You Can't Put Christ Back Into Christinas
Yes, that is what we said — you can’t put Christ back into Christmas. Every ’year millions of people all over the world try unsuccessfully to put Christ back into Christmas. Why can’t it be done? Because, Christ never left Christmas, people did. Santa Claus, hanging stockings, Christmas trees, exchanging gifts and all the ■ -• 'Jerful things that have become part of the holiday fun have belonged to Christmas for centuries. All are good so long as we don’t forget the reason we have Christmas is to celebrate the birthday of the Christ Child who was bom long ago in a stable in the little town of Bethlehem.
McNamara And The Reserve
Any taxpayers who is truly interested in economy in government cannot help but admire the bold action-of secretary of defense Robert McNamara in closing down unneeded army bases and cracking the whip over the fat army reserve corps. This is action badly needed, but all America has grown accustomed to pork barrel Operations where each congres.-man want to protect his home district as far as government jobs is concerned. The army reserve is a case in Founded on gotxl intentions, the reserve crops is loaded with officers and men, most all up in the years since World War II days, who would never be called in case of

Do you occasionally complain about the price of gasoline? If you do, it’s only human nature at work — but a revealing little statement by the head of the Ohio Petroleum Marketers Association.' Inc. may give you a new and different perspective: “It has been said that we in the oil business are engaged in the handling and moving of a very bulky commodity of low value. We search for it in the bowels of the earth. We lift it out of the ground, put it in tanks, pump it out of the tanks and through a pipeline to a refinep - where we lift it again, process it, put it in more tanks, clean it up, mix it up? put it on a terminal, unload it, load it up again, haul it to a bulk plant, unload it, reload it, take it to a service 'station, put it in another tank, pump it out once more into ttie customer’s automobile tank,,wipe his windshield. give him free air and water and

On that night of nights herald angles sang of the newborn king to shepherds as they watched their flocks. And, a star shone brightly over the place where the new bom baby lay. This we truly should remember as once again Christmas time has come. Remember Santa Claus was the good St. Nicholas; the lights on the tree were first put there by Martin Luther over 400 years ago and symbolized the stars; and giving of gifts goes back even farther to when the wise men gave gold and myrrh and frankincense to the Christ Child. And so if we put our selves back into the true spirit of Christmas we’ll have a truly happy Christmas.
a national emergency. The reserve has provided cushioned two-week paid summer vacations for these men. But as far as national defense is concerned, the whole program is a disgrace. The fact that many congressmen and senators have used their resene status as a front for overseas junkets has kept the program on the books. Secretary McNamara deserves the high praise of every taxpayer who is tired of military freeloading and wants “a dollars worth of defense for ever dollar spent.”
charge him excluding tax cents a pound. What other products that require all this human labor and energy in its handling, can be purchased for anywhere near that price?” That’s a good question, which pretty well answers iteelf. The oil industry, all that long way from a hole in the ground to the local service station, has done wonders in improving efficiency and holding down costs. Its achievement has been obscured by the fact that gas taxes, over which i • >ne in the industr'. has any control, add an average of 50' per cent to the price of the fuel. In the face of that tax, it is still more of an achievement to be able to hold the price of gas down to a point where such a tax doesn’t make general use of gasoline prohibitive. But, increased federal and state gas taxes are now being proposed.
present and the speakers included soils scientists from Purdue and Ohio State universities. Among the significant points made were that Urea, now used widely as a source of nitrogen, has a widely varying rate of loss due to volatilizing and leaching. In loam soils when temperatures are around 40 degrees the loss is seldom over five per cent. At 80 degrees the loss may go to 25 per cent. It was also reported that surface spreading and then disking the Urea in can cut the losses completely. The disking need not be more t than one inch in depth i In one experiment the Urea was * made on top of a com stalk. Mulch f of about one-fourth meh thickness, f It was physically blocked from getI ting into contact with the soil and r the volatile ammonia losses were i high. The toss increased by SO per cent. This would indicate that when I Urea is being used to speed up de- : composition on top of the soil the ■ liquid solutions are safer from toss- ' es than pellets. I 1 BDcrondtrients or minor dements are coming into closer attention. About the only two of significance at > this time as fertilizer elements are i manganeses and boron.

The demand for testing for these is not really big enough to maintain a lab in each state so the Indiana samples are sent to Ohio. This will continue until the demand calls for more than they can handle or until other minor dements become critical and require testing procedures. Limestone is still a seriously overlooked bargain on many farms. There is very little business sense in farming sour land with tractors costing five or six thousand dollars, yet it is being done. It costs about a dime an acre to get soil testing done, many places it is free and it costs five to ten dollars an acre for a good covering of limestone. The government will pay a good share of that A summary of nearly 40,000 sam-

A XMAS GIFT IS THE QUERY
Dear Amy: Always enjoy reading your column and now I would appreciate receiving your advice as to what would be the correct thing to do under the following circumstances: I work in a large office which is divided into departments. In our department there is a department manager and three of us girls. It has been the custom at Christmas time to contribute toward a gift for our department manager. This year, however, a young man (younger than I) was employed by the Home Office to be an assistant to our boss, i.e., manager trainee. (The company doesn’t believe in promoting woman.) The question is: Should we girls purchase a separate gift for him, or should we ask him if. he would like to join us girls in buying a gift for our boss? Wanda Dear Wanda: Continue as you have done in the past Let your plans be known but don’t ask the boss’ assistant to join you. If he wants in he’ll ask you. He may have plans of his own. It would be thoughtful, however, if you girls so desire, to remember the young man with a token gift • • • Dear Amy: When my boyfriend asks me a question, he answers it himself. When I give him my answer he contradicts everything I say. He seems to think he knows everything. I’ve told him about this and he says that he’s "just telling me what he thinks.” If he knows all the answers, why ask me? Except for this, we get along fine. Kay Dor Kav: “Chatterboxing" with the guy j is a useless sport. It will put you in the ring with him, but it won’t put one on your finger from him. He doesn’t want answers. He wants a listening post • • . and you’re it. So listen! • • • DeaiMAmy: I cahnot understand women. When tneir husbands retire, they get tired of having them around the house. I was married longer than “Sick At Heart” is. After my husband retired, he was up first pies salt through the state soils laboratory at Purdue last year showed that 64 per cent needed some lime. The state ASC office estimated that about 1,600,000 tons were being used each year or about 38 per cent as much as is needed. Kosciusko county figures are a little better than the state average probably because we can get lime cheaper because the source is closer than it is for most counties. The name “Christ” comes from the Greek word for “Messiah”, according to World Book Encycloepdia. I The word “crusade” comes from the Latin word “crux”, meaning “cross”.

in the morning, had breakfast started by the time I got up. We cleared the table and did the dishes together. Together we cooked, cleaned, worked, outdoors, watched TV, attended church, shopped, traveled and enjoyed ourselves. We loved each other so much that we wanted to be together always. He did not find fault and was good and kind. Now I am a widow but I have these wonderful memories.

Senator Outlines Goals For Coming Congress WASHINGTON—(SpeciaI) — Senator Vance Hartke today predicted a highly productive Congress ahead and revealed a partial list of his legislative goals. “There are great undertakings in store for the 89th Congress”, Senator Hartke said, “and we can look for-

ward to more significant accomplishment for Indiana and the nation than ever before”. The Senior Indiana Senator recently re-elected by a large margin, said he is spending the month of December at his desk preparing legislation for introduction when Congress convenes in January, and also, examining legislative proposals of other Senators. The Senator said his goals for the coming session include: “1. Repeal of excise taxes on c - metics, jewelry, furs, luggage, and musical instruments. The Hartke bill now has administration support and I predict passage early next year. “2. Reduction of foreign aid. I would like to see this accomplished through a buildup of our private enterprise abroad. The International Executive Service Corps which I originated and helped to organize is now underway. This is a non-govern-ment businessman-to-businessman organization which will, over the long run, reduce our need for foreign aid. If we can now encourage more business and industry to invest abroad through a new tax credit system, the need for government foreign aid dollars will be further diminished. “3. Better Highways. I will re-in-troduce my bill to expand the Interstate Highway system. Millions ot new drivers are entering the highways each year. Old roads are no longer safe or adequate. The Hartke bill will increase the present mileage by 25 per cent and help to cut the tragic highway death toll. This can be accomplished without any increase in taxes. I will also re-intro-duce my bill to provide for a “pay-as-you-go” plan for payment of the Interstate Highway System. This bill would repeal the Byrd amendment which now requires payment on a “pay-before-you-go” system.. “4. A park and port. This session undoubtedly will see action to provide for a National Park at the Indiana Dunes and a deepwater port at Bums Ditch. I will push for eariy enactment of both of these measures. At the same time we will actively consider other areas in Indiana as possible sites for National Parks or monuments. Conservation of the vast store of Historical Indiana sites and lore will be forwarded. “5. Boosting higher education. The Hartke College Assistance plan is already law in part, yet there is still much unfinished business in this area. I will work for early passage in this Congress of my plan to guarantee loans to students, and the scholarship program enabling them to continue with their college education. “6. Fighting Disease. Cancer and heart disease can and must be eradicated. I will introduce legislation to speed research in this area as I have done in past Congresses. I was pleased to note the positive programs offered by the President’s Commission on Heart Disease, Cancer, and Stroke. “7. Camp Atterbury. This disposal of the federal property at Camp Atterbury in the year ahead offers excellent opportuinties to provide vi-tally-needed recreation areas for the public. We will study carefully all proposals received in this regard so that the best possible plan is developed for the people of Indiana. “8. Scenic highway. I will push for passage of the Hartke bill to establish a Lincoln Trail Memorial Parkway from Kentucky to Illinois through the beautiful Ohio River hill country in southern Indiana. This will be the second step in giving proper historical recognition to LinS#y JS with America's most-wanted cleaner! ™ ’ ELECTROLUX Cleaner - Polisher • Scrubber Sales and Service ED ALEXANDER | 1116 E.

coin. The bill which was enacte. created the Lincoln Boyhood'Memor - ial Park in Spencer county. “9. Development of water resources. Flood control projects are now underway throughout our state. I will urge early completion of these vital programs and request new starts in other areas of need. In addition, we must address ourselves to the ever-mounting crises in water shortages, stream and air pollution. 10. Social Security. As in the past, I will work towards modernization of the Social Security system to provide for improved benefits and earlier retirement. I shall seek to provide for payment of Social Security benefits on a bi-weekly basis instead of the present monthly basis. “11. More jobs for Hoosiers. I will make every effort in the months ahead to bring new industry to Indiana and to foster the growth of present plants. Thousands of young people are now entering our labor market and it is our obliagtion to take every step necessary to make jobs available. “12. Economy in government. I am convinced that the 89th Congress can act to meet the needs of the people within the framework of frugality. My voice in the months ahead will be for economy and efficiency in every area of government. I anticipate that my votes in appropriation will be less than SIOO billion even though many ennsider the expected budget of nearly $lO5 billion.
