The Value Os Seat Belts

The importance of using seat belts in cars is something stressed by police officers all the time. More and more auto manufacturers are putting seat belts in cars as standard equipment. State trooper Herschel Harper points to the fatal accident just west of Syracuse Sunday night, the one which claimed the life of Warren Rummel of Milford, as a

Memorial To JFK

Since the sudden, saddening death of President Kennedy there has been a rash of memorials in his good name. Would the re-naming of a park, street, or beach in the Lakeland area be a fitting memorial to the late President ? We think it might be worth.considering. Everywhere in America (arid elsewhere) they’re honoring the late President Kennedy. The Beckley (W. Va.) Post-lleraid has proposed that West Virginia be renamed “Kennedy, or perhaps Kennediana,” saying he called it the. state he held “most dear, after his own state.”? President Johnson changed Cape Canaveral’s name, which dates back at least 36 years, to Cape Kennedy. He had asked the Post Office Department earlier to issue a stamp in Kennedy’s honor. The Paris city council named a com-

Remember Those Who Help Us . . .

We help ourselves when we help those who help us I This is a statement of fact with which we can all agree. Yet, sometimes we forget it. This is particularly true when it comes to business and to buying things. We go out of town to buy the same things we can buy right in our midst — spending the money we make in our community to help some other community. Frequently we could have made the same purchases for about the same amount of money, and saved ourselves the cost of the trip to say nothing of the time and bother. We owe our community loyalty. This is true of governmental units as well as of individuals, and of business men. Our governmental units receive many favors from local business firms, to say nothing of the amount of taxes paid by the local business firms to help support our local

DON FRANTZ County Agriculture Agent The income tax and social securitymeeting is scheduled for the afternoon of Dec. 17. This program was scheduled by the home demonstration clubs but it is open to anyone interested. Dr. Paul Robbins bf the agricultural economics staff at Purdue and representatives of the social security district offices will be in charge. The meeting will be held at the new fairgrounds Shrine building and will start at 1:30. A group of Kosciusko county poultrymen met a few days ago to look over the trends in egg marketing. Things are changing and procedures of buying and selling may have to be adjusted too. While the egg production in certain parts of the south are growing rapidly, we are also increasing production in this county and there are always some who live in fear of over-production. This will probably happen and there will be times of depressed prices. Just X-hen and how long they will last (is not known. are in the middle of a vast area of consumers. There are a lot of people in the northeastern part of the United States. The eight states east of the Mississippi river and north of the Ohio river and the southern boundary of Pennsylvania have about .80 million people, almost as many as the rest of the country. We are in a very favorable market position to produce for this area. The three states that adjoin us, Ohio, Illinois, and Michigan, import about nine million cases of eggs per year over and above what they

case in point. Officer Harper points out that the sudden impact against a tree caused young Rummel to be thrown into' the steering column, resulting in his death. He states that most certainly his chances would have been better had he used the seat belts in the car. We can hardly argue with this judgement.

mittee to pick a street that will be named Avenur or Rue John Fitzgerald Kennedy. In Lincoln, Neb., LaVerne Holscher has asked the 19 property owners on the two-block street where he lives to agree to change the name to “Kennedy Drive.” Sen. Alan Bible, D-Nev., proposed that 50 million silver dollars expected to be minted next year bear the image of Kennedy. Schools in Butte, Mont., and Bethpage, N. Y., have been named for Kennedy and dozens of other school districts are considering such suggestions. Proposed memorials also include dozens of parks, squares and highways, an airport, a cultural and civic centers, dams and scholarships. In Dallas, where Kennedy was assassinated, the city’s park board is considering several proposals to establish memorials in Kennedy’s name.

governments. We believe these things should be taken into consideration when buying is being done. A slight difference in cost may be lost many times in inconveniences, extra charges — plus the amount of taxes which may be lost when a local source is bypassed. Whenever anything of a community nature comes along our'local business people are solicited for donations, contributions and services Lakeland business people have always been generous with their giving for anything which comes along which will be of benefit for our community. They deserve our support in every way possible if they are to continue this type of support to our communiy. Community loyalty is something we can all w ork- at.

produce. The concensus of our group is that someone is going to produce the eggs somewhere and we have the . alternatives of doing our share of it or getting out. The deep South with their cheaper labor and lower cost housing and integrated capital are tough 'competitors but we have the ■ advantage of nearness to markets, feed supply and the strength of private ownership. We may very well be entering a showdown in egg producing areas. In this area we are in the process of marshaling capital and management in the egg business as it appears we do not intend for the business to be run out as was the broiler business. It is advisable for those planning to plant trees next spring to order them now. Last year the supply of many varieties was exhausted by January. Order blanks and instructions for ordering may be obtained from the county extension office or soil conservation office. These blanks list kinds of trees available, best uses for each type of . tree and prices. County agricultural stabilization and conservation offices have information on cost sharing for tree planting projects. Among the hardwood, Lott recommends tulip poplar and walnut for filling in openings in a woods. Black locust makes excellent fence posts. This species requires fertile soil and drainage good enough to promote rapid growth. Os the conifers, White pine and Red pine (or Norway .pine) are best adapted for general planting in Indiana and also make the best timber and windbreak trees. Jack Pine, which grows well on sandy soil, is recommended for planting only in northern Indiana on sandy or droughty areas. Virginia pitch and shortleaf pine should be planted only in southern Indiana are excellent pines for poor land sites. The nurseries al-

so have bald cypress for planting in wet areas. The remaining conifer available in the -Scotch pine which should be used exclusively for Christmas trees since it is not recommended as a timber species in Indiana. The White pine and red pine are also used for Christmas trses. TOM LEMON RALLY TOBE HELD JAN. 11 Postponement of a rally and dinner honoring Thomas L. Lemon, Democratic candidate for Governor, was announced today by Mrs. Agnes Woolery, Monroe County Democratic chairman. “Out of respect for our late President John F. Kennedy and in keeping with the spirit of national mourning the date for the dinner honoring Tom Lemon has been changed from December 13 to Saturday, January 11. “The dinner will be held at the new National Guard Armory, highway 37, south of Bloomington, at 6:30 p.m.” Indiana Draft Goldwater Committee Observes Moratorium We are snocked and stunned by the barbaric assassination of our President John Fitzgerald Kennedy by a self-proclaimed Marxist and a supporter of Communist Distator Fidel Castro. Our sympathy arid most profound condolences go to Mrs. Kennedy and the other members of the Kennedy family in their hour of grief. In deference to the memory of the late President and in keeping with the unanimous pledges of Republicans and Democrats alike, the Indiana Draft Goldwater Committee will observe a moratorium on public activity during the period of national mourning.

EARNINGS DON’T MATCH YEARNINGS

Dear Amy: I have a lovely wife and four wonderful children whom I adore. I have a good job and have been working on the night shift for a couple of years now. To get to the point, my wife seems to get bored and impatient with me because I don’t make as much money as some members of her family do. It’s true that I haven’t been able to work real steady all the time due to layoffs and sometimes faults of my own. But, I try my best to keep working as long as I can even when I get laid off. What I would like to know is how I can explain this to her and make her quit nagging me all the time without hurting her feelings. Sincerely Bewildered Dear Bewildered: I’m inclined to think her poverty is only a state of mind sometimes induced by a relative’s new car. Don’t be too concerned by the ‘Chairman of the Bored.’ A woman who is always kicking seldom has a leg to stand on! * * * Dear Amy: Recently my boyfriend and his parents asked me to spend a weekend with them in Philadelphia and then tour the city. I would like to know if it would be proper to wear a housecoat to the breakfast table each morning, or come dressed in the attire I plan to wear for that day. Wondering Dear Wondering: A housecoat would not be proper. Dress in the attire you plan to wear for the day. ♦ ♦ • Dear Amy: I have a daughter-in-law who forbids my son to see me. He has three children and he cannot let me see them either. But on Mother’s Day, he sent a bouquet to my daughter’s house and I refused to take it home with me. I feel if I can’t see him, I don’t need his gifts ... at Christmas, either. He’s sent me money also and I’ve lent it right back to him. Am I right in doing this? I am 60 years old and I feel that timp is growing short for me and I am hurt to think that he is not allowed to come and see me. I am married for the second time and very happy. I have three other married children and they

all like my husband. But my son’s wife does not have time for me or his family as we are Catholics and she is a Lutheran. Apparently we do not live up to her standards of life. Maybe you can give me the answer. Should I have accepted these gifts? Mrs. E. M. Dear Mrs. E. M.t Yes! Accept every overture and gift that your son makes to you. It shows, in spite of his wife, he loves you still. He is not to blame entirely for the situation he finds himself in. His wife is obviously cruel and bigoted, but he must live with her . . . her way to keep peace in his house. Why inflict more hurt upon him? He’s hurt enough!

Some wellmeaning friends have told me he could refuse me treatment if he ever found out about it. If I don’t tell him and have to visit his office for a checkup, he’ll know anyway. Could a doctor do this? It doesn’t seem ethical to me. Worried Dear Worried: If your operation was ‘ethical’, you need not have any qualms concerning your family physician’s ethics.

Appliance Gift Should Please To make a hit with an appliance gift, think first of the needsof the recipient. Too often, gift buyers make the mistake of selecting what they themselves would like or need. An electric fry pan is a practical gift — unless there is already one irt the ’family. An electric ban opener is usually a fine gift—but it’s not too much appreciated by the family, that uses little canned foods or has no place to put the appliance. A portable stove may be a good gift for an apartment dweller, yet will have little value to the family which boasts a thermostatically controlled range.
