S.E.X. As Described By Mr. Edgar Speer

(EDITORS NOTE - The following is the text of the speech given by Edgar Speer, Lakeland's elementary coordinator and principal of the Syracuse elementary school, at the recent meeting of the Syracuse PTA. We have read it and think other Lakeland parents might be interested in what Mr. Speer had to say. While Mr. Speer s talk was directed to Syracuse parents it could just as well, fit the parents of Leesburg, Milford or North Webster students.) I wish there were some way to determine just why you chose to attend this meeting. Was it because you wanted to help your -child's room win the attendance prize? Was it because you wanted to look over the group of 1965-66 teachers? Was it because you wanted to partake of the refreshments or was it because of the title of my talk which is S.E.X ? Perhaps it was because of a combination of the above factors. I’m not sure what you are expecting to hear. However, if you came to hear sex stories, you’re in for a big disappointment. Why did I chose the letters S.E.X. as the title of my talk this evening? It was because PTA. has to compete with many other organizations for the parents. This title is provocative and it attracts attention Wh.it do the letters stand .for? The “X" stands for a “number” of problems pertaining to the “S’yracuse “E”lementary school. . I have no intention of trying to -entertain you tonight I sincerely hope that you leave here in a much more serious mood than when you arrived. Since I have started out with a title based upon some letters of the alphabet. I'm going to continue by stating that the remainder of my talk can be described by another three letter word, "FAD". i The ”F stands for facilities of which we are badly in need. For tne present year we have moved our kindergarten dastos to the Oakwood Center. By putting a temporary wall in the kindergarten room, we have made two small

WASHINGTON. D C — A senator spends a good deal of his time study - ing and debating issues affecting all Americans and, indeed, the en-1 tire work!. But a senator must devote even more time and attention to the wishes and needs of the people and the state he so that be can help to make his state a better place in which to live and work. As senator from Indiana. I haw been deeply concerned about the need for preserving and developing our most precious natural resource — our water. Left uncheck-, ed, water can be a vicious destroyer of Me and property Properly harnessed, water gives life to people, plants and animals it provides beauty and recreation: it enables vast industrial and economic expansion. For a number of years. Indiana leaders failed to give adequate attention to these needs. For example. in 1960, Indiana received only $6.2 million from the national government for flood control and water resources projects. In 1962 next federal allocation — in 1962 — Indiana did not receive a single penny. When I came to the senate taj January, 1963, I requested — and received — assignment to the senate public works committee. From this vartnge point. 1 have been rifle to push to the tore water development projects that have been dormant for too long. A list of needed projecte is devetoped by consultartton with the governor, ins conservation director. Hoosiers in congress. Private Indiana groups interested in water and the U. S. Army corps of engineers. Once the list is developed, it is presented to the senate and house public works committees for consideration. Th ; s year was the first since Utt in which the Congress passed a general bill to authorize new flood control and water development projects. Unlike 1960 and 1962. Indiana was not lightly passed over in the 1965 ; bill Congress authorised more then S9B million for four new reservoirs — Patoka, Lafayette. Big Pine and Clifty Creek — and for a deepwater resources projects. In the area. In addition, the senate passed i a bill to establish the Indiana Dunes. National Laaeubore and the house! has begun hearings on this pro-1

Just for fun. let's com- • I pare the cost of education with ’ four other items: tobacco, alcoholic ’ beverages, bowling, and golfing. : ; Statistics show that the people of. ! this country spend more money on | tobacco each year than they do on ’ education. This is also true of J alcoholic beverages. I don't have statistics to back up my statement ’ but it is my opinion that a person 1 who bowls on a regular basis and practices as he should wiU spend more money per year on bowling ' than the amount which is collected from him each year as tax money , | for schools I think the same is ' true of golfing I’m not trying to take this occasion to get everyone to quit smoking, drinking, bowling, or golfing. I am pointing out that here are four non-essential items with which every person can do without on which we are spending four times more than on education I leave it to you to decide which is more important. I feel that too many people have the false notion that money spent on education is an expense. It should be considered as an investment in the future which wiM pay good dividends. Let's tike up the ‘A* in FAD. This I stands for apathy I think I can better describe tots with a story than with a definition. Last year • a sixth grade boy failed to have an I assignment finished.

(11th In A Series ' By KENNTH HANEY When I think of wheat and oats threshing in the early days on the Island the word “precious” seems to stand out. In the fall, winter wheat was sown and if it survived the “hooving” of the spring thawing you might get a 15 to 25 bushel average yield. Fertilizer , was unknown until that old standby 2-12-6 came into use. Oats were sown by hand which was the Bible times way or by a mechanical broadcaster and disked or harrowed in. In this virgin soil, or “new ground”, oats made a fairly good yield. Harvest time and the MeCormad or Deering binder cut and tied the bundles of grain and dropped them in piles to be shocked. A good job of shocking withstood the wind and rain very well, but, a poor job looked like a tornado had struck the field. There were few threshing machines at first arid much grain had to be stacked or hauled into the barn to be threshed later in the season.

One Os The First One of the first threshing owners around Hastings was Joe Estep. He was tiie son of Sam Estep, Hastings store owner, and the father of Cleo, Gale and Gladys (Mrs. Ted Baumgartner'. Gale, a likeable young chap died soon after the family returned from Florida one spring. Mr. Estep owned the Robert Hollar farm before he moved to Milford. It seems to me he owned the threshing "rigs”. He was one of the first owners of an automobile around Milford. Mrs. Haney recalls he took the cooks and children their first auto ride after dinner one day. What a thrill’ After Mr. Estep. John Kaiser [ threshed on the Milford-Hastings ! road and the South J efferson Threshing Company took the ter- ; ritory from the Albert Krull farm I northwest to the David Deisch i (Richard Hollar» farm. It was a large shareholder company and sometimes threshing in a wet season wasn't completed until late August A wet season sure kept a farmer en edge. Others who operated machines on the fringe were Frank Haber, William end Jacob Hartter and Frank Heplers and his boys in the west end. Some of those who helped to operate these machines were Wflitem Murphy, Tom Sumpter. Clarence (Sox* Hollar, Butch and Jack Kline. A Typical Day On threshing day mother and father would be up at 4 am. Father milked the cows and got the horses harnessed while mother was taking pies and getting things

Dessert and coffee were served by the hostess before her cousins left for their homes.

ready for dinner. The neighbor women would come early to assist. There was wood or coal to be loaded on the mudboat, neighbors : to be notified if they were to haul bundles, haul grain or pitch. There were cattle or hogs to be shut up iand gates opened. If chicken wasn't on the menu ' there was a quick trip to Henry 1 Erick or Dave Hill’s butcher shop .at Milford for beef. As you looked into those ice coolers filled with fresh meat in those hot days my how your mouth “watered”, (saliva)! Canned meat or salted pork wouldn’t be used today for dinner! A threshing crew of four, eight bundle wagons, five pitchers and three shovelers along with the cooks and children took a lot of beef, noodles, applesauce, tapioca, dessert, pie and cake, etc. Everyone tried to get to the first table although there was generally enough to eat The crew had pulled the outfit from the neighbors farm last night after dark with two oil lanterns as lights. Okl Coaly, as the steam engine was familiarly called, was fired up early and the whistle bfowed to call all helpers to come. Maybe a whistle from another machine saying “good morning” could be heard in the distance. There was a code of whistles for bundle wagons, grain wagons, waI ter wagon, etc. One. morning the whistle struck and blew for several hours. Blowing the whistle of a steam engine | still tingles my spine! ■ Old Coaly, loved to drink water, and leaking flues and the steam (valve popping off were taboo with the water wagon boy. With water in ditch it wasn’t too bad but to use ; water from the focal fanner's water tank wasn't appreciated especially if the wind mill wasn’t runI rung. ; Some of the straw was put in the barn and how I envied any boy who could throw this bedding down for the cattle or horses. Many farmers made a pole shed and covered it with straw and around three sides for shelter. A good job of straw stacking was appreciated when bedding cattle and horses in the waiter. Empty barns, useless in this automatic age, were valuable in those days and really appreciated. I, like other boys, carried water to the thirsty men for my dinner. Sometimes a generous farmer gave me a nidde or dime bonus. With a crockery jug, weighing as much as the water it held, you kept making the rounds of the stubble fields, barefoot regularly. To drink from a jug from which a man with a big “cud of tobacco” had just drunk was hard on your stomach. To have a man give the jug a flip of the jug to wash off the bacteria from the mouth made

Milford physician of the day. The other man identified by Mr. Baumgartner is the second one from the right. He is Ortie Lehman, well known local blacksmith in Milford. As can be readily scene by persons familiar with Milford the photo was taken on Main Street in front of the stores on the east side on the main business block.

I your heart sink. But to have some man say, "This water tastes like horse tank?” made you feel lik?, going home. As you sat at that dinner table loaded with good food those wonderful cods had prepared. you forgot those unpleasant words on those ' hot days! Threshing lasted until after dark and then cows to milk and late to bed. Both mother and father would be all in but their “shoe strings.” Supper as well as dinner was given to the help in those days. Dad’s day of freedom came when junior was about 15-years-oid. He was big enough to drive a bundle wagon this year and had joined the ranks of the “men". Just a few rears earlier he had graduated from Sunday “knee britches” (breeches’ to long pants. With his team and wagon he drove into the wheat field. He was warned to “bind" the load well. After getting on a “jag" he asked the pitcher how it looked and got a nod of approval that it would “ride". As he drove that steel tired wagon up the lane one wheel dropped in a mud hole and he felt the load “shift” (slide). His heart weakened as he saw the load s rectangular shape had changed. By dropping the speed to “supper tow” and holding his breath he figured he could make it to the machine. But luck was against him! As he neared Old Coaly one corner slipped off. He drew the belt side of the separator and drove too close. As the belt screeched against the bundle buts, the man tending the separator yelled to get the load away and those were precious inches. ■ To make matters worse, the wind was strong and he had the dirty side. With that divider board in the feeder it was hard to throw the bundles head first in and abort ererv other one fell on the groundEverytime his fork clanked on the feeder there was one sheaf less on the wagon. ’ , Finally after a super human effort he got his "shirt tail" kad “topped out for rain of. and he a man!

A Fight To Preserve United States Jobs

By VANCE HARTKE None of us in Indiana wants ever again to see an economic blow such as hit South Bend when Studebaker departed for Canada. Yet I fear that we are due to see other companies, from Indiana and other states alike, making the same move to the north in the next three years. The reason for my fear is what I believe will be the effect of the U. S. - Canadian Automotive Trade Agreement, signed by President Johnson and Prime Minister Pearson last January. For three days of debate in the Senate, in which Senator Ribicoff and Senator Gore joined me, I tried to expose the dangers in an agreement by which, I told the Senate, the State Department is “again playing international politics with American jobs and American industries.” We came within 6 votes of passing my amendment, which

Briefly, Lhe agreement provides interchange in autos and parts between Canada and the U.S. — but only among manufacturers. Thus, Chrysler can make 70,000 Valiants in Canada and ship most of them here, then ship New Yorkers and Imperials freely to Canada. By eliminating need for some short model runs in Canada production costs will come ' down, while SSO million* in annual • tariff savings will further help build I Canadian plants. i There lies the danger —in Canj adian expansion at the expense of ; U.

ican market by a third, and there are inducements which’ I believe will result in relocation of many U. S. parts companies in Canada, including some Indiana plants. Already, in the first six months of the agreement, Canadian auto and parts jobs have grown more than 13 per cent while ours have grown less than 5 per cent — and the wurst is yet to come. The Tariff Commission has quoted a Studebaker spokesman as saying ■that the “economic climate” in Canada, and the tariff rebate plan out of which the new agreement grew, “were tailormade for our move to Canada.” My fight was to prevent injury to U. S. business and workers. I shall continue to watch what happens and do all I can to safeguard this industry in Indiana i. and the natron. tion of enabling legislation. In the
