You might if your heart stopped, says Dr. John F. Ling of Richmond, pres-1 ident of the Indiana Heart Assoca- J tion. An ancient Japanese hfe-saving | technique, found also in the medical practices of China and Korea, is I strikingly similar to the closed chest cardiac resuscitation techniques only recently “developed” and refined i by American heart researchers, Dr. I ting points out. For "centuries. the Kuatsus 'literally, "life technicians”) of Japan have practiced a secret Judo art which, during the past decade, has been generally known in the West-1 Jem world as "closed chest cardiqc j resuscitation." This technique, used to revive | victims of sudden death, involves manually applied pressure on the > chest in connection with mouth-to-mouth or mouth-to-noee “expired j air" respiration. Sudden death, or heart-lung arrest, is usually caused; by heart attack, electric shock, suf- | location, drowning, or drug reaction. The procedure must be applied within four to six minutes after clinical I death before irreversible brain damage occurs. I Since its introduction during the t past ten years, the “new techniques have brought back to life hundreds of patients who. for all practical; purposes, had died, that is. whosqi hearts had stopped beating and who; had ceased to breathe. : The closed chest cardiac resusci- J lation techniques was developed and J I refined by Dr James Jude and oth-; ers at Johns Hopkins school of medi-, cine. Dr. Ling suggests. “Maybe Dr. | Jude should change his name to Dr. J Syracuse Craft Club Meets At Bon-Len Restaurant The Syracuse Craft dub met L Monday evening in the Redwood j room at the Bon-Len restaurant i with Mrs. Lulu Francis as the bos- j tess. After a dessert was served the. president, Mrs. Carl R. Reynolds. / held a short business meeting.

She had presented each one with a container of tattered flowers in all the pastel shades. She displayed a table of note paper and tallies which were decorated with flowers of tatting, these she had also made. j The next meeting will be a 7 o’clock dessert on Monday. Nov. 1, with Mrs. Nelson Miles.

Indiana's First Newspaperman

Newspapermen have, through the years, been notorious for some of the things they have put in their papers. By and large, they have been a mighty good bimch of people and have done wondrous things for ' their communities, Indiana and the J nation. But newspapermen have a wry sense of humor, sometimes, and (it has persisted from the 1804 Indiana Gaaette, printed by Elihu Stout, to |the 345 fine newspapers of Indiam today. ! Usually a good newsman delinks Jin staying in tbe midclle and letting other people air their gripes, beliefs and tell their sides erf an argument in his paper. Pin him down and he’ll tell you where be stands—quite often he tells you first just what he thinks and then lets everyone in on the act, via the letters to the editor cv’umn or even in his etfitariais. When Elihu Stout founded Indiana's first newspaper in 1804 he wrote; “The object shall be to collect and publish such information as will give a correct account of the productions and natural advantages of the territory (Indiana Territory), to give the latest foreign and domestic intelligence, original essays, political. mortal, literary, and on domestic economics; to select such fugitive literary productions as will tend to raise the genius i or to mend the heart, etc., etc. Tbe s political complexion of the paper ! shall be truly Republican, but it ’ never shall be prostituted to party. Essays of any political complexion

Milford Fall Festival (An Editorial) Milford’s Main street is blocked off, the “big tynt” is up, and eat stands sprang up early this week, preparatory for the four-day Milford Fall Festival. It’s been a long time since Milford merchants and manufacturers got together as they have in this effort to attract people to their community and to show off their wares. A full program, announcing various events — including a beauty contest — appears elsewhere in this issue. The Milford merchants are using this issue of The Mail-Journal, circulated on a boxholder basis, as their means of inviting residents of the greater Lakeland area to their community to help observe their first annual Fall Festival. We wish the Milford merchants every success, and hope they find their efforts rewarding enough to make their Festival an annual affair. - .

Wawasee Fish I ! Hatchery To Close It was announced last week that the Lake Wawasee Fish Hatchery would be abandoned and a portion ’of the facilities will be moved to the Grassy Forks Hatchery near . Martinsville. . The actual closing date has not been announced. The State Natural Resources Commission stated that the reason for abandoning the hatchery was because the ponds were shallow, and in winter time a mass fish kill resulted. The Wawasee site is on, 17.31 acres, one of 11 hatcheries in the state with an area of 102 acres. I Large and small mouth bass, redear sunfish, rock bass and channel catfish are reared at Wawasee. Hie Wawasee site will be developed for-recreational purposes.

As time went on several things appear- I ed in the Gazette (and Stout’s next 1 paper, The Western Sun' which would cause consternation today. Stout printed an article submitted < by Benjamin Parke about his enemy, William Mclntosh. Parke said Me Intosh was “an arrant knave, and a profligate vilian. a distantly cheat, a perfidious rascal, an impertinent puppy, an absolute Ear, and a mean, cowardly poKruon ” A few issues later Parke was permitted to write another article about Mclntosh and this time described him as “the most despicable reptile that ever disgraced the vilest of God’s vile creation." whose “dastardly, cynical soul renders him unfit for society.” Mclntosh finally published a few i choice things about Parke and was : promptly challenged to a duel Me Intosh declined to fight with bullets . and Parke seems to have had the ■ better of it He further characterix- ■ ed Mclntosh as a “fikher, pilferer I and thief.” (Benjamin Parke was a ! leading citizen in early Indiana.

Perhaps circulation increased as a result. (We still enjoy watching someone else fight, don’t we?) Newspapermen, from the beginning have enjoyed fancy language. It’s their stock in trade. Moderns can’t hold a candle to the early boys though. Try this one, which appeared in the Gazette: “Squire Pedant: Dear Sir—At my decession from you, your final alloquy and concinnous deport laid me under (a reasonable obetriction to impart to you a pantography of trie" occidental domain upn which I had placed my opthalmic organs. I now merge my plumous implement of chirography into the atramental fluid to exonerate myself of that obstriction. From my earliest juvenility I possessed an indomitable proclivity to lead those disposed to tbe lection of my lucubrations, to the inception of occurrences. And it would be a dtiucid evagation from my accnstomary route would I not insist upon a regression of your ; mind to the locality where we imi parted mutual valedictions. ” The old Gazette, the Weston Sun ’ and many of Indiana’s early newsi papers have been microfilmed and f cat be seen in the Archives Division -of the Indiana State Library.

'Something Should Be Done About It'!

Do you ever say to yourself, “something should be done about it!” when you see a situation that obviously needs correction or improvement? , Well, so do I. Moreover, as your senior United States Senator, ’ frequently I can do something about it. Take, for instance, the implications of water pollution throughout most of our states. Ours has been called “the affluent society,” for our high standards both of living and of waste. Satirical punsters have changed this to “the effluent society” for what indiscriminate waste materials have done to our pure water supply. President Johnson, shortly before signing the “Water Control Act of 1965” into public law, told a gathering of federal and state officials and conservationists that “water pollution is doomed in this century.”

Before a television audience, the President stated: “This moment marks a very proud beginning for the United States of America. Today we proclaim our refusal to be strangled by the wastes of civilization. "The clear, fresh waters that were our natural heritage have become dumping grounds for garbage and filth. They poison our fish, they breed disease, they despoil our landscapes.” Well, as a member of the 89th Congress, I have thought that my support of the Water Quality Act was “doing something about it.” But I am convinced there is more to do and quickly. The 89th Congress has provided $l5O million to fight water pollution at state and local levels during this bookkeeping year, plus a similar amount for next year.

Boost The Lakeland Area

But I believe that the problem is bigger than one state area or even one entire state. I believe that the ’ Great Lakes states should enter into an agreement to Coordinate and speed our joint efforts. We will hear more on that topic. Meanwhile, Indiana has more than $46 million in requests for federal i grants to cities, counties and towns backed up at the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. The Wabash, White, Patoka and other rivers and waterways are among our targets. Yet, our allowance for each of the next two years in the anti-pollution campaign is only $3, 377,550. My staff and I are hard at work to obtain the necessary funds to move strongly against the pollution of our rivers and streams. Yes, we are “doing something about it.”
