National Newspaper Week Oct. 11-1

National Newspaper Week is t'.> be ol> served during the October 11-17 period. And when, over those days, editors risk the appearance of immodesty by blowing their own horns, they have a right and an obligation to do just that. The local newspaper provides a service that is unique, irreplaceable, and a fundamental part of our national life. Its pages tell an endless story of the events, great and small, that influence the destinies <>f each. <if us. There is good news and bad — but. whatever its character, it i.i part of the scheme of things. Only the newspaper can adequately record it — and keen it as history in the ever-growing files of past issues.

ManV lawns have had 1 ard times this war. The spotty rains, some days of excessive heat and a high incidence of disease troubles have made some look pretty sick. There are some things that can be done to help them recover. ' Bluegrasses arc a cool weather plant and they can do a lot yet this fall if conditions are right. Nitrogen is the key fertilizer element since the natural release of nitrogen is at its slowest in the fall when the soil is cool. One pound of actual nitrogen per 1.000 square feet is. enough. Thiwould mean 10 pounds of a material containing 10 percent nitrogen. When the lawn needs over-seeding, the seed-should be spread first then mow. and rake, and sweep so the seed will be worked down to the soil rather than lying on top of some dead grass. About a half pound of grass seed per 1,000 square feet is a normal rate for fall over-seeding. In lawns Where the grass has become sod bound to the extent that it is smothering out new growth, we recommend the vertical type mowers that can be rented. The use of this machine followed by a good raking will remove a lot of old ..grass and favor the growth of new plants yet this fall. It has been found that one bluegrass sant will have spread to about a square inch by next spring if the plant food and soil conditions are ideal 1

We think that it is as important as ever to be extremely alert of any possibilities of savings in poultry teed This could be in price or in wastage. A savings of two dollars per ton would be equivalent oTreceiving a half cent premium per dozen eggs. Elevator men say they could cut prices if there could be a better scheduling of feed deliveries. Such, things as ordering in advance, ordering full loads and in a regular schedule of delivery can help.

ond this, there is no freedom more vital than that of freedom of the press. A good newspaper is. in a sense, a watch<i.>g of the public. It stands for integrity and fair dealing in public violations of trust that would otherwise have remained forever buried. And newspapers have successfully fought for every conceivable kind of reform, often against disheartening odds, that the public interest demands. No other nation has a press quite like ours, ranging as it does front great metropolitan dailies down to the smallest of the country weeklies. Every one of our thousands of papers, each working in its own special way, is a vital part of the great edifice of freedom on which this country rests.

THE HONEYMOON ISN'T OVER

Dear Amy: My husband and I have been married almost four months now and everything was going well until about three weeks ago. Up until that time, we had many enlightening conversations at the breakfast table. We are always on the go and the only time we have to ourselves is in the morning before he goes to work. But now we don’t even have that He, gets up. gets dressed, eats breakfast and reads the newspaper not saying one word to me until he leaves. Then he says, “Have dinner ready, dear, we have to go someplace tonight” Amy, if I do say something to him, it just goes in one ear and out the other. I have always hated to see a man sit at the breakfast table and read when someone was there. Please tell me what to do. Stumped Dear Slumped: Don’t assume the honeymoon Is over because hubby reads the paper instead of reading you at the breakfast table. If you always keep him bn the go, the poor guy obviously has no other time to catch up on current events. Nourishing a man’s body and soul is fine, but if he desires to nourish his mind, let him! If the printed word is the only competition you ever ha\e, you’ve no complaints. • • * Dear Amy: We are .having a carnival fn our neighborhood and we had Signs printed to advertise it. Our neighbor across the street told, us we could put a sign up on her free, but her son takes it off all the time. We keep putting up new signs, and he keeps taking them down. Should we give up or keep trying? Kathy Dear Kathy: Your neighbor’s Intentions were good, but it seems like her son has the “last say.” Before you waste any more signs, get the hi-sign from him. Dear Amy: What do you think of a neighbor who is bothered with hay fever and yet his yard is full of weeds? Not only are the weeds a

POLLUTION PROBLEM There is now nearly six times as much pollution in our rivers,'streams, and lakes’ as 60 years ago and the amount is still increasing. This is a result of a growing population and industry and of inadequate waste treatment by industries and cities alike. history. “For thirty long years Charlie did his best to keep things back home from changing.

nuisance to his neighbors, but he is also! Mrs. E. Dear Mrs. E. L.S Your neighbor who is bothered with hay fever is not apt to remove the weeds. So I think it would be a nice gesture on your part (with his permission) to round up a few other neighbors and cut the weeds for him. And whether he is a nuisance in other ways is probably debatable. What do your neighbors think of you? • • • Dear Amy: I will be a senior this fall and a majority of my friends will be going away to college. I have no problem asking the girls to write, but what about the guys? Should I bring up the subject or should I let them? Should I say that I’ll miss them when they go away and hope to hear from them? Perplexed Dear Perplexed: It is perfectly permissable for you to ask your male friends to write you while they are away at college (time permitting). They can keep you informed ' about college work and life. And ’ you can keep them informed ‘ about .the good old home town. Dear Amy: My friend’s daughter is getting married soon.

’The Whites Who Work'

Can you imagine Americans speaking Twi, Farsi, Ibo, Cebuano, Temne, or Qlechua? Yet today there are some who do in Ghana, Iran, Nigeria, the Philippines, Sierra Leone, and Bolivia, where- these languages are spoken. Perhaps you can guess- who these American linguists are—members of the Peace Corps. An even 100 of them i from Indiana were working abroad I. on June 30. 91 more were in training, > and 31 had already finished their two-year terms in the most successful and imaginative foreign aid program ever undertaken. Perhaps the most fascinating account of what the Peace Corps is doing appears in the September issue of the- National Geographic, where 48 pages of color pictures and text tell the story. Sargent Shriver, dir-1 i ector of the Peace Corps and now of i our Economic Opportunity (“antipoverty") program as well, gives an I l over-all look at these- American am-: , bassadors of good will, originally ’ proposed by John F. Kennedy in Oct- > ober, 1960, while he was still a can-' j didate for President. Six of the vol-j j unteer add their own vivid stories of j i experiences in South America, Africa , ! and Asia. , Today 14,000 corps members, aver- { aging 24 to 2.5 years of age but includ- ‘ ing nearly 80 who are over 60 years old, are serving around the world,' living as the residents of the country do, eating native foods and speaking j i native tongues. At its four training , i centers, where the , twelve-week ; course includes an average of nearly I : 300 hours in 40 kinds of language I training, the volunteers undergo a ! rugged regimen. Sparked by admira- i lion of our program, 17 other nations I’nqw have Peace Corps-type operations in effect or planned. Twenty- ! four countries are on our “waiting 1 st”, wanting to join the program, j Nothing we have done has been so acclaimed everywhere as to send out I these dedicated people to face the ' challenge of need in underdeveloped I countries. •In Africa’s Gabon, Peace S Corps volunteers are known as “the whites who work.” I Contributions by tile Peace Corps , range from organizing . a growing chicken industry in the Punjab to alleviating leprosy in Bolivia and teaching school in Turkey. Now we are moving forward with the paralled private International Executive Sen ice Corps, whose initiation is one of my proudest achievements, to bring help by businessmen at another level. America may well be proud of its generous leadership in these ways, so important in building world peace > and international friendship.

Moore, president of the association. Eighty-five Kosciusko county residents have befriended forgotten patients in our state hospitals and schools for the retarded by writing to them regularly and sending small gifts on special occasions. Some eyen have obtained special permission to visit their assigned patient in the hospital. A statistical repbrt issued by the Indiana Association for Mental Health showed Kosciiisko county at 61 per cent of quota, with 85 adopters for 46-forgotten patients. The county’s quota of adopters is set at 138. or three adopters for each patient. Thus, over 50 adopters are still needed for Kosciusko county~ Mrs. Richard Sasso.
