Later in the day the boys from Claypool defeated Akron’s Flyers to become the undisputed champs of basketball in

A Placelo Begin

Kosciusko county basketball tournament managers could do well to take a leaf from the book of Indiana university president Elvis Starr in promoting patriotism. . We’re thinking about the lack of participation on the part of students and adults in singing the National Anthem at the opening of each tourney session. We think, if tourney managers would urge students to'“sing along,’’ the adults would quickly follow. This could s be done by the simple expedient of having tourney announcer Glen Longenecker urge that

A Bit Os Caution Fishermen are fishermen and there seems to be no way to stop them. As soon as the channels around the many county lakes froze over this year fishermen began to venture out on the ice. Knowing it to be a little dangerous — the lakes still aren’t frozen — many are taking a bit of caution by tying ropes to bashes and brush along the shore so

January

This is the heart of winter. Powerful winds sandpaper mountain peaks and bludgeon granite ridges. Tall elms in the river valleys stand like steel etchings above the muted music of the ice-prisioned water. A pallid sun moves through gray clouds and casts hue on fields and pastures, The Indians called this the Wolf Moon —the time when famine stalked the land and wildlife fought for survival. Snow covers the countryside and the silence of the first month is deep in the woodlands. This is the first page of a new book and a clean journal waits for its record. In the Old Farmers’ Almanac 1875 it is written, “In all the turning points of life we must try and get a good start for the race that is before us. To begin right is half the victory.” In the month of January, he who is sensitive to the turning year knows that the funda-

crease in hog marketings, we can still have profitable prices in the year ahead. INDIANA HAS BECOME an important producer of beef feeder cattle and feeder pigs. As specialization continues we will probably not import feeder livestock from as far dbI tances as we once did. I There were 27 cattle and 63 feeder pig auctions held by the southern Indiana feeder cooperatives this past year. The livestock sold grossed over ! four million dollars. The first year »of these sales grossed about $30,000, but the volume and quality have in- ; creased each year. At the same time the cooperative sales have grown, there has also been a good gain in individual ‘sales, esI pecially of feeder pgs. This has per- ' mitted larger concentrations of feeder stock of higher quality. DON SCHEER, our extension horticulturist. has this suggestion. Cut a few brandies from shrubs in January and bring them in the house for a preview of spring tyYou can force flowering from such shrubs as forsythia and flowering almond by simply bringing them into a warm room. Pussy willow branches will open for beauty indoors. Tender green leaves of privet will also provide spring beauty in January. Six toUkinch branches are best. After you bring them indoors, split the lower inch of two of the branch with a knife or crush it with a hammer. Then, completely immerse the branches in water and soak them overnight. The next day, place the branches in containers so their bases are in a couple of inches of water. The buds on flowering branches will begin to get plump in about • week.

they can pull themselves in if the ice should break. While fishing is a very rewarding and relaxing sport we plan on taking a bit more caution and will stay off the lakes until the ice gets a little thicker. We hope others will do likewise. To those who insist on fishing we urge a bit of caution. r

mentals are clear. Wind and cold and snow are integeal ingredients of our climate. The stripped branches of the trees, the moaning of a woodland pond on a zero night, the monotone, eerie calls of the owls in the darkness and the blurred beauty of falling snow are basic, things. Both"' the silence and the sounds of January tell a life story’. There are nights Os blazing stars and calm, cold, day of brilliant sunshine when white beauty * sparkles on the heights. There are times when tempests roar and cold probing fingers infiltrate the old farmhouse. But the time of daylight grows longer each day; the chickadees’ cheerful chant is heart-lifting. Life waits m buds on the limbs; seeds wait on Earth’s breast. January is the heart of winter but one knows that when Time is fulfilled the miracle never fails. — Haydn S. Pearson.
