The effort to come up with a new name for Lakeland community school corporation has hit a snag, what with no suggestions being offered to the school board that could be considered acceptable. Most people asked in our •‘survey" around the coffee bars seem to think the name Lakeland a natural ... a real identity with the area ... the fact that a little mail might get mixed up a small matter. Several in Milford would like to call the school the Noble W. Neff school, and some around Syracuse would want it called the Eli Lilly high school. Neither would suit both communities unless aJilUe selling job is done on the board. This column learned this week the -School board now has three parcels of land under option <at $25 per month l where they might locate the new Lakeland high school. They want to have at least six under option before holding a public meeting to announce possible sites for the school., Only one person refused to give an option to the board. ’ Hopes for another pre-holiday dunce are looking brighter, and it may be at Hoosier Skateland building. before new owners begin remodeling building for retail furniture store.

The Syracuse town board is making good on its promise .to have the millrace filled within two years. It has been making real progress. and the burning issue of the millrace seems to have faded into oblivion. Three townsmen — Jim Stucky, Ralph Thornburg, and Junior Jones — made a little side trip into old New Orleans (French Quarters) j during their recent vacation to the Biloxi-Gulfport. Miss., area, and were pleased with what they saw. Os course, they had the little ladies • along, and look them to historic eating houses. The Syracuse-Wawasee Chamber of Commerce- is in bad need of reorganization before Flotilla time rolls ■ around again. The nominating- com- j mittee failed to act, and thus a new slate of officers was not elected this year. Those participating in the bridge-o-rama are reported to be having a big time, and getting acquainted with new friends al the same time. The M-J has its eyes on a possible new news reporter in the years ahtad.

A STAMP FOR GAS

The American Gas Association has asked the Post Office Department to issue a commemorative stamp in celebration of the industry’s 150th anniversary which will occur in 1966. There is ample precedent for this — for example, such stamps have been issued in honor of the electric light, the telegraph, and the oil industry. A stamp would help to draw attention to gas’ contribution to this nation's economy and to the living standards of the people. In late years, the industry’s expansion has been truly spectacular. Top men in it see new and limitless horizons of opportunity. It is highly versatile fuel and energy source, both in the home and in business. And technological advances constantly make it more so. . Beyond that, the ..industry is a i splendid example of what (owned, taxpaying private enterprise | means to the country. This is partii cularly important in the light of proposals in certain areas for municipal gas distribution systems. Com--1 munities may be induced to go deep into debt to build these—only to find that claims of rate reductions were exaggerated and that a heavy tax loss must-be made by all the taxpayers. The gas industry’ deserves its commemorative stamp. HUNTINGTON COLLEGE HOMECOMING Huntington College Campus was buzzed with excitement last week as the.students prepared for Homecoming activities designed to please the alumni, parents, and friends who visited the campus Friday and Saturday, Nov. 20 and 21. The students planned an outstanding aprade according to parade chairman, Paul Cunningham, who says. ‘‘TTie parades are getting bigger and better every year under the direction of the Circle ‘K’ Hub.” The theme of the 3rd .Annual Homecoming parade, was "Exploring New Frontiers.” The parade was reigned over by the 1964 Homecoming Queen, and included ten to twelve floats. The 1964 Homecoming Queen was announced at a Pc? Rally Friday at 4:00 p.m. and was selected from the following candidates who were chosen by balloting of all sophomore. junior and senior girls: Miss Vickie BrOwn, a sophomore majoring in health and physical education from Huntington, Miss Carol Hough, a junior majoring in English from Sunfield, Midi.; Miss Carol Lobdell, a sophomore majoring in psychology from Corunna, Mich., and Miss Helen Nell, a sophomesp majoring in* English from Medina, Ohio. . I Other Homecoming activities inclused a play, entitled "Our Town” and was presented by the Huntington College Campus Players. The climax of the Homecoming Weekend was Saturday night when the Huntington Foresters’; Basketball team met the Oakland City Oaks in their opening game gym starting at 8:15 ■pm. FUTURE BUILDERS SEE SLIDES ON WORLD’S FAIR The Future Builders class of the Milford Christian church met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. D. G. Seely ! following evening services at the church on Sunday. L Following the short business meeting presided over by president John Strouse, the Seelys showed slides of their trip to the New York World's Fair. . • . • At the close of the evening refreshments were erred to 17 persons who were present.

THE . HOOSIER DAY By FRANK A. WHITE ONE YEAR AFTER an assassin’s bullet cut down the youthful President John F. Kennedy there is much speculation as to the niche that he will occupy in history. JFK's friends remember him as youthful, vigorous, vibrant, dedicated President not hesitant in asking God to aid him in his efforts to maintain a peaceful world. Much ..as been made of the fact that he was the first of the Roman Catholic faith to be elected President, although his majority was scarcely more than 100,000 votes. The fact he was a Catholic is not as important as the after effects had he lost the election, as far as religion is concerned. In this constant evaluation of Kenneth- and history, Charles J. Stewart, assistant professor of speech, Purdue university, had some interesting remarks on a books and coffee program currently. Stewart’s remarks were predicted on a study of 372 sermons delivered in northern states following the asassassination of President Lincoln, as compared to 420 sermons in practically the same areas after the death of Kennedy. Stewart said the ministers of the North in 1865 logized Lincoln to extent of transforming him "from a man to a myth and that these discourses played a part in the future fame of ‘the martyr President.” Effect of these minister Lincoln speeches on public opinion was considerable and because of their influential positions, they may have served to increade the economic subjugation of the South. SPEECHES FROM the pulpit, after the Kennedy assassination, in contrast were "moderate to the extreme,” Stewart feeds. The clergymen seemed (to even hesitate to pay deep tribute to Kennedy, sought no revenge and vowed to fight extremists with truth. Stewart feels the Kennedy eulogies probably did not have much effect on public opinion. It was almost as if the ministers did not want to “bother” anyone. MINISTERS DIFFER as to whether to discuss such mundane matters as traffic safety from the pulpit. Churches over Indiana have been asked to join in the highway safety program during the month of December. Packets of material for sermons and comment have been sent to 5.000 Indiana ministers, by the State Traffic Safety Foundation Albert E. Huber, executive secretary. The topic is "Drive So That Others May Live”. Huber said if the present highway fatalities continue the total will exceed 1,400 on Hoosier highways in 1964. MY ASSIGNMENT as a reporter on a metropolitan paper onetime was to attend a Sunday morning church service. I made the rounds of Catholic, Protestant. Jewish Orthodox. major denominations and even the Spiritualist church. After that experience I found it difficult to put too much emphasis., on any ■ denomination. I longed for union of | the many denominations, all of the ' same objective. The late Pope John XXIII Vati- , can Council II was attended by a j number of Protestant observers. There have been some notable unions of denominations and cooperation in the mission fields. However,. Henry A. Buchanan and Bob W. Brown, products of the Southern Baptist Theological seminary, wrote in the Saturday Evening Post that the ecumenical . •Christian Unity movement.) may i be a threat, rather than a blessing. , These tvyo writers feel that in striving after a super-church, they say would result from Christian unity. Protestants may destroy the heritage of diversity which has enriched their spiritual life. Instead ( of one church with one mortal
