THE HOOSIER DAY By FRANK A. WHITE A MAJOR WjKICY decision faces Richard 0. Ristine, Republican candidate for Governor. D. Russell Bontrager who is GOP nominee for U. S. Senator and the party state command. It is such a hush-hush affair that nothing has or perhaps will be printed. p* It involves whether Ristine and Bontrager will tie their campaign for the remaining nine weeks to Barry Goldwater in Indiana. It -in vol ves \wbether the two top State Republican nominees will ignore Goldwater and go their way without official announcements as “independents'*. The Republicans of Indiana are Confronted, although with as yet no publicity with the problem tluU beset Senator Kenneth Keating in New York city, who decided not to run on the Goldwater ticket, although he is a Republican. I have found as a columnist, prominent Republicans who have been quietly contacted for their opinion as to how tightly Ristine and Bontrager should tie to Goldwater or whether they should ignore him and “paddle their own canoes" in the torrid campaign now on. The results of this contact are supposed to give to Ristine. and Bontrager something- concrete to base their proceedures in regard to Goldwater. REPUBLICANS MADE a brave display of unity at the Hershey, Pa., Summit meeting, where top figures of the party issued pronouncements of support for Goldwater. At this meeting attended by Eisenhower, Scranton, and others, Goldwater made, what several,; prominent Republicans told me. was the speech he should have made at the Republican National convention in San Francisco. Instead of being cold and cutting. Goldwater at Hershey was conciliatory and aimed at party unity - Ristine called a press conference on his

The GOP in attempting by what this far is a secret I probe of opinion of party members., regarding Goldwater, is running scared.

Sidewalk Daze. Why doesn’t anyone in Milford ever do anything like that. Syracuse merchants reported doing a real fine business, in spite of the fact that the thing was a hurry-up job. We hear members of the Syracuse Saddle club are considering changing the name to Syracuse-Milford Saddle club, since most members are from Milford. President of the group is James Chambers of near Milford. Fall is upon us. Have you noticed the leaves on some of the trees around town’’ I especially noticed , the One across from the M-J office , by Chet Felkncr’s home. From Sharon’s notes we learn F. P. Groves erected a brick business house in IS&S and operated a drug , store. C. C. Reynolds was also a druggist and partner with Martin and Neil Felkner, who in 1876 erected a hub pnd spoke factory which employed men I— t this was the first and only factory of that day and was destroyed by fire in 1880.’ While going through some old papers the other day I found the fol- 1 lowing commencement exercises of 1 Milford high school for die class of ' 1949 The excerises were held in : the community building on May 17 1 at 7pm Don’t tell the class of 1965 ’ or its members will have a fit.

'Back To School' Costs Are Higher; Enrollment Is Up j Time was when “back to school” meant getting only little Johnny out from under and back into teacher’s hands. But this year almost half the nation will be” involved in some kind of schooling. While more than 37 million children will go back to the public schools, some 4.5 million youngsters will be attending colleges and universities. In addition, according to World Book Encyclopedia, there are about 50 millkMi .Americans who take part in some kind of adult education. Os course, it may be just a course in good grooming or flower arranging, but it’s still a long way from the days When only a handful of privileged young men could sit around gabbing with a Socrates or | a Zeno. I As tlie numbers of those involved lin education have risen, so have the costs. Back in 1880, it cost an average of $7.91 a year to educate a child. By the turn of the century, it was $13.87. In 1940 the cost was about $91.64. and today, the United States spends an average of more than S4OO a year for each child. Where does the money come from? More tlian half the cost - 56 per cent - is borne by the local school district. The state contributes about 40 per cent, and tlie federal government about 4 per cent. .

Dad, Birthdays And Home By JOHN AND GERTRUDE BAKER We cannot today think of Dad, I birthdays or Iwme, without one bringing thoughts of the other to mind. Home to an ear refined, is 1 sweetest of spoken words. Home is the goal to which wanderers return in thought and hope, and when they do return. Dad would be there to greet then), leaning on the gate and wearing his old sweatier over a sport shirt. It would be his birthday perliaps, but Dad didn't want presents: All he wanted was a nice day and the family to get together and be happy. His old jacket constantly needed repairing and he'd ask mother to! again sew it. His eyes were always on the ' stars. lie dreamed anon of wiiat , could be improv&i upon. His liobby was making tools of all sorts for every type of job. When some one else had a birthday he liked to give them unusual vases for flpwers. He loved flowers of every kind and hue. He often remarked about' the beauty of the day and how wonder- , ful was the world, and how thankful everyone should be to God for their blessing. He enjoyed so much having his family around him. After the end of the day, often he would say, “Wasn't this day just wonderful?’-’ The next morning he would be up bright and early, take a brisk walk with his little dog, around the yard and through the old orchard. Then perhaps the weather permitting, a half hour or so of fishing, coming home happy with a few blue gills or bass. He never actually retired. He was always busy, many times helping less fortunate neighbors. .On Sunday, church was not forgotten. He was happiest when helping others. Those days were so long ago, and yet on a lovely Sunday evening. we seem to see his outstretched arm, beckoning from the world beyond. May his love- of God and his goodness to others, waft him gently through the Pearly Gates is bur prayer. HEX RURAL H. D.
