Is The Decline Irreversible?

One wonders of the decline of cities and towns is irreversible. From what one reads, either a dramatic local action is necessary to turn the tide or a more direct participation from Washington is necessary. The well known commentator David Brinkley said “the decline and fall of the 50 state governments will be completed within our lifetime,” adding that “the state legislatures are made up of parttime amateur legislators and tends to be corrupt and inefficient.” The decline of small towns, as shopping centers has increased at an alarming rate, but this might be a far different problem than the problems that are engulfing larger centers, for instance, New York. 9

Let’s Protest Last year hundreds of persons all over the county protested because American boys were dying in Viet Nam — So we here might enjoy the freedoms that our forefathers gave to us years ago. No one protested against the war on the American highways. The National Safety Council and other highway and traffic agencies kept

By DON FRANTZ — Comity Agriculture Agent THERE: ARE SEVERAL events on the schedule for the next few weeks that will be of interest. One is a county meeting on swine diseases to be held January 36 on the fairgrounds in Warsaw. No one knows what the cost of sickness is to bog nwsers. but if we should lose as lit* "tie per cent in feed efficiency or as much as one pig per litter in death loss, the cost would be in the hundred thousand dollar range. We .hope to have a thorough discussion of the disease problems with Dr. Stanley Bower of the Purdue Veterinary school in charge of the discussion. • • • VETERINARIANS and sheep inspectors of northern Indiana who have worked on the scabies eradication program will meet January 31 at the Steer Inn. This state is now practically free from this sheep disease and it looks as if the job can be completed tn a few more months. •• • • KOSCIUSKO COUNTY will be host to the Indiana Guernsey Breeders Association on January 39. It will meet at the Shrine buildtag ori the fairgrounds. • • • AN AREA MARKET barrow show will be held on the dates January 39 and February 5.

The wealthy are moving out, the poor moving in. And the decline continues. Local government cannot tax enough to turn this tide, but the federal government can and does. The federal government has more sources to tap for taxes — excise, interest, personal and corporate — and it collects taxes at a cost of 44 cents per SIOO, while state governments spend $1 and local governments spend $5 to $lO. For these reasons we can expect the federal government to take a larger hand in reversing the tide of the downfall of cities and towns. And those cities and towns who are last -to recognize this trend will be the last to benefit from it and the last to return to the road ofjvcovery.

telling us the total for the year would hit an all-time high, but, people were toe busy doing other things to pay heed. There were 1,300 fatalities in Viet Nam last year and many, many more on the American highways. In Indiana alone 1,500 persons lost their lives in highway accidents. Let’s start protesting . . . let’s all resolve to be better drivers in 1966 and to stay alive!

and cities. The child gets angry and throws sticks and stones; the adult prepares for his anger by stockpiling bombs and ammunition and training professionals to throw them. A major difference between the child’s activity and the adult’s is that, by and large, the child enjoys his play, while the adult worries about his. — The Zionsville Times

Along Main Street By GEORGIA BUSTER Winter is here with a little snow and lots of high winds. We really can’t complain about the weather — 16 degrees above zero—not bad, but of course everyone would like to have the balmy days stay until spring. Received a lot of notice on the board in the office window showing accidents. Police officer Gary Sevison, who made up the board with photos from the police files, said there was only one accident in a month. A minor accident Christmas eve which, considering the weather, is a very good record. Heard a lot of noise on the street Monday and when I investigated I found a parade going through town. Horns were sounding and a siren Was proclaiming Claypool as the county tourney winner. One thing I will say for the Methodists, they do things the hard way. A group of preachers is riding horseback from Indiana to Baltimore, Md., honoring the anniversary of the church. Had a call from Mrs. Donna Hostetler who is quite concerned about the Newcomers dub and the newcomers to Syracuse. The dub would like to contact all newcomers but unless the members are informed they have no way of knowing who the newcomeis are. If anyone moved into your neighborhood why not call one of the Newcomer members and give him the name and address of the new residents. tn with my Christmas greetings from Mrs. W. E. Long of Sarasota, Fla., was a poem from the Sarasota newspaper. It is worth a chuckle, so will pass it along even though Christmas is long over. The poem follows: , Christmas in Florida “ ‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the town. No noses were frozen, no snow fluttered down. No children in flannels were tucked in bed They all wore their shorty pajamas instead. To find wreaths of holly was not very hard, For holly trees sprouted right in the back yard. In front of the bouses were daddys and moms Adorning the bashes and coconut palms. The slumbering kiddies were dreaming in.glee And hoped they’d find water skis under the tree They all knew that Santa was well on his way In a Mercedes Benz instead of a sleigh. And soon he arrived and started his work He hadn’t a second to linger or shirk He whizzed up the highways and zoomed up the roads In an “S-L300” delivering his ! loads The tropical moon gave the city a glow .And lighted the way for old Santa below. As he jumped from the auto he gave a weak chuckle He was dressed in Bermudas with an Ivy League buckle There weren’t any chimneys, but that caused no gloom

For Santa came in through the Florida room. He stopped at each house, staying only a minute And emptied his 1 sack of the stuff that wa* in it. Before he departed he treated himself J To the glass of papaya juice left on the shelf. When he turned with a jerk and bounced back to the car Remembering he still had to go very far. He shifted the gears and stepped on the gas And up highway 41 he went like a flash. And I heard him exclaim as he went on his way, “Merry Christmas, Sarasota — I wish I could stay.” We had a real blizzard last Wednesday but the warming trend helped and last report was to be warmer and mort rain. Have heard that February is to be one of the worst in the state’s history with several feet of snow. Hope that report is wrong.
