Ronn Smith Gives Boys' State Report At Milford

By RONN SMITH With the Kosciusko County Boys’ Staters aboard, the bus left the Warsaw Legion Post at 6:45 am. on Saturday, June 12, 196 i We made one stop at about 10:30 for a late breakfast or an early lunch. We arrived at Indiana university at about 11:30. First, we registered and got our room numbers and keys. AH the Boys’ Staters stayed in the Wright Quadrangle. Two boys were assigned to each room. I was paired off with a boy from Camden. This was lucky for both of us because he was a farmer too, and this gave us quite a bit to talk about since we bad so much in Mrinon. Lunch was served in the* afeteria which we used all week. After lunch we had to fall in formation and start learning to march. We were pretty sloppy at first but by the end of the week we were doing a fairly good job. Each of is was given a badge when we registered which had one’s party on it. I was assized to the Nationalist party. The opposmg party was the Federalists. After a hard afternoon of marching, we had supper and ail went to a meeting at 8:00 p.m. B. W. (Barney) Breedlove, President Elvis Starr (of I. U.), and Chancellor Wells (of I. U 3 each spoke to the assembly of 928 Boys’ Staters We each had a choice of either law. speech, legislature or police as our special course for the week I chose the police rixirse On/Sunday we started folkwring a planned schedule as follows: 6:30 Reveille, 6:45 Flag Raising, 700 Breakfast, 8:15 Inspection, 830 General Assembly. 10 School by counties. 11 00 Political activities. 11:45 Dinner, 1:00 School by counties. 200 Special activities. 3:00 Athletics. 4:10 Band. 500 Guard drill, 5 05 Clean up, 5 30 Flag lowering, 5:30 Supper. 7:00 Political actisity. 8:00 General assembly. .9:15 Free time. 10:15 Call to quarters, 10 30 Lights out.

WESTERN DAYS UPTOWN SYRACUSE — JULY 22 - 23 - 24

I Breedlove told of the history of Hoosier Boys’ State Campaigns ’ 1 Tuesday’s schedule consisted of ’ I lots of campaigning by the possible ! nominees for governor. Our separ- ‘ Ate parties had their conventions that day. Dick Keifer was elected r the Notionalist candidate for Gover-1 nor. The Federalists dected Clark ’: Adams as their governor candidate. ■ Tuesday evening at the General [ Assembly the Governor candidate ?jgave speeches. 1 1 Each city had two counselors. The JI counselors far Watkins city were ; Mr. Mffoan and Mr. Elmes. W’e had ’ to address these men as "sir” just as in. the srmy. They were about the ’ most stnet counselors there but ‘ they still let us have a little fun i (only because their backs were /turned). The primary elections were, held . , on Tuesday and the regular elec-. ’ lions were held on Wednesday. Kei- ( ,ifer who lives in Lafayette, emerg- : ed the victor. He had the respect ’ of more of the boys mainly because J he gave a better speech on Tuesday ’ night He didn’t use any notes but gave a fabulous talk. Adams just read ‘literally read ! his speech and he lost the election. I beleive. by : doing this. Keifer only won by 7 ' votes and that’s not too large a , I margin out of 938 boys. I Another thing that helped Keifer I ■ | was that his administration pro-| > posed a grant for boys to come to > Boys’ State who were formerly in-; eligible such as boys in state homes,. i etc. > Tuesday was the biggest cam-1 dpaigmng dav of the whole week. i s At the assembly Tuesday night. after the governor candidates had given their speeches, each party ' had a demonstration with horns, j i drums and noisemakers in the aud- [ itorium. What a riot! On Wednesday night, the elected . state officers gave tbe.r acceptance , speeches and made huge promises of things to come. / Talent Show On Thursday night we had a talent show: This show had everything from piano players, singers, cornedkfos to combos playing popular hits. ; The latter went over the best of all. > iders and 1 i giride-ons had to skip their regular afternoon classes to practice for the review at the football stadium that {evening. I The governor of Indiana was to be there but had to do something

else and was unable to make it but he did send a fang telegram to Barney Breedlove to read to us Boys’ Staters. The telegram complimented us on otr being chosen to attend H.B.S. and expressed his appreciation for the many people who make it passable for boys to I gam such an experience. j At the review in the stadiwn the Cad Graham Award winner wias announced. The winner of this award had to. be courteous, cooperative, helpful, and an “all around” good citizen. After the review at the stadium we marched to the East Hall where we saw a film on the history of Boys’ State and also listened to Barney Breedlove’s most moving talk of the whole week. He toM of some of his experiences with H.B.S. The one I remember best is when he had to tell a boy during the war that his father had been killed in ■ the South Pacific. He had tears in his eves and his voice was broken when’he told of this experience. Dr. Breedlove has been with H.B.S. every summer for its 28 year hisfory- , „ . On Saturday mormng we fell mto formation for breakfast as usual, packed our clothes, turned in our room keys, and had all kinds of recreation till each of us went his separate way back to regular home life after such an unforgettable j week of marvelous experiences in learning about 'government end I making new friends. I “Gomer” I would like to close this report with a couple of incidents which led-to a member of Watkins City having the nickname ol “Gomer” for the week. Watkin’s City’s guide-on was a ] large bov (225 lbs ' who was about 6 feet tall. He was always turning the opposite way the order wqs n to the.city and hopped, skipped. and jumped hack into formation just as Gomer Pyle does on TV Another incident which led to his receiving this nickname is that he •lost the city’s flag in the cafeteria at noon one day: After two days without a city flag for inspection or formation it was found and returned. .All the boys I talked with were going to make "Gomer" a part of their Legion report. His coming brought manv a smile to the faces of the other' 56 boys in our city. The bes left . U. ..t about 10:30 am. Saturday morning and after

Mrs. Richard Goshert of Harrison township asked that “Slow Children” signs be placed on road 50W north of Mentone. This request is to be taken care of; also a request for warning signs on road 200S by one of the commissioners. Mrs. Richard Hollar, Mrs. Eli J. Slabaugh and Mrs. Melvin Yoder asked that onehalf mile be blacktopped on road 600 N to join with road 1150 W and that one-fourth mile on 1150 W be blacktopped to join with road 650 N. Six families need this in this threequarter mile stretch. They were told by Mr. Ferverda that he can not do this anymore this year, but will consider it for 1966. Harry Stark wants permission from the highway deaprtment to go under a road for drainage in a development on Tippecanoe lake.

NFO Makes Plans For County Fair At a recent meeting held in the social room of the First National Bank of Warsaw Bill Frush was appointed chairman of the National Farmers Organization Booth at the fair on August 2 to 7. Mr. Frush will [ be in charge of securing a deep ; freezer to hold the beef, pork and | fowls the NFO will be giving away I the last night of the fair. The beef and pork will be secured from NFO members. President John Mallot was in ffharge of the business meeting. Don Titus, the new treasurer and Bill Frush, the secretary, gave reports on attending the grain meeting at South Bend. Herb Goodman, head of the NFO Grain Department, reports there k a shortage of soft winter wheat and asked that all members hold and store their wheat. NFO will be bargaining for a price on grain. Jim Beeson, gave a report on the meat meeting he attended at Wabash. Paul Schumucker gave a few pointed remarks on NFO business. The NFO marketing arrangement on meat has been a major factor in bringing about unexpected, substantial and dramatic price rises on hogs and cattie. Other factors such as some reduction in supply, investigation by the Food Commission into chain store buying practices and the farmers selling hogs and cattle at lighter weight have also played a part in the price rise. The following is a quote from NFO National president, Oran Lee Staley: “One of the most difficult jobs in bargaining programs such as NFO’s is to be able to prove to members and farmers in general tl>at tiie increased strength of the NFO has been a major factor in bringing about the v spectacular price in hogs and cattle. It is always easy for those opposing our efforts to say something else was responsible. But one factor stands out at this time and that is that all perdictions of the price of livestock have been that the price of bogs, for example, would reach S2O sometime in June. The S2O figure was reached in April and. of course, has gone much higher.” The next meeting will be held July 26 at the first National Bank at Warsaw. All members are requested to be present for the final Fair plans. HIBSCHMAN REUNION HELD The 26th annual Hibschman reunion was held Sunday, July 11, at the Svracuse Scout calun with the children of Cree Hibschman hosts for the day. There were 111 relatives present. Leonard Hibschman had charge of the business session. Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Kitson of Columbia City will ! be hosts next year.
