Should Repeal H. B. 1063

Stan Pequignot of Pierceton, a student in the Indiana University School of Law, calls out attention in a letter to the editor (in this issue) to what he considers an unfair voting practice. We feel inclined to agree with him. If Stan is correct, members of the new Indiana General Assembly will, be asked to repeal 11.8. 1063 which prohibits Indiana residents, attending in-state colleges and universities from voting by absentee billlot. In many cases, i.e. Stan's, it would work a hardship on students to drive to their hometown to vote. It would mean

Fred J. Anglin

The cnniniunity of Leesburg—-indeed. Kosciusko County—will miss the pleasant, hearty smile and the abundant volunteer work of Fred J. Anglin whose funeral was held at the Leesburg Methodist Church Sunday afternoon. He died suddenly Thursday morning. Fred's good work extended far beyond the bounds of his beloved neighbors in An active member of the Leesburg Methodist Church, he was a member of Masonic Ixxige No. 181, York Rite at Warsaw. Scottish Rite. Mizpah Shrine. Leesburg Lions Club, and Kosciusko Realtors’ Association. He was past governor of District 25-G. Lions International, and a member of the Lions Cancer Control Board.

FARM ■NOTES«gK By DON' FRANTZ County Extension Agent OXLY TWO INDIANA counties that are growing in population do not have any county-wide planning .»xi zoning programs One is Hamilton. caught in a squabble between an old established populace and a state capital which was begun to engulf them. The other is Kosciusko A public meeting to discuss this problem will be held on Tuesday evening. Nov. 15, at the Milford Fre station. It wifi be for Jefferson and Van Buren townships and sponsored by the Farm Bureau ANOTHER MEETING OF general interest wll be held Thursday evening. Nov. 17. at the Shrine bidding on the fair grounds This will be an explanation of the Indiana Vocational Technical College Act of 1963. This new law would preside for vocational training centers for high school graduates and drop-outs who need further training before seeking jobs. Glen Sample of Indianapolis and Matt Dalton. Warsaw, are trustees of the IVTC and will lead the discussion. MILK TRICES HAVE been at low level for several years. -As a result of this few farms have dairy cows and in fact there are some counties with only a few hundred dairy cattle in the entire county. We have fewer daTymen and fewer rows than we have had at any time in the recent past. Those that. remain in the business are in concentrated areas of the county and we are in one of them. Northeastern Indiana produces Indiana's milk supply to a large extent. Kosciusko county has dropped farther in production than have the surrounding counties of Marshall. Elkhart and Noble but we still produce far above the majority of Indiana counties. When wx? speak of a drop in dairying it refers only to the number of people who have cows and to the nuniber of cows. This trend has been continuous. Another trend is going on at the same time and that is an actual increase in production. This trend will fluctuate from year to year but over-aH it is upward in this county. Our annual production is nearing 70 million pounds. Dairymen are getting this increase in production from fewer cows with leas labor several ways, better breeding and health, better feeding and better equipment The artificial insemination program begun about 30 years ago has made ate contribution to the industry. The use of improved equipment has permitted an increase in labor ef-|

The Indiana Sesquicentennial ComI mission has announced that Kosciusko county will receive one of 40 state historical markers presented to i ; date as part of its historical mark- ■ J <ng program. The marker is to be located on a j public square in Warsaw or where-1 e\er county officials would like to place it in the county seat. The text on the plaque will read: Indiana's Glacier Lakes About 14.000 years ago melting blocks of ice from the last, or Wisconsin Glacier, formed the Ketllehole lakes of northern Indiana. The largest lake. Wawasee, • and the deepest lake. Tippecanoe, are in Kosciusko county. The plaque will be sent to John j Kleeman. Warsaw Chamber of Com-1 merce, Warsaw. He is the county’s Sesquicentennial chairman and will prepare the location and make the, necessary preparations for a dedication ceremony. The markers are similar to those seen on the grounds of the state capital and the state office building i in Indianapolis. They are of cast aluminum, navy and gold, seven feet! high with a plaque dimension of 42 inches by 30 inches. Whitley, Saint Joseph and Wabash I counties have also been announced as recipients of the Sesquicentennial I markers. Whitley’s marker will be placed on the Eel river, northeast corner of Union township on a road that passes ' the rite and shall read as follows:

cutting classes, thus jeopardizing their scholastic record. No good student wants to do this. A student movement has sprung up called OBI’S. Operation Ballot Box for University Students, which is gaining wide support from students and university administrators alike, asking for the repeal of H.B. 1063 that university students may vote by absentee ballot. We feel this matter should lie brought to the attention of District 9’s new legislators— Thames Mauzy. Arthur Coblentz and Ralph Heine.

In Kosciusko County, his big volunteer service went to the Red Cross blood program, of which he was past president. Commenting gayly on his services to these many groups, Fred remarked one time. "Some day l‘m going to get me a job that pays me something.” Fred provided leadership in Leesburg when it came to raising money to aid a high school principal who had been unfortunately burned; he headed a program for Leesburg to thank those who helped during the Leesburg Lumber Co. fire. This was Fred Anglin’s chief forte — helping others.

And he did all this with a huge smile. His smile and his volunteer good works will both be missed dearly.

High birthrate kept mankind go-' ing in Hoosier pioneering days, ( Babies were bom at twice the rate j they are today (and died off much ’ faster too'. To appreciate the things, we have now it is sometimes neces-1 sary to think about the very grim • facts of life which were ever pres- i ent in the days of our forefathers, j Reading gravestones in an ancient! cemetery will show the mortality j rate in pioneer days. Indianapolis was commenced a- ■ bout 1820 in one of the most miser- ■ able locations that could have been j picked Luxuriant foliage and trod-1 den-down plants underwent decom- j position with accompanying vile I odors. Domestic animals sickened, and died and soon people came. down with “fevers”. An epidemic, started in cabins near the river I and spread. Between July and Octo- • ber everyone in the village had suffered from “intermittent” and “remitten'' fevers and about one out i of eight were dead. Serious consideration was given to the removal of Indiana's new i capital from the wilderness back south to civilization. Hindustan. county seat of Martin county once bid fair to becoming the _ largest inland town in southern Indiana and had a population, it is ! estimated, between 1.500 and 2.000. iln 1836 an epidemic of “fevers" struck and in a few short weeks .wiped out the place. It was said that for days there were more dead than alive in the village. A burying ground on the side of a nearby hill had a single marker to show where the victims were buried — if they were buried. Fevers and aque and the shakes were endured by almost all. The “ager” was serious, but not too fatal, and it was a strange ailment. There were many different kinds of ager; the three best known were i called Dumb. Shaking and Chill fever.

Some people had their ager in the morning, some at noon and some in .the afternoon. Seldom did anyone have it after eight o’clock at night. Some had ager every day and could set their docks by their attacks while others had a remittent type which hit ever>- other day. Still others had chills one day and fever the next. Until an immunity was built up against the shakes people had to schedule their work and appointments around their ager. Old timers said “children were bom with it,” “cattle leaned again--Ist the fence and shook with it,” “even an Indian dog had the malady” and occasionally a poor devil would have the ager so badly that I he wtxrfd “shake so hard he’d rattle ' the dishes on a log cabin wall.” An ager attack came on with 'yawning and stretching and a feeling of being conked out. Fingernails turned blue and there came sen- • sations of chilling, increasing until the teeth began to chatter. Then the chills increased until the victim literally shook all over and would continue shaking for as long as an hour. When the chilling subsided the ager turned into fever which ' generally was accompanied by a j headache and perhaps a backache, j ! which continued until there was copious sweating and a return to i : normal. Then and only then could an ager victim begin to st ir himself * around and get back about his business. To a stranger the malady could look quite serious but people ac- ■ cepted it and would simpiy say. “Ah. he ain't sick, he's only got the ager.” But the poor victim was w-eak. kmguid and felt pretty stupid and sore His eyes had “too much white” and his ears had “too much | roar.” He was sallow and jaundiced and he staid that way until final-,

ly, after months and months of ' experiencing his “shakes”, got over the ager.

Nappanee Teacher Says Study Hall A Waste Is the biggest wasteland in today’s high school the study hall — overflowing with gum-chewing, notepassing. sleepy-eyed pupils who receive expensive babysitting from a teacher whose talents could be put to better use? This charge is leveled by a high school English teacher. Mrs. Wanita Ball of Nappanee, writing for the current issue of “The Indiana Teacher”, an official publication of the Indiana State Teachers Association. Study halls. Mrs. Ball says, are a parking place for pupils who are not temporarily occupied with chorus. gym. or other part-time subjects. Study halls are also away station for pupils wandering to or from the principal’s office, the library, lockers, restrooms, or the

guidance office. Only rarely — according to Mrs. Ball — are these periods used for their announced purpose — study. Two remedies for these wasted learning hours are proposed by the autlior of The Indiana Teacher article: 1. Eliminate study hall, increasing each class period by 10 minutes. Teachers in each subject could then allow’ certain class time for supervised study. If the pupil starts his assignment before he leaves the classroom, he will not have a chance to “cod off ’ and lose his motivation, Mrs. Ball believes. 2. Instead of heixling 50 to 100 pupils into a room to fkfeh, divide them into smaller sections for definite purposes: remedial reading for the poorer pupil, speed reading for the gifted, typing for the noncommercial pupil, or intensified guidance counseling. The writer agrees that such programs would require extra effort on the part of teachers and adminstrators. “But surely,” she recommends, “that work would be far more rewarding to both the teacher and the pupil than the countless wasted hours now lost in the name of study halls.”
