Winnie The Great •.'•: ' ' ' - ’ Literally millions of words are being written this week and spoken over radio and television about* the illustrious life of Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill. His death at 90 leaves a great vacuum in the life of Britain and citizens of the T'ree World. For he, indeed, was their champion. There is little we could say here about this gre.it man. with his huge cigar and two upright fingers giving the V for victory sign, that has not already been said, but we should not fail to recognize him at his passing just the same. - Old Winnie, as he liked to be called, was the personification of John . Bull — Britain’s I’ncle Sam. His strpng jaw and set eyes, slightly stooped figure was

The President elected in the year 2000 will have to be 35 years of age on inauguration day. if the present constitutional age requirement for presidents continues.

One — the One .that makes the headlines — covers a single year’s outgo. The other — the one few of us know about — makes available additional billions to be spent over several years. In either cgse, the unbelievable bills must be met. in the t&ces we pay now and in the » <iebt we bequßßtti to our descendants.

RESPECT YOUR HUSBAND’S WISHES

Dear Amy: Do you think it is wrong for a married woman of 23 to go to a dance with her sister and broth-er-in-law? I love to dance and can’t see any harm in going with my family. My husband works out of town and doesn’t approve of my going to dances. Instead of arguing over the issue, we decided to have you settle it. % Bebe Dear Bebe: There’s no harm in going anywhere with your family. It’s what, you do when you get there that counts! Respect your husband’s wishes. This is one of the personal liberties that a woman sacrifices for the man she marries. • • • Dear*Amy: f b My wife and I have been married for twenty years. We couldn’t have any children of our own and so,‘over the years, we adopted two girls. I have always been devoted and faithful to my family. Among our friends, there is a . young married couple that visited us ‘ quite often. The woman, is quite attractive and I was drawn to her. I visited her alone one afternoon and attempted to make love to her. She was shocked and ordered me to leave her home. Since this incident, this young couple has never paid us a social call again. My wife noticed this and called them to find out what was wrong. The woman was quite cordial and led my wife to believe that there was nothing wrong, however my wife feels, that she must have done or said something to hurt their feelings. I can’t bring myself to tell her the real reason why we lost their friendship. Should I tell my wife the truth or play dumb? A Foolish Husband .Dear Foolish: You don’t have to play -dumb. You are! If your wife is the type who can forgive and forget, come clean. If not, you will have to live with your conscience . . . and I hope you have profited by your stupid mistake. • • • Dear Amy: Every time my wife and I go to a social function or a party, she immediately forgets I’m alive. She goes to the .man who is the center of attraction and there she stays until it’s time to leave.

I have talked to her about this and even bought a book on clever party tricks, but nothing has helped. , I'm rather quiet and can t compete with these men who know “how to win friends and influence people.” I’d like to know , how to keep my wife by my side on these evenings out? Sober Sam Dear Sam: Try this: Pick out th© most attractive woman in the room and be as attentive to her as you know how. Your wife will be at your side in no time flat if you show her that you’re alive and kicking. • • • Dear Amy: I just read your column in our local paper and the ansy|ers you gave were so sensible that I thought maybe you could help me. I’m the mother of 4 boys, ages 18, 16, 14, and 6 mos. Every time one of them is unhappy, I cant’ stand it and get severe headaches. The oldest wanted to join the navy; we signed for him. He’s now unhappy in the service. He wanted to marry a Wave at 18; we signed for him. I now worry if he is happily married. He always wanted things he was too young for—for instance, he got his first car at 12. I just haven’t learned to say ‘NO’ to anything any of my boys wanted. My two middle boys are very sweet an’d reasonable but the baby is sure spoiled. It’s getting me down—all of it! Can you please tell me if all mothers go through the same thing or is it just me? Mrs. Miserable Dear Mrs. Miserable: . - I certainly hope all mothers don’t go through what you describe. The happiness you want to enjoy from your children can - only be achieved by doing for them what is necessary for their physical, mental and moral well being. Overdoing and not being able to say ‘NO’ results in their inability to grow up and become responsible adults. Raising four boys isn’t easy, but if you raise them right, they will be happy and so will you. • • a Address all letters to: AMY ADAMS C/o THIS NEWSPAPER For a personal reply enclose ■ stamped, self-addressed envelope.

THTP 1 JlIJu HOOSIER DAY By FRANK A. WHITE WHAT ABOUT OUR 36th President, Lyndon Baines Johnson, from a Hoosier viewpoint? Most of us sensed his political poi tency when he was the first Democratic Presidential candidate to i ry Indiana in more than 30 years. He is in a position to claim public mandate for he got 61 per cent of the popular vote in the November 3 election. Tbat is about 43 . million votes. No President in the history of our Republic has had a legislative background'equal to him. He sat in Congress from Texas from 1937 to 1948.

Rural electrics GENERATE in EVERY state bordering INDIANA I * I | Many people think that REMCs in Indiana will set a precedent by generating their own j electricity. Some believe that the REMC generating plant at Petersburg w’ould be the first of its kind in the country. The fact is that Indiana is an island in the midst of states where rural people are generating electric power for themselves. For example—there is one rural electric generating plant in Kentucky, and another one under cnn struct ion. There is one in Illinois ... two in Michigan ... one being built in Ohio. W isconsin—which almost borders Indiana is

Then he went to the U. S. Senate and was Democratic whip two years, minority leader four years, and then majority leader at 46 years of age. There are many facts to back up his knowing the Congress better than any other, President. All the Presidents, with possible exception of Eisenhower, held you have to get tough with Congress. Johnson treats congressmen with consideration. That he is an expert in getting what he wants from the legislative body is attested by the fact that he got ,56.7 per cent of his 217 specific requests through the 88th Congress. His breathing of new life in a federal pay hike bill that was dead, shows his winning technique. With a few well placed phone calls he ressurected and saw passed this S2O million dollar pay raise. At the same time he engineered a sll billion tax cut that had its impact on voters. The most monumental piece of legislation that Johnson got through was the Civil Rights law. This was a most delicate operation on the part of the President from the south. He won Republican members of congress to help put it across. To date since the election President XDnhson is going slow so as not to scare congress. He is wooing business, calming down the far leftists, trying to avoid

crises, both domestic and foreign. He is presenting what will be his “Great Society” piecemeal on a long range basis. His request for foreign aid is the lowest yet, sensing the resentment the public shares on trying to buy friendship of nations with dollars. Johnson is a very “earthy” President, typical of the southwest and west as compared to the east. In his own words he came as near dying from a heart attack as has any man who lived. It crept out that he drove his car 95 miles an hour. His physican shocked the drys by reporting Johnson liked a highball of “Scotch and branch water” before his main meal. He declined to wear formal “tail§” and top hat at the inauguration in favor of a business suit and modified western hat. He survived with a minimum of public indignation the Bobby Baker scandal and possibly some sharp dealing in the estimate of some $5 million the President is worth. President Johnson is a dreamer as well as an activist. He wants the ruling Soviet Union bosses to visit him- He has forogtten that Nikita Khrushchev’ visited America pounding his shoe on the table in the United Nations and shipped nuclear missies to Guba after the visit President Johnson is intent on medicare for the old and eradication of poverty in America? He overlooks

It is hard to understand why we REMCs should have difficulty getting permission to generate our own power here m Indiana. Rural electrics originated here . . . and we have done an outstanding job providing an electric service to the rural communi y. Surely we have earned the right to generate, the same as our neighbors.

that poverty has existed since dawn of history. No doubt he will accomplish much. The President took office for a full four years in his own right, with the greatest overall prosperity and employment our nation has seen. As for me the election is over. President Johnson is my President, and the President of tlie United States, that encompasses everything we hold dear. While he may do many with which I disagree, I am confident he will make a good President. ’ McFARRENS RETURN FROM FLORIDA i a Mr. and Mrs. Paul McFarren have returned from a two-week vacation in Florida, arriving in Pierceton about 5 p. m. on Sunday.
