We're Flying The Flag
We read an article in the Beams of Grace written by Rev. David R. Haifley, pastor of the Grace Bible chuch at Syracuse. We agree with it 100 per cent and asked his permission to use .it in <>ur editorial column. “We fly the flag and use it as a means to protest the unamerican acts of the bearded rabbles who burn draft cards, stage demonstrations, and actually vandalize government” are words found in the first paragraph of Rev. Haifley’s article. The rest of the article follows: “Last October, a group of renegades from nearby colleges (two professors were included) invaded a selective service office in Ann Arbor, Mich., scattering records and causing a general state of confusion. Incident!}' the students were enjoying the privilege of student deferment at the time and as one reporter put it, ‘a deferment purchased by the service and blood of other young men who by reason of economic or other circumstances' beyond their control are soldiers rather than students.’ “These people call themselves ‘pacificous’, and claim to base their lawlessness on the teachings of Jesus Christ in
Girl Scout Week
Some of the innumerable “Days” and “Weeks” which we are supposed to celebrate each year in this country are without any notable significance and importance. Some are unconsciously silly. Some are highly specialized and are of interest only to the few. But, there are some which have earned and which deserve the recognition and support of us all. That is true a dozen times over of Girl Scout Week, which is to be observed this year during the March 6-12 period. The Week’s stated purpose is: “To •elebrate the birthday of Girl Scouting in the United States.” That birthday took place on March 12, 1912, in Savannah, Georgia. In the intervening years, the movement has spread across the nation, bringing life-long benefits to legions of girls. They learn the arts and crafts and
That Sounded Better
Following the county basketball tournament we editorialized concerning the fact that the audience failed to sing the national anthem as it was played just prior to tile final game. We noted all it would take would be a reminder by the tourney announcer that all should join in to sing the anthem.

Some of the fast growing pines for poor land are also gone, but we don't order them much for this part of the state.

Up to now this demand has been filled by trees that were not of high enough quality for good lumber, Mt the supply of these has not been increased along with the increase in demand. The paper products of Indiana pulp-wood have increased in volume about eight per ent a year in each «f the past ten years. Two Indiana mills now use pulp-wood at the rate of 600 tons of pulp-wood per day. This to quite a bit and as they took

the Sermon on the Mount. But don’t be fooled, they are really anarchists in disguise. People who can not accept the responsibility of citizenship. “Here they are, in this country, enjoying the privileges of free assembly; the right to worship; the right to protest; the right to own property and taxfree colleges; freedom from seizure; and so on.’ These rights and privileges came to them not freely, but at a cost of many a young life —of many a broken-hearted mother, or wife, or other dear one who felt the grief of receiving that fatal telegram from the War Department. “How is it possible to have any respect for such people who enjoy all of these privileges (which, we repeat, they would not and could not enjoy if some had not gone to war and died!) and then do all they can to cause more heartache and suffering by aiding and comforting the enemies of this very freedom? “Draft card burners’ Send them to Viet Nam? No, we would stand a much better chance winning the war if we would send the yellow cowards to the Viet Cong, and the sooner the better!”
domestic virtues which are particularly suited to feminine temperament and inborn talent. They learn of the wonders of nature. They learn how to get along with each other, and to show respect and understanding and tolerance for the thoughts and aspirations and ambitions of others. They learn the disciplines and attitudes that are vital to a happy and useful life in society. Above all — and this was never so vital as today — the Girl Scouts build They are the enemies of delinquency’ and the firm and dedicated friends of the moral standards which are the real strength of any nation and its citizens. Let all salute them during the forthcoming Week — and let all help their cause in any way he can.
Apparently we hit pay dirt, since this very thing was done Saturday night at the sectional tourney. Announcer Robert Steele asked the audience to join in as a Warsaw student played the national anthem on his horn. It sounded better. Frankly, it sounded wonderful.
UNEMPLOYMENT CLAIMS DROP AGAIN With improved weather last week a number of out door projects were resumed and unemployment inst - ance claims dropped to 27.806 from 30.314 the week before. Lewis F. Nicoiini, director of the Indiana employment security division, said that decreases in initial claims were reported by 23 of the agency’s 29 offices and that claims for continuing weeks of unemployment were down in 21 areas.' The only large layoff reported was in the Gary area w : here a supplier plant had a temporary' reduction in force because of curtailed production by a Wisconsin automobile manufacturer. Mr. Nicoiini said that the claims total last week was only about threefourths that of the same week in 1965 when unemployed Hoosiers filed 37,199 claims. LPOAL

The Library Os Congress Honors Indiana
Hoosiers visiting Washington in the next few months will want to take a look at the Indiana Sesqiricentennial exhibit in the Whittail Pavilion of the Library of Congress. At my request, L. Quincy Mumford, the Librarian of Congress has put together an usual display of materials about Indiana's history, politics, and authors. The exhibit includes rare books and manuscripts from the Library and from die National Archives which date from colonial days. Included is a letter from George Rogers Clark to Governor Patrick Henry of Virginia telling about the capture of Vincennes from the British in 1779. A map of Fort Wayne and vicinity, hand drawn in 1795, and once used by General Anthony Wayne, is shown. William Henry Harrison, hero of die Batde of Tippecanoe who later became President, describes this battle in a personal letter which is in the display. Other items deal with the early history as a state. Highlights are: the petition to President Madison from the Territorial Legislature asking admission to the Union; the Indiana Enabling Act and the Congressional Resolution admitting the new state, and the first Indiana constition, printed in 1816 at Vincennes. The display of Indiana's 150 years as a state includes works of such Indiana authors as George Ade, Edward Eggleston. Thedore Dreiser, James Whitcomb Riley, Booth Tarkington, and General Lew Wallace. who wrote “Ben Hur.” Many of the “Abe Martin of Brown County” catoons by Kin Hubbard also are included. In a century and a half. Indiana has had its share of political history', too. Four sons of Indiana have served as Vice Presidents, and the exhibit includes their pictures: Schuyler Colfax, Thomas A. Hendricks, Charles W. Fairbanks, and Thomas R. Marshall. The Library of Congress is only a block up the street from our Senate office building quarters. We look forward to your enjoyment of the exhibit when you come to Washington — and seeing you in our office, toot.
