the decline in the total number of newspapers, total newspaper circulation in the United States today is at an all-time high. There must be a reason. The reason must have something to do with newspapers—and people. There is a special affinity between them, between newspapers and people. People must feel a great identity of interest with their newspapers. One of the reasons may well be that the printed word requires more of its readers than any other media. Readers get more out of newspapers because they put more of themselves—more of their own thinking —into their newspapers. 4 I do not speak disparagingly of other news media; quite the opposite. I think that radio and television reporting is a tremendous boon to our democracy. Radio and television reporting greatly expands the surface of public knowledge. In my judgment most newspapers “ greatly expand the depth of public know-
Editor's Mail Bag Chet Brown, Key Man In Organizing Soil Conservation District Chet and Edythe Brown, formerly of Syracuse, are well-known Kosciusko county farm people. They developed one of the best Jersey dairy herds in Indiana and were active in a good many civic programs. Chet was a key man in organizing the Soil conservation District ip the north part of the county, Mrs; Brown was a member of the county extension board. For several years they had thought about what they could do to help other people develop their own food production. Last fall they sold their cattle and equipment and offered their services to the International Voluntary Services, Inc. This is not a governmental program but the U. S.- does help in coordinating it. They were sent to Laos and here is their first reportLETTER RECEIVED FROM THE CHESTER BROWNS The following is a letter received , from the Chester Browns for publication.

fire wiped out or interrupted steady jobs. These are the costs of negligence, carelessness or heedlessness. This need not be so. The best advice that can be offered is: “Don’t give fire a place to start.” Succinctly stated, this suggests that most fires are avoidable. The sheer waste and agony of fires can be curtailed by taking a hard look at our habits and removing tlie hazards which cause fires. Why. not resolve that now is a good time to safety-check your house to protect your most precious assets —your-family and your home ?
by a deer, and not another hunter. Never climb through or over a fence without first unloading the gun. Never look down the barrel of a gun to see if it’s loaded. And keep the safety on until you’re ready to shoot. Keep guns and ammunition away from children. Be absolutely sure guns carried into camp or home are unloaded. Keep them cased until your hunting area is reached. Remember that alcohol and guns can be a lethal mixture. In sum, treat a gun with the respect it deserves. Work on the principle that it’s always loaded and ready to fire, even though you know it isn’t. Then all the armies of hunters — yourself included — will come home under their own power.
ledge. The fullest, the most dramatic, the most conclusive evidence that newspapers are really crucial to the lives of most Americans—and, indeed, to their very way of life—is what happened in New York, Minneapolis and Cleveland when newspaper strikes left these cities newspaperless for months. Something very meaningful, something taken for granted when it was present but greatly prized when, abruptly, it was absent, went out of the lives of .millions- of people in these communities when the printed word can be supplemented by other media, it cannot be replaced as the most reliable, the most accessable, the most meaty and the most satisfying source of information and insight in this anxious world. During the long strikes the newspaper was grievously missed — and nothing was able to take its place. That is what I mean when I say there is a special affinity between newspapers—between the printed word — and people. Nothing could take their place and it is our duty to make newspapers continuously better so that nothing can take their place.
Indiana and here we are now living in an apartment in Vientiane | half-way around the world-unbeli-evable. During our stay in Tokyo we shopped in many of the beautiful stores, got lost in the slums, toured the beautiful country side surrounding the city, and toured some of the Japanese gardens and Pagodas. While in Hong Kong we visited many of the small shops for which the city is so famous. These places sells clothing, watches, - cameras appliances, jewelry and so forth. In fact it is difficult to think of anything that can’t be purchased 1 somewhere in one of these shops. During our brief stay we took a ferry over to Hong Kong proper and viewed the city and harbor * with the many ships at anchor from the observation floor of the I Hong Kong Hilton hotel. This is the view for which Hong Kong is * famoiis. From this vantage’ point ©ne can ’ see the beautiful new buildings, 3 the sampan area and the slums. } We took .a ferry to the part of the r harbor where the sampans are located. These are boats where people make their homes. Whole families live their entire lives on these boats without ever living on land, such Iving conditions are almost beyond description. Since bur arrival in Laos, we V* certainly have. seen many new things. Laos is known as “The II Land of . the Million Elephants” but I think it should be known as “The Land of the Million Bicycles” It seems that everyone owns a -t bicycle or motorcycle, the streets
are literally filled with them. The e I automobiles consist mostly of jeep s type vehicles, with some small * foreign cars and occasionally an s American auto. Since the different x types of vehicles appartently don’t a cause enough of a traffic problem, „ the pedestrians walk along the edge of the streets. If this still does not spell out complete chaos to you, add an amply supply of children and dogs along with a good number of ox carts and water buffalo with hundreds of “sam laws” thrown in. . “Sam Laws” are a cross between a 1 bicycle and a rickshaw, the front ‘ is like a bicycle and a man pedals « it instead of pushing it by. hand, • they haul two passengers if they ' don’t mind being squeezed. ‘ Since we have been here, we ] have had a rather busy schedule ’ including four and a half hours of ’ language study each day besides J lectures on the function of USAID ‘ , in Laos, the work and expecta- i tions and aims of IVS and its ’ relation to USAID and the Royal j ' Laotian goverment. 5 As time as permitteid, we have 1 5 been taken out to experimental i j farms and projects carried on by 1 TVS and USAID. Also we have had ' I numerous forms to fill out for 1 e identification cards, Laotian driver’s licenses, visas, commisary e cartes and so forth. r We will spend’about another ten e days here before going out to our ” assigned area ‘ for a two week s introduction to our work in the ” field. Following this we will return a, to Vientiane for a few more days s training and then back to our

HE HAS 100,000 GOOD INTENTIONS!
Dear Amy: I’m 30 years old and in love with a girl of 20. Am I crazy? The girl is everything I ever wanted in a woman and more. Above everything else, I want her to be happy. I’ve been told I’m old enough to be her father. I do not feel this is true. There is nothing on the face of this earth I wouldn’t do or give this girl. Soon I will be worth over one hundred thousand dollars due to the sale of some land I own. With this kind of money this girl would want for nothing. Am I too old for her or should I fight to the gates of hell for her? Mixed Up Dear Mixed Up: Whether you are too old for the girl depends on the girl and how she feels about you. The gates of hell are paved with good intentions and a hundred thousand intentions are the best odds a potential winner can have. « * • Dear Amy: Could you please give me your opinion. Should a girl remove the hair from her legs? x I am 16. Last year Mom and Dad very reluctantly gave me permission because it was making me so unhappy and self-conscious. They made it very plain that they didn’t want me to shave my legs, but to use a cream hair-remover. Mom thinks I should use it only when the hair on my legs starts getting long and noticeable. She says you can remove the hair, but not the root, and that the pores become larger and the hair coarser until I will have whiskers all over my legs. What do you say? Is she right? Confused Dear Confused: A girl should remove the hair from her legs when it becomes noticeable. No ‘do-it-yourself’ method will cause the pores to become larger, nor the hair to grow in thicker, nor will it destroy the root. The method used is not important, but good grooming is! ♦ ♦ • Dear Amy: I’ve been married 12 years. I have three children, a wonderful husband and everything a wife

The people of Laos are real friendly and when we say to them in Our very, Very limited Laotian “Tschiow So Bi Dee Baah? (How are you?) we got a great big smile and “So Bi Dee” in return. We hope, as time goes on, that we can gain many friends here and in some small way help these people in some of the many ways that they need help.

could ask for. But, I have a problem. A lot of people envy me because we live the American way. Because my husband lets me go to work, drive a car and do a lot of other things which a housewife should be allowed to do, people talk about me. They even have said that I am running around with, other men. If this gets to my husband’s ears, how could I show him and let him know this is not true? 1 swear I never have cheated on him, but the gossip has me worried, and I get awfully nervous.

The seasons and bag limits are as follows: Pheasants: — November 10 thru December 7, 1963. This is an increase of one week over the 1962 season. Surveys made by Division of Fish and Game biologists indicate that there are more cocks available in the spring than are necessary for successful reproduction. This additional week provides more hunting opportunities without hurting the population. The bag limit will be the same as last year, 2 cocks per day and 4 in possession. Quail — November 10 thru December 20, 1963, with a bag limit of 10 per day and 30 in possession after the third day. Rabbit -— November 10, 1963 thru January 10, 1964. The bag limit is 5 per day and 10 in possession. Hungarian Partridge — November 10 thru December 20, 1963, with a bag limit of 5 per day and 10 in possession. Since Sunday hunting is prohibited in Indiana the first day will be November 11, and hunting will begin at 8:00 a.m. in those counties using Central Standard Time or 9:00 a.m. in those counties using Eastern Standard Time. This time schedule applies to the first day only. In addition to setting the dates and bag limits, the 1963 regulations prevent the hunting, shooting, killing, capturing or pursuing of rabbit, quail, Hungarian partridge, or pheasant by means,: aid or use of a motbrdriven conveyance or motor vehicle.

? ■ ■ Corn Harvesting Time Again LAFAYETTE—Harvest beginning when the corn moisture content is just under §0 per cent represents the best time from the standpoint of both profit and safety, points out Ray Lien, Pulp due university agricultures! engineer. At this time corn usually is standing well; this reduces accid-ent-inducing clogging : of she harvester. Too, field losses of ear com increase sharply from th© time com reaches 22 per cent moisture. Thus, early harvesting is desirable regardless of the type machine used. i Lien says that harvest system? vary widely in field losses. For instance, picker huskers average 15 per cent com left in the field; picker shelters eight per cent ana corn combines five per cent. ■! Keeping the harvest machine in good operating condition meani taking the maximum amount of com from the field, Lien emphasizes.
