Irresponsibility, Rioting Not Way To Achieve Civil Rights

By JEN KIN LLOYD JONES For a while it looked as though the promised “long, hot sommer" would be neither long nor not. There had been nothing like the Harlem nets of a year ago. or the insane eruption at Rochester. NY. And as the nation began to turn attention to the pre-season profootball games things were so quiet that Dr Martin Luther lung felt he could set himself up as .an envoy between the American people and Ho Chi Minh. Then — the tornado hit Los Angeles and after 72 hours of burning. looting and sniping the country knew it was in trouble again, and this time the riot was bigger and the trouble was deeper. Los Angeles had no history of -slavery or white terrorism In the past 40 years half a million Negroes had come voluntarily to the California city. There had never been schools segregated by law. or separate waiting rooms, or thnial of the right to vote. Yet here a white man—any white man—suddenly found himself a target for no other reason than that he was white. Here the first businesses pillaged and burned were those owned by white men, not because' the mobs had a bill of particulars against their owners, but merely

because the owners were of the wrong race Had the reverse happened even on the tiniest scale — 'had four or Negroes been al fa; for example, and a few Negro stores burned, and Negroes ordered to stay off Peachtree street, there would have been a rush of professors, college students and preachers into to set things right. But after the Los Angeles thing the Negro apologists began coming up with the same eld alibis. The bleeding heart editorial page of The Milwaukee. Journal dernanded that the whites "exorcise this hatred by long hard effort," and predicted that there would be no peace until “the Negro really is integrated into the minds of the whole community, in education, in employment, in dwelling pattern, in family life, in church-going." The New: York Port hastened to say that civil rights leaders had no responsibility, in the outbreak. The New York Herald Tribune said that recent civil rights legislation could not “wipe out the centuries that have gone before." The New York Times spoke of the “legacy of deprivation." and the Pulitzer prize-winning Arkansas Gazette cast the rioters in the heroic mold of those "who are provoked into a will-

ingness to die in a gesture of protest.” • This recurrent theme that Negroes are not responsible for their .ac:i«>ns reached a'high point two weeks ago when a U.S. Govemmeht report blamed illegitimacy, child desertion and live general breakdown of Negro family life in the cities on slavery. The Children of Israel were enslaved by the Egyptians. But when Moses finally got them out he didn’t hand them a license to misbehave for a century or so. He handed them hie Ten Commandments. The most overworked word in the editorials ‘‘explaining” what happened in Los Angeles was “ghetto." Ghetto is an Italian word for the section of a city in which Jews were required to live by medieval law- There are 13 areas of i greater Los Angeles containing major pockets of Negroes, but there is no law that prevents Negroes moving anywhere. | The. “jfoettos” were neighbor- ! hoods once largely occupied by whites. The whites exercised their ! legal right to move elsewhere. But | this has infuriated many Negro leaders. Now they demand rent ,subsides so tint the tax till may be opened to permit even Negro reliefers to move into middle-class neighborhoods. And the assault on neighborhood schools continues, with Negro leaders demanding that children be bleed loog distances from their homes in order to achieve what these leaders consider a proper racial mix. Much was made of unemployment among the Los Angeles rioters. Yet this summer, after Labor Secretary Willard Wirtz idiotically forbade the anportation of Mexican larm later, thousands of acres of southern California vegetables rot- | ted in tbe fields as the Los Angeles unemployed laughed at the labor "recruiters. The. jobs were hard and I hot mid not up to* their dignity. The immigrant ancestors of roost American whites arrived with noth- ( mg and grabbed any opportunities they could get. It took years, if not generations, to rise from a cold water tenement or a prairie sod house to a comfortable home. But fas former Los Angeles mayor Norris Poulson said after the riot. "Politicians have been trying to outdo each other by continuously orating about the abused Negro and ! how he should have the same luxuries as the educated Caucasian. Naturally, this poor, uneducated Negro begins to fed sorry for himself and thinks the only way to

A Lawn's i Last Chance I LAFAYETTE — Time is getting short for giving your lawn that last boost*before winter. It has been a good season for lawns, Purdue university extension horticulturists say, so a well established root system is present to take advantage of extra care. Your last chance to see much good come from fertilizer in the. fall is to apply it before midOctober. A number of good fertilizers will do the job. An analysis similar to 16-8-8 is excellent Apply no more than 10 pounds to each 1,000 square feet. If it does turn dry. additional watering will help. You'll also want to keep tree leaves raked off the grass. If they mat together, they can kill patches of grass. Be sure to keep mowing at a two-inch height as long as the grass is growing, and try to keep off your lawn during freezing and thawing periods.

This is one of my proudest achievements, but one which could not have been accomplished without the effort of many — especially the Wabash Valley Association working steadily over the years, together with many dedicated individuals, some of whom I saw again on this trip. The close federalstate cooperation we have developed was evident in the makeup of our party, which included John Mitchell, Indiana Director of Conservation; John King, state director of the Farmers Home Administration and Lenard Pound, state director of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service. Hie Wabash is rich in history as well as being a natural resource. The Tippecanoe and Mississinewa Battlegrounds, the Wabash and Erie Canal, the Thomas Mill — these spots on our route are only part of a great heritage. I hope to •secure more historic marking by with scenic and recreation opportunities, increased attention to our history cot attract more and more tourists.

Christmas Gift Suggestions j For Servicemen Overseas What does the American serviceman in Vietnam, Newfoundland, the Azores, Germany, or anywhere rise far from home, want for Christmas? Red Cross workers stationed with troops throughout the world have asked them for suggestions and found these answers: 1. Homemade things like candies, ■cake, sweaters, and pictures of foe. family top every list. 2. Favorite brands of cigars, hometown papers, and “surprise me"l gifts tinned up in many of the replies. 3. Many of the younger men, iocluding officers, are interested in gifts of clothing in foe latest style trends to supplement foe good but more conservative clothing available in the post exchanges. The United States Fort Office recommends that for military addresses overseas, surface mail should be sent between October 21 and November 10.

New Drainage Code Goes Into Effect January 1

The new Drainage Code goes into effect January 1, 1966. It established new legal procedure for the construction, reconstruction and maintenance of public drains or ditches. Many of the existing laws are either incorporated into the new law’s or are repealed. For many years landowners, individually and through their organizations, had asked for a modernization of the drainage situation naming the water Resources* Study Committee as the responsible group. Hie new’ Drainage Code is a result of that study and there is ! probably no piece of legislation in recent times that received the ad--1 vice and counsel of as many dis- , ferent people of the state. The new code establishes a new legal body known as the County Drainage Board. The members of the board are the commissioners and the county surveyor; Hie surveyor may not vote. The board has the authority' to construct new ditches, reconstruct old ones, maintain existing ditches or to vacate those which are no long- ! or necessary. Hie surveyor is ordered to class- : ify all existing legal drains and to recommend the order of priority of work. He must also prepare the standards of design and superin- | tend the work. He will be the cus- } todian of the reports, plans and ■ specifications and make cost estimates of any work. The three

classifications of existing drains in , which he may place them are (a) in need of reconstruction (b> in need of periodic maintenance (c) to be vacated. Landowners in disagreement with the classification may request a change of classification or a change of priority. The record of the board action in making the classification is of public record. New drains may be established by petition to the drainage board The surveyor will review it for legality, costs and benefits and the board will set and hold a public hearing. If the owners of twothirds of the land and fifty-one per- j cent of the assessed evaluation affected offer a remonstrance, the petition is automatically dismissed by the board. If a remonstrance does not appear the board will make its determination as to the establishment of the new' drain based on information from the surveyor and from the public hearing. The second major change in the new Drainage Code is in the area of reconstruction and maintenace of existing drains. It is no longer necessary to petition for reconstruction. The reasoning is that in the orginal establishment of the drain, landowners went through all the legal procedure necessary and since that was done landowners should not have to go the process again just to make the ditch work. There cannot be no

I What To Do In Lightning Storm Persons living on farms,, or in suburban areas were reminded by the American Insurance Association today to seek cover when a when a lightning storm threatens. Lightning causes every eighth fire in the United States, and on farms in the Middle West lightning is the leading cause of fire. The best place to be during a storm in which lightning is striking nearby is in a building with a steel frame. If lightning strikes such a building, as a rule, it grounds itself harmlessly. The next best place to be is in your home with the windovys closed. 1 Lightning tends to strike the high- 1 est structure in the area where it : is playing. If you are in an open field and are standing upright, you are the tallest structure in the vicinity and j program are Dr. Edmund G.

automatic dismissal by remonstrance but certainly the board would be sensitive to widespread objections. Maintenance procedures will be set up at the time a new' drains is built or an old one is reconstructed so that they will be kept in working order. Maintenance funds will be established in order that the schedule of work can be done. The new law' established other responsibilities and functions of the drainage board the” surveyor that will permit them to carry out the interest of the law. These include the right to hire attorneys and engineers and to make assessments and hold and use funds. Hie law established jurisdiction only over drains that are legal or public drains and were established by law. The board has no jurisdiction over private ditches or those established as mutual drains. This would be those on the lands of more than one owner but established by mutural consent. A third designation of water movement is called a water course and is a natural channel for water No change has been made regarding jurisdiction of natural water courses nor does the Drainage Code affect the natural lakes. A digest of the law is being written, vve will have copies soon and they will be available to any interested person; ■

more likely to be hit if lightning ; strikes. Try to get inside a house or shed or barn. If there are none around, lie down on the ground, or, if possible lie down in a ditch. Never seek shelter under a tree, for the lightning may strike the tree and you when it grounds itself. In the open, lightning can be attracted to you if you have a steelshafted golf club, or a metal fishing rod, in your hand, j Trice these precautions, and you can protect yourself from lightning. If lightning should strike your house, call the fire department immediately as a precaution. The lightning may have started a fire where it could go undetected. It is best to* have a trained fireman check. Should such a fire have started, he would be able to detect and extinguish it.
