EDITORIALS NATIONAL CHILO SAFETY WEEK

During the September S-15 periml there will be a nationwide, observance which deserves the whole-hearted cooperation of evervone in this country. It is National Child Safety Week, and its pur■pose is to instill in the minds of our school children sound and proven safety practices. The toll of injuries and deaths that accidents take from our youngsters is appalling. It is true, of course, that children are naturally adventurous. They look to ■ which are filled with-hazards. Being immature. they are frequently thoughtless—as grim news items which tell of children running out from between parked cars •affic-heavy streets and there being run down attest. The rules of safety must

NATURAL ADVANTAGES —The -Boonville Standard Recent studies by economists indicate that a large metropolitan trade c may be an the nearby small town. In fact, the merchant in the small town may take more business away from metropolitan competitor than he loses. The result is largely dependent upon the ability of the local merchant to use his natural advantages. The community merchant who operates in the shadow of a large city has resources which his competitor cannot top. such as: • Nearly everyone in a small town his needs before he looks elsewhere. • Other things equal, it is more convenient and less expensive to buy at home

Timeliness of plowing, planting, and harvesting has often been lauded as a major factor of success and rightfully so. However, have you recently taken time to analyse or look for time-saving methods. Often the excuse given is “I haven't the thne”’ . This may be more than a sign of the times—when we are annually growing older. As we agents visit with different cooperatorswv find time—consuming chore- patterns, evidence of "bin nmng or disregard of opportunities for changing hab-

be everlastingly emphasized to them if tragedy is to be averted. Adults must do the teaching. And adults must also advance the cause of safety by example. We read of children who drown because their parents allowed them to swim alone or in dangerous waters. \\ e read also of parents, with their children, venturing out in overloaded boats and swamping, often with loss of life. And. in innumerable instances, motorists callously fail to take the proper precautions when passing schools and playgrounds. So the story goes. It is a story which can be brought to an end if we all will participate in National Child Safety Week —and then apply the lessons for all the weeks that are to come.

than elsewhere. • The Consumer is fully aware that he can hold the local retailer, accountable for faulty goods and unsat isfatory service. He feels less confident about his influence in dealing with large and distant stores. • Perhaps most important, the community newspaper provides an advertising medium which reaches more people at less cost than any medium available to n'.v’ioj*>litan retail advertisers. In the typical situation, it costs a inetrojjolitan retailer 1". times as much to contact a potential consumer in an outlying town than it does the local merchant. The local retailer who does not make full use of his advantages in advertising and promotion sacrifices his own business and the vitality of his whole community.

its—"we’ve always done it this way.” Time for planning is often the nx>»t saluable use of this precious element. The homemaker who plans aliead and makes major grocery buying a weekly or bi-weekly chore saves both time and energy over those who. must "go shopping" two or v . three times a week. . t The farm operator who plans his a feed, fertilizer and seed needs for - the; season may often take advantage of both seasonal and volume discount*. By proper budgeting of his f "cash flow” and borrowed financing he will often buy for less total cost j than "store charges” and “company j finance plans.** » Take time to plan.

WE HAVE HAD several questions regarding the use of direct cut sudaii I or sudan sorghum crosses for silage. 1 This is a very high moisture product ■ and can seldom be a satisfactory feed ■ without the use of a preservative Chemicals will preserve the material; but. because it as a very low I energy feed in this state, it is prei ferrvd to add molasses, corn or corncob meal to increase the TDN. If the material could be cut. con- . dit’oned and wilted to the 50-60 per . cent level, additional preservatives would not be essential. However, even then, the addition of energy feeds will provide a better balanced feed as it comes from the silo and insures a better quality silage. SEVERAL.

—. CAPITOL £□ COMMENTS h L ’ Aa U.S. Senator Vance 4 M hartke The Higher Education Act Os 1965

WASHINGTON. DC. — Senator Vance Hartke (D. Ind. ’ today called for Senaite approval of the Higher Education Act of 1965 “so that 100, 000 qualified young Americans may receive the financial assistance they need to enter colleges and universities" The outgrowth of an earlier aid to education bill introduced by Senator Hartke. the Higher Education Act <S.6OO> would authorize S7O million initially for a guaranteed stu- : dent loan program That sum. Senator Hartke explained,' would serve as a federal govem- | merit guarantee to make possible [student borrowing of approximately [s7oo million at subsidized interest [rates from private lending institutions. i “The Higher Education Act is an [investment in the future.” Senator ■Hartke said. “Without it we are deprived of the services to the nation [at their full potential of at least 100, 000 qualified young people whose only bar to college training is a fiancial barrier.” Stating that the lifetime earning ’capacity of a college graduate is a minimum of SIOO,OOO more than that oi a high school graduate, Senator Hartke told the Senate: “From the standpoint of recovery of Federal funds, the additional tax revenue to be realized from these higher incomes far exceeds the Fed-

DISCREDITED ‘MODEL HOME’ PITCH , The descredited "Model Home" j pitch in which a home owner is offered a reward or commission as an iinducement tcFsign a contract for re-' ! siding or other home improvement work is currently wide-spread in northeast Indiana", according to the. [Fort Wayne Better Business Bureau. I The 888 reported that a number jof out-of-state salesmen are presently operating here. In some instances, these salesmen have misrepresented to home owners that they are em- ! ployed by or connected with well known national manufacturers in an attempt to gain the customer’s confidence. The home owner is led to (believe that his home will be used Tor advertising purposes or as a model in the area to showcase the company’s products. A bonus is promised for every job obtained by the company as a result of showing (the home. It is implied that all or a substantial portion, of the Cost of the improvement work can be recovered through such bonus payI meets.

"Sometimes.” a 888 spokesman said, “an official-looking document resembling a bond or certificate is shown which beans the names of large producers of aluminum and steel products.” He added, “In truth, these respected firms whose names are used have nothing to do with the salesman or the company the represents and the use of their names in this manner is usually unauthorized." The “Model Home” approach was described by the 888. as a time wxm, deceptive form of selling in which reputable contractors do not engage. Any deal obtained by this method will not be accepted for FH A insured loans. The Better Business Btweau advised honx' owners that the repeated recurrence of this scheme, and the problems it can lead to, for home owners who are taken in, emphasizes the need to deal with established firms of known reliability for all home improvement projects.

Fishing . Report Unseasonably cool weather, of long enough duration to lower water temperatures, has generally improved fishing conditions hroughout the state giving anglers a preview of the annual fall pickup

eral assistance costs we ’ have ever given, or those which this bill would provide.” The rapidly growing need for student loans, as reported by the Office of Education, shows that in the past decade borrowing for college education has shot up" from sl4 million annually to $350 million. Senator Hartke authored the placement of work-study edtjcatiotiql funds with the Office of Education rather than the Office of Economic Opportunity so that the entire educational assistance program may be related to educational criteria rather than to poverty. “I believe fully in the principle enunciated by the late President Kennedy and reaffirmed by President Johnson that no boy or girl who can benefit from a college education should be denied the opoprtunity because of financial disability.” Senator Hartke said. ‘“When we pass this bill we will be helping them, but in doing so. helping'ourselves as a nation. Our young people are our future and the United States a generation hence will be dependent upon the young people we educate today.” The Higher Education Act is “seed money.” Senator Hartke told his colleagues. “The fruit it bears will become apparent when today’s student generation has assumed tomorrow’s adult leadership.” t i

in fishing activity. In the northwestern section of the state, fishermen are taking crappies from Lake Freeman and Shafer on minnows from .piers, bank, boats or just about any place near the water. In addition to this extreme. IV good crappie fishing, white bass fishermen are experiencing some |of the best success in years bn these two lakes. River and stream fishing has slowed down due to heavy rains and muddy conditions. Bass fishing is picking up in northeastern Indiana. Lakes Adams. Dallas, Cedar, and Wall produced several good strings of bass last week, and a decided improvement in bluegill fishing has been experienced in Pretty, North Twin, and Adams lakes. A few good pike are being picked up in the Pigeon river, and in Lake Gage in Steuben county. Lakes Clear. Round, and Johnson are reporting good bass catches as in the St. Joseph river in Elkhart county.
