Men Os Vision The Daily Press and Dakotan of Yankton, South Dakota, recently devoted an editorial to a gigantic electric power project that a group of investor-owned utilities will undertake in the West. It will cost more than sin billion and will* be built over a 20 year period. . After describing the vast scope of the project, which will bring almost immeasurable advantages to the region involved, the Press and Dakotan made this thoughtful observation: “Here is a program calling for many times the expenditure of the poverty program, for example, and far more sure of producing beneficial results. But the great developments of private enterprise have come to be taken for granted, although they constitute the main wealth and strength of the nation, whiles the fringe that the government puts on

A Broken Promise

For sometime, reports from Washingtor. forecast that the Administration vould urge repeal of the retail excise taxes when Congress meets again. Now it’s, official. Resident has stated that these taxes, often railed “nuisance taxes”, should be removed. Furthermore, said the announcement. this is a minimum goal. Other excise taxe> may als<> be repealed For the most part, the retail taxes in question were war born. They were impi < d as emergency measures, the general u.’:doi<tanding being that they would end with war’s end. But they remain on the books, all these many year.- after. And they are not confined to luxuries. They apply, usually at a 10 per cent rate, to

THE HOOSIER DAY By FRANK A. WHITE A PRE-SHOWING of'the upcoming Jan. 7 Shite Legislature took place in a three-day conference in the State-House, Participating were 51 members.of the Senate, one to be eliminated later and 100 n.< mbers iff the H him.* of . tiie Assembly. As far . -lature goes, the ' Democrats have the “whole ball of wax”. It includes an overwhelming j majority in HoUsc and Senate, tlie first time for 30 years. It includes a Democratic governor and Attorney 1 General who .passes on constitutional- j ity of all bills. The legislature is a veritable greenhouse of new plants. No one ' knows for sure into what they will grow. More than 50 per cent of the House is new faces. They come innocent of any knowledge of Roberts Rules of Order. House and Senate Rules, of debate, of how to write or introduce a bill. Didtimers like Marshall Kizer of Plymouth, D. Russell Bontrager of Elk* hart. I.t Gov. Richard O. Ristine of Crawfordsville who presided. Senator I Roy Conrad. Monticello, and dozens of others are gone. They were engulfed in the Democratic landslide. Such oldtimers as are present are busy trying to help the freshmen. The new Governor has had no experience in a legislature and he will need a lot of help from the outgoing Governor and a lot of luck. My at* titude as a reporter is, "show me”, but manifestly there are many eager and good intentioned members. GOV. ROGER D. BRANIGIN. to the relief of all concerntd. threw Off the wraps of aloofness. He conferred

two hours with Gov. Welsh and held a full dress press conference. He is re-appointing best men of the Gov. Matthew E. Welsh administration. Marion and Lake teamed up in the House and elected Richard C. Bodine D -Mishawaka! to the powerful post of Speaker of the. House. Lt Gov. I Robert Rock (D. Anderson) will preside in the Senate, Shadows of things to come from the pre-legi.dative conference, shows that the sales tax is not about to be repealed. Gov. Welsh told newsmen he •.nought the public would want to give fit further trial. Gov. Elect Branigin cited a State Chamber Survey of m< mbers of the assembly that showed j 200 of them wanted to retain the Sales I tax. Branigin said if it is repealed, tin re-must be enactment of a replace-; I ment revenue measure. ! I Labor is strong in the session and. . an all out drive to repeal the Right ; I to Work law is afoot. The Assembly | will come to grips early with re- ; r apportionment and re-aligriment of . | congressional districts. The tradition- j al Democratic postition is the same us tiiat of the V S. Supreme Court, | ! “one man one vote,” House and Sen-1 ate apportioned wholly on a population basis. ? Republicans in the minority and , the State Chamber of Commerce are | among those wanting the Federal plan, partly on population and the j other factor, geography. A 8 Chamber spokesman said: “Under j today’s population distribution, in InI dtona, the state's 10 largest counties 1 |on a strict population basis . would : I control the election of a majority of i both houses of the General Assem-' My. ” . We have had a strong State Budget Committee. A propos'd budget of lone billion 731 milium six hundred thousand dollars for the next two years has come in requests’, in a budget study presented by Jack E. Booher. budget director. These are preliminary requests and subject to trim--1 ming by the fiscal committees of ! Hou* and Senate and tor-the LegisI Mature. -

u the top wins the attention. "The time has come to bestow a bit of praise on these quiet men of vision who move the country forward in mighty strides.’’ The electric industry has been a towering leader in that movement forward. In every section of the country, utilities have built well ahead of the demand for power and provide the ultimate in service at minimum rates. Dramatic progress has been made in technology, including the use of nuclear energy and transmission lines of extremely high voltage which make possible the integration of widely separated systems. And this industry is one of the largest and most dependable taxpayers the nation possesses. Yes. as the Press and Dakotan puts • ol praise is called for.

cosmetics, toilet goods, inexpensive as well as expensive jewelry, luggage and pocketbooks, and other items in universal use. Their repeal would not result in a great revenue loss to the government. And the increased purchasing of the goods involved would be a stimulant to business all along the line from factory to retail store, which is one of the Administration’s often-stress-ed goals. = ./ Beyond that, there is a question of justice — and, in this case, it is justice long-delayed. In effect, the government broke a promise to the public when it failed to bring about repeal after the emergencies ended.

Branigin is proceeding very cautiously. He is investigating in detail those be names to top posts. A few-of his reappointments are Dr. S. T. Ginsberg, commissioner of Mental Health, John T Hatchett,commission.' er of administration, and he named William Fortune, former treasurer, as commissioner of state revenue. Branigin is very sensitive to the petition of state supported unixersities for increased funds. He is all put for appropriating $25 million ; dollars to get work on ’ the Bums j Ditch deep water port underway. He I feels Indiana is facing a new era, of great development. i _ • Ferverda Attends Commissioners Meeting Kosciusko county commissioner Ray Ferverda, representative of the northern district, attended the meeting last Tuesday of the commissioners. This is the first meeting he has attended since he became ill on election day. The commissioners approved the bid of Stanley Custer »i Milford for cleaning the John Shireman ditch in Clay township. The bid was $3,583.88, For the first time in the history of the oounty highway department it was decided to pay the workers before January 1 so they may have the 1 money for Christmas shopping. Kermit Summers, clerk in the highway office, was instructed to make the | necessary arrangements. On January 4, the commissioners will considi er bids for gas and oil and equipment for the highway. Also bids will be ■ considered for a new car for the i sheriffs department The .sheriffs i car is replaced each two years. 221 N EMPI.OYMENT * ! INSURANCE CLAIMS A total of 2X266 unemployment insurance claims were filed last week, .'about 8,750 fewer than during the same week last year. Lewis F. Nicolini. director of the Indiana Employment Security Division, said that the total tost week was about 850 under the previous week's j figure and that much of the decrease was probably because of the Thanksgiving holiday. The five largest layoffs reported were all short-time: 130 employees fqr two weeks at a plant in the Anderson area; 750 employees for one week at one in Connersville; 300 at a northern Indiana foundry for a week or so; 179 for a week or so; 179 for a week at a Lafayette company; and 160 “temporarily'' at a plant in the Richmond area.

SHE FEELS 'ILL AT EASE'

Dear Amy: I am 20 and my boyfriend is 23. We have been going together for almost a year and plan to be married eventually, but we have a problem. I come from a broken home, and his family is very close. I am also a very nervous person. When I visit his home, I feel ill at ease. I try to be helpful and friendly and yet I can’t let myself be ‘myself’ completely. My girl friends say they feel this way, too, so I don't feel that it’s all ine. My boxfread, however, constantly yells at me to be myself and says that 1 should push myself on his family. I told him that I can t be that way and that he'll have to understand and be patient. Do you think that he is right? I want them to accept me but I've just never been able to push myself on anyone. ~~ A Reader Dear Reader: Many girls feel this way when meeting their future in-laws for the first time. But they shouldn't. For a girl who never had a close family of her own, you are indeed fortunate to be marrying into one. .It is not necessary or even acceptable to push yourself on them. They are ready and willing to accept you as you are if you will only relax, be friendly, kind, natural and accept them. And it's not hard. Try it and see. Remember, you both have something in common. You both love the same guy! • • • Dear Amy: In answer to “Mr. A.Z.8.,” who asked w hether there are any good women who aren't out to cheat a man. I can introduce him to half a huridred easily, but they ‘ hang out'* at church. They love to be 'asked to the monthly church dinners and affairs ($1.50 for all you can eat with clean entertainment). They bowd, they roller skate, they pack wonderful picnic lunches, they care for their own apartments, travel, and arc well-read teachers, secretaries and professional women who have never married because they don’t go to taverns where, it seems, almost all the bachelors are these days. I was married twenty-one years ago (and divorced twenty years ago) to one of those who should

TRAINING SCHOOL FOR FARM HANDS ; To help fill the need uncovered by the Indiana State Employment Seri vice for qualified year-round farm | hands, a 16-week training course will be started soon.

have remained a confirmed bachelor. Since then, I walk a wide circle around confirmed bachelors or any other kind. “Mr. A. Z. 8.,” take my advice, go to church on Sunday morning, any church of your choice, mine is no exception. Work at it, become an officer in your church so you can find all the eligible “ladies” and believe me, you will have all the decent women you want to meet ... all anxious to meet you. .

Here is the reason: Jim is in the army and he never writes to me. The only way I hear about him is from friends. When he was here on leave, he came to see me everyday, but others say he was out with other girls. They tell me he is. going with another girl now as well as with me. What should I do? He will be home in two months. Should I break up with him? I am in high school and can get other guys but I love this one. M.C.B. Dear M.C.8.: A one sided romance can never take roct... and that’s what this is, you know. If Jim cared to nurture this friendship, his letters would foe forthcoming.

Kosciusko County

D. O. HARROLD of Franklin township has been named chairman of the | County 4-H Club Council for the com- < ing year. Bernard Roberts of Syra- j case is vice chairman and Mrs. Den- ■ ny Conley of Claypool is secretary. I The 4-H Council is the policy making body for the 4-H program. They ' are elected from the membership of township committees. They rule on questions of eligibility, rules for exhibits, prepare the budget, conduct the 4-H sale of market livestock and perform other duties of a board of , directors. THE COUNTY CROP drive is com- j ing along in good shape and is about one-third completed. The townships that have turned in sizeable amounts to the treasurer. Ross Sittier, are Scott* Jefferson, Van Buren, Turkey Creek, and Etna. About $3,500 has been reported at this time. ♦♦• ♦ ■ A SMALL ENROLLMENT in the Better Farming-Better Living program will be taken this winter and a series of classes will start in January. John Cowey, who is extension farm management agent in six northeastern counties, will be in charge of this program. The initial number, three in number, will probably be held in Pierceton. The BF-BL program has been con- v ducted for several years by Frank Miller who is now in charge of the work in a group of counties just to the south of us. This is a program in farm management education that has been significantly successful. It is essentially a program of budgeting labor, capital investment, time, income and other factors over which there is management control and then deciding upon the various alternative arrangements that are possible. The families that have participated in this work have shown an average net income increase of nearly $2,000 annually over their previous incomes. Wc can only add about a half dozen this year and would like to know who may be invested. The 1965 Farmers’ Income tax guides are available and. will soon be at all the banks of the county and also at the county extension office. are prepared jointly by the agricultural economics department at Purdue and the Internal Revenue Service.
