Alfonz And Gaston Campaign
The lackluster gubernatorial campaign in Indiana reminds "nr of the old story about Alfonz and Gaston. Both men. as the story goes, were overly polite to one another to the disgust of all around. And this is much the way Richard Rist me. Republican candidate for governor, counterpart, art* treating one another. Both men have keen respect for one another. and show .it on the platform. This was much in evidence Friday night when both candidates spoke at the Indiana Newspaper Advertising Conference at the Marrot Hotel in Indianapolis. Ristine, the first to speak, said he liked the idea of being first, for. like the lead dog on 1 team, he got a change of r <L However Branigin, the able after dinner
How Practical Court House Dome?

Don Frantz, county agent, will assist in conducting the meeting. The purpose of such a conference prior to tiie final draft of legislation is to hear objections to it, to hear favorable reaction to it and to get opinions in general and anyone interested in attending is welcome. Some of the earliest laws established were drainage laws. Many, communities could not be settled until drainage was established and in many cases drainage determined the makeup of the population. We have had a system of amending and revising these laws which now cover about 150 years in time and in some cases are confusing and conflicting. The purpose of the proposed new

Branigin has agreed the the sales tax. which Ristine voted for by breaking the General Assembly’s tie vote, might have been OK after all.

Beyond that, these clubs build character — and that, in an era in which juvenile delinquency has become a grave problem. is one of the most vital of needs.

The weather may be good I enough, to cause the plants to try toj make ra w growth which will not > harden sufficiently before winter and' will be killed. I Evergreen shrubs should be watered especially well during these hot 1 fall days. Plants such as yews, junipers, boxwood, and others that re-1 tain their leaves all winter have to ■ absorb enough water to carry them .during times when the ground is frozen. They have an csepcially high need for water now and there is none in the soil. PASTURES that are short can be [ htiped by a sod seeding of Reed or Dual wheat. This can be cut right in with a drill and covered with drag chains. As soon as it rains there will be wheat pasture will winter and then again in early ; isn't all grazed down in Jbe spring it can be clipped with the early weeds. Boxelder bugs will soon be on the move hunting for a warm place to spend the winter. This is usually in some one’s house. These insects develop primarily on boxelder trees and toward fall tend to work down to the lower branches. Dieldrin or chlordane spray on these lower brandies where the concentration of insects is heaviest will reduce a tot of the trouble later on. A barrier around the south and west sides of the houses that they bother can also help. The bmVier could be a strip about 10 feet wide sprayed on the ground so they would have to crawl through it Dieldrin concentrate at the rate of 1 pint per 4 gallons of water makes a good barrier strip.

A TRUE CONFESSION
Dear Amy: Would you please publish this letter? It is written in regard ter my parents, me, and a lot of kids. I have the most wonderful parents in the world and I love them. When I was little, I used to think they didn't love me when they got mad at me. Now I know they did love me and were trying to help me do the right thing instead of the 'wrong. _ Already they have helped me through a lot of rough spots, even though I am only 13 years old. Most kids, at one time or another, talk about how “they never let me do anything!”' We should all stop and think before we repeat that well-worn phrase. They do let us do things! Not everything of course, but not be- - cause they are mean. It s because they are trying to show us what is right and' what is wrong. We have a home and a family. We love them and they love us. But too often we won’t admit it. We refuse to admit, even though we know it is true, that, without our parents, we wouldn’t even be here in the first place. We wouldn't be nearly as happy or have nearly what we do. Well. I have admitted it in this letter , and I think a lot of boys arid girls should admit it. too. I wish all kids had a family as wonderful as mine . . . a family that can talk’ over problems, share ideas, opinions and love instead of acting like distant friends like a lot of families I know. Part of a Family Kathy Dale (Warrepton, Oregon) Dear Kathy: I was flabbergasted and delighted to receive your unusual letter and even happier to print it.

The Social Security Bill: "In Conference"
As this is written the Social Security Amendments bill is “in conference”. So many questions are raised about this very important part of the legislative process that a little discussion of it may help you to see what is happening to this bill, and to know more about the way Congress operates. The House of Representatives, through the Ways and Means Committee. spent a lot of time and effort working out a number of changes in the basic Social Security law. This bill, H. R. 11865, was passed on July 29 and referred to the Finance Committee of the Senate, of which I am a member. (The H. R. stands for House Resolution; if the Senate offers the bill, it becomes an “S” numbered bill, and is referred to a House committee after passage in the Senate 5 . The Finance Committee recommended H. R. 11865 with some changes, such as taking out the proposed

Everyone should have a mother-in-law like you. Tell this visitor her visits must be kept short, sweet, and silent. If she doesn't comply, and your daughter-in-law is tao ill to show her the door, do so yourself. Dear Amy: An argument has developed between my future in-laws and myself. I am having a big wedding and my family is paying for every-, thing except the flowers and the drinks (whiskey, beer and pop) because we have always held that the groom or his family should pay for that. I find that many people agree with the thoughts of my family on this matter, but my fiance's mother is giving him a hard time by saying he is a sucker if he does, pay for this part of the wedding. He. in turn, not wanting, to argue any further with me (after all he is going to spend the rest of his life with me) is willing to supply the flowers and drinks. Amy. at this point l am only interested in doing what is right. Please help! Mixed Up Dear Mixed Up: What you have always held is wrong? The bride’s family assumes the entire cost of the wedding reception or dinner, whichever it may be, including the beverages. The only flowers the groom is responsible for are those for his bride, his mother, boutonnieres for himself, his father, the best man and the ushers—the bride's family supplying all other flowers where needed.

■- new coverage of doctors. Proposals - to add hospital insurance were cond sidered in the committee but rejecte ed. The amendment to add hospital ’* care for the elderlv was offered in j the Seante by Senator Gore, who is i- a member of the Finance Committee. but any member can offer amendments directly as well as in committees in which he belongs. r" For the first time in history’, a I “hospitalization plan” under a social i security measure was’ adopted by e the Senate; the House has never.aI dopted such a proposal. Yet in one s form or another the use of Social “ Security for hospital and medical care of the-aged has been proposed 3 for 25 years, dating back to the bill 1 by Senator Wagner in 1939. The Gore amendment would add $7 a month to - all present benefits and pay for hos- - pital services up to 90 days with a 1 sie deductible for each of the first
nine days, or for 45 days without, deductible. But to become law, both bodies must agree. So a “conference committee” of members from both houses meets to recommend a compromise they think both House and Senate will be willing to adopt. A “con-. ference report” will tell why they make their recommendations, and ’ then both House and Senate will vote again on the altered proposal. If they agree it is “cleared for the President” to sign into law or sometimes veto). By the time you read this perhaps you will know what the Conference Committee did to the “hospitalization” proposal, and what is in the final law as adopted. i UNEMPLOYMENT CLAIMS LOW Indiana’s unemployment insurance claims total dropped below the 19. 000 mark last week and was down 3.8 per cent from the previous week and ■more than 21 per cent under the total for the first week in September last year. The 18,908 claims filed in Indiana Employment Security Division offices last week w’ere the fewest since the week ending Sept. 19, 1953. Nearly half of the divisions’ 30 offices reported decreased in initial tdaims and the number of continued claims was lower in 20 offices.

BEASLEY PRAISES ’63 ASSEMBLY BUCKSKIN — “If the 1963 Indiana General Assembly hadn’t acted courageously to provide tax funds for state distribution to local schools, some of them couldn’t have opened this Setpember, or would have been forced to open on a curtailed basis”, James R. Beasley of Odon, said. Beasley, who is superintendent of Barr-Reeve Community schools in Daviess county, is Republican nominee for state superintendent of public instruction. He is 49. “It is understandable that people don’t like to pay taxes”, the Daviess county schoolman said at a Republican rally in Buckskin Friday, “but when it comes to educating our children and thus providing as best we can for their future lives, I have found that most parents are willing to do their share so long as they know the money is going to be used wisely and economically. “Economy should be a keynote of local school operation. To this end, it is best that we have local control. With state tax assistance and home community control, we can achieve efficient and responsible school operation in Indiana. As state superintendent of public instruction, I would stick to that policy”.
